Casual Outfits Sneakers or combat boots complete the look. Then, for a more feminine look you can wear a neutral cardigan and cute pair of booties. Or, a simple pair of jeans and white tee with a utility jacket could be chic as well. Remember that your Chanel bag doesn't have to be worn only at night.
Carefully stuff your Chanel bag with acid-free tissue paper to support its shape. Avoid imprinting on the leather and store the chain well-padded inside your bag. Ideally, keep your Chanel bag inside its dust bag and original box or store your Chanel bag upright on a shelf, protected by its dust bag.
For classic flaps, store upright, with light interior stuffing and very light stuffing to support the gap in between the interior and exterior flap (for double flaps) For 2.55 reissue flaps and larger tote bags, store on its back.
A great go-to for day-to-day use, the Chanel Medium Classic Flap can again be worn with doubled straps or a single strap depending on how you choose to wear your bag – over the shoulder, crossbody, or swinging from your arm.
Wear classic colours.
I find the simplest and easiest way to nail the classic Chanel look is opting for the clean sophistication of black and white, or navy and white – you can't go wrong! Some other classic colour options are; -White, navy, grey & nude.
Never store your bags in their original box and dust bag
I also do not recommend storing any of the Chanel bags in their original dust bags (vintage or new). The way Chanel bags are designed means that chain marks are and will be a serious problem.
Buff Lambskin Leather
Just rub gently on the affected area, and it will help to reduce the appearance of scratches, dents and wrinkles. I've done it with all of my lambskin Chanel bags and it really does help to keep the leather puffy and shiny.
Shop pre-loved Chanel handbags:
Anything 20 years old or more is officially classed as vintage, so bags made from 2000 onwards tend be tagged as pre-loved instead.
Refrain from hanging your bags — this will distort the shape of the handles. If you have it, store your bag in its original box. Otherwise, line your bags up on a shelf in your closet.
Chanel has consistently increased prices on the most popular handbag styles like the Classic Double Flap Bag and demand has not decreased, making it a sturdy investment with an average increase of 16% year on year.
Chanel bags on the resale market are known to maintain top resale values, and this is unlikely to change. If anything, the burgeoning demand on the secondary market helps Chanel successfully boost prices, as consumers can rest assured that there is a thriving market in place, should they want to resell in the future.
Thankfully, the Chanel hardware is a lot more scratch-resistant. With that said, I do notice some minor scratches, particularly at the top of the turning piece. However, these scratches are lot subtler and won't be noticed unless examined up-close.
There are less than eight stitches per panel.
Each side of a quilted diamond or square is known as a panel. There should be between nine and eleven individual stitches per panel. On an older style, there might be as few as eight; however, only a fake Chanel will have less than this.
A white handbag will go with any color outfit of yours because white as a color goes well with most colors. These are some of the colors and shades that are so versatile that you can buy one handbag of any of the above-mentioned colors and use and flaunt it in various ways.
