Stripping now!
TA-DA!
Gold metallic flap w/ black lace in m/l!
I think this was from S/S 2010 Act 1 or possibly Act 2, quite honestly I'm not entirely sure. I had seen this bag at Neiman Marcus literally MONTHS ago and had mentioned in passing to the hubs how pretty it was. He remembered this WHOLE time!!!!! He literally searched and called dozens of places and had our Neiman Marcus SA call dozens of places to hunt this bag down. The SA said this was literally the last one in the entire company.
*swoon*
My hubby is the bestest :)
I'm totally obsessed with anything shiny/sparkly/glossy/lacy.. you get the picture. The bag is made out of goatskin with a metallic overlay. The gold is actually quite reflective in real life. You can kind of see my fleshy pink skin staring back at you if you look at the middle of the flap. LOL. It's not sparkly or glittery and it's not a patent leather bag either. The black lace actually seems to be steamed or ironed onto the flap. I actually thought it was a loose lace overlay but I tried to pick at it and it seems to be sealed on. HAHA. Don't tell the hubs.
The tradition back pocket Coco Chanel designed specifically for cab fare and opera tickets.
YAY and it's made in France :)! Woot! All of my Chanel babies are made in France with the exception of my classic jumbo black flap w/ ghw which is made in Italy. Which is fine because surprisingly jumbo black flaps w/ ghw are difficult to come by these days because the demand is so high. I've heard there's a 2 month waiting list in NYC... craziness!
I really appreciate that the inner flap is lined with the same gold metallic and lace cloth.
A close-up of the gold metallic leather and black lace overlay. The double CC lock is in a brushed matte gold as well.
Well that's it folks I hope you enjoyed my little Chanel Valentine's reveal! :)

ReplyDeleteJust Better Together
OMG! Can I exclaim again? OMG! Your hubby is sooooooooooo sweet! Not only coz he bought you chanel but the fact that he actully remembers what you like and the effort he took.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never seen that design before! Black lace over metallic? Gosh, it’s really intricate. My dream bag is the more simple but ever classic the black classic flap with GHW but the price has been soaring so much that I can't even bear to spare the cash on that bag.
The bag ist really great *-* love it! I love shiny/Sparky things too XD it shows how ur husband loves u when u husband remembered it all the time^^
ReplyDeleteNow that is gorgeous! How amazing!!! xx

ReplyDeleteHello Miss Chen~ I have quite a few frisco bloggers and quite a few more cali ones but I don't think I have any taiwanese americans =D I have one who actually lives in Taiwan. So hello! Thank you for following me! Thank you for going through so many of my old posts actually. Lol I'm glad you found my writing style funny - I try pretty hard to be honest.
I've never been to this blog before O.O You have many many pictures of food which I like (I think you would know). I'm following keep the updates coming. And my Alexander Wang meetup was probably one of the 2010 highlights. It's pretty cool to meet famous people and he was TRULY a nice guy, not faking it.
Hope to talk to you again soon.

O - M - G Lisa! THAT bag is AH MAZINGGGG! What a lucky girl and a sweet hubby of yours! I have a classic jumbo but chose the silver h/w since that's what I tend to wear 99% of the time. Your story about the waitlist makes me think I should have bought the gold (like everyone told me to at the time). Maybe for my next wishlist I would pick the medium size black w/gold. But seriously - I.DIE. over your bag. Tres chic!
