Mother Nature decided to send a downpour of rain with a mix of wind and a sprinkling of downright nasty to NYC today. I’ve been stuck inside desperately trying to find a way to boost my spirit and keep me moving while the weather is so drab.

This Chanel bag will bring a smile and an intense sense of yearning to everyone who sets their eyes on it. No matter what it looks like outside my window, the Chanel Classic Flap in Gold Alligator makes everything right in my world today. (more…)

All I have to say is I absolutely adore everything about the Chanel Classic Flap Bag in semi-matte alligator skin from the Paris Shanghai collection.

Sometimes a picture truly is worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to an exotic Chanel bag. And for those asking the price, $28,350.

The fall/winter 2009/2010 collection from Chanel is now available in Chanel boutiques. Channeling the winter months, Chanel brings in heavy materials, tweed, and a splash of color with the perfect green and pink.

The leather shoulder strap on the green and pink tweed bags is a departure from the classic chain strap, yet I find myself wanting to see the tweed bag with a chain strap rather than smooth leather strap (like the last photo below). My pick for Fall/Winter is the Chanel Extra Large Tweed Flap with the chain shoulder strap. The tweed is reminiscent of Chanel classic suits as is the quilted finish and chain strap. There is also the classical flap with interlaced ribbons which continues to bring dimension to the bag while offering a horizontal pattern rather than the expected diagonal. To view the collection visit Chanel online. (more…)

Timeless, classic, elegant, recognizable. All of these words describe the house of Chanel. The Chanel Classic Flap bag has become synonymous and iconic to Chanel. Every woman years to have a Classic Flap in her collection. Some collectors have exorbitant amount of Flap bags. And while the Classic Flap’s beauty speaks for itself, and the style needs no introduction, there are ways that the bag can be dressed up even further.

Bypassing merely being an exotic skin bag, the Chanel Classic Flap in Alligator is embroidered with pearls by La Maison Lesage. This is the ultimate luxury when it comes to the Chanel Classic Flap Bag. There is not much else to say; the timeless style dresses up with pearl embroidery detail on top of luscious alligator skin. This bag is from the Chanel Cruise 2008/2009. Inquire further through Chanel about purchasing this item, 800-550-0005. Price of this beautiful collectors piece is $34,500.

Note: We also broke the story of the Chanel Diamond Forever Classic Bag, which costs a whopping $261,000! (more…)
