Wonderful video…..so great that you were able to get the medallion bag, as a designer myself many of my clients have purchased one as well and feel it is one of the best bags Chanel has ever made☺
I love the Chanel bag. The zipper pull is very beautiful. Just a little piece to make it look beautiful. The bag absolutely looks beautiful. I would so be using the slip pocket for what ever that can fit. Lol... You red Chanel pouch is beautiful as well. Have a wonderful day.
I think your bag will be perfect once you clean those couple of spots! Yes, I’m going to copy you, the Cambon might be next in my list of vintage bags! I love so many styles that aren’t flaps, but I need a flap in my collection, classic or not!
Another fantastic bag, I have never seen that bag, the medallions is really neat. I clean my own vintage bags best I can do is clean, condition and edge paint. Great bag!
Thank you! This is one of Chanel’s most popular styles even though it’s retired. I feel pretty confident doing minor things to my bags, like cleaning and general maintenance. I would leave big repairs to the experts though!
I NEED THIS BAG! I would say your bag is pretty close to Excellent condition. It holds so much! I have a request, I would love to see how and where you store your bags. I love the beigh color of this bag too! Great video/ review HO!!! haha
I thought I showed my closet? I can do a video showing more detail. There’s not much to it other than finding space! Yes, you need one of these! I really love it!
I nearly spit out my soda when you remarked, "Not like my Cassie". ;-) Just a really great review Dawn. :-) I see you area getting close to 1,000! :-) You go!! Just a beautiful bag!! How unbelievably sweet of you to ask about the ABBA !! My son LOVES them. We have a group here called "let me be Frank" It is a guy named Frank's singing theater group out of Green Bay, although, they did recently do a stint in Vegas, anyway, he does musicals based on other musicals, for example this year they are doing Menoma Mia-Here we go again. You guessed it lots of ABBA songs in it. So, I won tickets to go and my son is thrilled. I would love to have you do a Q&A!! My son wanted to know if they are all still friends and do they still sing together?
Jame!!! ABBA has a new album that dropped in November! I will absolutely have your son’s question answered, my friend can go into detail! Ugh, this bag at 15 or so years old looks better then my Cassie in day 1! 😆
Hi! Love that Chanel tote. Made just they way they should be made. Unfortunately, one extra pocket or zipper today increases the price by $2000 Lol. Where exactly does the glue residue come from? I always wonder when people review bags and mention glue residue...if it's all sewn, what are they using glue for? Is it just for reinforcement? Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Cami! The glue is often used to reinforce stitches when the sewing thread is at the end to make sure it doesn’t come loose. It can also be used to join parts of leather. The residue in mine could be from either since it’s around the CC. I hope this helps someone!
@@dawnlovescouture2644 Thank you. I kind of thought it was for reinforcement but I still think bags of this level should not have glue. When I browse Fashionphile, I see that in a lot of their descriptions, so I was like...glue?
Hi Dawn! I know you are busy having a wonderful visit with your friends from Poland, but when you have a chance, and if you don't mind, can you share with me the inspiration of Keith Haring's Mickey Mouse artwork with the UFO that is currently featured on the Coach bags and accessories? Asking becuase I've been unable to find the answer online, and I thought you might be the person who knows with your love of art. What are your thoughts about this particuar image? Thanks! --Ivy
That’s a good question! I saw a painting with the UFO when I went to the Keith Haring exhibit, but not with Mickey Mouse! I will try to research it and let you know if I find out anything.
@@dawnlovescouture2644 yes 👍 unfortunately here air conditioning is not the norm ! barely any houses have them. Usually we care about winter ❄️ and heating 😅. I bought a fan last week and i remember the SA told me there was only 3 left. No more. All sold out.
@@AshetLux Oh no! Yes, you have long winters. We have cold winters and hot summers, but lately just two seasons instead of four. I’m glad you got a fan and I hope you stay cool!
I love this bag. Definitely been on the hunt for one under 2000 in really good condition. Yours is perfect!! How does it fit on your shoulder? Does it sit right under your armpit or is there a little room?
It’s right under my armpit. There’s very little room. I think if you carry it on your shoulder, you will strain the straps. There are a few on Fashionphile now for around $1795 that look pretty good.
That is very cool about ABBA.
Yes! I will put up a community post. Feel free to ask questions!
Best color, best size, and a classic, Dawn. Hope you will enjoy the medallion bag for years. Greetings dear Dawn
Thank you! I hope so, too! I’m really happy to have it and I do hope I will be around to use it!
Very pretty! Thanks for the tips.
I hope they help even if you are interested in another preloved bag.
I adore that bag! It is so pretty and classic. The medallion is just perfect. Enjoy your visit with your friends!! Kisses to Tiger xx
Thanks, Sheryl! I am going to add at least two more vintage Chanel bags eventually, as long as I can find good deals.
Wonderful video…..so great that you were able to get the medallion bag, as a designer myself many of my clients have purchased one as well and feel it is one of the best bags Chanel has ever made☺
I love this bag, it’s been a favorite of mine for many years. It’s so well made and looks very classic. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so!
You really scored with this purchase, that's the best thing about preloved. So many gems to hunt down💕💕💕
Yes indeed! Prices on so many are still good, too. It’s worth it to see what’s available.
The medallion tote bags are one of my favorite Chanel bags
So many people love them still! I always loved it but never thought I would have one.
@@dawnlovescouture2644 yeah,I'm happy for you that you have one 😊

Yes, the pocket is handy since it’s so big. I am lucky that the medallion is shiny and not peeling. This bag also comes in pink, Deleen!
Such a beautiful bag and a really thorough review. Thank you Dawn! 👍
You’re welcome! So many people still love this style that I hoped it would be useful.
I have the Saddle soap but I haven't used it yet. Thanks for the shout out and I am planning to clean up my bag!

Thank you! I hope it’s helpful information. There are lots of great vintage bags around.
Such a classic bag! Great review and helpful video! I’ll be on the lookout for you call for ABBA questions for your friend.
Thank you! Keep an eye out for my community post!
I would love to add anothet vintage Chanel to my collection, but it got quite hard to find good deals in reasonable condition.
It can be, it really depends on the style you are interested in.
Thank you for the great review! I’m on the hunt for this bag and you made it easy!
I’m so glad this was helpful! It’s one of my favorite bags. You will love it!

@@dawnlovescouture2644 You are the sweetest! No rush. I found KH UFO paintings online, but also without Mickey. Intriguing.
@@KindnessMatters_ We’ll get to the bottom of it!
Is the back pocket called a Mona Lisa pocket or is that only on certain bags?
No, the Mona Lisa is the curved pocket. This one is called…a pocket! 😆😘.
Hey Dawn, how are you ? here we are having a heatwave
I have heard! It’s very hot here but we all have air conditioning so inside is cool! I feel sorry for you guys!
