I’d go Classic Flap Medium in a classic color (black, beige). I have collected many of the Chanel bags over the past decade, an am seeing them as investments today. They have all doubled in value, and I can sell them easily today and make a large profit. Picking something trendy won’t and if you ever do want to sell it one day you’ll be happy to know it was worth the money you spent. I have spent a lot of money on designer shoes too and regretted it as they never last as long as they should no matter the brand, and you can’t really sell them. Dior bags are beautiful, but also don’t retain value as well. Just sharing some long term perspective 😃

PwC1, good point regarding resell but the OP is buying at the new price range level so unless there will be another major price hike the OP won't recoup the $$ (see prices on Fashionphile, especially in classic colors) much less make a killing like we can with our pre-hike purchases.

B.
Will resell for a lot more down the road even used.

I would go with a, c or other ideas: jewelry (Chanel costume jewelry, Cartier, van cleef, etc.) or shoes!

A!!

I would go with a classic Chanel if you don’t already have one or jewelry.

And if it’s jewelry, you can never go wrong with Cartier or Van Cleef which also retain value.

Update: went with B! Pink 💕🎀👛

Beautiful!

I feel like I've been lowballed, can someone explain the below breakdown please?

Base salary: 60k
Quarterly quota (per quarter): 107k
Quarterly bonus (per annum): 23k
130% Annual bonus = 11.5k
"23% commission on quota minus base": 37k (don't understand this)
"Proposed 23% commission on 150% quota minus base": 86.5k
Sales commission threshold per month: 22k
OTE: 122k
Cost/Sales: 28%

That base salary is lower than my previous base by a significant amount by 32.7%

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
