Competition: Huge competition exists in this category. Their main competitors are Louis Vuitton, Dior, Prada, Gucci, Versace, Hermès and H&M. There is a very little scope for market growth in this segment being a niche category.

Copying: There are many brands that copy the style and elegance of Chanel and the luxury brands and sell the copied product at much cheaper and affordable rates. This also results and affects the brand negatively.
