My first Chanel! In love 🖤

I’ve ALWAYS wanted a Chanel. I have a good few authentic bags and replicas. I was on holiday last year and almost paid for a real Chanel but the price just didn’t justify it, I’m so glad I didn’t proceed.

Please bear with me, I haven’t done a proper review before.

Timeline: 26th December: I reached out to Hedi and sent $50 deposit via PayPal friends and family 27 December: asked if I could change it to black instead of beige (she was fine with this!) 4th Jan: received photos to approve to which I accepted that same day. She refunded me my PayPal deposit and then I sent the money via Wise as the rate was better for me and lower fees. 10th Jan: delivered today, was sent via FedEx and the updates throughout are always exciting!

Total cost of the bag: $540 inc shipping The bag is 25cm Caviar Double Flap

I’m not a pro so my review won’t be amazing like some others sorry. But I can say this bag is absolutely beautiful, the stitching is so neat as well. I would have felt silly if I paid for an authentic, especially with how downhill some brands are becoming now. Not to the same standard as they use to be! It just doesn’t reflect the price, not to me anyway.

It all came in the Chanel packaging too which I didn’t expect. I was a little worried with the tilt, apparently authentic Chanel’s don’t have a tilt and should sit upright. But whatever, life moves on. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I will wear this with pride. Again, I’m so sorry this isn’t really thorough, I wish I could be more precise on details for you guys. But overall, I’m really happy and I will be going to Chanel next week, so I can compare! Not ready to take the bag with me just yet. But will definitely be taking photos of their one so I can see if I notice any differences! 🖤

Btw I didn’t receive anything for this review. Just wanted to clarify, would definitely recommend Heidi. This is my first 187 and she’s been lovely to deal with. Let me know if you guys need anything. I wanted to add a little video but not sure how to! Sorry.

Happy New Year! 🥳
