Did you know that the alligator version of a Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag, which is exactly what it sounds like—a wallet you can wear as a purse—costs $22,000? Until yesterday afternoon, I didn’t know that, but now I do and I’m not sure what to do with that information. Now you have it, too.
Besides that, the collection includes a lot of what you’d expect from Chanel accessories: plenty of wallets, clutches and small accessories with quilted in diamond, chevron or camellia patterns, and this season has an emphasis on pinks and blues, in addition to the basic black with which Chanel is so intimately associated.
Because this set of small leather goods is a precursor to the Fall 2018 runway collection (you can see the bags here), these designs tend to be the kind that have a classic look and seasonless longevity, with simple details and colors.
There was just a “75+ Bags From Chanel Pre-Collection Fall 2018 …” article a week ago, literally!
There have to be lots of other bags out there needing some exposure–take a breather with the Chanel! And yes, there are some nice & cute items here but really. And for Pete’s sake–bring back the Forum roundup (or whatever it was called).
I 100% agree about the forum roundup. I really miss it!

Yay! Never-before-seen pics of Chanel goods that look basically just like previously never-before seen Chanel goods! LOL… *deep sigh* You guys, I think I’m getting luxury-bag-and-SLG fatigue! bummer

When Chanel gets it right, they really hit it out of the park. These are all really lovely.

I’ve always wanted a Chanel wallet, but I’m rethinking that since seeing these passport covers. If they have slots in them for cards, I’d prefer one of those as I’d use the actual passport area for cash. I may need to take a trip to the boutique to check it out.
They don’t have many slots to use as a wallet, unfortunately. 🙁

LOVE these!! I really look forward to your postings. They make me smile…..even when I don’t like a bag. It’s awesome and I tell people all the time about you!! Unfortunately, most of these wallets/bags do not allow me to enough room for my prescription sunglasses/eyeglass swap.

The navy is stunning.
