A 1995 ‘pre-loved’ Chanel Football is listed for US$4,400 on the designer reseller website Farfetch. It was probably never used for its primary function, which was to serve as a football.
Is this aimed for football fans, luxury fans, or a combination of the two? This item is more of a collectors item for the wealthy, based on its age and price. There are times in history when fashion and football intersect, such as when Balenciaga recently released a few football jerseys as part of their collection.
The big concern is whether someone affluent and eccentric enough to be a Chanel and football enthusiast will be willing to purchase this item. Would they play a couple rounds of football with it? Currently, Versace has a football for sale at RM1,150 in their signature Barocco print, which in comparison is way more reasonable than the used Chanel one.
