Yummy orange flap

[Balto Bag Lady]

I was shopping for a cosmetic bag today at NM in Tysons. While I was waiting for the SA to locate a box for my little nylon case, I saw the yummiest looking/feeling flap. OMG it was the most beautiful color and was trimmed in magenta. It was quite possibly the most impractical handbag I had ever seen (except maybe white lamb.) Maybe it is a reissue, but I'm no expert. I wish I had a use for it, but I am Mrs. Practical, so I had to step away from the display. I did luck out with the cosmetic case, however. I believe it was the least expensive Chanel product in history at $155 and it wasn't even on sale! The SA really had to dig deep in the drawers to find it, too.

That is a really good price. Do you happen to have a picture of the cosmetic bag?

Hmm is the orange flap part of the icons line? Sounds interesting!

That cosmetics case is such a good deal! Do post pics if you can.

Here it is, it's very pretty!!! I love the orangey red that Chanel is doing for the spring, even in the RTW and shoes.

That's it! It looks so much nicer in real life.
I'll post photos later today of the cosmetic bag.

i love that bag with the pink outer lining I agree it is a bit impractical, what would you wear to match that bag? Cant wait to see your cosmetics case- I thought mine was cheap at $340!

I did say the bag was nylon. I have already loaded it up and put away the tags. I couldn't find the tag for some reason (and I save everything!) Anyway, here are a couple of photos of my bargain. I saw some of the leather cosmetic cases, but they were too small. Sorry for the less than perfect photos.

Love your cosmetic bag! Would you mind giving the dimensions if you have time? THANKS!

It is my pleasure: 8" wide; 5.75" deep (from top of zipper to bottom of bag and about 1.75" thick. It opens really wide and holds a lot. The base of the bag is leather and there is a leather strap that run up the side of the bag that is like a handle. For arthritic old hands like mine, it is a real pleasure to be able to grab the bag without having to hold on to the top of it. When you get to my age, you will see this as a real plus!!
Normally I save the tags but I misplaced them, so I can't give you a model number. If I find them, I'll post the information. It must have been buried in the depths of old unsold accessories.
