Chanel Handbags

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel said, “Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” What is happening in the world of Chanel right now is a new concept Boutique at 125 North Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles. The idea behind this store is different and more innovative than the others, offering a “tightly focused and constantly renewed selection of products, hand chosen from the world of CHANEL and shown in a dynamic environment to offer a new point of view”. This boutique will always be one step ahead, offering an image of what Karl Lagerfeld has up his sleeve for the next season. Chanel continues to reinvent itself and up its game, making it stand in the forefront of luxury designers worldwide. And with the opening of this store comes a line of Chanel items exclusively available at this new boutique. Each item is available at the Robertson Boulevard Chanel boutique and you can call 800-550-0005 for more information.

Chanel Anklet in Gold, $1,325.

As much as I dislike media attention whore Lindsay Lohan, it seems as if her pathetic drunken binges, drug abuse and ankle-fit alcohol detection devices rang in a new trend. That of anklets. Bizarre, but if it gets Chanel to create the eyebrow-raising 2.55 Ankle Bag, there must be something to it. A fad that will pass as quickly as it came.

Claudia Schiffer teamed up with Karl Lagerfeld again for a Chanel photo shoot. The actress abandoned her blonde locks for a 20’s style brunette bobbed hairdo, which was only a wig. She and Karl teamed up again for this photo shoot in NYC. While we do not have photos from the shoot, what you do you think of Claudia’s look? Fierce or a flop?

Holy Flaps, Batman! L.A.-based forum member Regina07 means serious business. She manages to take her obsession for Chanel bags to a whole new level. In just one year’s worth of time, she’s acquired just about every Chanel Flap imaginable, sixty-nine to be precise. And the madness doesn’t stop here!

Obsessive-compulsive or helplessly devoted? You be the judge. Definitely the most exciting Chanel handbag collection I have ever laid my eyes on.

Pictures after the jump...

We recently learned from Chanel that Christy Turlington will be the face for their Spring handbag campaign of the “East-West Bag”, as photographed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld. Christy became famous in the late 80s as a model for Calvin Klein, still pulls off gorgeous looks twenty years later. Very well done, I love it - beautiful woman in a beautiful shoot.

The new Chanel handbags come in two styles with white metal. The available colors include white with black, black with white, burgundy with ivory and brown with ivory. You certainly can not complain about lack of variety. Available around March of this year in Chanel boutiques nationwide.

Assouline was the first luxury brand that used its publications as medium by creating luxury illustrated books dedicated to fashion, photography, art and design. The Assouline Chanel Luxe Edition has been produced exclusively for Assouline and features the signature black quilted Chanel leather on the slipcase with three volumes on the inside. Also, the silver metal Chanel logo is found on the outside. The three books focus on Gabrielle Chanel’s revolutionary style which has affected the fashion world that we know today immensely. The focus of each volume is integral parts of the Chanel brand, including Chanel, Fine Jewelry, and Perfume. This piece is not just a coffee table piece, it is a luxurious mixture of fashion and books which will be a conversation starter and a collectors piece. The Chanel Edition is a luxury edition which can ultimately be seen in the black quilted leather outside, red leather inside, and high price tag. This is a perfect Valentine’s Day gift, birthday gift, holiday gift, etc. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $550.

Chanel 2.55 Reissue Wallets on Chain

More eye candy for fans of Chanel handbags! The dark silver and light silver Chanel 2.55 Reissue wallets on a chain are quite fabulous. At $1,425 they are $25 less than the permanent collection lambskin style and are the perfect day-to-evening accessory. Featuring a mock-Mademoiselle snap closure, they can be worn as a pouchette, cross-body, or just tuck the strap in to use them as a clutch. Inquire at Nordstrom Seattle, phone number (206) 628-1390.

We reported on the Chanel Cruise 2008 Trunk Show in October; revealing the Chanel Ice Cubes Bags. The Ice Cubes bags have caused quite the stir, creating a huge separation between those that love the line and those who do not. The ice cubes are designed with clear vinyl and then placed on top of metallic lambskin leather which gives it the feel of the classic Chanel quilting. Chanel has released an Ice Cubes line, including a 2.55, a shopper, and pouchette (are there any others?). While some think these bags look cheap, it is evident that Kim Kardashian loves the Chanel Ice Cubes 2.55 Bag! She was spotted leaving Prive nightclub with fiance?/boyfriend?/friend? Reggie Bush over the weekend. Kim showed off her stunning curves in a hot turquoise number and paired it with her Chanel bag from the Cruise 2008 collection. On this girl with this outfit, the bag looks stunning.

$1,650 at your local Chanel boutique or call (800) 550-0005 to inquire further.
