I’m seeing snippets of stuff here. One thing mentions a *ten-year* wait for Chanel’s fancy new watch and jewelry shop in New York. TEN YEARS! Seriously? It must be a REALLY fancy store. Then there’s The RealReal slinging used Chanel bags and clothes. Which, okay, that makes sense. Pre-loved Chanel? Still Chanel, just… less wallet-busting.
But then we get into YouTube channels, MLS policy… Huh? What the heck does that have to do with Coco Chanel? I’m guessing it’s some kind of… like, trick to make a Youtube channel look like it has nothing to do with a brand? So it doesn’t violate some kinda rules? Honestly, I’m a little lost.
And then, outta nowhere, we’re talking about men’s jewelry hitting $75 billion dollars by 2034. Tiffany’s, Cartier, Rolex… again, Chanel *could* be in that mix, but, what is going on. Are they using Chanel iphone cases as some kind of proxy for luxury?
Okay, so here’s my take, based on… well, a lot of confusion. “Unbranded CHANEL” seems to be a weird kinda search term that’s pulling in a whole bunch of different things. Could be people are trying to find dupes, like those “inspired by” perfumes you see at the drugstore. Could be they’re trying to flip stuff on YouTube, avoiding trademark issues (I’m just spitballing here, don’t @ me).
Honestly, it makes me think of how the whole idea of “luxury” is changing. You’ve got people splurging on *vintage* Chanel (thanks, RealReal!), which is kinda cool in an eco-conscious way. And then you’ve got… whatever the heck that YouTube channel thing is. Maybe it’s about making luxury accessible in a kinda roundabout way? I dunno.
