Okay, so, I was just browsing online (as you do, when you’re supposed to be working, ahem) and saw a bunch of articles about Chanel bags, and it got me thinking. It’s not just about owning a bag, it’s like… owning a piece of history. Or something. Maybe that’s too dramatic. But still.
Apparently, there’s some new season stuff dropping. I saw something about “香奈儿官方网站的最新精品系列手袋作品” which, okay, my Chinese isn’t exactly top-notch, but I’m pretty sure it’s saying new, fancy Chanel bags are here. The official website, natch. They’re pushing their skincare lines, too?光采净白系列 and all that jazz. Wonder if the bags are actually better than the skincare… hmm.
And get this, some article was saying “不再是小廢包天下！一覽 CHANEL 2025 春” — translate that to “no more tiny, useless bags!” Finally! I’m so over those teeny-tiny bags that can barely fit a lipstick. Give me something I can actually *use*, you know? I need space for my phone, wallet, emergency snacks… the essentials!
Then I saw something about “CHANEL 19” and how Chanel bags are “保值手袋.” Which basically means they’re a good investment. Like, you can actually sell them later and maybe even make money. Whoa. That’s way more responsible than buying, like, shoes or something. (Don’t tell my shoe collection I said that). And the article was talking about price increases in Hong Kong for 2025. Typical. Everything gets more expensive, right?
But here’s the thing: I’ve always wondered, are Chanel bags *really* worth the hype? Like, are they *actually* that much better than other luxury bags? Or is it just the name? I mean, the Classic Flap is iconic, sure. That double C logo… *chef’s kiss*. But are you paying for the craftsmanship or the brand? I’m not totally sure, tbh.
And then there’s the whole “investment” thing. I saw an article saying “Chanel手袋2023｜10大必買保值經典款,” listing the top 10 classic bags to buy in 2023. Which, okay, helpful. But what if my taste is, like, totally different? What if I want a weird, limited-edition thing that nobody else has? Does *that* hold its value? Probably not.
