Chanel – Why We Love It And Why We Wish We Could Afford It
Ask any woman to name the top ten things they would like to own, and you can be pretty sure that Chanel purses would be somewhere in that list. The last word in haute couture symbolises something that goes a long way past desire. I’ve seen people stare for literally hours into shops just imagining themselves with the latest one. Part of the reason for this of course is the exorbitant cost. The sheer exclusivity of them is what makes them so desirable. After all, how many people out there can afford one, let alone a different one each season?
Which is probably why most of us would buy replica Chanel handbags instead. It makes sense when you think about it. Even if you could just about afford one, do you really want to save almost all of your money for just that one occurrence, when none of your friends would be able to tell the difference between a replica and the real thing? And of course, we would want to own more than one as you don’t want to be the kind of person who wears the same handbag out to every single social event.
And to be honest, most of us out there couldn’t afford to buy the real one in the first place. We all live in the real world here, and with the credit crunch and recession, buying a replica Chanel would not only be the smart thing to do, it’s almost the more fashionable thing to do.
