Tell me that if the Chanel Woven Fabric Shopping Tote (with Lemarié Tweed Flower), that Rachel Bilson is toting around didn’t have the Chanel logo and chain you’d still think it cost more than $100 and I wouldn’t believe you! The Spring Summer 2010 collection had a lot to offer – including some gorgeous takes on the classic 2.55 (particularly the over-sized messengers) – but I just cannot find anything appealing in these dowdy patch-like flowers. The bag shape itself is nice and the interlaced chain and over-sized signature Chanel logo are chic (Chanel seems to be the only brand that can pull off those in your face logos without being overly obnoxious and I love that the logo here is done in metal and fabric), but why these patterned black flowers?
What do you think of this fabric Chanel tote? Snob or Slob?
hasnt Tina already made a post about the same bag?
No Tina did not already post about this bag!!!
Man Snob posted about the “Coco Country Bag” on 1/27/10!! The bags are similar, but aren’t the same!
…and…
Kelly did do a post about the Spring 2010 Chanel Bags, but did not post about this bag specifically!!!
I would like to think that since they all work collaboratively on Bag Snob, there are going to know what everyone else has already posted!!! So no they do not copy one another!!!
Next time scan the the Archives to double check!!!
Sharon!!!
I do think that this is one of those cases where just slapping a label on something doesn’t make it cute!!! Sure they tried, but next time try harder!!!!
So to sum it up “SLOB!!!!!!!!!!!”
No in your face logos don’t work even for Chanel…you just say that because it is Chanel. SLOB
Steven L. Kidder,
You just made my day:-) Love the passion behind all your “!” !!
snob or slob what difference does it make, the Chanel tote is wonderful
AwWww thanks!!!! I do love a good exclamation point!!!!!!!
I was just bowled over at the fact that he thought you were copying Tina, EXCUSE ME!!! It’s the least I could do for my fave blog!!!
I think it is a cute bag but not cute enough for Chanel prices!
wtf? this bag looks worse than the ones you get at the local market for a few coins!
Agreed that the bag is ugly and most probably horrendously overpriced.
On a side note, when Sharon made the post about Rachel Bilson and her Chloe Marcie, it was said “Can Rachel Bilson ever do anything wrong fashion-wise!?” Well, I guess she can. Lol 😀
I’m not saying this to be mean, I just found it funnily ironic that these two posts were just a couple of weeks apart 🙂
the way she’s wearing it — slob. the bag could look cute otherwise if worn at the beach with a more sunny, appropriate outfit.
I was actually thinking about that when I saw this picture…she finally is wearing something I’m not dying for!
Cute but definitely not worth the price tag.
