I heard once from people, they said buying Chanel classic flap bag as soon as possible (read: when the price is still as lowest as possible) is such an investment. I was like 'what? R u kidding me?'

Well, apparently it's true! There is even an article for it.

I went to Singapore last year, saw a blue greyish Chanel Classic Bag in Jumbo size, asked for the price and I think I remembered the shopkeeper said SGD5000 something.

That time, in my head I could only say 'WTH!' and inside my heart 'I am heart-broken'.
