I had to go back and check the theme of Chanel‘s newly released Metiers d’Art 2018 collection several times when I sat down to write about it just now because, frankly, the Chanel collections are starting to run together for me. I suspect that’s true for everyone, and I also suspect it doesn’t matter. This line, which has just hit stores, is centered around designer Karl Lagerfeld’s hometown of Hamburg, Germany, but like every collection from the brand, the real theme is Chanel’s litany of historical codes and icons, fashioned again into scores of gorgeous bags.
The collection’s tones are moody and its fabrics sumptuous; you’ll find several types of fur, as well as exotics like python and lizard in metallic tones that give the whole collection a truly glamorous feel, despite its somewhat industrial inspirations. If you need a reminder of those, though, you can find them in a five-figure evening bag, rendered in great detail to look like a Chanel shipping container. Check out all the bags below.

not impressed this season
Fur is never going to be trendy short or long term. Strange and dated collection.
