Sure I've worn it transparent. I've placed my favorite Chanel Lipsticks: Lover and Charme, my pink credit card holder, and a pink Chanel travel ligne makeup bag to hold my keys so they wouldn't leave marks on the plastic.
I'll try posting a picture before I leave for my vacation to Wellington, FL

I'm looking forward to visiting some Chanel boutiques in Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton, and possibly Bal Harbour if I get my way. But I may not be able to go to any. I'm crossing my fingers.

^ F, I bought mine 30% off org. (close to Cdn$1k) from Bloor Chanel last June 08 & it was about Cdn$7xx - came with 2 dust bag & the box, but the card was missing from the boutique already. Anyway, the chain length for the naked flap is pretty short. Can't be worn messenger style unless it'll be in pretty funny position.

^ yeah...with the taxes & shipping $6xx can go to ~$7xx in Canada.

Wait...let me check the bill...It's actually C$768.08 I totally forget the cost already - but no...this is the best bag I've ever got even though it's not leather at all

I don't bother even looking at her site now.
She wouldn't take Paypal or anything other than US credit cards. Not hugely helpful (understatement), but it worked out OK for me in the end as I found the same bag, in better condition for a LOT less elsewhere

Good luck!

bumping this thread up...

I got mine from JemzNjewels!!

Thank u so much GOTBIGHAIR!! U rock girl!!! I bargained for the price... took awhile to email w/Rachel back & forth though (but it's ok cuz I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend so much $ recently..) Final negotation price was $660 including shipping to Canada!! Whoohooooooooooooooooooo
I am so happy! Cuz she was so nice to mark it as a gift and of $100 value AND ship it with USPS as I asked, and as a result.. NO CUSTOM DUTY FEES!!!!!
I know a few TPFers has problems with her tardiness with shipping, but she shipped mine in like 2 days of payment (and she let me used paypal ^^) and I just received it today!

Don't know why the dustbag has water/salt stain on it when she said the bag is new.. but oh well didnt' matter too much to me
