Designer Handbags

Chanel is exclusive. We all know that is a fact. But they are actually quite exclusive on the internet as well. The website is done well, but there are no prices or detailed descriptions. That is why when it comes to Chanel, Vlad and I go to our friend Rhiannon. Rhiannon is a part time writer on the Purse Blog, but most of the time she writes for her own blog, Chanel Amour. When I am longing for the latest Chanel news, she has it. A new bag that really is striking my attention is the Chanel Precious Symbols Handbag. Rhiannon explains all about this bag:

For Fall we have a fun and whimsical purse named “Precious Symbols”Вќ. It is decorated with all the iconic symbols we have come to recognize as synonymous with the house of Chanel. The number 5, the camellia, CC monogram and the four leaf clover are all there. The purse is a small clutch size shoulder bag with chain strap. Available in black velvet and black patent leather, the latter is priced at $995. That is a deal for a Chanel bag!

There you have it folks! A beautiful bag which shows a fun side of Chanel and it has made its way under the 4 digit price tag. It is really unique how they implemented the use of all their well-known symbols on bag. {via Chanel Amour}

While looking at this bag, Vlad’s first comment was, “Why is that picture in black and white?Гў€Вќ Nice to see that I turned him into such a fashion guru. I had to inform him that the colors were indeed the color the bag was meant to be. I think it’s stunning. The Gucci Evening Frame Bag is the definition of purse sophistication. The bag comes with chain straps, a push-lock closure, the circular Gucci charm on the outside, and an inside pocket (which must be very small by the look of things). The dimensions are 7.7 x 1 x 4.5 inches. Unfortunately for me, my wallet, and my man, I of course drew a liking to the most expensive version of this bag. Hey, what can I say- it’s a skill. The bag that features dark grey metal fringes and silver hardware will most likely make you cringe at the price tag: $5950 (all I can say is good thing they didn’t round up to $6000). Gasp! How I wish I could have this bag! There is also a version with black suede with black baroque embroidery, black lizard trim, and silver hardware which goes for $1595. Next a version with black tulle and black crystals with silver hardware which costs $1950. And lastly the bag can be done in dark blue velvet with black flower embroidery and silver hardware for the cheapest of them all $1195. If I had my choice, I’d still pick the expensive metal one (if my father is reading this he is shaking his head with a big YES and giving me- through the computer- that look I get. The “What have I done wrong you can’t afford that look”). All of these evening beauties are available through Gucci for their various prices.
