Those of you (ahem, us) who grew up in the generation of the Spice Girls will know who Geri Halliwell is. And for the others who don’t know her, please google her or check out the Spice Girls’ songs and music videos 🙂
Anyway, Geri aka Ginger Spice was seen out and about with her former Spice Girls pal Scary Spice (Mel B) wearing an all leather get-up, pairing with it a Chanel classic flap bag in the jumbo size.
She seems to prefer the bag in silver hardware with smooth lambskin leather over the caviar textured leather.
I still can remember this bag too well when I first laid eyes on it sometime in 1992 after spending an unbelievable amount of time poring over it on Vogue along the magazine aisle of our local supermarket while I was still in college in San Francisco. That was practically eons ago and it’s really interesting how the perception of people about Chanel has changed. Back then it was really a bag for the more mature set. These days, women, and girls of all ages want to have at least one Chanel classic flap.
The evolution of the bag’s status has been truly remarkable. So it is really a good investment piece. And Geri Halliwell really rocked hers !
