Chanel vs. Forever 21

   The Answer is Finally Here:
    This is one of the many debates in fashion, name brand or non-name brand, products. Today I'm going to be comparing Chanel and Forever 21 quilted bags, by their price quality and durability. Do you prefer expensive and quality or affordable and useful. What side are you on? 


Channel: 
    The House of Chanel was founded in 1909 by Gabrielle Chanel. Starting at just a boutique in France on a ground level shop, selling luxury clothes, shoes, hats, and jewelry to the upper-class woman. Today, Chanel is one of the world's well known brands and classic, and high end brands,  you see them everywhere. From celebrities, business woman, house wives, etc. Just that one logo, two overlapping Cs changes the entire price. As to today Chanel stores are found in a lot of places, including Los Angeles's 3rd Street Promenade, Beverly Hills's Rodeo Dr and New York's 5th Avenue. The bags are all made with fine and real leather, most Chanel bags match with most of your outfits. They are in all year long and are never out of style. The bags have great quality, and are very durable. The downer is the cheapest of a handbag is about $3,500, that's a lot of money. http://www.chanel.com/en_US/

Forever 21:
     Forever 21 was founded in 1984 in Los Angeles California by a Korean couple, Do Wong Chang and his wife Jin Sook Chan. Their goal was to bring the trendy fashion designs seen in Korea, to the Korean community in Los Angeles. Forever 21 today is mostly intended for teenage girls and woman in their early twenties. Personally Forever 21 is one of my favorite stores, they have affordable and quality clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. Today Forever 21 in international, and could be found at almost any mall in the United States. Forever 21 is a lot of girls fashion destination, with on trend styles and many varieties. One bag I recently found at Forever 21 was a black quilted cross body bag, similar to Chanel's but at the price of $35. It was faux leather but still very nice quality, and light weight. Also the bag is perfect for every season.  http://www.forever21.com/Product/Main.aspx?br=f21

Personal Opinion:
    If you ask for my personal opinion, I would choose the forever 21 bag. According the points given Forever 21 is definitely a must, the price is affordable and has good quality. I'm always looking for a good deal. As to the Chanel bag it has great quality and will at me a life time, but I would how to be really careful with one of those, and I'm pretty clumsy at times. Right know I really don't need a bag this expensive, and by the time I do, I would you able to invest more on the new bag. Although I have my mind set on the Forever 21 bags, I would like to know your opinion.
