Apparently Chanel bags used to have real 24k gold plated hardware and excellent quality, everything perfect, so if you get one from the 90s it’s going to be fantastic, vs. now the prices have increased to a laughable level and the quality is inconsistent. Stitching can be wonky, zippers crooked, things break, pearls fall off, and the hardware is just gold-tone metal. Buying vintage is a much better idea than new.
