Chanel loafers thoughts please?

Love these loafers and found them with black logos but they are typically Chanel priced at £1040!

Am I mad to buy them as a present for myself?

Had lots going on lately IVF all sorts of BS and just want to treat myself 😊

What do you think of them?

I don't like them. I generally don't like that style of high fronted loafer. I don't wear trousers and they wouldn't go with most dresses. I'm generally not keen on quilting on shoes and I'm generally not keen on obvious logos - so all in all they do nothing for me.

If you love them , can afford to pay for them outright in cash , don't have debt and have an emergency fund .. why not !

Valhalla17 · 23/04/2023 23:01

They're lovely OP.

Go for it, if you have the money/budget 😀

Sunnydays0101 · 23/04/2023 23:25

If you love them and can afford them, buy them. I like them.

Don't seek permission if you love them and can afford them. Life is horrendously short, and we are all different (I am not a designer person!), so I say go for it!

ToEllewithIt · 24/04/2023 07:25

Have you tried them on? I agree that the front comes up quite high.

In terms of style I think they're a bit of a half-way house and neither an elegant slim loafer nor a fully chunky casual one. I struggle to think of many outfits that they'd work with. That's me though, your style may be different.

Flammkuchen · 24/04/2023 07:29

I like the Tory Burch version

I wouldn’t spend that much on a pair of shoes, but if you can afford it.

Ha! I’d be naked in that case. Good thing I don’t have to ask MN’s permission before I buy anything.

I don’t personally like those particular shoes, @ivfregret - I do wear trousers, but otherwise @NatashaDancing has already expressed my thoughts.

But if you’re happy with your own choice then certainly buy what you want!

Mercurial123 · 24/04/2023 08:41

I don't love them, but if you like them. I don't like the quilted part.

You need to be asking this question on the Chanel chat threat OP!
I bought some Chanel loafers years ago and was aghast at the price then….. but they are worth every penny and although I don’t wear them everyday, they look almost new still.

Hi @ivfregret 👋🏻

If you can afford them, absolutely go for it. It sounds like you've been through a lot recently & these could be a pick-me-up. Personally I like them objectively, I'm a Chanel fan - especially the 1980s stuff - & these are quite late 1980s to me.

Buy them & enjoy them. All the best 🙂

bunnybunnybunnybunny · 24/04/2023 08:47

Adore Chanel, but those are foul.

Hoppinggreen · 24/04/2023 08:47

They aren’t my cuppa but if you love them and can afford them go for it!

Itakecreaminmycoffee · 24/04/2023 08:50

I would love them without the quilted bit but if you love them buy them - I have many pairs of expensive shoes/bags myself so I understand the thrill of buying luxury items. Once you've made your first designer purchase you won't look back!

Could not agree more!

It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, you obviously love them so go for it. It definitely sounds like you deserve to treat yourself. I hope you enjoy wearing them 🙂

Florissante · 24/04/2023 09:17

If you can afford them, go for it! You're the one who is going to be wearing them so others' opinions are irrelevant.

MonumentalLentil · 24/04/2023 09:22

If you want them, yes. I would buy them, however have never been able to justify Chanel shoes as the sizing is always wrong for my awkward feet.

treespouse · 24/04/2023 09:25

Get them!
The quilting is SO Chanel and I think they're gorgeous.
Chanel shoes tend to be quite narrow so fingers crossed you have feet that'll play the game.

WoodenFloorboards · 24/04/2023 09:32

Personally I hate them, but if you love them and can afford them then I'm sure you'll get loads of use out of them.

My3cents1 · 24/04/2023 09:35

What@Florissante said. I don’t understand these types of posts. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

MarciaSaysANumber · 24/04/2023 09:38

How have you found your way to the Style and Beauty board, @My3cents1 ?Grin

It will be because the thread is in Trending.
My3cents1 probably hadn't realised Style & Beauty board is there or that people have different interests to discuss.
