First off, let me just say – if you’re thinking you can just waltz into a Chanel boutique and demand a custom gown, think again, honey. It ain’t that easy. From what I’ve gathered (and I’ve done some SERIOUS internet sleuthing, lol) it’s more like… a *relationship* kinda thing. You gotta be a Very Important Person, you know? Like, been dropping serious cash at Chanel for years kinda VIP. Or, maybe, have some SERIOUS connections. Think long-standing client status or *maybe* a celebrity.
But, okay, let’s say you *are* one of those lucky ducks. Then, yeah, Chanel does custom clothing. Apparently. It’s all very hush-hush.
Now, outside of the Official Chanel Custom Clothing situation, there’s a whole *other* world out there. And frankly, it’s way more accessible. We’re talking custom Chanel bathroom sets, patches, even people customizing classic flap bags! Like, a website said you could add a name to a bag in select Chanel boutiques. I wonder if that is true.
I saw someone online saying they had a custom Chanel bathroom set made. Which, honestly? Is kinda hilarious. I mean, imagine brushing your teeth surrounded by Chanel logos. Talk about boujee! (Is that how you spell it? Boujee? Eh, whatever.) The website was like “weslayglam” – what in the world is that?
And then there are the custom Chenille patches and lettering stuff. Diamond Chanel Custom Creations, that’s what one page said. Seems like you can get like, Chanel-inspired gifts and apparel. I mean, it’s not *official* Chanel, obviously, but… close enough, right? Sorta?
Honestly, it’s all a bit confusing. There’s the “real” custom Chanel, which is basically unattainable for 99.9% of us (myself included, sob!). Then there’s the *inspired* custom Chanel, which is… well, anyone with a bit of creativity and maybe a heat press can jump on that bandwagon.
