Ahh Chanel. My love affair started probably around 15 years ago but I wasn’t able to get my first Chanel until 8 years ago. Since then, it’s been a long and slow process to gather all the bags I have in my collection so I thought I would share them all with you. I love each and every one of these bags and I really feel so fortunate to call them my own 🙂
As I mention in the video, these are a mix of pre-loved and new from the store. I have always been a fan of buying pre-loved and I think Chanel is pretty much the perfect brand to do so! I go in chronological order from when I acquired them and as mentioned in the video, if you have any questions about any of the bags I own, please let me know. The bags listed in order, are as follows:
- Chanel Mademoiselle Ligne Medium Lambskin Flap in Black with Silver Bijoux Hardware
- Chanel Classic Caviar Jumbo in Black with Gold Hardware
- Chanel Lambskin Medium Flap in Pink with Gold Hardware
- Chanel Classic Caviar M/L Flap in Beige Clair with Gold Hardware
- Chanel Valentine’s Limited Edition Lambskin Flap with Heart Chain in Coral Red
- Chanel Caviar Square Mini in Black with Gold Hardware
- Chanel Lambskin Jumbo in Red with Ruthenium Hardware
- Chanel Caviar Wallet on a Chain (WOC) in Red with Silver Hardware
- Chanel Caviar GST in Black with Gold Hardware
Thank you so much for reading and watching!
Hello
I am also a keen Chanel lover and currently have my eye on a bag on Ebay. Where did you get it authenticated, because I want to be completely sure 🙂
Sincerely Emilie
I've used a couple in the past – if the bag is a bit older then Etinceler Authentications is a great choice. I've also had a good experience with MyPoupette 🙂
Hi Chase, I bought a bag and it is only comes with certificate of Authenticity and the card is not included with the purchased do you think this is enough as proof that my bag is not a fake ? please give advice 🙂
thanks,
Lyn
Hi Lyn, the card doesn't affect whether the bag is authentic or not. It's helpful but cards can easily be faked too. You need to look at many more elements to determine whether the bag is real or not. I suggest if you're unsure that you should use a third party authenticator.
Where do you purchase your pre-loved from? Can you share list of sites? Love your videos .. 🙂
Hi! Thanks for the comment – the one I mentioned here is Vestiaire Collective but I'm planning on doing a video on buying pre-loved soon 🙂
I just bought a pre-loved square mini in caviar but comparing it with my caviar woc, I was surprised to find it's lighter than the woc – both on the chain and bag. I would've thought it would be the opposite. Now I'm a tad paranoid with the authenticity of the mini and am getting it verified.
You know I don't think I've ever compared them! Will have to check this out now. I hope everything works out with your bag!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Bag came back as authentic 🙂
Aw that's fantastic news! Super happy for you!! I know it's such a relief and peace of mind when you finally do get the confirmation 🙂
Dear Amie:
I love watching your youtube channel and Chanel handbag collection. I used Apple cleaner and conditioner on aged calfskin and caviar handbags. Those bags looked new again. But when i applied baby wipes or Apple cleaner on my red iridescent calfskin reissue and the red color comes off on the baby wipes or the cloth. That worries me.
May I have your advices
Thank you very much
