I bought a shoddy in the Business Bag for the sheer purpose of bedazzling it. Unfortunately the rhinestones would have a problem of taking unless I completely shaved off the patent polyurethane coating on the fabric. I was curious about replacing the top flap piece with the CC clasp on so I started deconstructing.

One thing led to another and curiosity got the best of me, I took the whole bag apart.

Doing so made me rethink the entire quality of CHANEl as I own several pieces.

I know In the Business is not top tier but here are the pieces for your viewing pleasure.

I am going to replace the cloth pieces with some high quality velvet and stitch it all together and add some beading for fun.

I have this gorgeous CHANEL Chevron Lambskin with Snakeskin Strap and Handle. I am thinking about selling it but I’m not sure how to price this. I’ve seen similar on the Real Real for 3800-4500 but do you think this is overpriced? How would you price this? Also does anyone know where to find information about this particular model? I know CHANEL banned exotic leathers a while back….
