I had the chance to drop by Galeries Lafayette yesterday (the first time since I was in Paris this season)– I didn’t intend on shopping for bags by the way (and haha, no I’m not being defensive). I was there to buy some cheese lol. But hey why not pass by the Mode building first 🙂 And so I did– and passed by Chanel. I saw this bag.
Quite frankly, I am baffled that this bag should cost soooo much (well apart from the fact that Chanel leather bags only seem to increase in price year on year)– it was a “couture” bag I was told. But here’s the deal though. Anyone can walk into a fabric or crafts store and buy those exact findings to sew onto to the bag. It’s not like paillettes that need to be “perfectly” sewn together (there’s a much more acquired skill for that than attaching these findings randomly). Heck I know I can sew those findings onto a plain fabric Chanel bag *oye and I can’t sew properly either, but that I can do for sure :D*
I don’t know, this bag’s price just doesn’t sit too well with me. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is a pretty cool bag. Actually, it rocks. But it’s just not worth its asking price.
What do you peeps think?

How much is it?? o.O
The bag looked better in this photo than in flesh. I am too, baffled with this bag when I saw it in the Chanel store. It could have been sitting in Zara. Honestly.
