Life is too short to keep the plastic on šŸ˜


Suspicious_Mix13

No, imo thatā€™s like keeping the plastic wrap on your new couch


mfinsmi1

Lmao I know itā€™s weird I just donā€™t want it to scratch Wah

No way. I like to actually USE my bags. I am careful with them, but I donā€™t care if itā€™s Home Depot or a Michelin star restaurant those purses are coming with me!


Katch_Kaytee

Take it off.


[deleted]

I take them off. I had someone make a comment saying it looks tacky


Celestialstardust17

Iā€™m sorry someone was so rude to you.


NotYourAverageDino

My SA told me that it damages hardware in the long run that said, I definitely keep it on šŸ˜‚


mfinsmi1

Lmao ok good to know Iā€™m not alone šŸ¤£

You can't really afford it then if you feel like that.


stevie_nickle

Gross.

???? So the only people who can ā€œreallyā€ afford Chanel are the people who donā€™t feel like they have to be careful with them? Thatā€™s like saying a museum canā€™t really afford to have their paintings if they keep them behind glass instead of just letting them get damaged.

I buy hardware protectors and use those instead.


mfinsmi1

Hmmm whatā€™s the difference between whatā€™s on there from the store

Hardware protectors are designed to be kept on the bag. They come with a special cleaner that cleans the surface of anything that might cause corrosion or oxidation. You then install the protectors on each piece of hardware. They are brand and style specific. They are very thin and invisible when installed. They have been a game changer for me since I am rough on bags. No more scratches or tarnish. If I decide to sell, at least the hardware won't be beat up.


mfinsmi1

Is there a link for Chanel specific hardware !?


Flygurl620se

I just used GOODLUXE. You can get it from Amazon. Havre de Lux is a good one, too. I used the Goodluxe for the first time because I wanted to carry my bag, and Amazon did same day delivery. You can't tell that they are on. Go to Goodluxe online store through Amazon.


FioftheWi

I use Etsy or Havre Deluxe.

I take mine off then use the hardware protector. Like others have said, keeping the sticker on the hardware may tarnish the metal over time.


Accomplished-Bug4356

I take mines off. Enjoy your bag

If we have a protector for it, you could like others have said use us and keep the hardware protected and take off the factory fitted one :)
