First off, the whole “no one needs to know” thing about hiding your green Chanel wallet inside your purple Chanel Flap bag… I kinda get it. It’s like a little secret luxury you have for yourself. A little *treat* inside a treat, ya know? Because, let’s be real, rocking a Chanel is already pretty extra.
And that “exceptional artisanship” bit? Totally true. You’re not just buying a wallet, you’re buying a *Chanel*. I mean, the leather! The stitching! The way that little CC logo shines… *swoon*. It’s all just… *chef’s kiss*. But it kinda makes you wanna keep it pristine, right? That’s where that “Top 5 Leather Conditioners for Chanel” thing comes in. Gotta keep that lambskin supple, especially if you’re going the Lambskin Quilted Chanel 19 Wallet On Chain WOC route. (WOC – Wallet on Chain, btw, for those not in the know. It’s basically a wallet that’s also a small bag, genius!)
Speaking of WOCs, have you seen the prices on those things?! Sheesh. Used Chanel Wallet on Chain? That’s the way to go, if you ask me. TVB (whatever that is, maybe some cool reseller?) says “luxury for less,” and I’m all about that life. Plus, you can find some real vintage gems.
Okay, but back to the actual wallets. Thinking about that CHANEL 19 ZIPPED COIN PURSE in shiny lambskin… oh my gawd. I *need* one. I mean, do I *need* one? Probably not. But do I *want* one? Absolutely. The black one with the gold, silver, and ruthenium hardware? Ugh, be still my beating heart. And the fact that Chanel has a whole section on “TAKING CARE, REPAIRING, ADJUSTING” speaks volumes. They know their stuff is an investment.
Then you’ve got Vestiaire Collective and The RealReal, slinging pre-loved Chanel wallets like they’re going out of style. And sometimes, you can snag a killer deal. Like, 90% off? Where do I sign?! But, you gotta watch out for fakes, obviously. It’s a jungle out there.
