Ok but to be fair - a Chanel bag is also a status symbol and sign of wealth for most. Some buy luxury bags for the artisanal quality and some buy for status and probably many a mix of the two. Yes there is no Chanel “game” to play but they’ve got that CC logo on a lot of merch for a reason.
Hermes is a horse stable and makes bags to go to the jumpy-competitions and horse-charms for the kids that now the journey-ladies wear out to Nobu. Hermes also have colonizer style with prints and designs reminiscent of the troops invading Africa and glamourizing that era, but people rather like to talk about Coco and the Nazis. i do own some Hermes but i have it more for the practicality than fashion. for fashion and style i go to Chanel.
It's possible to like both. I am primarily a Chanel lover. It's a rare Chanel bag I don't love - never a fan of the Boy, but otherwise covert all the classics and most of the seasonal. I love the clothes too. With Hermes, I love some of the bags but many leave me cold, but I do admire the quality, especially recently when Chanel has begun to have issues in that department, and their silks are the best. My philosophy is enjoy what you like from the brand and move on.
My bag story..I started buying coach then switch to lv.ditched my coach bag.then bought Chanel bags.I stopped using my Lv because of chanel then bought a lady dior bag..started buying hermes bags and thats it. I got more hermes bags now.no chanel,no dior,only 2 LV and mostly hermes.my fave brand is hermes because of the craftsmanship and the quality.simple but elegant.i like chanel but the quilting is not that pretty when its flat already.not a fan,i only like it when its puffy.but I enjoyed using my chanel bags for over 10years.once u started using hermes bags,its hard to go back to other brand.thats just my experience
I continue to fall head over heels in love with Chanel items (bags, RTW, shoes). I think the Hermès Kelley is very nice. But there is no contest between “very nice” and heart pounding LOVE.
I like both Chanel & Hermes but they are two completely different fashion personalities. The CC turn lock is iconic the chains and hardware feel almost jewellery like it’s classy and elegant but most bags do have logos. Whereas with the birkin it’s a plain Jane it’s understated it’s casual. Tbh outside of social media and the internet most people do not even know what a birkin or Kelly is. Whereas due to chanel’s more accessible makeup and perfumes which are sold in department stores and drugstores in Europe the CC is more recognisable. I think in a year the Hermes hype will die down and people will move onto something else. Remember the Gucci hype and balenciaga, all out of fashion with influencers now.
I am a Chanel lover through and through. Chanel is the brand I fell in love with and I love the whole philosophy. I love their products, not only bags. In fact, I have stopped buying bags and would rather focus on their ready to wear nowadays (vintage or new). But I can also appreciate the birkin or kelly. I think they are very classic in terms of style, especially the kelly. It really reminds me of the bags that ladies used to carry in the 50s and 60s. And I love the fact that these bags are made to last. I try not to focus myself on this whole 'hermes journey' thing that has been insane all over social media. I admire people like Jane Birkin who just wear their bags and not fuss so much. People who wear their birkins or kelly as a bag not as a social status. Thanks for sharing, Dacob. I love TheCCSpy, she has one of the best styles in terms of Chanel. She is the epitome of a classy Chanel girl.
I prefer Chanel over Hermes. Though I have the Birkin and Kelly that I got prelove because i don’t believe in their “journey”. But those are the only 2 while I have a bunch of Chanel’s. Ranging from Classics, seasonals and vintage.
Dacob, I am totally on board with you about someone being disrespectful in telling you that you are wearing Chanel to show off. When you said we have no more conversation, that is exactly what I did with my sister who told me that; I was floored, considering this was someone who worked for Dior. Like Laura, I wear Chanel in my later years because I am passionate about the brand; I wear Chanel for me. Laura is so beautiful; Thank You for sharing.
Absolutely Fabulous video Dacob! Love your conversations with @TheCCSpy- always interesting, thought provoking, enjoyable and informative! My Favorite channel💖 (a longtime subbie and member)
I really only love hermes because I grew up with horses so hermes always reminds me of my childhood a bit with their copious amount of equestrian aesthetics used in all their pieces but even then I still have to always look a little harder to find something I like because I just don’t think hermes cares much for the teen-early 20s age range so their designs often read a little 55 year old art teacher with a rich husband
There’s room for both in this world. I feel that the Chanel classic bag or reissue are more elegant. Hermes is casual. Even the Kelly is still a day bag. Hermes has kept their craftsmanship, whereas Chanel is mass produced except for some bags.
I love the pics of Jane Birkin’s Birkin. With all the charms and all the stuff inside and the wear and tear. That’s the look I would strive for if I wanted a Birkin. I just hate seeing people’s closets with the Birkin rainbow that look like they don’t even get used. Have you seen Heart Evangelista’s Hermès collection? She paints on some of them.
This is the purpose of a bag and the beauty of a leather bag, worn, with wrinkles and marks, something made for life and a lifetime. I am totally fed up with these ladies and gents who keep the B's and the Ks in safes... This is just showing off and investment....
I actually love Hermes before I even knew what it was. As a teenager I had a look a like birkin I didn’t even know about the birkin back then but I loved the style so much. Same goes with the watch with the lock 🔒 I had a guess one also as a teenager in the same style and I actually just recently found out it is a style that Hermes has had for ages. And the same for a necklace that I randomly bought a couple of years ago just because I thought it was so beautiful. And yupp I find out years later it is something Hermes has sold for years! So for the day I can finally afford a real birkin! I will know 100% I love that style of bag I just really do!!!
Dacob!! I've been loving your channel and everything you say about Hermes!! This whole hermes journey business is a social media creation. we used to buy a birkin without fanfare pre-instagram and pre-RU-vid. This social media hype will eventually kill their business model!
You are on a roll. A wonderful informative discussion. Always Chanel for me. And thank you for talking about Chanel silver I have a pair of earrings that I just love.
@@SuperDacob speaking of Chanel silver jewellery, I have a Chanel brushed 925 silver pair of earrings with a tulip on the end. They’re exquisite and I was so lucky to find them.
I think it is a marketing ploy by Hermès to say to a tourist who is in Paris on Monday that they only have the Herbag.. and so the tourist buys the Herbag on Monday. All week she tries to get another appointment on Friday she gets an appointment and is offered her Berkin. Nice job Hermès!!! you sold a bag that’s not even special to a sucker.
I have been an avid fan of Louis Vuitton for years until their quality went down. I have my Chanel collection and love the seasonal bags until I had some quality issues, too. I had to return a handbag I really love coz the stitching came off a week after I bought it. My husband doesn’t want it repaired. He told me for the price I bought it, it should not have ANY issues at all. Then My daughter even asked me when we went to a Chanel boutique weeks ago, “Why is the bag flap tilted to one side?” That was funny that she noticed it, too. I started my Hermes “journey” years ago and re started my love for the brand after the quality issues I encountered with LV and Chanel. The Hermes quality is excellent and incomparable. I compared all my LV, Chanel and Hermes SLGs and the LV looked like it was a cheap knockoff 😂🤣 sad….I love all luxury brands but Hermes reigns supreme in quality.
Aww no i want royal blue Chanel in velvet. Ah thats the most beautiful color. 😍 So just lets say Her mes its not and it will not be my mess 😝 I am Chanel lover 😎 For some years until this year, i wore only Chanel. I do like to mix seasons, years, decades, to make it more different style, but Chanel Chanel al, the way. I do not understand why ppl think that Hermes is some kind of wealth / status achievement. Now what i would consider, some wealth , if one purchase Princess Kelly’s Kelly😝, not just any Kelly . That journey sounds crazy to me. I am very straightforward, i cant bent , kiss a… , just to get something…. So i will not play these games.I do not think Birkins is my kind of bag., To me , too masculine. I love Chanel , because of that elegance, mystery , with some fairy tale themes. Oh i live for those. 🔥 Now i think Kelly is elegant, and i could see getting one, but only mini, maybe 20 in true red color , but only something very rare and unique, definitely vintage. I believe its ok for ppl to express their opinions, as long as they are not attacking/insulting , the host . Yes we should be less judgmental, but not always comes out that way, after all , we are all humans, so we do make mistakes. Sometimes some phrases trigger us….😳😂 Have a blessed day, Dacob 🙏💕
Dacob I see you as a real human being, not a social media figure. Your personality I feel is familiar and I feel comfortable with you. Please don’t throw me off your platform. It’s very interesting and I learn things I never know about Chanel and how we don’t have to play the journey to get what we want and with Chanel we can obtain what they have in stock. I think I will spend my money at Chanel now, because Hermès makes me feel the unknown whereas Chanel is more transparent. Dacob I think your so funny, wish we could hang out 😀
Hey girl, get me like, a black crock birkin, gold hardware, I'm not sure about the size, but I'm thinking a larger one ? When do you think I can come by and look at some?
I don’t Feel anything for Hermès. Don’t get hype about Birkin or Kelly. Their leather yes it’s amazing though. Both totally different style of bags. But yeah I see a lot of people get Chanel and then move to Hermès as if It is a normal process…. 😆 / her looks are soooo Chanel 😍 love
Dacob, please, make video about social luxury comments. Laura is right. I laso often heard that among luxury brands LV is for poor ppl. I love with all my heart, and it hurts me. I love Chanel esthetic and also read and heard that Chanel is for ppl who wants only show off. And all of this I heard in luxury community! Ohh. Thank you for such conversation videos♡
@@SuperDacob Yes, their service is great. I can't say that I love every single bag they make, but their aesthetics are closer to me, especially classic styles like Lady Dior. I do find some Chanel bags attractive too, but unfortunately, we don't have boutique in our area and I can't order online....
@@SuperDacob Right! I only have a couple of "basic " ones in lambskin , but I would like to add another, probably from their limited collection in fun print or different texture.
Love your conversations ♡ what do you think may be someday Chanel could do the same with some bag model and decide to sell it to someone who has a big purchase history or another conclusion of selectivity?^^
they are already doing it. In some countries, SAs are asking clients to purchase rtw before they can get offered a coveted bag of the season :D It is just that in Europe and USA, maybe the demand is not as crazy as in Asia, so the coveted bags seem more attainable.
You're so rude to everyone who disagrees with your opinion yet make videos sharing your opinions on what other influencers are saying/doing. Not everyone is going to agree with you and a lot of these comments are very valid points of views. Your point of view isn't the only one that's right.
You obviously disagree with me... and have I been rude to you? No, I have not. So your theory about me being rude to EVERYONE who disagrees with me just crumbled since it is not true. Keep it polite and we can have a polite conversation, always. Behave in an ignorant and rude manner and you shall receive the same energy back. Have a wonderful day dear. xoxo
@@SuperDacob You were rude to the people who disagreed with you in this video. They weren’t rude or ignorant towards you, just sharing their opinions like you do all the time. But okay.
