Vintage Chanel

I was excited to see a unique selection of vintage Chanel jewelry and handbags being sold at Harvey Nichols Kuwait. Their selection is by New York-based brand What Goes Around Comes Around (WGACA), the premier destination and purveyors of fine vintage and luxury. This is the kind of stuff I want and always look for when I shop, as in unique not necessarily vintage.  Special pieces that nobody else has. Besides, I think by now I'm sick of the boy bag.

On the subject of vintage, for some reason I was under the impression that vintage clothing is any clothing from a decade ago, or items you buy from a thrift store. Obviously I was misinformed. Vintage clothing is technically any sort of clothing twenty five years old or older. 

Would you splurge on a vintage designer piece or prefer the on-trend in-season pieces?

I wouldn't buy them telling how over priced they are. However I do wear my mom's vintage chanel accessories/handbags which are very similar to the ones shown (but sometimes I have doubts giving how old they are,what do you think?)
I asked my mother about the prices back then and she confirmed that they were not even near these prices, I guess that's good news for our current designers items;)

I am extremely glad that you shed some light on this subject. I would not mind buying the vintage pieces, since as you have mentioned, the rarity of owning a piece that is not mainstream is an investment. I too have become sick of the boy bag. It has caused such a frenzy.

What are your thoughts on the Chanel lego clutch or no.5 bag?

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
