Chanel doesn’t do anything halfway. That’s simply not Karl Largerfeld’s way, and when you’re a brand as powerful and beloved as Chanel, there’s no reason not to do everything you want. For Spring 2017, that meant realizing the collection’s data center theme not just with embroidery and detailing made of wires and cords, but also with plenty of bags that actually light up.
The LED-lit bags in question are the collection’s most interesting innovation and will surely become collectors’ items, even if they’re not the most everyday useable options. The lights appear in large bulbs on Boy Shoulder Bags and in smaller, pattern-changing arrays on both Boy Shoulder Bags and Boy Pouches. As you might guess, the LED bags are very expensive, with prices routinely reaching into the five figures.
If you’re not in the market for a bag that will help you find your house keys in your dark garage, the collection also includes dozens of more conventional bags that are just as beautiful. Check them all out below; this collection is arriving in Chanel boutiques worldwide as we speak.
