Carry the Matellase all year-round, or just in the cold months?

Chi town Chanel · Feb 3rd, 2008, 01:49 PM

I love this bag, but because of it's puffy quiltedness, I feel like maybe it is best to carry it in the fall/winter. Do you think it would look OK to carry it in the spring/summer? Maybe some colors are better for certain seasons? I don't know, the puffer jacket quality makes me feel like it is a cold weather bag. What do you think?

I want to carry it in the spring/summer too, but I don't want it to look strange.

I absolutely think you can carry the matallasse all year round- I don't think of it as the same as a puffer jacket, but along the lines of a chanel-type quilting, which is classic and gorgeous. Definitely can be worn all year round!!

Thanks for posting those pics. They are a good example. It does look cute with the little sundress. I think a large black Matellase may look like a bit too much in the summer though, no? The lighter/brighter colors seem good to go for summer.

Yes, it's a true year round bag and it doesn't matter what colour it is...It is perfect all year round!

Those pics are so cute!! I totally agree it's all season. I see people carry quilted Chanel or woven BV's all the time - spring, summer, whatever. I think it's more about what you're putting it with than the bag itself, though I think the brighter colors do look more spring-y as well.

erm, well, I have 3 Matelasse bags now, teehee, so I plan to carry them year-round, whenever the mood hits me! I LOVE them!

The girl in those pics looks adorable with hers!
