Designer Handbag Bible

My female friend told me after she read the post of CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG from purseblog she fell in love with this bag:

Hmmm… with a price tag of $30,000 I feel I carry a car on my arm if I have this bag (in my dream). But my crazy girlfriend got on hold of one before Victoria Beckham did ….. I seriously doubt its authenticity though!! I would still like to thank her for her photo (below) of that exclusive CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG!!!!

- The color looks different. Or it might be because of the lighting?

Honestly if I have that amount of money, I would buy the CHANEL 2.55 REISSUE ALLIGATOR FLAP BAG instead of a car. We all know cars drop their value once they are driven outside of showrooms, but Chanel 2.55 bags keep their value or even appreciate if we use them gently — does it mean women are better investors of men? Hehe ….

I was told by my girl friends that some Chinese factory made very authentic-looking Chanel bags these days. Photos below are provided by purse forum buyers of an authentic Chanel shopping tote and a very authentic-looking Chanel shopping tote replica. See if you can tell the difference..

For the zip pull of all zippers: one side is CC and one side is CHANEL.

I just recently found many of my friends believe Chanel made jumbo bags 31cm in double flap bags!! Chanel made the old style CC clasp 2.55 flap bag (25.5cm) in double flap style but CC clasp jumbo bags (31cm) don’t come in double flap bag style yet when this post is written. However the new square-shaped clasp jumbo bags DO come in double flap bag style. It is confusing, isn’t it? Check the photos below.

Blake Lively in Christian Louboutin Armadillo Pleated Ankle Booties and Chanel Bubble Quilt Flap Bag arrived at the Late Show with David Letterman in New York, March 24, 2009.

meet the replica Christian Louboutin Armadillo Pleated Ankle Booties. Authentic Christian Louboutin shoes have thinner and higher heels.

an authentic Chanel bubble quilt flap bag. Its leather looks supply and glossy, yet distressed. The color is rich either in burgundy or camel.

some replica quilt flap bag:

The leather is just so wrong. The shiny one looks so smooth without any texture. The distressed one looks dry without any gloss!

Carmen Electra was toting a Chanel Chain Metallic Bag in Malibu in June 2009.

This style is from Chanel Spring Summer 2009 collection. It is similar to the Chain Chain Bag Nicky Hilton carried a few years ago but with wider bottom.

According to my source, this kind of metallic lambskin is very soft. Replica bags will never be made of this kind of lambskin, as they are pricy.
