I love a good ol' Chanel bag as much as the next person, you know, that fine Parisian accessory, maybe with the signature chain strap and the double C logo, and you know you're always going to get something well made... but last week saw the French fashion house take their cute quilting to a new level. The Coco Cocoon.
I went down to Chanel HQ to have a look at the new collection of lightweight nylon bags and I can happily report back that they are all A-MAZE with a capital A! The whole range screamed 'sunshine' to me, you can bet your bottom dollar (always wanted to use that line somewhere!) that the A listers will have a Jackie Collins (the book, not the woman) on one side and a Chanel Cocoon bag on the other.
My little pup Dhillon also loved the collection, see below. It was time to go when he started chewing on the decadent super-soft quilt and the handle on one of the bags. Oh dear!
Check it out - www.chanelcocococoon.com. Bags start from £860, cute little make-up cases start from £370 and the backpacks are £1050.
The display, sans Dhillon (j'adore the grey wheelie doctor's bag at the front)
The display, avec Dhillon! Doesn't he look good with Chanel?
