The first couple days back at work from a holiday weekend are always rough, but today, we have something that may soothe your soul just a little bit: Chanel‘s new Metiers d’Art Paris in Rome 2017 bags hit stores today, and we have the collection’s lookbook, which includes nearly four dozen bag and US pricing info for all but a couple. (Okay, so the prices probably won’t make this week any easier, but the pictures will.)
As with all of Chanel’s Metiers d’Art collections, this one is themed around the place where the debut show was held. In this case, that means that some of the bags are theoretically supposed to have a bit of an Italian inflection, but more than that, the collection seems to recall a particular era of Italian film. (Except for the Carrara marble-print Bottle Clutch, though. That’s just Italian in general.)
The bags are, of course, totally beautiful and many are wonderfully detailed, and in that regard, they really don’t need any explanation. Check out the full set from the lookbook below.
