I remember receiving my first Chanel bag when I was 21 years old, it was the classic 2.55 in black lambskin with gold chain link and I felt so grown up whenever I used it. Looking back at college photos however, I looked like a little girl using her mother's bag (and gorgeous as the bag was, I looked really silly carrying it. Kelly was into fanny packs- a word that is not even in my bag vocab and shouldn't have been in hers but at least she looked age appropriate- I should scan that photo to give you some laughs). Now had this
Chanel shoulder pouch been available back then, my bag would have been as hip and young as my wardrobe! I love everything about this bag, the aged calfskin, the cute little ruffled pouch in front and the soft shape(without being too slouchy). The signature Chanel chains are there but in a youthful gun metal color and with a leather shoulder rest so you don't get those painful marks on your shoulder. This is truly one of the most adorable Chanel bags ever made and perfect for the girl who loves to glam up a classic with a bit of street edge! This has been out for a while so you'll need to do some serious sleuthing to find it. Call Alexis at Chanel for availablity 214-520-1055 $1,805 (920 pounds)
