Designers come out with new styles all the time; I mean that is what fashion is all about being forward thinking. Maybe even nostalgic, but it seems when it comes to the Chanel 22 bag it is anything but. So, what exactly is the hype about this bag? I will tell you in this mini list below.
It looks like a garbage bag

This might sound a bit harsh, but according to online comments a lot of people have been stressing this statement. Personally, I think it just has a casual dressy feel, without causing any fuss and is ideal for any occasion.
If it is the new "IT BAG" count me out

Apparently, a bag highlighted across social media made a lot of people angry. I personally can’t understand why? I mean it’s a bag not something scary. Even when a bag becomes popular, it doesn’t mean you should disown it for life.
It looks cheap
The Outrageous Price

I can understand the thought behind that. If you compare the quality of designer bags in general, you will see they have significantly gotten worse in quality. It is another reason why vintage seems to be the golden standard. Normally, people will notice the leather being much thinner, the hardware seeming more flimsy.
Mixing retro and modern looks basic

So apparently people were frowning on the idea that this bag looks retro and modern, but mixing this style just isn’t for them. I personally, love the idea of rocking vintage and modern elements together. It gives a fresh perspective to a classic design. |
I have sold and shopped with them myself and I can honestly say they are worth it to consider. When you shop with them, you can get your hands on bags that are in such incredible shape that they don’t even look used. The two on the market that I completely trust are, The Real Real & Fashionphile and they ship internationally.
What is your take on the controversy surrounding the Chanel 22 Bag?

Oh wow! I didn't know this... kind of amusing really how people react on social media. The garbage bag comment is funny, kind of pricey to call it that! :) I like it in the bold colors!

It's a nice bag but I don't think I'd ever buy it.

I think it's a fun bag, but when I invest in something high-end I typically go for a more classic style + shape. I do love the way Chanel is trying something new and fun, though!

New post up here, hope you'll come check it out!
I honestly can't imagine getting into a hissy fit over a bag. A bag. Some people really need to rethink their priorities!
ReplyDeleteI really like this bag. I can´t understand the discussion. If one don´t like it, no one has to buy it. Personally I´m not into this "designer-bag-thing", but I´m absolutely with you in general, when you say, you love the idea of rocking vintage and modern elements together. Same here. Have a wonderful new month, love x S.Mirli

I didn't know about any of this.
ReplyDeleteThis bag looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was any controversy around this bag! Super interesting to know how fans reacted as I'm not a massive designer bag girl myself. Thanks for sharing :)

I'm loving it and think it's great that they are changing it up. My hubby also thinks it looks like a garbage bag.

it's definitely not the bag for me - but I couldn't afford it even if I liked it anyway, haha!
ReplyDeleteHope your day is going well :)

I think it's gorgeous, but I just can't see myself ever spending that much money on a handbag!!
ReplyDeleteIf I was buying a Chanel bag it wouldn't be this one. I don't hate it but I don't love it either. I respect them for having the courage to keep innovating. Thanks for linking
ReplyDeleteVery special, but nt for my wallet I'm afraid!
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting bag but not for me, I prefer more structured bags. Chanel always seems to create a buzz! I agree with you about pre loved and I have heard good things about both Fashionphile and The Real Real xx

Some of my favorite influencers have this bag and I do like it, but I agree I don't like it enough for the price.
