Default What Have I Gotten Myself Into?!
Hi, everyone I am new to Chanel and would like to share my first piece. I've always admired Chanel for being a beautiful, classic, and timeless brand. But, I never really thought of actually purchasing anything. Well, while browsing around a co assignment shop, I fell in love with my fist but surly not last Chanel bag. This was a completely unexpected event for me and I decided to take the plunge (a sort of belated graduation present to myself). So here she is... I don't know her exact name but she is made of lambskin and feels amazing. Thanks for letting me share!

Gorgeous!! Isn't it nice that a thing of such quality can live on, like an antique, and be adored by many people? It is so UNwasteful and sooo justifies the prices of these quality Chanel bags.

Thanks everyone! I have the feeling that this is the beginning of a long relationship with Chanel. By the way, I was wondering how delicate is lambskin? Even though, the bag is pre-loved its owner kept it in near pristine shape? Can the bag handle a little water and can I use products like apple guard to protect it? Or should I just leave it as is? Thanks for the help.
