If you’ve been disappointed in Chanel over the past few season for the brand’s sometimes wacky handbags, take heart: Chanel’s Cruise 2011 handbags contain at least 75% less crazy than we’ve come to expect from Kaiser Karl. Although if you like your bags a little on the wild side, there are still a couple of pieces that should tickle your fancy, including a black patent mesh sack with a detachable Classic Flap Bag on the front. Full pictures, after the jump. For purchasing information, please contact Chanel at (800)550-0005.
i love the pink bag…
My 2.55 is black… ;))

Oh, love the blush patent leather (large pic, or #9) and the awesome black mesh sack (#6).
Bought my first and only Chanel two years ago – maxi classic in the metallic grey lambskin with gunmetal hardwire (and I LOVE it), but as prices continue to rise, quality on the decline (from what I hear), and way too much eccentricity in designs, I won’t be purchasing another.
Hmm the colors this season look just muddy to me and the designs here are either boring, or overly wacky.

Apart from the first bags the others are really classic and something that has yet seen!!
I lvoe them, btw!!

I think I’d really like the blush patent in a clutch, but recent Chanel prices have just been insane, IMO.
They seem to be almost four times what they ought to be (even taking into account that they’re a Chanel)?
I’ll have one of each please 😀
if not looking at prices, the meshed bag is kinda ridiculous the rest is ok though
As everyone else has mentioned prices are definitely insane (high quality lambskin is about $7.99 as square foot) You do the math. 🙂
i thought generally 11 cruise for chanel was awesome
great post

as crazy as it may seem, i am in love with the patchwork bag… and the mesh bag is something to talk about…
I love #7.
That first bag is bad. If it didn’t have the logo, I would think that it was a cheap bag sold by a street vendor.
I would love to have bag #10, but the rest are just okay. The colors are a little dull for a resort collection.
I have officially given up trying to save up for a Chanel. The prices have gone up too much so it will just forever be on my dream list right under Hermes. Now, I’ll just save up for #3 on my list-Marc Jacobs Stam.
hmmm… I am not a fan.
The colors are a bit dull. And #1 and #2 just look terrible.
The only bag that I find interesting is #6 – I would have to see and touch it though, to make up my mind.
I love #7 (though not the color) Does anyone know the name of this one?
I love this!!
All of them are beautiful!!!

I am loving bag 1, I would probably carry bag 2 because I love items that are conversation starters & I guarantee you that people are going to wonder where the heck that bag came from. 🙂 The classic look is fine but sometimes a little fun is in order.
hmm, looks old to me..
Wow, the majority of these are classic and what I like from Chanel! The patchwork one is horrible though.

Like the black mesh bag (ipad)
Love Love the nude patent flap!! Gorgeous!! (ipad)
omg, that first bag is just stunning!!!!!!
(ipad)
Yum YUM Yum… oh, what is there more to say? (ipad)
I can’t even get my head around the mesh-looking bad and the patchwork one. But some of them are really beautiful, especially the patent as others have said! (ipad)
this patent chanel is beautiful! i want one.. some day. 🙂 (ipad)
all these beautiful chanel bags … must stop drooling (ipad)
I love the nude patent one! (ipad)
The first beige patent classic flap doesn’t disappoint! (ipad)
Love the colour of the first bag but Marc Jacobs is very fast in introducing the same. Saw their new collection in Singapore and it’s the same colour.(ipad)
Loveee the color in the first Chanel! (ipad)
Best bags everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ipad)
Way too expensive! But so pretty! ♥
Droooollllllllll!!!! but knowing the quality has gone downhill, i would think twice to buy chanel nowadys that price has gone up as well…(ipad)
I typically love any bag Chanel releases, but you can never go wrong with a classic (iPad)
I’ve moved on from Chanel to Balenciaga. The quality has gone downhill significantly since pre-2007 bags and I’m sick of the absurd price increases. (ipad)
I like #9. (ipad)
Indeed less crazy this time. Lots of neutral colors! The red flap is gorgeous, and it’s whispering my name!(ipad)
Nothing like the classics, but I am attracted to the black mesh. Two bags in one is very practical. (ipad)
I wish I had gotten a Chanel years ago, I just don’t think it’s worth the money anymore (ipad)
Oddly enough, I’m really liking numbers 2 and 6 for their whimsy.

Chanel can do no wrong. Everything is gorgeous.(iPad)
that mesh bag with the detachable flap is crazy! i’m drooling over everything else though. (ipad)

i understand that classics are classic for a reason but i am getting tired of these bags. ipad
Love all the quilted leather ones..hate it when Chanel gets all crazy trying patchwork-n-stuff. (ipad)
I like this bag. It still has a little of the classic quilt. People stylewatch has one of these feature a version with Kim Kardashian from this month. http://bit.ly/gkWA7y
