Designer Handbag Bible

It is hilarious to see Chanel finally came up with something different from the classic 2.55 quilted flap bag. It is simple and chic.

It reminds me of the Chanel rock chain tote bag from last year.

Here are some replica.

I don’t know this bag can be carried in this way until I saw this photo. What I like about it is the leather is so soft and you can fold the handle down easily.

Here is a white one.

By the time of posting there is no normal leather Chanel Large Crackled Shopper Bag online yet. I will update it later.

Chanel crackled patent accordeon bag is from the Chanel Spring Summer 08 bags.

An authentic bag:

Here is a replica:

Did you see the difference? The authentic patent leather has texture, like small dry wrinkles; while the replica’s patent leather is smooth and polished.

Nicky Hilton has a Chanel modern chain tote bag.

I found some authentic Chanel Modern Chain Tote Bag from TPF. The authentic leather is matt-finish.

The replica Chanel modern chain tote bag. It is made of glossy nappa. It looks more shiny than the authentic.

If you compare the hardware, you will see the authentic hardware is thicker than that of the replica.

A Chanel denim coco cabas I found from Purseblog.

There is one from Cameron Diaz.

Here is a replica:

One more replica:

Can you see the difference? Both are made of washed denim. But the authentic denim looks more natural because the contrast between the washed denim and dark denim is more obvious. As to the replica denim, the washed part is evenly spreaded all over the bag and the contrast is less visible than the authentic.

If there is one bag that can tell the history of Chanel, it must be this Chanel Charm 2.55 bag.

Mischa Barton with this Chanel 2.55 charm bag. This OC girl extended her posh lifestyle from screen to real life.

One more killing photo. I fell in love with this bag at first sight because of this photo!

Is it adorable? What made this adorable is there is no replica for this item. The only replica by far is horrible - the charms are totally wrong! Check the photos below:

This is on the top of my wish list now. Valentine’s Day is coming. It is time to use your charm, girls!
