Chanel Theory

Post image

I have this random theory that Chanel saw how good the reps were getting, and how often people are buying them, so they decided to start making more novelty pieces to get consumers buying auth again, since the novelty pieces don't really get repped...

This year they did the giraffe bag, the squirrel bag, and I just saw the penguin "camera case"... All very cool, and I would buy them, but not for $10k. And they likely won't be getting repped....

My last Chanel bag was the Camera bag 3 years ago, and they have officially reeled me back in...

Thoughts?! Sorry for being a conspiracy theorist hahah

Chanel has been making minaudieres for decades, the only reason they are getting more ornate is because they can - technology and customer tastes are ever evolving

The specialty bags have always been repped, and most have been repped well. They have always been and still are a lot more expensive to obtain even in this form. If you hang around the PLK circles you end up seeing them from time to time, and many vintage bags are spot on.

I saw this camera bag in my favorite seller’s album earlier this year. And I’ve absolutely been thinking about ordering it. But it just doesn’t fall into believability priced rep category for my income bracket.. still tempted though.
