Didn’t you hear? A very specific shade of pink called “honeysuckle” is supposed to be the color of 2011, or so say the fine folks at Pantone. Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld can clearly tell the future and saw this coming, because the perfect pink Chanel Python Timeless Clutch that you see above just came out for Cruise 2011.
Lagerfeld and Chanel usually design and sell whatever they please with little acknowledgement of passing trends, so it surprised me to see this clutch surface in this particular shade of pink at exactly the same time as Pantone made its yearly announcement. But even if pink hadn’t just been dubbed an “it” color, whatever that means, this clutch would still be more or less perfect. I’m not even a great lover of pink, and I have no problem admitting that.
The Timeless Clutch has always been ideally shaped and sized for toting essentials to almost any evening event, and dressing such a pretty clutch in a candy-colored exotic only makes it more fun and desirable. If you have a spring event on your calendar (perhaps a wedding?), this is the clutch you need to be carrying. The Chanel rep I contacted didn’t have a price for this piece yet, although the black python Timeless Clutch retails for $3250. Contact Chanel at 800-550-0005 to inquire.

A python Chanel for under five thousand dollars? I find that surprising. I would prefer to buy this over the patterned Bottega Veneta bag, but unfortunately neither option is realistic right now (student).
I agree that for the money, this is a MUCH better choice than the Bottega.
Eleanor, this option is not realistic not only for a student, but pretty much for the majority of working women worldwide. It seems like for the last couple of years the prices for designer handbags have been spinning out of control. Very similar to the situation in the late 1920s during the Depression.

Exactly, I’m a working women. And I think twice to even consider buying this bag.
OMG the price is Right ! 🙂
The clutch is really amazing and nice…very soft also. I lvoe the femininity fo the last bags of Chanel of which you spoke about but this bag (that I love) is not “very chanel style”.

Epic, I would say. Chanel rocks the boat one more time with a classic design. What other thing can I do aside from sighing…*sigh*

there’s talk abt the scales coming out… so thats one concern to consider before purchasing this clutch.
I thought of the same when I saw this clutch. Not sure if it could easily get dirty as well. (ipad)

so pretty and delicate. looks like a shell pink starfish. (ipad)
i’m in love (ipad)
Beautiful and definitely timeless. I love how feminine and soft the design is. (ipad)
Aesthetically, I love the clutch, but I wonder how practical it would be (disregarding price) design-wise? I’d worry about how it would wear; pink always seems to show signs of wear (not to mention dirt) much earlier than its black counterparts- and because it is such an exact shade of pink, I do think it would limit you to what you could wear it with. Then again, I guess if you could afford it, you’d have something to wear it with…
Saying all this, however, it still is a beautiful bag (made only more beautiful by the fact that it is completely out of my reach!). (ipad)
My mom would definitely like this bag!!! (ipad)
Love the color. Love the design! This is a beautiful bag. (ipad)
I’m not into it too much. (ipad)

Great clutch, but wouldn’t be my 1st choice of material. (ipad)
i love it but i have to say that the honeysuckle color it´s a little darker than the one on this clutch and this color is more like a PEACH BLOOM
