Gorgeous! Makes you not want to open it! Only the Chanel boutiques wrap it like that.

Ugh, so jealous. Those Camelias are gorgeous. I agree it makes you not want to open them! It's beautiful.
Congrats on your new handbag, by the way! You are so lucky!

your boyfriend is so sweet!

Is the actual camellia like a brooch you can use or how was it applied?

i love the wrappings esp with the camillia. In fact, i bought my large DS tote directly from the chanel store but they only reserved for classic purchases....i'm sooo disappointed..sigh

Camellia brooch sold at Chanel is different in that it comes with an oval authenticity plate and pin. Also, the price tag is over $250. The freebie camellia comes with a white adhesive tape.

They put masses of them on the bags in France - I have a pile of them I need to do something creative with - anyone managed to make anything out of them??
