What do you guys think of chanels price hike? Do you still think its worth the investment for a classic? I read prices went up roughly 13% during pandemic 😳

Not anymore, might as well save a couple more hundreds to buy Hermès.

I personally have only bought excellent used Chanel classics for this reason

Same. All my Chanel’s are pre-loved. I then take them to the Leather Surgeons for a bag spa treatment. I also find vintage quality a lot better than present day quality.

Chanel focuses too much on keeping up with the trend, production in quantities versus quality of the product. As a result, their price point doesn’t speak for the leather work, the hardware or even the design. I would go for Hermes with that kind of money.

So in March I bought a caviar cardholder in gold hardware as sometime to make me feel better and as an affordable-ish holdover until I could get a bag. Honestly, finally holding it in my hands at home just ruined the magic for me. It was just a regular degular cardholder. Wasn’t impressed by the leather or hardware. Idk, a classic flap was always aspirational for me but now I don’t even want it. Maybe the lambskin will feel more luxe to me? Maybe I’ll go for a vintage 90s bag one day? I returned the cardholder the next day. The only other designer bag I’ve had seriously had my eye on for years the Givenchy Antigona

Maybe one day if I find one where the price is right! This year my taste for luxury goods has kind of dwindled and I’m splurging on laser hair removal and skin treatments hehe

Just FYI they are going to have another price increase in January on classic and boys! It’s not that much compare to last time but it’s going to be up again!

Still worth it, fam. Appreciating. And regardless, Chanel is Chanel (apologies to Hermès, YSL, and the rest).

Appreciating in theory but you’ll be hard pressed to find a buyer who wants to buy at higher price than what you paid since they are not rare like Hermès and have a huge secondhand market

Hello people,

Need some inputs!

When I file my ITR, it is auto-populating the 'income from other sources' by 40k and increasing my tax liability by 10k however form 26as shows no tax liability.

Should I edit the header to Rs. Xx which is below 10k hence tax exempted and stick to info as per 26AS?

Thanks a lot!
