It is said that the world’s most expensive handbag, or purse, is a unique bag created by Japan jewelry house named Ginza Tanaka, ok, when we talked about the expensive things, we think about the diamond thing, of course there’s some relationship with some diamond, maybe it is made of some big diamonds. Or should I say, over 2000 diamonds totaling 208 carats created this big thing, worth about 1.9 million, but what I really want to show is not a purse from a jewelry house, it is the Chanel’s.
May be you already know this special bag, Chanel Diamond Forever Classic Bag came into our picture which is priced at 261000, only thirteen of thse pricey Chanel bags were with only five available stateside, the alligator-skin bags featured clasps set with 334 diamonds in the shape of Chanel’s trademark double C logo. And eighteen karat white gold was used to fashion both the clasp and the bag’s long shoulder straps. Stay tuned and find out which bag you really want, yes, maybe you could not afford that much money, but we have our way, don’t you think a cute fake one is a good choice for those girls who wants to catch up with the fast moving fashion train.
With all the high-class breeding of a pedigree pooch comes Chanel’s Sharpei Tote.
The canine inspired moniker comes from the purse’s wrinkled sides. This detail combines with the buttery soft lambskin to create a slouchy, relaxed style. It’s soft and feminine, but I’m still not entirely convinced. It looks like the purse could easily collapse in an unsightly puddle of leather once it’s set down. I think I’d have to test drive this one to decide whether it’s got enough structure to impress.
The shoulder straps haven’t helped to sway me. That silver really pops against the black leather, but anyone who’s ever carried such chunky chains knows they’re not comfortable. The leather plaiting will do nothing to cushion your shoulders when using this as an everyday carryall. These straps, and the extra chain near the bottom of the bag, are also bound to make an already big purse even heavier.
But Chanel fans know they sometimes have to suffer a little for those designer looks. At least the design is practical, with a zippered pocket, two open pouches for gadgets, and a leash keychain inside. With its $3350 price tag though, I’m still not sure there’s enough positives here to win casual Chanel fans like me over.
To those Chanel lovers, there’s news that may make your move, the New York shop assistants say the price of the timeless bags will jump on 2010, while it’s not clear how much more we’ll be paying yet.
It might seem hard to justify such a price increase in the midst of a global recession, but Chanel can get away with because demand hasn’t waned. These designer bags have waiting lists ranging from 30 people to a few hundred. While bagist as willingly waits to get their mitts on a Chanel purse, I suppose the label can charge whatever it likes!
But the thing is, if we really need to cherish this chance, and the meaning of fashion is, to create the new things and forget old things, or should I say, the classic is something that worth an improvement, or a copy. The luxury and chic style is what we name this brand, with diamond quilted leather, the Chanel’s icon, the black and gold mixture, or just the original metal logo! Each magazine focuses on a different aspect of the Chanel Empire: fashion, jewelry, and perfume.
And we learn more and more about the label’s founder Coco Chanel and the great history of this brand, and of course those pictures, full-color images paying tribute to the fashion items which made the French brand a global icon.
Here’s the big brand, Chanel, it is so perfect for the red carpet use, I don’t want to show you how many celebrities had take it to their super big parties, I should tell you the Chanel is the one for this occasions, if you are going to a senior school party, you can do what ever you like, dress some shiny Chloe, and tote the Alexander Wang, hey, I believe you are sparkle enough, but on the carpet, Chanel Clutch is a better choice.
You may doubt the saying that every woman adore Chanel, but the double C logo will forever in the leading team of fashion, it’s elegant, noble and a little bit chic, I believe if the celebrities have no idea about those choices, they will pick this brand, as a sure choice. Black and white is forever, and Chanel is forever.
I believe that less is more, walk on the carpet, everybody wants to be the star, but too much decoration is a kill-her-self idea, and if you dress in a simple style, those fashion reporters will shut up, but if complicated and with a mistake, they have things to write, so just trust Coco Chanel.
Again we talk this new Chanel clutch, it is not this one that so famous, but the girl who pick it, the New Moon girl, Kristen Stewart, she is not going the daily way, there’s little, I don’t know how to day, special? May be it is, but trust me, Kristen is not the sweet girl, and the clutch is not a sweet one, but an edged Black Satin Clutch, actually, it is not that perfect with this girl, but it is perfect with this ceremony, the film Twilight premiere, so I can say, even a girl haven’t got the party queen style, but with Chanel, it is a sign that she’s going to a party.
Black, as I say, is the classic color for almost everything, especially when you don’t know which to choose to a big party, and this little black clutch is with silk-like surface, I can imagine the feeling when touching it, well, we can’t ask for too much when it is only a little clutch, next time, I will introduce more functional a clutch, but it is not for a party any more!
We all know this Chanel 2.55, it is the sign of fashion, just like the Birkin, they are the one and the other, both are legends, well, hello, it is an icon, history has made this story, I mean when Coco Chanel introduced this bag in February 1955, Coco wanted a shoulder bag to free up her hands, and this revolution brings this cute little magic thing.
I can’t number how many celebrities had carried this bag, and how many times it had been improved, but I know it is gorgeous to be with it, and I believe it is every girl’s dreams, and the first luxury thing they want the moment they know the word ‘Fashion’, it appears on magazine, on TV show, and in our dreams, it won’t saying we are taking the wrong bag, but the wrong dress, if there’s any mistake when you outing with it.
Over the years there have been many variations to the original design of the 2.55, including the leather/fabric, the chain – metal vs. interwoven leather, single flap vs. double flap, and the closure – mademoiselle vs. interlocking CC. The 2.55 refers to all flap-style bags, including variations of the original! And there are something we must know about it, it is you that need to do the homework before you buying it, because this one has so many history, so work hard, on it.
Some one said it was like a trip to the world’s chicest county fair, I don’t know if Karl Lagerfeld agree this, “I’m from the country, darling,” he said in an interview next to the giant haystack, which looked – and smelled – as if it had just been plucked off an Alsatian farm. “I hear all this talk about organic farming and the environment and things, and I’m all for it. But there must be certain sophistication, so it’s not used as an excuse to let things go to seed.” We believe in this old man, and it is indeed that like the rest of Chanel’s Spring 2010 collection, this green bag we recommended were more rustic-chic than the usual classic Parisian though it is presented this season, the leather strap is always the old chic style and the Mademoiselle turn lock is a surprise that makes the bag looks cute and lovely. We can sense the smell of next spring, whether that’s your thing or not, Karl Lagerfeld certainly seems to believe it.
The problem with Chanel, though, is that for better or for worse, they have a lot of aesthetic history to consider when a new collection is designed, we know they do something different here and there, and a lot of their bags are quite lovely, but rarely do we see them starting new bag trends. Nevertheless, who cares! It is Chanel, and every girl loves Chanel!
