Savvy Shopper Reveals How to Get a Chanel Mirror for Just £3

A recent online video by content creator CAROLINE | THE THRIFTER, known for her money-saving tips, has revealed a clever method for acquiring a Chanel mirror at a fraction of its retail price. The hack, which has garnered significant attention, involves leveraging complimentary items offered during online purchases from the official Chanel website. According to the video, consumers can purchase the Chanel Miroir Double Facettes mirror for £35. During the checkout process, customers are offered the choice of classic black-and-white packaging and up to two complimentary samples. The creator demonstrated selecting a velvet pouch, a gift box, and sample-sized versions of Chanel's Sublimage Gel-to-Oil Cleanser and Gentle Biphase Eye Makeup Remover. CAROLINE | THE THRIFTER then illustrates how these complimentary items, including the packaging and samples, can be resold on platforms such as eBay and Vinted. She presented examples of similar items selling for a combined total that significantly offsets the initial £35 purchase. Her calculations suggest that by reselling these accompanying items, the net cost of the Chanel mirror can be reduced to approximately £3, effectively allowing buyers to obtain a luxury item at an exceptionally low price.
