This is such a pretty bag in person. I absolutely LOVE the bronze metallic – a very wearable neutral that would look amazing with just about anything. The size and organization make it perfect for an evening out. And the tiny pushlock is so adorable!

Some people prefer not to buy four $600 dollar bags and buy one $2500 bag. Im from that school of thought too someitmes. Like i prefer to save up and buy something that is a classic rather than waste money on seasonal trends.

i understand what it means, but it’s not like a chanel flap costs a bit more. it costs excessively more. that’s why it’s hardly comparable price-wise.

Extra dosh means extra money. It can be 10 grand or 100 grand or 100 dollars. Thats just the meaning.

shoppa holique, i would hardly call an extra two grand or more “an extra dosh.” okay, maybe only an extra grand if you buy vintage or pre-owned. either way, it’s more like a sock to the stomach. while the aesthetics between the 2.55 and the single are comparable, the price just isn’t even in the same ballpark.

Love it!lovely colour, lovely shape, nice HD and if it is Chanel-y even better…theres some people out there that will never be able to buy a Chanel so instead of buying a fake or a cheap imitation on the high street, if you can get a MJ quality bag (that happens to look like a Chanel) for less then $600..well..what was the arguement?? If only MJ wasnt also behind the latest LV price rise… I hate it! http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article5811973.ece

This bag is indeed similar to the 2.55. But the thing is, I love my 2.55; the size is perfect, the look goes with jeans or evening clothes and I love a structured bag for the ease of finding things in it. That’s why the Chanel is so popular. However. Sometimes one does not want to be carrying a Chanel bag. In some circumstances, especially in today’s economy, carrying an obviously expensive bag can seem a bit gauche (argue this if you like; I’m just speaking from my personal experience). This bag takes the good things about the Chanel bag–the size, the “goes with anything” feel and the structure, and adds the kicky metallic leather and fun colors without the obvious logo which makes the 2.55 so recognizable. Also, sometimes a less expensive bag is more appropriate because of the precariousness of your activity; I never take my expensive bags to Disneyland, for example, but I’d feel comfortable taking this more reasonably priced bag. I like the gold one the best, but now that I think of it, the pink is probably more of a Disney color….

Chanel-y is good, but this bag is way too 2.55 to be just Chanel-y. I’d rather shell out the extra dosh and get the 2.55. this bag is like buying a “legal fake”

it makes me wonder how many bags some of you ladies buy if originality is such an important factor. rarely do i see anything truly original these days and yet that doesn’t necesarily make a handbag any less beautiful…

however, like beth said, chanel-y is good. i personally prefer the single in the bronze. actually, i wish it had been released in the dark grey. the gold and fuchsia is vibrant and fun though. the best part is the price. i’m probably not the only one who would love to find a chanel flap for less than $600. since that’s pretty much near impossible, i think this is a nice, youthful alternative.
