Chanel bags, you can keep them!
The opportunities to get authentic Chanel bags under retail are few and far between. Even more rare is markdowns up to 70% off retail price. Sounds too good to be true? In this case, it is not. Tomorrow, Thursday July 22nd, on Rue La La starting at 11 am EST the Madison Avenue Couture-Chanel Event will go live. During this, you will have the chance to score Chanel items for up to 70% off retail prices.
Most people who follow fashion know the Chanel signatures very well: black, ivory, bouclé, suits, camellias, black, ivory. Rinse, repeat. Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2010 haute couture collection of graphic white and silver was a significant departure from the Chanel aesthetic that we have all come to expect, and his Chanel Fall/Winter 2010 Haute Couture collection is yet another giant step into new territory.
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.
Most of us know that almost everything we buy is made in factories, not by a talented artisan that cares about his work, and that makes luxury goods a bit less fun. With vintage, at least we can pretend that it was made by a guy named Francois in a picturesque workshop, diligently sewing bags while wearing a beret and smoking a hand-rolled cigarette. Or at least that's what happens in my head. Perhaps Francois had a hand in the lovely Chanel Vintage Speedy Bag? I bet no one can prove to me that he didn't – it's vintage, after all.
