Chanel craze is back! Some walk-ins asked if we carry Chanel. We dont carry Chanel at the moment. I wondered who are the trendsetters in S'pore and why the sudden addiction over Chanel?
Chanel is certainly a very coveted brand that most ladies would want at least a piece or two in their bag inventories. Well for starter, it is an upmarket brand and therefore expensive. An average bag from Chanel cost around $5k, for a pre-loved it is around $3500-$4500. And yes, it is worth it as they are known for their detailed craftsmanship but their brand precedes it. Secondly, the Chanel history is well-known. It started since COCO Chanel time. This lady worked her way up from a singer to a well known designer, creating style for woman in her time. Her designs are classy and make us believe that when we carry one it gives us certain prestige and class, of cos we wish we can rub off some of Coco's personality, perhaps give us a bit of err.. inspiration about life.
I did some research and there are at least 3 online shops that are selling Chanel ( secondhand or otherwise). Hauteave, Lux dream and Prestige Collector. However, a warning or my 2 cents worth is that when buying such an expensive item online, one has to be very careful who they are buying from, the condition of the bag and also if it is worth the risk if they happen to be a high end replica. If the savings are not substantial you may want to consider getting it in the boutique.
I am not advocating anything here, but just to ensure that we know where/how we part our hard earn money.
At the end of the day, you decide.
