Chanel L.A. Bag

Hot from the Chanel Cruise 2008 collection, a range of handbags are making their way to the boutiques. The recent and upcoming price increases for Chanel handbags is exorbitant, but Chanel fans think it is worth it. As the brand continues to evolve, their best selling handbag is their classic and timeless flap bag. A hot bag from their Cruise 2008 collection is the Chanel L.A. Bag which sports the letters LA in red across this tote with chain handle. The bag is loved by many Chanel fans already and will start to pop up in boutiques soon. $1450 through your Chanel boutique or inquire through Nordstrom Seattle.

I love Chanel, but this is not my style. Having been born and raised in New York, I would never wear this bag.

chanelbagsandmore.com hottest online store for designer bags and wallets. Take my word for it.

Please don’t post links to faux bag sites here. it’s disrespectful, and tells me that you’re underestimating our intelligence.

(Comments wont nest below this level)

Personnally, i dnt think Lagerfeld chose the Los Angeles Initials for nothing. LA is a glamourous city full of stars artists, and fashionnistas:D i mean why not? We should be proud of his choice:D and the colors are amazing:)

I think they should make a New York bag also. I love this bag, but like “Vienna” said, us new yorkers can’t be wearing an LA bag. lol

Comment by Anita on 01/16/2008 at 7:57 pm

I like the bag but would never by a bag with big red letters on it. Yuck.

 
Comment by LuLuLV on 01/16/2008 at 8:40 pm

too sluchy for my taste and I don’t care for the LA on it. :sad:

I like the slouchiness, but Chanel chain straps always look thin and uncomfortable, to me and I would never carry a bag that spelled out the name of the brand so blatantly.

I also don’t really see the attraction of having the name of a city emblazoned in huge red letters across one’s bag, either. :?:

 
Comment by foxyqt on 01/17/2008 at 3:16 am

i dont like it either.. i bet celebs are gonna go nuts with this one though

 
Comment by Kaytey on 01/17/2008 at 4:53 pm

For some reason, I think it looks too cheap to be Chanel. Just my opinion, though.

I can not wait for the knock-off! Should be easy to do!

Does anyone know where this bag can be purchased?

 
Comment by merve on 01/22/2008 at 7:56 am

so tacky…really unclassy for chanel…i cant believe its actually real…i would have thought it was a made up knock off.

 
Comment by merve on 01/22/2008 at 7:57 am

then again i bet Paris Hilton already has one..another good reason not to be seen with it. :oops:

 
Comment by MissLoveChanel on 01/29/2008 at 12:38 pm

I live in LA and would not carry this bag. It’s too slouchy and I don’t like the spelled out “CHANEL”. I wish they’d made an “LA bag” that was a bit classier. I would have bought one since I do love LA :grin:
On second thought, though, I MIGHT get it just because I DO live in LA. When will Chanel ever make another LA bag…let me get my car keys……

I tried this on while bag shopping, it’s really large! I am unsure of the shape but the large canvas LA is so CUTE! :eek:

 
Comment by kate on 02/15/2008 at 2:33 pm

:lol: i love chanel…

 
Comment by Tashe on 02/19/2008 at 3:20 pm

:smile:
this bag is absolutely so chic I love it but it is definately not worth a grand or two

 
Comment by Paris on 02/23/2008 at 11:34 pm

First you guys need to know that this is not a real bag and paris hilton is cool not like u so dont worry (Chanel doesnt sell bags online)

 
Comment by MissLoveChanel on 03/16/2008 at 3:28 pm

I went to the Chanel boutique with the intent to purchase this bag. But when I held the bag I really didn’t like it very much- the feel is scratchy and somehow (oh I hate to say it!) feels cheap. It was a bit on the large and slouchy side, but I’m sure I would have gotten over those issues if not for the rough feel of the bag… I like that it says LA but I wish they had made it in leather. I didn’t buy one :neutral:

 
Comment by rhonda on 03/21/2008 at 4:05 pm

I purchased the bag, I love the slouchiness of the bag, it is perfect for a casual chic look, that could also dress up a plain outfit for evening. But then I am a true Chanel fan and just about every bag she makes is a must have, that is if you can afford it.(and I am not from L.A. and it is still a great bag).

 
Comment by n on 03/23/2008 at 2:47 pm

hi :smile: .. does anyone know the measurment for this bag :?: ..i love it :lol:

 
Comment by Cruz on 04/08/2008 at 6:30 pm

Chanel does have a bag like this that is more structured and in leather. It is white with the red LA letters. It is very nice.

 
Comment by cristal canela on 04/15/2008 at 1:25 pm

Comment by sherrie marland on 04/16/2008 at 11:06 am

Comment by Wonder Gal on 04/29/2008 at 10:40 pm

I am been Chanel bags since i was 13 and I have to say this Chanel LA is one of my persoal favs. I love it.. Im not personally from LA but i have been there many times and I love it .. This bag is meant for somebody who really enjoys Los Angeles and I totally do.

 
Comment by Kitty on 05/19/2008 at 11:15 pm

I really love this bag……I have it in both colors and it’s so much fun to wear,I am a true chanel bag girl and if you are this is a must have …..It’s great for shopping because everything can fit in it, I mean and it’s a great price for someone that spends over two thousand for bags{like myself}…..i mean yeah it’s slouchy but it’s also funky,fun & cool wear.
