Custom-Made Chanel Look-Alikes

Every girl dreams of having a closet filled with Chanel clothing.  Unfortunately, it is most likely that they cannot even afford to have a few or even one piece of Chanel clothing.  Chanel designs are made to flatter a woman’s body and make her feel sophisticated and elegant.

Lucky for those whom cannot afford to buy a real Chanel piece, many websites are popping up that offer custom-made Chanel knock-offs.  By reproducing Chanel’s designs, these companies are giving women the label they crave without attaching the extreme price tag along with it.

Custom-Couture.com is one such website that offers, “Couture custom clothing for women. Dresses, suits, evening gowns & bridal attire. Chanel & other famous designer fabrics.”  What this site does lack however, is any visual representation of its final products.  Are women willing to gamble with the possibility of getting Chanel for a cheap price with the possibility of using a company that does not hold up to its promise?
My guess is that women will attempt to get their hands on anything that could potentially be mistaken for a genuine Chanel piece.  For this reason, I believe that many more websites offering to recreate Chanel designs will pop up.

Chanel Coat Being Sold on Ebay

Not only are companies attempting to recreate Chanel designs and sell them on the internet, but real Chanel clothing is also being sold through third party vendors like eBay.  The coat above, for instance, is being sold on eBay for $12,435.  This price is anything but economical, yet it is a real Chanel piece being sold from one individual to another through the internet.  With the presence of such third party vendors, individuals must be aware of what they are purchasing and from whom.  It would be a shame to mistake a fake Chanel item for the real thing.
Since Chanel is such a reputable brand with a strong and well-known logo, it is an easy target for scandals.
