If there’s one thing Chanel always excel at, it’s putting a fresh twist on classic concepts and thereby reclaiming them — this purse here is a perfect example of that.
It’s the tweed classic flap bag, from their current collection, and it stands out from all the other Chanel flap purses because of the way the tweed manages to look so gorgeous in that green — normally tweed is a very dated look, suitable only for English ladies of a certain age and lifestyle.
This purse, however, wouldn’t look out of place on the starriest of young starlets — and if you can get the matching bracelet too, then you’re a very lucky girl!Behold: Chanel Outstanding Pieces Spring 2011
BY AMANDA MULL
With the online launch of Chanel Spring 2011 comes the advent of Chanel Outstanding Pieces Spring 2011, which is the special moniker that the French brand uses for the most intricate, luxurious and expensive designs from each of its product categories. Encompassing everything from rare exotic leathers to hand embroidery, these bags are the creme de la creme from one of the finest leather goods companies in the world.
Would you like a Chanel Classic Flap completely covered in glittering crystals? It can be yours. What about a baby pink crocodile Mademoiselle bag? That too. Chanel doesn’t publicly release prices for thes pieces, but the old trope probably applies: If you have to ask, you can’t afford it. I know I can’t, but looking? Looking is free.
