CHANEL HANDBAGS & PURSES

Now that Chanel has permanently added the Cocoon collection to its lineup of bags, they’re finally experimenting with some unique fabrications and color combinations for fall. First up is this Chanel handbags bowling bag: it’s based on the premise of the classic bowler’s shape but fashioned in waxed soft alligator with leather trim and white metal accents.

Yes, it’s beyond expensive ($52,260) but oh-so worth it if you have the funds. The second chanel bags I love from the fall collection is the Chanel Coco Cocoon bag in a petrol blue orylag fur with lambskin and white metal accents ($7,295). It’s clearly more fashion-forward than the first bag I highlighted, but I love it for its unique combination and color.

These chanel purses  have plenty of room for everything, but what I love most are their big, thick handles that give the bags a casual feel to them–perfect for weekends or as, dare I say, the ultimate gym bag.

I always appreciate an interesting design concept when it comes to handbags. And that is precisely what you get from the Chanel Take Away Box Bag, a mixture of culture and whimsical fun with one of the bags from the Chanel Shanghai accessories collection.

Clearly inspired by Chinese take-away boxes, this handbag is made with metallic fabric and finished off with a classic leather and metal chain strap. For Chanel bags, this is a very different look.

I picture it perfectly on Carrie Bradshaw. While this isn’t the exact bag I would purchase, I completely appreciate the design and idea behind it. But after inquiring I found out the chanel handbags is sold out. Price was $7,500

Is it just me, or are the Kardashian sisters walking in some sort of war formation through the airport in a few of these photos? They certainly seem to mean business…

As always, though, they’re looking hot. Even in an airport. How unfair is it to look hot in an airport? I’m one of those people who makes absolutely no effort when I fly – everything I wear is layered and stretchy, and almost always entirely black. Stretchy pants are my best friend on an airplane, and I don’t care what anyone says. It looks like at least Khloe Kardashian agrees with me, although her Louis Vuitton Patent Mahina Bag is super luxe, as are her Chanel Bags.

It looks as though Kim Kardashian has again chosen her favorite Balenciaga City Bag for the trip, and if my eyes aren’t deceiving me, I’d bet that Kourtney Kardashian is carrying a Chanel Classic Flap Bag under her shawl, most likely in a large size.

 

If you’ve had your eye on Chanel handbags, now might be the best time to take the plunge. The industry is buzzing with the news that the French fashion label will increase its prices by a whopping 20% on August 1.

Apparently Chanel handbags is concerned that it’s becoming a “main street” brand like “Louis Vuitton,” when it would much rather have the exclusivity of Hermes.

The brand doesn’t seem concerned about turning off its loyal customers, but after looking at all the price hikes we’ve seen in recent years I would be. Consider the 227 Reissue bag pictured. In 2008 you could pick one up for $2850, while today it’s priced at $3600. If the rumors are correct, in a few short weeks we’ll see the same bag priced at a whopping $4100. A 40% markup in just two years seems pretty outrageous to me!

So will higher prices make Chanel bags more appealing, or will it simply see fans flocking to eBay? I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Rachel Zoe had this Chanel Bags in canvas at the Burberry Beauty launch party yesterday in Beverly Hills. She wore her usual all black but used the bag to make her outfit more fitting of a summer garden setting.

She always has such huge bags, especially for her small frame, but the slouchy soft canvas visually minimized what is really a luggage sized bag. This is not a current season chanel handbags so it is not available but she is known to favor vintage.
