Did Chanel Really Lose It’s Quality?

did-chanel-lost-its-quality-edge-1

With every purchase that I make, I always look forward to what I am actually receiving in return. It could range from a $10 blouse from H&M or a $50,000 Mercedes-Benz. To know the true value of an item is extremely important; not enough people express this quality. It’s saddening to end up with an item whose quality doesn’t match its high price.

The prices at Chanel have been on the rise over the past few years. It hasn’t been a light increase either. Instead of raising just a few dollars or tens of dollars, Chanel prices have increased by the hundreds. These price increases happen bi-annually and sometimes even three times a year. It’s a wonder, how and why they keep doing it.

With the ever increasing prices, what do you expect to receive in return? Does the quality of the increased price bag, surpass that of the bag that was produced two years ago?

I’m not so sure, but the more costly the bags become the more ladies want to purchase and wear them. As a graduation gift, one of my friends received a Chanel bag from her boyfriend. She couldn’t believe it. She was just crying with tears of joy and excitement. That was probably the best gift he could have purchased for her. And I have never seen her cry before; that just goes to show the impression that Chanel has on us.

I’m not sure about others, but when I invest thousands of dollars on a Chanel handbag I expect something in return. I want more than just the “CC” logo on a fine leather bag. If that was all I was after, then I would just purchase an accurate looking fake Chanel for thousands less than the authentic.

Why Purchase Real Chanel?
It’s all about QUALITY. Trust me, Chanel over delivers when it comes to quality.

Chanel handbags are increasing in price because each bag is created individually giving it its own identity. All Chanel consumers should expect ultimate, perfect quality in every aspect of the handbag.

Perfection should be included in the package of purchasing a Chanel handbag even after the production of the bag. Customer service, delivery, and overall customer experience should be flawless. Considering that Chanel handbags costs thousands of dollars, every aspect of the company should be up to par.

However as of late, the quality of Chanel has decreased—a lot. It’s quite saddening because I’m crazy about Chanel. It’s a shame to see one of my favorite brands to be falling off when it comes to handbag quality.

Another friend of mine recently purchased a Chanel Maxi Blue Fonce Flap Bag. When it came in the mail, she discovered that there were a lot of mistakes made in the creation/production of the handbag. It didn’t take long for us to figure it out when we did a side by side comparison to my Chanel bags.

The main differences lie in the “Chanel” and “Paris” label that is attached on the twist-lock plate. Instead of reading in the same direction, they were opposite from one another. And it gets worse; the twist-lock plate was not bilaterally equal.

I suggested that the bag be returned. My friend was a bit apprehensive about returning the bag, because she anticipated having it so much. Maybe it was just a simple mistake made by the Chanel craftsmen. Overall, I hope she gets another one of proper quality.

So tell me, do you have any issues with your Chanel handbags? Any differences in quality? I want to know if anyone has 2012 edition of the Chanel Jumbo Flap Bag. I want to compare it with the 2007 edition. What are your thoughts about Chanel losing their superior quality?

  1. I got my chanel jumbo flap bag with SHW in paris on my trip there in oct. I carried the bag the next day and was upset that there was small fraying of thread at the side. Came back to sg and did my own trimming(very carefully!). The fraying came back again after less than 7 uses and horror of horrors!! I found the single back stitch starts to fray as well!! I sent back to the boutique the next day for repair =( I am so disappointed since it is my first chanel bag :(( My chanel wallet bought together with the bag is ok though and I simply love to touck and smell the leather!! It is really different from other luxury bags I have

    • omg, I am very sad to hear your story. I also have notice that Chanel have become a bit dissapointing when it comes to quality. I also notice that the leather is not the same as usual. I would in fact as the SA to leave the repair and change for a new one, tell them it is your first bag.

      Which other bags do you also own?

      Love Sass…

      p.s. let me know how the repair went

    • Hi, sorry for replying sooo late. I collected my jumbo 3 weeks after I sent it for repair and I have not encountered any problem since. Well, it could be I am really really careful with my bag.So far so good – no fraying or loose stitch seen. I am a Happy Girl!

      The after sale service in my local Chanel boutiques was impeccable!

      Haha, my modest collection of bags -Chanel, Loewe, LV, Gucci, Etienne Aigner, Burberry, Coach, Longchamp, Ralph Lauren, Mulberry and YSL. Strangely, I do not own any Prada….I guess that about it

    • Hi Yvonne, I am just like you. Very careful with my bags. I was very sad to hear that your first Chanel experience was a bit disappointing. So it’s good to hear that your Chanel is oke.

      And I think you are a handbag collector right? Maybe the Prada Saffiano tote next time =)

    • what an awfull experience. I once bought a Chanel WOC and inside where the chainn meet it was a bit lumpsy, my other Chanel WOC halfmoon was very smooth. I brought it back the same day to the chanel and demanded another one.

  2. Yup, quality is an problem with Chanel these times, but girls like us who are addicted to their bags are still buying no matter what. This is the main reason why they keep increasing their prices. What can we do?
