Hey lovelies!! 🥰 WOW!! 😯❤️ Can you believe all these alleged rumors? 🤔❤️ Which one shocked you the most? 😂❤️ But hey... we're dealing with CHANEL, right? 🙃❤️ Xx
💖👑👑💖🎬🎥📽hello lovely .If i was you i wouldnt biy that bag because its just going to stress you out and we dont want oit beautiful Romina upset stick with the beautiful vintage bags you all ready have .❤ hope you are haveing a great week my lovely❤xx
I'm pretty sure pressuring people is illegal under harassment in England, and then there's coercion to buy other stuff. Wouldn't hold up in court. That's why Hermes never says it.
I think it's an absolute joke. Chanel seems to think that being exclusive is the same as being luxury. I have never seen another luxury brand (besides MAYBE Louis) have so many quality issues. I've had better quality from high street brands. Brands that have bags that range in the high hundred-low thousand dollars have better leather, craftsmanship and customer service. What also irks me is that they ride on the coattails of social media advertising to stay relevant amongst a younger crowd e.g. signing Jennie of BP as ambassador - but then try to distance themselves from the kind of people that would be the target demographic of this kind of advertising? They want to be aspirational for normal people but want to only see the uber rich carrying their things, when in reality if they didn't have the It Girls signed to them no one would glance twice at them now. Chanel is no longer a trend setter - they follow the trends as much as any other luxury brand. They are no longer luxe - their quality has become abysmal and their customer services is non existent. I think we have seen a move from huge fashion houses with incredible heritage and history to brands that are newer but have excellent craftsmanship. People feel more exclusive carrying an obviously well made bag from a smaller brand, than an over-mass produced bag from a well known brand that is "hard to get" due to artificial scarcity. Don't try to tell me the heart bag, the hardest bag to get this season is "rare" when I can go to Fashionphile and see - no exaggeration - almost a hundred of them (search Chanel CC in love).
@@RominaRoseMay funny how they wanna be seen as french but sign all these foreign celebrities appealing to celebrity is basic and transparent just do something new? NEW CHANEL
Ok gonna be honest with you. When was luxury like Chanel ever about craftsmanship and quality? The bags are made majority sewed by machines. Overpriced and the service is mediocre. Hermes actually makes their bags by hand and the price is similar? The quality is leaps different. There has always been luxury brands that aren’t as known that can make better bags and more creative bags than big houses and it’s always been that way. People who buy luxury love to lie to themselves and say they buy for quality and craftsmanship. What a joke. You are usually buying for a brand name weather you see it or not. Which directly feeds into elitism. Edit: I also want to add. Why do people think Burberry, Gucci Monogram and LV monogram looks “cheap” now??? It’s because more working class people are buying it and it has nothing to do with the looks. Burberry even very recently rebranded from their old style. There has always been elitism.
People are crazy to pay the exorbitant prices Chanel has the nerve to charge! Their quality is terrible. The jewelry falls apart, I have several pieces, and after a few months the glue on my espadrilles started showing yellow!! The CC emblem on my card holder is loose. Your money is much better spent on quality pieces for Aspinal of London, Dior, Bvlgari even Coach has excellent quality and never falls apart.
I honestly think I’d feel embarrassed to take my classic flap out if they bring all these new rules in, what a joke 😂 I can’t believe a birkin 25 is now cheaper than a classic flap! Insane!
I had a feeling that Chanel was heading this way so I'm not surprised. For consumers the bigger issue is quality vs price point. Could be bad consequences for Chanel but it will take about 2 years to really see what happens. Meanwhile, the used and vintage market will reap the rewards. Poo poo on Chanel.
Stupid sheep deserve to be fleeced. Why anyone would waste their time and MONEY 💰💲💲💲chasing a marketing tactic is beyond me 🤷♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤯 There are so many beautiful, QUALITY bags made of beautiful leathers or materials from other brands for those of us with enough self assurance to wear what we love and enjoy without having to follow the herd. Bags and clothes that don’t fall apart, jewelry where the pearls or crystals don’t fall out, shoes that don’t come unglued or have uneven straps, makeup that doesn’t fall out of the… You get my drift. I’m looking forward to all the other brands. Balmain designs are killing it. Fendace actually caught my eye (if not my wallet). Show us all the beautiful things that DON’T HAVE TO ARTIFICIALLY CREATE SCARCITY because they’re beautiful and people are actually buying them and WEARING them, rather than stacking them on shelves like poker chips to be cashed in.
Those are some ridiculous amounts of money for being able to get a bag. The Chanel ones aren't even handmade like Hermés and have quality issues. The people who fall for the whole game have way too much money.
The quality of luxury items scares me, I bought a small LV wallet some time ago and after 2 months the lether inside started to peel off. I went to the boutique and there was no sorry from the sales people, they told me it's normal, this is the effect of using... come on, after 2 months?? I expected to have it for years... well they give me a new one at the end but now I'm afraid of using it. I have a michael kors wallet for over 7 years and it looks like new. :(
I guess we'll have to reinvent the term luxury 🤨. Being able to afford a flawed item with mediocre overall production, that will fall apart soon after, only to get the same one over (and over) again. So basically the Opposition of quality and sustainability 🥴. And the less pricier goods are the ones that deliver instead.
“You cannot just walk into a Chanel boutique anymore” Good, I don’t WANT to walk into a Chanel boutique anymore after what they did to you - which now makes sense because they’re restricting you videoing cos god forbid us common folk to even so much as SEE a classic flap bag on camera 😂
These bags are mass produced and machine made so what is justifying this, other than greed? Message to Chanel: you’re no Hermes. Change yourself, not your clients. Get some decent customer service and a modicum of quality control, and then maybe you can be in that category. Eventually, in ten years when people are fed up and the company’s sales fall dramatically, then people will be able to buy “Chanel for H & M” 😂
Ohh Julie 😂❤️ I would love to see that one day haha!! 🙌 Chanel for H&M... OMG!! 😄❤️ Only time will tell but I think we all have to reconsider where we stand with CHANEL!! 🙃❤️ Xx
I really enjoyed watching this video today. You did such a fantastic job and I had a great time visiting. I am such a huge fan of this beautiful channel 🤔
I recently bought a bag from Chanel from one of the stores in Paris and have been in contact with the SA who sold me that bag. Thought she was a very nice and helpful lady but boy was i wrong! I messaged her a few days ago to politely enquire about some classic wallets & cardholders and kindly asked if she'd be able to let me know if she receives any in the store, only for her to reply "😂 LOL no sorry" . I was shocked by her response, I mean I understand if they aren't able to but whats with that reply?! Best part is that the previous time after I bought the bag she told me she'd hold one of the wallets for me if I came in later that week but I was already leaving Paris and was unable to. I don't get their bipolar attitude, truly getting out of hand!!!😒🤮
First of all, thank you for sharing your opinion and those Chanel disasters. It makes my heart bleed thinking of the joy these women had with their new bags. What is Chanel thinking? How long will they get away with their unreasonable Arrogance? I learned about Chanel when I was a little girl and my beloved Grandmother told me about "Coco". She said it in a special way, I can still hear her voice, although it is nearly 50 years ago. I loved the brand, loved Mademoiselle and loved Karl Lagerfeld and loved the idea behind ever since. What the brand stands for today? Just greed, despite all those poor quality issues. Heartbroken for Coco Chanel and for my Omi.. Sorry, for being that long. Hopefully Chanel will get more thoughtful and sensitive. Otherwise, I am afraid, one day maybe "Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall ..." Sorry, I can´t say it in English. Hugs and Greetings, Romina 🤗❤️
Du hast total Recht - da kann ich dir nur zustimmen!! 🤔❤️ Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall... ich habe ähnliche Erinnerungen an meine Oma und Großtante!! 🥰 Let's see where all of this goes!! 🙃❤️ Xx
Chanel is going in a very laughable direction to me. The prices and the quality do not match up. I think people will be turning to other brands. I’ve bought from other brands as well and the quality control is abysmal. Me and my friends have had issues from YSL repeatedly and their recent price increase made some bags so expensive with popular models being raised by around $400 USD here in the US. I’ve read horror stories on Chanel’s QC with misaligned flaps, missing stitches, misaligned stitches. And when a bag is $10k and not even hand made the QC should be way better than it is. My friend recently went to Chanel and they tried to sell her a display model that was literally the dogs. They told her they had no other CF in black / gold hw left but when she suddenly didn’t wanna buy the crap quality display the SA popped out with one. Crazier to think they would even scam their customers into buying bad quality products to make a sale when they are already having record sales since the pandemic !!!
I've seen mirror image fake bags that are better quality then the real ones! If they can make a fake one better then a real one then Chanel should be ashamed of themselves! You're basically paying for a name not the quality! If they keep it up then costumers will get fed up and stop buying!
Hi, I would never give them a penny of my hard earned money. They are the worse and they don’t care. Years ago they were a reputable company but now it’s all about the almighty dollar.
Raising the price while lowering the quality luckily I have never been interested in a Chanel bag,only a few are modern looking, but you know ne, I am more of a Fendi/Gucci girl!! Good video. Needed to get out there!
Hi Romina, the appearance of a spider while chatting Chanel is ominous! When you showed the alphabets falling off from S22 bag, I thought spidey power! Oops..my lame joke. Let's start on an Hermes journey together. Happy mid-week!
Love your channel! 💜 My pov on this topic is their 'exclusivity marketing' with supposed 'new rules' while dealing with quality issues and petty lawsuits reads as desperate. Maybe business is declining for them.
You know.... We can do what rational Humans usually do- NOT BUY from these brands. Clearly they feel they can survive without the $$ of the regular people who save to buy these bags etc. SO let them just sell to celebrity and super RICH- we will stop talking about them and before long they will STOP their silly classiest separation games. As for the bag falling apart clip: OMG!!! NOOO WAY! I'm shook!
I'm done with chanel after all, really done... My first classic flap medium I bought during my London visit in 2016 for 3900s as can remember , and now 2022 hike to almost 7K.. I miss the old good day when you asking for "What colors do you have in M/L classic ?" And they begin to make those bags in line like rainbows on the table or open the drawers to show you what's inside for you to pick
I'm soooo done with chanel. I don't care how much i love the bags, they are awful to their customers and the quality isn't there. They arn't worth it!!!! Plus, it seems as if chanel lives in another world and they think their brand is above every other luxury brand including Hermès. Either that, or they truly think we are stupid. Like dacob said, people will just start buying super fakes or preloved. I won't give my money to a brand like that.
Exactly my thoughts!! 🙌 I think we all have to reconsider where we stand with Chanel!! 🙃❤️ Only time will tell I guess haha!! 😆❤️ Happy mid-week, Stacia!! 😘❤️ Xx
True..Chanel don't love you they just love your money 💯 and want you to make a poor and they become more riches..because of egi they just want to buy expensive Chanel just to push thier ego..egoistic people are stupid
Hey! Romina I really really really obsessed with your vlogs a lot you’re looking too beautiful you inspired me a lot and I will support you till end😭✨♥️😘
Shocking. I buy Chanel fragrances which I love but have never purchased a bag from them. Haven’t seen one I really love. I did see several bags from different designers in one of your recent shopping sprees/vlogs that I really loved. I am very happy with my Dooney and Bourke very well made bags. I’m going to save up to get one of those bags you showed next time I’m in London or San Francisco (1 hour away). So happy to find your channel.
Welcome & I'm glad you found my channel, Leslie!! 🥰 There are definitely better & wiser choices of bags out there!! 😉❤️ Keep me updated what you'll go for in the end!! 🤗❤️ Xx
So glad I purchased my Chanel bags before all this hoo-ha 😅 Because of FOMO and “exclusivity” people will still purchase and succumb to manipulation. People are easily manipulated these days 🤷🏽♀️
So true!! 🤔❤️ Luckily I'm quite happy & content with my CHANEL collection too but imagine all the people who are starting to collect now!! 😯❤️ It's a nightmare!! 🙃❤️ Xx
Hi Romina, Thank you for your insightful video. Chanel quality is a joke but yet they want to charge high prices. I wanted a Chanel bag but I refuse to shop anywhere with poor customer especially if I am spending thousands of dollars. I am also about employment treatment as well. I've heard some not so nice stories about how they treat their sales associates as well
It seems like the higher Chanel goes on their prices, the worse the quality gets. I’ve never really wanted a Birkin or Kelly, but I’d buy one of those over Chanel now in a heartbeat.
I am going to stop supporting Chanel, just as how i refuse to bother with Hermes games, if they are now going down this route, then they can hug the uber rich to their graves. Lol. Chanel was my fave brand, but i am totally done with them now. Bought so many bags and sold them e.g. boy bag, too boxy, easy to scrape corners, reissue m/l eas heavy with chains and hated the double flap.. didnt even bother to buy the classis M/L because for despite the price, it is as common as the LV neverfull mm. Of which i wld rather carry because it is so functional and as common as chanel classic flaps anyway LOL
No I don’t want to play those petty bourgeois inane games . Ridiculous and why I won’t buy Hermes. One classic flap CC Is staying but I won’t purchase any more . The quality is below par and I wouldn’t waste your money on the 22 it’s hideous looking quality aside . I will continue to buy Gucci I like their aesthetic it’s more eclectic and the quality is great , plus the sa in selfridges are outstanding and super friendly. Leave the CC tittle tattle now darling and move on to pastures ( and bags anew ) 😘x
The problem is, most people with money, mostly cares about brands and name, don't bother much about quality, as they have money to buy new things every month/week. That's why these so called luxury brands are getting arrogant and careless, they know, people will buy for the name, not for the quality. Sad to waste sooo much money just to look rich🙄😐😔
I live in Scotland and we do not have Hermes, Chanel, Dior etc here. How do I get a purchase history when I can perhaps only travel to London once or twice a year? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No no no, just no. 😖 And still there are people who say there are no quality issues. Come on! Chanel is so focused on quotas and opening private shops for VIP only… how about they start focusing on actual quality and service? Hmm? Is that too much to ask? 😂 Loving your channel Romina (and your accent)!! 💕
I heard about the VIP store news this morning!! 🙃❤️ I'm currently working on a video which will go out later tonight and I'm gonna link your video in it too!! 😉❤️ All of this is CRAZY!! 🤭❤️ Xx
Hi Romina I wanted the new chanel small or medium classic flap for a while now. But why change the quota system the price is too high for a machine made bag with other flap quality issues too. Chanel needs to stop otherwise I am moving to dior because it has restricted me now
Chanel is (perhaps was) my favorite brand, but I really love how you showcase other wonderful brands on your channel such as Bulgari. Another brand I am interested in is Moynat. They seem to be of very good quality as well. As much as I love Chanel, I am going to be more open to exploring other brands now. :)
Wow! That's a lot of alleged rumors. The one that shocked me is the tier system, its too similar to Hermes. Copying Hermes' structure/system will not make Chanel more desirable if the rumours are true considering Chanel quality issues. That's horrible. Thanks for sharing ❤
I'm unwilling to play games to buy a Chanel 19. And I'm unwilling to spend $8800 on a new Chanel flap. So if I do decide to spend some discretionary money on a luxury bag, it will be a vintage Diana or vintage Classic Flap and I'll just give up on the 19 entirely since the last few times I've asked about it it they said they didn't have it anyway. I ended up buying two Celine bags with the money I had set aside for the 19 and I'm more than happy with my purchases.
You have only just opened the rabbit hole, my dear. Made in Italy does not mean 100% made by Italian artisans. You will find your designer bag is made by Chinese workers on low-wage salaries in Tuscany. Maybe the cloth is cut by Italians but the bag is made in Prato. Chanel is no Hermes.
All shocked me what u said, about their plans, what I think is, I find it unacceptable that they genuinely believe they can treat their audience or clients like that, for lesser quality, it's stealing people their money out of their pockets, with no guarantee on anything to be able to get a bag. Their demands are unacceptable, you don't treat people that way, no matter what social status they have. You also can't demand people to buy certain things, as far as I always known, the client is king or queen. I don't think I would ever now want to buy something of Chanel or Hermes, because u don't treat people like that. This is purely about how much money can they take from people, like first u need to spent 10K to 50K, then u can see a bag, even ask to buy something extra before u can pay for your bag, not even have a guarantee u will see a bag, cos if people have a higher tier than you, than those people will go first, so it's false promises. I would just keep my money, find another brand, that treats people with respect.
Wow I can’t get over the Quality of Chanel these days 😱 it’s absolutely shocking considering how much They charge and the almost impossible chance to even buy a quota bag…. Think They need to take a good look in the mirror! I think the vintage bags are beautiful and the quality is amazing…. I will stick to those 😁 Your vintage classic is stunning Romina xxxx
That 22 bag it screams CHEEEAAPPP !! I don’t know what it is happening to consumers but you can find the same bag for example in dollar tree shop, only difference it does not have the logo… 🤦🏻♀️
Just wanted to share my fail first Chanel purchase story.. Two weeks ago I accompanied my friend to one of the boutiques in Australia and surprisingly the classic flap in black caviar gold hardware were available in all sizes! Also they had the reissue in the size 225 in ruthenium hardware. I decided to purchase my very first Chanel bag that day. I have been always interested in both reissue and timeless classic bags and because lots of people who own both bags on RUclips said that they normally reach out to the reissue more in the daily basis, so I decided to go for the reissue. Then after got home that day, I got to try on the reissue with different outfits and realised I actually liked the look of the classic more. The next morning I went back into the boutique to swap the reissue to the classic flap and it’s already been taken (of course it would!) I returned the reissue and now waiting for the classic medium size to be available again which I don’t know when.😭 very frustrating that it was right in front of me to take home but I put myself into the wait game situation 😫
I work hard for my money and would never hand over that kind of cash for a bag anyway, especially a bag of dubious quality!!! I have one black quilted small flap that is vintage and I bought pre-loved. That's enough for me as they seemed to have sucked all the joy out of the experience anyway!!! No one is going to tell me what I can buy and what I can't buy - it's arrogant and money grabbing!! Stuff that TBH :-)
Huni.. years ago I bought my classic flap in Antwerp and after three weeks the stichting came loose .. the ***** in the shop said I overstuffed it!!?? After six weeks they”fixed” it and in three more weeks the stichting was broke again.. the Brussels shop fixed it in a hour!! Never used it again😒
I bought a Fendi earring from the fendace and the earring was damaged in box, the stem fell off..this is ridiculous that these brands do not have any accountability. the dollar store has better quality!!
I had bought one of the mini coco handle and it had scratched hardware in box. there is poor quality across the board. I am done buying these things. I love your videos, you are so down to earth😊
Only two bags per year BUT you're only ''allowed'' to buy them when you drop tens of thousends of pounds beforehand? 😮 The customer service and their quality is the WORST. How is this even possible? 😱 Loved the video, thank you for telling us. 😘❤
I have wanted a Chanel bag for so long. I really love the Chanel 22 but now after learning about all these faulty issues, bad customer service and selectively, I’m so not interested in a brand like that. No thanks. (Great video BTW 👍)
I think what we are still exited about the old Chanel, the heritage, that Chanelesque dna, that exclusivity that they had longtime ago, and of course quality that Chanel had. which is more and more becoming as any other brand, less classic more trendy, more logos, and less quality, less design, and prices going through the roof. Have a blessed day 🙏🧡
love your video 💛 I think it's hilarious that channels quality has become a joke but they're acting like they're the best brand on the planet. It think if the 2 items per transaction rule is implemented, it's going to turn a lot of people off. Everything I've heard lately about chanel, makes me not want to buy the product. The brand clearly doesn't want my money, and the bags are falling apart so like they're not even worth it! 🧐💛
I have only one classic flap from 2012. A jumbo with silver hardware. I would love a CF with gold hardware. Just waiting until the right one comes along.
So that’s our queue to walk across the street to the dior boutique and spend our money where we’re respected as customers rather than pawns in a game. GOODBYE 😭✌️
Update, only de classic flap ,in all sizes,and the 2.55 ,in all sizes,are the ones included in the new system,you can only buy personally in the boutique,,classics in new colors from new seasons can be preorder by phone only if you have a good history ,,,,that’s the latest my SA told me
Hi Romina! I am wanting Chanel slingbacks in denim as only one item from Chanel. I am scared of having quality issues with it. Shall I buy or not? If they still have my size. I am really not into Chanel bags as there are other brands that offer better design and lets not forget quality, but slingbacks are too cute. I only own now CC sunglasses, not sure if they worth £500 I paid for as decoration is just glued into strap that is attached to the frame. There are some cool branding details on it but not sure how they will look like after few months down. I think Hermes have nice shoes as well (I saw white cutout laced up ones) and I think slightly even cheaper, but I know I wouldn’t have the quality issues. Not sure if I even want to speak to the snobs at Chanel at Harrods regarding those slingbacks. Illiterally I will tell them off if they try to be mean to me. I am not paying for this treatment! I have reached high tiers shopping at Harrods I don’t have to waste my money at chanel. I hate the whole idea of booking an SA and wait, Dior don’t do this, only Chanel and LV, not sure how Hermes works, but I will find out bext month as I have some items I want to see. Just accessories for now 😊
I love Chanel slingbacks - I was just recently almost purchasing a pair of purple tweed Chanel slingbacks!! 😍❤️ Definitely listen to what your heart wants and let me know what you decide!! 🤗❤️ Xx
Lol! That’s why the resellers are doing so well. Who wants to go through all of that for a Chanel that everyone and your mother once owned. I have 1 classic black Chanel, and not impressed.
Absolutely shocking craftsmanship now! And this is just crazy that they are pricing there classics more than Hermes…. And to top it all off they will be making clients buy more crap they don’t want to even be given a “chance” to be able to buy a classic. I’m fully put off, and always knew this would probably happen with Chanel but I’m not going to buy from Chanel store with this crap going on. Thanks for your informative videos always Romina! Watching you from Brisbane Australia 😊❤️ xx
Hi dear, what a shock about the Chanel quality. U were saying that for VIP customers, they can only get two classics bags per year. My girlfriend just returned from Perth, her friend in Perth is a VIP customer and she managed to purchase 3 classic bags in different colours n one white seasonal collection. So I don’t know actually how Chanel “rules” are??? Anyway, want to let u know that I had received my Roberto Cavalli flower Felix tote bag, I think I ordered the mini size one☹️ but it actually looks cute n I can put a compact wallet n my handhone in it, so maybe is blessing in disguise😂It is magnetic closure. I also received the Roberto Cavalli logo-print cotton T-shirt (White tiger head with red Cavalli name on the black T-shirt). It is very beautiful! I am so happy. Today I ordered another Cavalli bag, colour block drawstring mini pink bag. Is so pretty, I might received it next week. Again thks for your shopping vLog that I can buy special pieces. Maybe I can used my son Instagram, to sent u pictures of my bags. Told my husband I couldn’t helped it but has to keep on watching your shopping vlog. Lol.❤️❤️❤️. Hv a good weekend.
Those new rules will be implemented soon - let's see what's going to happen!! So happy you got your Roberto Cavalli bag - congratulations, lovely!! Enjoy her!! ❤️❤️❤️ Xx
Hi Romina! Thanks for the videos. I've never been a Chanel fan but now I'm def. not buying ANYTHING from them. I prefer Bulgari, Dior, and even your recent find - Irregular Choice. It's fun to have something different. I wonder if you'd be so kind as to do a Dolce & Gabbana boutique video. I love their boutiques and would like to see what's new. I know you love your lace tote bag. I always enjoy your videos. Have you found wedding shoes yet? Check out Roger Vivier's wedding selection. They are pricey but so lovely. Hope the bun buns are doing well. Maybe you will do a video on those cuties soon! Love ya!
The bunnies live their best life haha!! 🤭❤️ I should really include them in a vlog again - will do!! 🥰 I found wedding shoes - for me it's always difficult to find beautiful shoes that are still comfortable because my feet are really REALLY sensitive haha!! 😂❤️ I can't wait to show you what I picked!! 🤗❤️ Xx
I was about to fly to Dubai to get my first Chanel bag. I live close by. Could it be that Chanel sends defect merchandise to Dubai for sale?? That would explain the letters falling off of a new 4000 dollar bag. Now I am rethinking. Any thoughts on this please 🙏🙏🙏
Hi, Romina, Good topic to talk about this new buying system at Chanel. I guess it's bad for those of people who buying a lot of Chanel, but I think this would only encourage me buy from preloved or buy less. lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Hi Romina, thanks for making this video! I was considering buying a Chanel 19 bag, being my very first as I love the shape and functionality of it but I’m not really sure anymore 😔 with all these new rules and quality issues it seems I’m better off getting a small Birkin or Kelly
I think it is time for influencers/vloggers to recognize other brands. I love my Salvatore Ferragamo quilted Gancini black bag with the gold hardware the same size as the Chanel trendy CC and I never ever in the world would exchange it for a Chanel even if you would give me for free
I really don't see why anyone is shocked about chanel quality it has been going down hill for years but instead ot complaining and stopping buying the brand they have kept on purchasing. So people who puchase don't seem to care so why should chanel they kkow people will buy and pay what ever the ask. Chanel last year out sold Hermes ,LV and Hermes . They aren't worried about losing clients who havve to save and only buy bags. They know that there are wealty clients who will pay what ever they charge without hesitation or worry about quality. Chanel wants all their merchandise to be purchased especially the clothing and high jewelry. They can make even more billions if every one purchases these things .During covid the super wealthy got even richer not poorer chanel knows there is money to be had and they are going after it.
I was such a huge huge fan of chanel bags ...but after all these horrible policies i think that they are not even worth the "exclusivity " sh*t ...no point wasting money on bags, costume jewellery or shoes ( chanel has never designed a proper pair of heels they are of a useless height and most of the shoes are horrible ) i feel that we should focus more on the ready to wear as the the clothing is what is really luxurious in terms of chanel ...as they use expensive materials like wool and tweed which are way more worth than anything else
I was in Rue Cambon earlier this week and I saw a lady being offered the 2.55 and small Black CF and she didn't sound like a regular customer and I was able to purchase 1 item without having to buy a second item so I hope these are all rumours!!! 🙏
I really like your personality. But I wanted to ask u. Why RUclipsrs r talking too much about Chanel quality issues and next video we see them unboxing a Chanel bag. Why complaining if they LL keep buying
Wow! that video of the letters falling off is just wrong!! how awful!! I have been purchasing Chanel since the late 90's. It's crazy what its coming to. I am so disappointed with all the price increases this last year and a half. I know they are not happy with the resale side of it and that is a big reason as to why this started I believe. I won't be buying much from them anymore. Still the shoes and perhaps a cute RTW piece.....but the bags are just too pricey. Have a lovely day!
Nahhh no matter how beautiful Chanel or Hermes bags are, I am not into the game bcos I definitely will not buy items I am not interested just to get the bags. If I am not offered a bag I want, I’d just walk away and find other beautiful bags from other luxury brands. Why fret when the brand/SA doesn’t care?
Fascinating vlog - Chanel is taking people for idiots. Until we stop purchasing from them, they will not up their quality. Vote with your wallet and refuse to buy Chanel new.
Love your take on this romina!!! I know deep down we always will love Chanel but the direction they are going is kind of uninspiring 😂 I still am excited to see your preorder though!!! 💜🦄
Hi I have three Chanel bags Chanel 19, Chanel trendy cc in black and Chanel vintage medium square flap bag from year 1996. And I must say the vintage quality is amazing and spectacular. I will always prefer to buy Chanel bag preloved and vintage. I am happy with my small Chanel collection and now quality is so poor and prices are increases three times a year so I don’t think I will buy Chanel bag from Chanel store. And honestly I can’t afford the current Chanel prices it’s too much. I will rather prefer to buy van cleef fine jewellery but not Chanel new current bags anymore. I long Chanel vintage ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
good afternoon, how are you? in a post covid world I think it's sad people think they're superior for scholarships or anything, chanel is on the way to setback, and honestly I don't like the hermes game, post pandemic I've reviewed many things, for now I'm happy with Bulgari kiss from Brazil
Well… I admit I am not super rich to be able to get exactly bag I want from Chanel, they also answer me “sorry, we don’t have it”😂 season bag - no problem. Buy classics really difficult to get. So I turned to preloved market and chose what exactly I want. I am going to review Chanel 2.55 in satin on my channel soon, I got it a few days ago😍
Chanel always proud of soaring record sales..but compare with the hike of price..that mean chanel didn't improve..and maybe less handbag sold..chanel bag didn't last for long and many issues with the customer service
I always be careful with Chanel handbag. I bought my wife 4 chanel handbag ..thar also after 10 years. Chanel price now unbearable..compare with hermes birking..quality still far away...but now Chanel didn't bother..they use artist for marketing and just for fashion...look like the new creative director also just prefer a showoff fashion catwalk instead of really care of quality products..some of their accessories also look so cheaply made..not all Chanel item really worth the money...just be careful and really careful...as the Customer service in Chanel didn't even bother when u made complain afterwards...
As an adult ,i do not like to play games when it comes to being a consumer,besides all chanel bags STILL look the same nothing special even the tweed!! only EVER seen them on old lady's 😑😒 with ugly insides to match 😬
How weird must be different countries. I’m in the US. I don’t even have an SA. We are pretty well stocked. I waited 2 weeks fir a medium classic flap and it was perfect now I do shop through neiman Marcus. They are wonderful. I went to Troy Michigan she had 4 classic flaps in various sizes. She even had the rose gold hardware. It was stunning. 2 classic flaps a year sounds normal to me. A bit upsetting to see those letters falling off tho. She should just take it back it was probably a lemon. Not everything is perfect ladies and gents not even for eight grand. Lol
Hey lovely, I know might not be the case but what make me so sad is that the majority of the people still buy this, I’m an Hermes lover and I can’t stand the poor quality on Chanel, I’m a luxury costumer since always so I’m very under the radar, I don’t like logos but respect who likes it, which I don’t respect are people that support this brands that doesn’t delivery quality, experience and respect for us.
LV price is already ridiculous for me so I'm glad I'm not into Chanel and certainly I'm not an Hermes fan. Thank goodness bec imagine dreaming to have a bag that cost a leg.. and then quality issues?!. I'm just a housewife lucky enough to carry some LV and a Gucci I'm happy as a clam. I love watching diff bag reviews but I'm not a collector and I know I can't afford more than what I got right now. I even need to let go of 3 LV bec I wasn't really using them. But man Chanel is going crazy , it's ok I think if the quality is on par bec there's so many Chanel fans out there.
My tinfoil hat is on! What if the garbage quality is to put off those who don’t have money to waste on bad quality, and then when they get their target clientele they will boost up quality but at an extortionate price increase? I feel the price increases, quotas, and bad quality are their tactics to get certain clients to buy and decrease how many bags are out in the wild.
Hey lovelies!! 🥰 WOW!! 😯❤️ Can you believe all these alleged rumors? 🤔❤️ Which one shocked you the most? 😂❤️ But hey... we're dealing with CHANEL, right? 🙃❤️ Xx
💖👑👑💖🎬🎥📽hello lovely .If i was you i wouldnt biy that bag because its just going to stress you out and we dont want oit beautiful Romina upset stick with the beautiful vintage bags you all ready have .❤ hope you are haveing a great week my lovely❤xx
@@sharoncole8249 Good advice, Sharon!! 🥰 I really don't know what to do yet!! 🤔❤️ It's quite shocking, isn't it? 😯❤️ Xx
I'm pretty sure pressuring people is illegal under harassment in England, and then there's coercion to buy other stuff. Wouldn't hold up in court. That's why Hermes never says it.
@@seabreeze4559 CHANEL will also never properly say it - they are going down the exact same path as Hermès!! 🤔❤️ Xx
@@RominaRoseMay these brands don't realise we take those laws super seriously x
I think it's an absolute joke. Chanel seems to think that being exclusive is the same as being luxury. I have never seen another luxury brand (besides MAYBE Louis) have so many quality issues. I've had better quality from high street brands. Brands that have bags that range in the high hundred-low thousand dollars have better leather, craftsmanship and customer service.
What also irks me is that they ride on the coattails of social media advertising to stay relevant amongst a younger crowd e.g. signing Jennie of BP as ambassador - but then try to distance themselves from the kind of people that would be the target demographic of this kind of advertising? They want to be aspirational for normal people but want to only see the uber rich carrying their things, when in reality if they didn't have the It Girls signed to them no one would glance twice at them now.
Chanel is no longer a trend setter - they follow the trends as much as any other luxury brand. They are no longer luxe - their quality has become abysmal and their customer services is non existent.
I think we have seen a move from huge fashion houses with incredible heritage and history to brands that are newer but have excellent craftsmanship. People feel more exclusive carrying an obviously well made bag from a smaller brand, than an over-mass produced bag from a well known brand that is "hard to get" due to artificial scarcity. Don't try to tell me the heart bag, the hardest bag to get this season is "rare" when I can go to Fashionphile and see - no exaggeration - almost a hundred of them (search Chanel CC in love).
Amen!! 🙌 These are exactly my thoughts!! 🙃❤️ Well said!! 🤗❤️ Xx
Preach! Totally agree. 🌸
😅 I agree too
they seem to be dying as a brand and only recycling
@@RominaRoseMay funny how they wanna be seen as french but sign all these foreign celebrities
appealing to celebrity is basic and transparent
just do something new? NEW CHANEL
When did luxury become about gate keeping to make it special rather than, design, workmanship, quality and service?!
Amen!! 🙃❤️ Xx
This is the comment about this topic I’ve read. Facts! Bravo!
This sums it all 👏 👏 👏
Ok gonna be honest with you. When was luxury like Chanel ever about craftsmanship and quality? The bags are made majority sewed by machines. Overpriced and the service is mediocre. Hermes actually makes their bags by hand and the price is similar? The quality is leaps different.
There has always been luxury brands that aren’t as known that can make better bags and more creative bags than big houses and it’s always been that way.
People who buy luxury love to lie to themselves and say they buy for quality and craftsmanship. What a joke. You are usually buying for a brand name weather you see it or not. Which directly feeds into elitism.
Edit:
I also want to add. Why do people think Burberry, Gucci Monogram and LV monogram looks “cheap” now??? It’s because more working class people are buying it and it has nothing to do with the looks. Burberry even very recently rebranded from their old style. There has always been elitism.
So true!
People are crazy to pay the exorbitant prices Chanel has the nerve to charge! Their quality is terrible. The jewelry falls apart, I have several pieces, and after a few months the glue on my espadrilles started showing yellow!! The CC emblem on my card holder is loose. Your money is much better spent on quality pieces for Aspinal of London, Dior, Bvlgari even Coach has excellent quality and never falls apart.
I couldn't agree more, Elizabeth!! 🥰 Bvlgari will forever be my favourite house!! 🤗❤️🐍 Xx
People evidently have more money than sense! 😖
Guys take a look on Coccinelle, italian brand, the quality is fantastic
I honestly think I’d feel embarrassed to take my classic flap out if they bring all these new rules in, what a joke 😂
I can’t believe a birkin 25 is now cheaper than a classic flap! Insane!
I know, right? 😂❤️ Xx
I had a feeling that Chanel was heading this way so I'm not surprised. For consumers the bigger issue is quality vs price point. Could be bad consequences for Chanel but it will take about 2 years to really see what happens. Meanwhile, the used and vintage market will reap the rewards. Poo poo on Chanel.
True, Susan!! 🤔❤️ But because of this, the prices on the pre-loved market will also shoot through the roof!! 🤔❤️ We can only loose haha!! 🙃❤️ Xx
I feel like chanel customers will be viewed with pity like aw you fell for the hype huh
Stupid sheep deserve to be fleeced. Why anyone would waste their time and MONEY 💰💲💲💲chasing a marketing tactic is beyond me 🤷♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤯 There are so many beautiful, QUALITY bags made of beautiful leathers or materials from other brands for those of us with enough self assurance to wear what we love and enjoy without having to follow the herd. Bags and clothes that don’t fall apart, jewelry where the pearls or crystals don’t fall out, shoes that don’t come unglued or have uneven straps, makeup that doesn’t fall out of the… You get my drift. I’m looking forward to all the other brands. Balmain designs are killing it. Fendace actually caught my eye (if not my wallet). Show us all the beautiful things that DON’T HAVE TO ARTIFICIALLY CREATE SCARCITY because they’re beautiful and people are actually buying them and WEARING them, rather than stacking them on shelves like poker chips to be cashed in.
Amen!! 🙌 I couldn't have said it any better, Beth!! 🙃❤️ Xx
@@RominaRoseMay ❤️❤️❤️
This right here!
You nailed it!
@@VforVanity10 ♥️
Those are some ridiculous amounts of money for being able to get a bag. The Chanel ones aren't even handmade like Hermés and have quality issues. The people who fall for the whole game have way too much money.
Exactly my thoughts, Julia!! 🙃❤️ Xx
I can’t believe the letters falling off the Chanel 22 bag and strap falling off the heart bag, I’m shocked, what on Earth 😂
The quality of luxury items scares me, I bought a small LV wallet some time ago and after 2 months the lether inside started to peel off. I went to the boutique and there was no sorry from the sales people, they told me it's normal, this is the effect of using... come on, after 2 months?? I expected to have it for years... well they give me a new one at the end but now I'm afraid of using it. I have a michael kors wallet for over 7 years and it looks like new. :(
The quality has gone down across the board over the last couple of years!! 🤔❤️ Luxury & quality don't go hand in hand anymore unfortunately!! 🙃❤️ Xx
I guess we'll have to reinvent the term luxury 🤨. Being able to afford a flawed item with mediocre overall production, that will fall apart soon after, only to get the same one over (and over) again. So basically the Opposition of quality and sustainability 🥴. And the less pricier goods are the ones that deliver instead.
“You cannot just walk into a Chanel boutique anymore”
Good, I don’t WANT to walk into a Chanel boutique anymore after what they did to you - which now makes sense because they’re restricting you videoing cos god forbid us common folk to even so much as SEE a classic flap bag on camera 😂
So true (and so sad) haha!! 😂❤️ Xx
@@RominaRoseMay 😂😂 see I cracked the code! Have a lovely evening and can’t wait for the next video!!
These bags are mass produced and machine made so what is justifying this, other than greed? Message to Chanel: you’re no Hermes. Change yourself, not your clients. Get some decent customer service and a modicum of quality control, and then maybe you can be in that category. Eventually, in ten years when people are fed up and the company’s sales fall dramatically, then people will be able to buy “Chanel for H & M” 😂
Ohh Julie 😂❤️ I would love to see that one day haha!! 🙌 Chanel for H&M... OMG!! 😄❤️ Only time will tell but I think we all have to reconsider where we stand with CHANEL!! 🙃❤️ Xx
The bags are 1/2 machine made, 1/2 by a person. Watch the video. It’s educational.
@@katemiller7874 Which video?
I really enjoyed watching this video today. You did such a fantastic job and I had a great time visiting. I am such a huge fan of this beautiful channel 🤔
I recently bought a bag from Chanel from one of the stores in Paris and have been in contact with the SA who sold me that bag. Thought she was a very nice and helpful lady but boy was i wrong! I messaged her a few days ago to politely enquire about some classic wallets & cardholders and kindly asked if she'd be able to let me know if she receives any in the store, only for her to reply "😂 LOL no sorry" . I was shocked by her response, I mean I understand if they aren't able to but whats with that reply?! Best part is that the previous time after I bought the bag she told me she'd hold one of the wallets for me if I came in later that week but I was already leaving Paris and was unable to. I don't get their bipolar attitude, truly getting out of hand!!!😒🤮
I hope you messaged the SA during work hours and not after; this could be why you got that type of response.
First of all, thank you for sharing your opinion and those Chanel disasters. It makes my heart bleed thinking of the joy these women had with their new bags. What is Chanel thinking? How long will they get away with their unreasonable Arrogance? I learned about Chanel when I was a little girl and my beloved Grandmother told me about "Coco". She said it in a special way, I can still hear her voice, although it is nearly 50 years ago. I loved the brand, loved Mademoiselle and loved Karl Lagerfeld and loved the idea behind ever since. What the brand stands for today? Just greed, despite all those poor quality issues. Heartbroken for Coco Chanel and for my Omi..
Sorry, for being that long. Hopefully Chanel will get more thoughtful and sensitive. Otherwise, I am afraid, one day maybe "Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall ..." Sorry, I can´t say it in English.
Hugs and Greetings, Romina 🤗❤️
Du hast total Recht - da kann ich dir nur zustimmen!! 🤔❤️ Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall... ich habe ähnliche Erinnerungen an meine Oma und Großtante!! 🥰 Let's see where all of this goes!! 🙃❤️ Xx
The reason why Hermes is Hermes is because every single bag is handmade. It takes about 20 hours to make one bag.
Exactly!! 🤗❤️ Xx
That’s why you have to beg at the store lol. Also the veining is quite unattractive. I have 8 Chanel bags and they are perfect to me.
@@katemiller7874 hey Chanel is going to make people beg as well
They are also machine made with hands btw...same with Chanel. Both brands use machines. Yes Hermes takes longer but still they use machines
Chanel is going in a very laughable direction to me. The prices and the quality do not match up. I think people will be turning to other brands. I’ve bought from other brands as well and the quality control is abysmal. Me and my friends have had issues from YSL repeatedly and their recent price increase made some bags so expensive with popular models being raised by around $400 USD here in the US. I’ve read horror stories on Chanel’s QC with misaligned flaps, missing stitches, misaligned stitches. And when a bag is $10k and not even hand made the QC should be way better than it is.
My friend recently went to Chanel and they tried to sell her a display model that was literally the dogs. They told her they had no other CF in black / gold hw left but when she suddenly didn’t wanna buy the crap quality display the SA popped out with one. Crazier to think they would even scam their customers into buying bad quality products to make a sale when they are already having record sales since the pandemic !!!
That happened to me too once!! 🙃❤️ CHANEL's direction really is questionable!! 🤔❤️ Let's see where this goes!! 😉❤️ Xx
I've seen mirror image fake bags that are better quality then the real ones! If they can make a fake one better then a real one then Chanel should be ashamed of themselves! You're basically paying for a name not the quality! If they keep it up then costumers will get fed up and stop buying!
It's gonna be really interesting to see how all of this will play out!! 🙃❤️ Xx
Hi, I would never give them a penny of my hard earned money. They are the worse and they don’t care. Years ago they were a reputable company but now it’s all about the almighty dollar.
Amen!! 🙃❤️ Xx
Raising the price while lowering the quality luckily I have never been interested in a Chanel bag,only a few are modern looking, but you know ne, I am more of a Fendi/Gucci girl!! Good video. Needed to get out there!
...and I'll be a Bvlgari girl at heart forever haha!! 🥰 There are enough other wonderful brands out there!! 🤗❤️🐍 Xx
Hi Romina, the appearance of a spider while chatting Chanel is ominous! When you showed the alphabets falling off from S22 bag, I thought spidey power! Oops..my lame joke. Let's start on an Hermes journey together. Happy mid-week!
Haha 😆❤️ Yes!! 🥰 Let's start our Hermès journey together, Ying!! 😍❤️ Happy mid-week to you too, lovely!! 😘❤️ Xx
I find it odd how aggressive Chanel is with resellers, like I don’t think Hermes and other luxury houses go after them with lawsuits?
Very true!! 🤔❤️ Xx
Love your channel! 💜 My pov on this topic is their 'exclusivity marketing' with supposed 'new rules' while dealing with quality issues and petty lawsuits reads as desperate. Maybe business is declining for them.
It's gonna be really interesting to see how all of this will play out in the future!! 😄❤️ Xx
You know.... We can do what rational Humans usually do- NOT BUY from these brands. Clearly they feel they can survive without the $$ of the regular people who save to buy these bags etc. SO let them just sell to celebrity and super RICH- we will stop talking about them and before long they will STOP their silly classiest separation games. As for the bag falling apart clip: OMG!!! NOOO WAY! I'm shook!
I'm done with chanel after all, really done... My first classic flap medium I bought during my London visit in 2016 for 3900s as can remember , and now 2022 hike to almost 7K.. I miss the old good day when you asking for "What colors do you have in M/L classic ?" And they begin to make those bags in line like rainbows on the table or open the drawers to show you what's inside for you to pick
True!! 🥰 That's definitely not gonna happen anymore nowadays!! 🙃❤️ Xx
I'm soooo done with chanel. I don't care how much i love the bags, they are awful to their customers and the quality isn't there. They arn't worth it!!!! Plus, it seems as if chanel lives in another world and they think their brand is above every other luxury brand including Hermès. Either that, or they truly think we are stupid. Like dacob said, people will just start buying super fakes or preloved. I won't give my money to a brand like that.
Exactly my thoughts!! 🙌 I think we all have to reconsider where we stand with Chanel!! 🙃❤️ Only time will tell I guess haha!! 😆❤️ Happy mid-week, Stacia!! 😘❤️ Xx
True..Chanel don't love you they just love your money 💯 and want you to make a poor and they become more riches..because of egi they just want to buy expensive Chanel just to push thier ego..egoistic people are stupid
Hey! Romina I really really really obsessed with your vlogs a lot you’re looking too beautiful you inspired me a lot and I will support you till end😭✨♥️😘
Thank you!! 😘❤️ Xx
Shocking. I buy Chanel fragrances which I love but have never purchased a bag from them. Haven’t seen one I really love. I did see several bags from different designers in one of your recent shopping sprees/vlogs that I really loved. I am very happy with my Dooney and Bourke very well made bags. I’m going to save up to get one of those bags you showed next time I’m in London or San Francisco (1 hour away). So happy to find your channel.
Welcome & I'm glad you found my channel, Leslie!! 🥰 There are definitely better & wiser choices of bags out there!! 😉❤️ Keep me updated what you'll go for in the end!! 🤗❤️ Xx
I’m like: how can anyone afford TWO of these bags a year?! Without being really rich of course.
So glad I purchased my Chanel bags before all this hoo-ha 😅
Because of FOMO and “exclusivity” people will still purchase and succumb to manipulation.
People are easily manipulated these days 🤷🏽♀️
So true!! 🤔❤️ Luckily I'm quite happy & content with my CHANEL collection too but imagine all the people who are starting to collect now!! 😯❤️ It's a nightmare!! 🙃❤️ Xx
@@RominaRoseMay Yep. And I’m sure many are also regretting selling some bags that were in heir collection too.
Hi Romina,
Thank you for your insightful video. Chanel quality is a joke but yet they want to charge high prices. I wanted a Chanel bag but I refuse to shop anywhere with poor customer especially if I am spending thousands of dollars. I am also about employment treatment as well. I've heard some not so nice stories about how they treat their sales associates as well
It seems like the higher Chanel goes on their prices, the worse the quality gets. I’ve never really wanted a Birkin or Kelly, but I’d buy one of those over Chanel now in a heartbeat.
Same here!! Xx
I am going to stop supporting Chanel, just as how i refuse to bother with Hermes games, if they are now going down this route, then they can hug the uber rich to their graves. Lol.
Chanel was my fave brand, but i am totally done with them now. Bought so many bags and sold them e.g. boy bag, too boxy, easy to scrape corners, reissue m/l eas heavy with chains and hated the double flap.. didnt even bother to buy the classis M/L because for despite the price, it is as common as the LV neverfull mm. Of which i wld rather carry because it is so functional and as common as chanel classic flaps anyway LOL
No I don’t want to play those petty bourgeois inane games . Ridiculous and why I won’t buy Hermes. One classic flap CC Is staying but I won’t purchase any more . The quality is below par and I wouldn’t waste your money on the 22 it’s hideous looking quality aside . I will continue to buy Gucci I like their aesthetic it’s more eclectic and the quality is great , plus the sa in selfridges are outstanding and super friendly. Leave the CC tittle tattle now darling and move on to pastures ( and bags anew ) 😘x
True!! 🥰 I really have to reconsider whether to get the Chanel 22 or not!! 🤔❤️ Xx
@@RominaRoseMay Your decision of course darling , but I think you will tire of it quickly and it won’t age well . Lots of nicer bags I think 🤔 x
The problem is, most people with money, mostly cares about brands and name, don't bother much about quality, as they have money to buy new things every month/week. That's why these so called luxury brands are getting arrogant and careless, they know, people will buy for the name, not for the quality. Sad to waste sooo much money just to look rich🙄😐😔
Hi Romina do you own any YSL bags? If yes, what are they? Thanks 😊
I don't own any YSL bags unfortunately!! 🤗❤️ Xx
Where did you get this bag so pretty 🤩 is it vintage?
I live in Scotland and we do not have Hermes, Chanel, Dior etc here. How do I get a purchase history when I can perhaps only travel to London once or twice a year? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know, right!! 🙃❤️ Xx
No no no, just no. 😖 And still there are people who say there are no quality issues. Come on! Chanel is so focused on quotas and opening private shops for VIP only… how about they start focusing on actual quality and service? Hmm? Is that too much to ask? 😂 Loving your channel Romina (and your accent)!! 💕
I heard about the VIP store news this morning!! 🙃❤️ I'm currently working on a video which will go out later tonight and I'm gonna link your video in it too!! 😉❤️ All of this is CRAZY!! 🤭❤️ Xx

Smirking and scamming the elite with VIP store's . With the quality issues they have that won't go down well for them.
The quality does not surprise me. They are producing bags in more quantity and designs than I have ever seen. Something has to give!
So true!! 😔❤️ Xx
Hi Romina I wanted the new chanel small or medium classic flap for a while now. But why change the quota system the price is too high for a machine made bag with other flap quality issues too. Chanel needs to stop otherwise I am moving to dior because it has restricted me now
It's a difficult decision!! 🤔❤️ I think we all have to reconsider what to do with CHANEL now!! 🙃❤️ Xx
Chanel is (perhaps was) my favorite brand, but I really love how you showcase other wonderful brands on your channel such as Bulgari. Another brand I am interested in is Moynat. They seem to be of very good quality as well. As much as I love Chanel, I am going to be more open to exploring other brands now. :)
Same for me, Sylly!! Xx
Wow! That's a lot of alleged rumors. The one that shocked me is the tier system, its too similar to Hermes. Copying Hermes' structure/system will not make Chanel more desirable if the rumours are true considering Chanel quality issues. That's horrible. Thanks for sharing ❤
I totally agree!! Xx
Wowow loving hearing all the tea ☕️☕️🍵🍵

I'm unwilling to play games to buy a Chanel 19. And I'm unwilling to spend $8800 on a new Chanel flap. So if I do decide to spend some discretionary money on a luxury bag, it will be a vintage Diana or vintage Classic Flap and I'll just give up on the 19 entirely since the last few times I've asked about it it they said they didn't have it anyway. I ended up buying two Celine bags with the money I had set aside for the 19 and I'm more than happy with my purchases.
That sounds like a very good plan, Anna!! Xx
You have only just opened the rabbit hole, my dear. Made in Italy does not mean 100% made by Italian artisans. You will find your designer bag is made by Chinese workers on low-wage salaries in Tuscany. Maybe the cloth is cut by Italians but the bag is made in Prato. Chanel is no Hermes.
🙃❤️ Xx
exactly, made in Italy does NOT mean by Italians
All shocked me what u said, about their plans, what I think is, I find it unacceptable that they genuinely believe they can treat their audience or clients like that, for lesser quality, it's stealing people their money out of their pockets, with no guarantee on anything to be able to get a bag. Their demands are unacceptable, you don't treat people that way, no matter what social status they have. You also can't demand people to buy certain things, as far as I always known, the client is king or queen. I don't think I would ever now want to buy something of Chanel or Hermes, because u don't treat people like that. This is purely about how much money can they take from people, like first u need to spent 10K to 50K, then u can see a bag, even ask to buy something extra before u can pay for your bag, not even have a guarantee u will see a bag, cos if people have a higher tier than you, than those people will go first, so it's false promises. I would just keep my money, find another brand, that treats people with respect.
Exactly my thoughts, lovely!! 🥰 It really is ridiculous!! 🙃❤️ Let's see where this goes!! 😉❤️ Xx
Wow I can’t get over the Quality of Chanel these days 😱 it’s absolutely shocking considering how much They charge and the almost impossible chance to even buy a quota bag…. Think They need to take a good look in the mirror! I think the vintage bags are beautiful and the quality is amazing…. I will stick to those 😁 Your vintage classic is stunning Romina xxxx
Thank you so much, Sarah!! I totally agree!! Xx
That 22 bag it screams CHEEEAAPPP !! I don’t know what it is happening to consumers but you can find the same bag for example in dollar tree shop, only difference it does not have the logo… 🤦🏻♀️
Chanel is like the worlds biggest troll at this point
True haha!! Xx
Just wanted to share my fail first Chanel purchase story.. Two weeks ago I accompanied my friend to one of the boutiques in Australia and surprisingly the classic flap in black caviar gold hardware were available in all sizes! Also they had the reissue in the size 225 in ruthenium hardware. I decided to purchase my very first Chanel bag that day. I have been always interested in both reissue and timeless classic bags and because lots of people who own both bags on RUclips said that they normally reach out to the reissue more in the daily basis, so I decided to go for the reissue. Then after got home that day, I got to try on the reissue with different outfits and realised I actually liked the look of the classic more. The next morning I went back into the boutique to swap the reissue to the classic flap and it’s already been taken (of course it would!) I returned the reissue and now waiting for the classic medium size to be available again which I don’t know when.😭 very frustrating that it was right in front of me to take home but I put myself into the wait game situation 😫
So sorry to hear that, lovely!! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll get your classic flap soon!! Keep me updated!! Xx
I work hard for my money and would never hand over that kind of cash for a bag anyway, especially a bag of dubious quality!!!
I have one black quilted small flap that is vintage and I bought pre-loved. That's enough for me as they seemed to have sucked all the joy out of the experience anyway!!! No one is going to tell me what I can buy and what I can't buy - it's arrogant and money grabbing!! Stuff that TBH :-)
Huni.. years ago I bought my classic flap in Antwerp and after three weeks the stichting came loose .. the ***** in the shop said I overstuffed it!!?? After six weeks they”fixed” it and in three more weeks the stichting was broke again.. the Brussels shop fixed it in a hour!! Never used it again😒
So sorry to hear that - that's horrible!! Xx
I bought a Fendi earring from the fendace and the earring was damaged in box, the stem fell off..this is ridiculous that these brands do not have any accountability. the dollar store has better quality!!
So sorry to hear that!! 😯❤️ Xx
I had bought one of the mini coco handle and it had scratched hardware in box. there is poor quality across the board. I am done buying these things.

Wow....I'm speechless Romina! It makes me sad. Sad for the customers and sad for what the brand has become 😔.
Only two bags per year BUT you're only ''allowed'' to buy them when you drop tens of thousends of pounds beforehand? 😮 The customer service and their quality is the WORST. How is this even possible? 😱 Loved the video, thank you for telling us. 😘❤
I think we're all wondering about how that's possible haha!! 🙃❤️ Glad you liked it, lovely!! 😘❤️ Xx
I have wanted a Chanel bag for so long. I really love the Chanel 22 but now after learning about all these faulty issues, bad customer service and selectively, I’m so not interested in a brand like that. No thanks. (Great video BTW 👍)
We can always go vintage for Chanel bags!! 🥰 The quality of my 1990 Chanel Classic Flap is amazing!! 😉❤️ Xx
I think what we are still exited about the old Chanel, the heritage, that Chanelesque dna, that exclusivity that they had longtime ago, and of course quality that Chanel had. which is more and more becoming as any other brand, less classic more trendy, more logos, and less quality, less design, and prices going through the roof. Have a blessed day 🙏🧡
Well said, lovely!! Xx
love your video 💛 I think it's hilarious that channels quality has become a joke but they're acting like they're the best brand on the planet. It think if the 2 items per transaction rule is implemented, it's going to turn a lot of people off. Everything I've heard lately about chanel, makes me not want to buy the product. The brand clearly doesn't want my money, and the bags are falling apart so like they're not even worth it! 🧐💛
Exactly, Thor!! 🙃❤️ Everything they do really is questionable!! 🤔❤️ Let's see where this goes!! 😉❤️ Xx
I have only one classic flap from 2012. A jumbo with silver hardware. I would love a CF with gold hardware. Just waiting until the right one comes along.
I hope you'll find your perfect bag soon!! 🤗❤️ Xx
So that’s our queue to walk across the street to the dior boutique and spend our money where we’re respected as customers rather than pawns in a game. GOODBYE 😭✌️
Exactly haha!! 🤭❤️ Xx
Update, only de classic flap ,in all sizes,and the 2.55 ,in all sizes,are the ones included in the new system,you can only buy personally in the boutique,,classics in new colors from new seasons can be preorder by phone only if you have a good history ,,,,that’s the latest my SA told me
It's different from region to region unfortunately!! 🤗❤️ Xx
Hi Romina! I am wanting Chanel slingbacks in denim as only one item from Chanel. I am scared of having quality issues with it. Shall I buy or not? If they still have my size. I am really not into Chanel bags as there are other brands that offer better design and lets not forget quality, but slingbacks are too cute. I only own now CC sunglasses, not sure if they worth £500 I paid for as decoration is just glued into strap that is attached to the frame. There are some cool branding details on it but not sure how they will look like after few months down. I think Hermes have nice shoes as well (I saw white cutout laced up ones) and I think slightly even cheaper, but I know I wouldn’t have the quality issues. Not sure if I even want to speak to the snobs at Chanel at Harrods regarding those slingbacks. Illiterally I will tell them off if they try to be mean to me. I am not paying for this treatment! I have reached high tiers shopping at Harrods I don’t have to waste my money at chanel. I hate the whole idea of booking an SA and wait, Dior don’t do this, only Chanel and LV, not sure how Hermes works, but I will find out bext month as I have some items I want to see. Just accessories for now 😊
I love Chanel slingbacks - I was just recently almost purchasing a pair of purple tweed Chanel slingbacks!! 😍❤️ Definitely listen to what your heart wants and let me know what you decide!! 🤗❤️ Xx
Lol! That’s why the resellers are doing so well. Who wants to go through all of that for a Chanel that everyone and your mother once owned. I have 1 classic black Chanel, and not impressed.
True haha!! 🙃❤️ Xx
I look at those “classics” & see elderly women from my childhood 🤦🏼♀️
May I ask why you aren't impressed x
Absolutely shocking craftsmanship now! And this is just crazy that they are pricing there classics more than Hermes…. And to top it all off they will be making clients buy more crap they don’t want to even be given a “chance” to be able to buy a classic.
I’m fully put off, and always knew this would probably happen with Chanel but I’m not going to buy from Chanel store with this crap going on.
Thanks for your informative videos always Romina! Watching you from Brisbane Australia 😊❤️ xx
Great decision, Nina!! 🥰 I think we all have to reconsider what to do with Chanel haha!! 🙃❤️ Happy mid-week, lovely!! 🤗❤️ Xx
@@RominaRoseMay Absolutely! Happy mid-week to you to lovely! 🥰❤️ xx
Hi dear, what a shock about the Chanel quality. U were saying that for VIP customers, they can only get two classics bags per year. My girlfriend just returned from Perth, her friend in Perth is a VIP customer and she managed to purchase 3 classic bags in different colours n one white seasonal collection. So I don’t know actually how Chanel “rules” are??? Anyway, want to let u know that I had received my Roberto Cavalli flower Felix tote bag, I think I ordered the mini size one☹️ but it actually looks cute n I can put a compact wallet n my handhone in it, so maybe is blessing in disguise😂It is magnetic closure. I also received the Roberto Cavalli logo-print cotton T-shirt (White tiger head with red Cavalli name on the black T-shirt). It is very beautiful! I am so happy. Today I ordered another Cavalli bag, colour block drawstring mini pink bag. Is so pretty, I might received it next week. Again thks for your shopping vLog that I can buy special pieces. Maybe I can used my son Instagram, to sent u pictures of my bags.
Told my husband I couldn’t helped it but has to keep on watching your shopping vlog. Lol.❤️❤️❤️. Hv a good weekend.
Those new rules will be implemented soon - let's see what's going to happen!! So happy you got your Roberto Cavalli bag - congratulations, lovely!! Enjoy her!! ❤️❤️❤️ Xx
Hi Romina! Thanks for the videos. I've never been a Chanel fan but now I'm def. not buying ANYTHING from them. I prefer Bulgari, Dior, and even your recent find - Irregular Choice. It's fun to have something different. I wonder if you'd be so kind as to do a Dolce & Gabbana boutique video. I love their boutiques and would like to see what's new. I know you love your lace tote bag. I always enjoy your videos. Have you found wedding shoes yet? Check out Roger Vivier's wedding selection. They are pricey but so lovely. Hope the bun buns are doing well. Maybe you will do a video on those cuties soon! Love ya!
The bunnies live their best life haha!! 🤭❤️ I should really include them in a vlog again - will do!! 🥰 I found wedding shoes - for me it's always difficult to find beautiful shoes that are still comfortable because my feet are really REALLY sensitive haha!! 😂❤️ I can't wait to show you what I picked!! 🤗❤️ Xx
I was about to fly to Dubai to get my first Chanel bag. I live close by. Could it be that Chanel sends defect merchandise to Dubai for sale?? That would explain the letters falling off of a new 4000 dollar bag. Now I am rethinking. Any thoughts on this please 🙏🙏🙏
I don't think so!! Chanel's quality has gone down worldwide!! Xx
Hi, Romina, Good topic to talk about this new buying system at Chanel. I guess it's bad for those of people who buying a lot of Chanel, but I think this would only encourage me buy from preloved or buy less. lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Same here, Amy!! Glad you liked it!! Xx
Hi Romina, thanks for making this video! I was considering buying a Chanel 19 bag, being my very first as I love the shape and functionality of it but I’m not really sure anymore 😔 with all these new rules and quality issues it seems I’m better off getting a small Birkin or Kelly
Of course get whatever your heart desires!! But a Birkin or Kelly is always a good decision!! Xx
I think it is time for influencers/vloggers to recognize other brands. I love my Salvatore Ferragamo quilted Gancini black bag with the gold hardware the same size as the Chanel trendy CC and I never ever in the world would exchange it for a Chanel even if you would give me for free
Yes!! 🥰 I just recently bought some beautiful Salvatore Ferragamo pearl earrings and I love them!! 😍❤️ Xx
I really don't see why anyone is shocked about chanel quality it has been going down hill for years but instead ot complaining and stopping buying the brand they have kept on purchasing.
So people who puchase don't seem to care so why should chanel they kkow people will buy and pay what ever the ask.
Chanel last year out sold Hermes ,LV and Hermes . They aren't worried about losing clients who havve to save and only buy bags. They know that there are wealty clients who will pay
what ever they charge without hesitation or worry about quality. Chanel wants all their merchandise to be purchased especially the clothing and high jewelry. They can make even more
billions if every one purchases these things .During covid the super wealthy got even richer not poorer chanel knows there is money to be had and they are going after it.
True unfortunately!! 🙃❤️ Xx
Very informative about Chanel. Thank you Romina ♥
My pleasure, lovely!! Xx 😊
I was such a huge huge fan of chanel bags ...but after all these horrible policies i think that they are not even worth the "exclusivity " sh*t ...no point wasting money on bags, costume jewellery or shoes ( chanel has never designed a proper pair of heels they are of a useless height and most of the shoes are horrible ) i feel that we should focus more on the ready to wear as the the clothing is what is really luxurious in terms of chanel ...as they use expensive materials like wool and tweed which are way more worth than anything else
Thanks for sharing your insight!! 🤗❤️ Xx
Love the video
❤️❤️❤️ Xx
The year of your Chanel bag ?
1990!! Xx
I was in Rue Cambon earlier this week and I saw a lady being offered the 2.55 and small Black CF and she didn't sound like a regular customer and I was able to purchase 1 item without having to buy a second item so I hope these are all rumours!!! 🙏
Get what you can while you can!! 🤗❤️ Xx
I really like your personality. But I wanted to ask u. Why RUclipsrs r talking too much about Chanel quality issues and next video we see them unboxing a Chanel bag. Why complaining if they LL keep buying
On the one hand, we report on the news & on the other hand, we're still in love with the brand haha!! 😉❤️ It's a contradiction - no question!! 😅❤️ Xx
Wow! that video of the letters falling off is just wrong!! how awful!! I have been purchasing Chanel since the late 90's. It's crazy what its coming to. I am so disappointed with all the price increases this last year and a half. I know they are not happy with the resale side of it and that is a big reason as to why this started I believe. I won't be buying much from them anymore. Still the shoes and perhaps a cute RTW piece.....but the bags are just too pricey. Have a lovely day!
Good decision, Theresa!! 🥰 I'll also have to reconsider what to do with my pre-ordered Chanel 22 bag!! 🤔❤️ I'll keep you updated, lovely!! 😘❤️ Xx
Nahhh no matter how beautiful Chanel or Hermes bags are, I am not into the game bcos I definitely will not buy items I am not interested just to get the bags. If I am not offered a bag I want, I’d just walk away and find other beautiful bags from other luxury brands. Why fret when the brand/SA doesn’t care?
Exactly my thoughts!! 🥰 It's not worth it!! 🤗❤️ Xx
Fascinating vlog - Chanel is taking people for idiots. Until we stop purchasing from them, they will not up their quality. Vote with your wallet and refuse to buy Chanel new.
Claire's quality for Hermes prices, no thank you .
True haha!! 😂❤️ Xx
Haha
Love your take on this romina!!! I know deep down we always will love Chanel but the direction they are going is kind of uninspiring 😂 I still am excited to see your preorder though!!! 💜🦄
Exactly my thoughts, Jessie!! I can't wait to see her either!! 💜🦄💜🦄 Xx
Hi I have three Chanel bags Chanel 19, Chanel trendy cc in black and Chanel vintage medium square flap bag from year 1996. And I must say the vintage quality is amazing and spectacular. I will always prefer to buy Chanel bag preloved and vintage. I am happy with my small Chanel collection and now quality is so poor and prices are increases three times a year so I don’t think I will buy Chanel bag from Chanel store. And honestly I can’t afford the current Chanel prices it’s too much. I will rather prefer to buy van cleef fine jewellery but not Chanel new current bags anymore. I long Chanel vintage ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good decision, Nadia!! 🥰 I think we all have to reconsider where we stand with Chanel haha!! 🙃❤️ Xx
This is just absolutely mental now, the comparison at the end with Hermes vs Chanel really shows how crazy this is...
Exactly!! 🙃❤️ Xx
good afternoon, how are you? in a post covid world I think it's sad people think they're superior for scholarships or anything, chanel is on the way to setback, and honestly I don't like the hermes game, post pandemic I've reviewed many things, for now I'm happy with Bulgari kiss from Brazil
I'll always be a Bvlgari girl at heart too!! 🥰 Their service & quality are just superb!! 😍❤️🐍 Xx
Well… I admit I am not super rich to be able to get exactly bag I want from Chanel, they also answer me “sorry, we don’t have it”😂 season bag - no problem. Buy classics really difficult to get. So I turned to preloved market and chose what exactly I want. I am going to review Chanel 2.55 in satin on my channel soon, I got it a few days ago😍
Ohh I can't wait, lovely!! 😍 Let me know when the video is online & I'll definitely watch it!! 😍😍😍 Xx
@@RominaRoseMay ok!😍
😳🤯 increasing prices and adding hurdles while decreasing the quality. That’s insane!!
Right?! Let's see how it plays out haha!! Xx
Chanel always proud of soaring record sales..but compare with the hike of price..that mean chanel didn't improve..and maybe less handbag sold..chanel bag didn't last for long and many issues with the customer service
Exactly!! 🤔❤️ Xx
I always be careful with Chanel handbag. I bought my wife 4 chanel handbag ..thar also after 10 years. Chanel price now unbearable..compare with hermes birking..quality still far away...but now Chanel didn't bother..they use artist for marketing and just for fashion...look like the new creative director also just prefer a showoff fashion catwalk instead of really care of quality products..some of their accessories also look so cheaply made..not all Chanel item really worth the money...just be careful and really careful...as the Customer service in Chanel didn't even bother when u made complain afterwards...
LOL happy I started my Chanel collection and bought my black classic flap years ago. This is ridiculous
People only play those games because the influencers act as if normal people need them, which lets face it. No one does
As an adult ,i do not like to play games when it comes to being a consumer,besides all chanel bags STILL look the same nothing special even the tweed!! only EVER seen them on old lady's 😑😒 with ugly insides to match 😬
True haha!! 🙃❤️ Xx
😁😊😘
@@RominaRoseMay and omg your dress 😍 you're style is always so gorgeous and impeccable 😍💕 everything about you is so lovely!!! Have a good day 😘💋
@@thisnative..american3490 Thank you so much, lovely!! 😘❤️ Xx
How weird must be different countries. I’m in the US. I don’t even have an SA. We are pretty well stocked. I waited 2 weeks fir a medium classic flap and it was perfect now I do shop through neiman Marcus. They are wonderful. I went to Troy Michigan she had 4 classic flaps in various sizes. She even had the rose gold hardware. It was stunning. 2 classic flaps a year sounds normal to me. A bit upsetting to see those letters falling off tho. She should just take it back it was probably a lemon. Not everything is perfect ladies and gents not even for eight grand. Lol
These new rules will come into effect soon but it might be different for different regions!! 🤔❤️ I agree on everything else haha!! 🤭❤️ Xx
I only shop with Hermès and the customer service is very good. I wouldn't go near Chanel as I have heard that there are so many quality issues.
Hey lovely, I know might not be the case but what make me so sad is that the majority of the people still buy this, I’m an Hermes lover and I can’t stand the poor quality on Chanel, I’m a luxury costumer since always so I’m very under the radar, I don’t like logos but respect who likes it, which I don’t respect are people that support this brands that doesn’t delivery quality, experience and respect for us.
LV price is already ridiculous for me so I'm glad I'm not into Chanel and certainly I'm not an Hermes fan. Thank goodness bec imagine dreaming to have a bag that cost a leg.. and then quality issues?!. I'm just a housewife lucky enough to carry some LV and a Gucci I'm happy as a clam. I love watching diff bag reviews but I'm not a collector and I know I can't afford more than what I got right now. I even need to let go of 3 LV bec I wasn't really using them. But man Chanel is going crazy , it's ok I think if the quality is on par bec there's so many Chanel fans out there.
Luckily there are so many other wonderful brands out there!! 🤗❤️ Xx
So the quota solely applied to Classic flap ? Not the chanel 19 , Boy bag , trendy cc ???
To all classics like I mentioned in the beginning!! Xx
My tinfoil hat is on! What if the garbage quality is to put off those who don’t have money to waste on bad quality, and then when they get their target clientele they will boost up quality but at an extortionate price increase?
I feel the price increases, quotas, and bad quality are their tactics to get certain clients to buy and decrease how many bags are out in the wild.
