    Chanel significantly raised their prices on most of their items this spring...your timing to buy in February was perfect.

    The small zipper compartment inside is the tribute to Coco Chanel who had it sewn into her bags so she could store her love letters. It's in all her classic flap bags.

  • @katherineshi2109
    @katherineshi2109 4 года назад +25

    Congrats on your first Chanel purchases!! To be honest my initial reaction when I saw the card holder was oh nooo it’s not caviar/grained. Just be really really careful with it when putting it into your purse (unlike me who throws it in haha). I actually recently got the small classic flap and I have to say, it fits 10x more than my WOC- great quick thinking to change it out :)
    As others have commented, zipper is for secret love letters hehe something worthwhile to mention is to get a purse organizer in your Chanel!! Samorga is a good company to look into. This way you won’t have to worry about your keys or other things scratching the leather. In addition, if your makeup melts or leaks, the purse organizer will protect the leather :) hope this is helpful, and congrats again on your fun purchases!!

      @dinannananna 4 года назад +2

      That is so true about smooth leather. I got a Deadly Ponies wallet in their most luxurious deer nappa leather and it's the most buttery soft leather I have ever ever come across in my life but oh man that first scratch on the wallet also broke my heart. I had to baby it so much that I honestly don't even use it that often now because I went back to my beat up Coach cardholder that can fit in my jacket pocket.

    Thanks for sharing. Do be careful while enjoying your brooch. The stones are glued. Channel costume jewelry is notorious for easily losing stones. Be sure to keep your leather conditioned. I like Saphir products for my luxury leather. I'm in LOVE with Saint Laurant, too. I've bought several bags this year! 😶

    So exciting! You made great purchases! The zipper compartment inside was for CC love letters from Boy. The maroon color was the color of her uniforms at the Orphanage. This was explained to me by the Chanel saleslady. I found it all so interesting. Oh and the back flap was where she kept bills to tip. Had to share. Enjoy!

    First use for the small pocket of the bag that comes to mind, is to put your metro badge. You can beep it without touching the machine trough the bag. It is convenient and lots of women actually scan their bag.

    I bought myself the Classic double flap as a retirement gift for working 40 years. I love my bag but don’t get much use out of it because I don’t work anymore or dine out. So it sits in my closet with the many other designer bags :( . Congrats on your purchase & use it in good health.

    Just discovered your video. I like how you said that you do not drop money like this all the time and you saved like crazy. You didn't come off like you have money to burn and you picked your purchases carefully. Each item you bought will have meaning because it was something you always wanted. I cannot wait to go back to France because I also have a wish list and I am saving like crazy for a shopping trip of a lifetime. Just so you know you will get your VAT back if you visit any country in Europe.

    I also got my first Chanel in Paris about 5 years ago. I went to the Rue Cambon store and was so happy they had a medium classic flap. These are hard to come by and I remember I was debating between the classic and the boy. I ultimately went with the classic as suggested by my SA. I am glad you also decided to do that! Welcome to the luxury handbag world :)

    I actually purchased the small right after the price increases but decided to return it because it was just SO expensive (and I have the WOC) but also I'm 5'2" and I didn't like how high the small sat on my side when wearing it as a crossbody. But it looks amazing on you and so happy you got it!

    Miss Louie, these are the exact three Chanel items I own (a classic silver broach, a classic black card holder and a classic black double flap)! They are the first 3 Chanel purchases I’ve made too! I got my bag in December 2019 in Paris!!! How is that as a coincidence 😆The only difference is that mine is the medium caviar leather with silver hardware 😃 Great minds think alike! Great choices! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do mine. ❤️

All the channels I've seen so far are like "So, here's my 500th Chanel bag. I sometimes take this one to my work and if I'm bored I take any other ones out of my "collection"". Like wtf!
    I'm about to get the Small Classic Handbag. Can't wait to have it with me!! :)

  • @victoriabui6171
    @victoriabui6171 4 года назад

    The most classic of the classics! It was also my first Chanel purchase, and I jumped on it because how rare it is to find. Especially in the states. Congrats on the find, and how special it is being from France! Definitely a piece to pass down. I've only had mine for a little under a year, and I would say be careful with stuffing it. The caviar leather makes it nice and stiff but not indestructible, the interior leather can warp easily.

  • @dchew5552
    @dchew5552 4 года назад

    I also bought the lambskin card holder on my first Chanel purchase, and I ended up returned to the store and exchanged for a caviar leather wallet instead, cause after slotting all my cards into the card holder, and I have very little card and it punctured a hole into the leather. and back then I only willing to spare to get the card holder, ended up using majority of my savings on the wallet. honestly, I would recommend to majority to get the caviar leather as its very durable and scratch free. and till today, after half a year to a year, its still looks great. sadly I was eyeing on the classic flap bag and the price raised, ended up getting a Louis Vuitton speedy bandolier 35 instead. if the price of the classic flap bag didn't kept increasing several times a year, I might consider saving up to get the classic flap bag. at the very beginning I was eyeing on the small flap clutch bag instead as I saw from the web but when I went into the store they don't sells it. and on my second purchase I went to get a Chanel earring, and it turns out heavy and gives me headache and ended up purchasing the classic cc ear studs, but my ears starts to itch and peel and only wears it only when im out instead of wearing it daily, recently I got the speedy bandolier 35, it was extremely disappointing, first day using and it got watermark, and I tried wiping it away with baby wipes as shown on majority of the recommendations but it got worst and the patch spreads. went to exchange and now decide to keep it aside for a few months till the verchetta darkens. after exchanging it, I regret terribly, should've refund it as I wouldn't dare to use the bag as im so afraid of getting water marks stains on it permanently and it keeps scratching my neck. strangely, all my luxury purchase had an awful experience. it have come to a point as an remainder for me not to spend any more of my savings on luxury items. also don't recommend those who barely start being an adult to get all these though, as the price raised rapidly every year, I also got the Louis Vuitton Luxembourg sneaker, and it was painful experience, I always ended up with several blister every once I wore it out. all my luxury purchase was a disappointment, none of it gives me comforts while wearing them. I thought that getting a shoes from luxury would be wonderful, regret not getting the Chanel sneaker instead. its so strange, majority of my purchases I would watch reviews before going to the store and then decide to purchase it, but after trying it out for a week or a few days it became a disappointment.strangest of all, majority seems to have wonderful experience on their Chanel purchases though.
