CHANEL COCO COCOON LARGE SHOPPING TOTE

Officially my single biggest splurge in Paris, the Chanel Coco Cocoon Large Shopping Tote was love at first sight for me. Those of you following me on Twitter would have already caught a glimpse of it, as it travelled in the cab beside me back home after I landed in Singapore. Basically a bulbous nylon tote with some trim in leather, the tote is actually a two-in-one. On the inside (and buttoned within) is another nylon messenger, which you can unbutton and pull out to be used separately.

Retailing for EUR1900, it ain’t exactly the cheapest bag around but I love it for the following reasons. It’s huge (65 cm by 38 cm), it is such a joy to hug (which makes it a great companion on long flights), I heard it costs over SGD4000 in Singapore, the tote is reversible, and most importantly, where else can you get 2 bags for the price of one?

I initially saw the one in Black which I was quite ready to commit to, but the lovely SA at Chanel Rue Cambon went into the storeroom and got the one in Blue for me.

Here’s a closer look at the extra messenger, which is no less huge or beautiful.

Chanel Vintage Speedy Bag

I wish with every fiber of my being that more online stores stocked vintage luxury bags. There’s something that I find so alluring about vintage – much of it, particularly those items made by luxury houses, has the feel of true exclusivity that even most high-end bags are missing these days.

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.

 This is not your average vintage Chanel bag – classic flaps are fairly easy to find at high-end vintage shops and, if you have nerves of steel, on eBay, but styles that were only made for a short period of time and don’t have the “iconic” status of a flap bag are what really intrigue me. I particularly like the large metal pieces on the ends and that this bag uses a specially woven leather to mimic the brand’s trademark quilts – the details go a long way in a vintage piece. I don’t know if I’d pay the premium for it, but if you want a Chanel bag that you’ll probably never see on anyone else, something like this is right up your alley.

So much for cleaning up her act. I have no idea why some females decide that Halloween is an excuse to dress like a 2 cent hooker. Sure, it was cool when you were a freshman in college, but to continue the ‘I’m a slutty ________” is downright tacky. And Paris Hilton has tainted young girls minds, dressing as Alice from DISNEY’S! Alice in Wonderland. I mean come on, isn’t anything sacred anymore. And speaking of sacred, what on earth has this girl done to herChanel Perforated White Jumbo Flap Handbag??? GASP! Such a lovely piece has been used and abused, showing significant wear, tear, and dirt all over it. I understand that a handbag is meant to be worn, but give your bag just a little respect. Then again, when you are used to spending someone else’s money everyday in large quantities, money really has no value to you. I’m just going to keep shaking my head at this girl, and asking her to give me her handbags that she plans on ruining before they are ruined. I promise to take care of them!
