i love the chain. I think that's my favorite thing about the reissue, and ironically, the first thing to turn me off to the bags Chanel makes that I don't like.

Does anyone share this chain infatuation? For example, love the body style of medallion tote, but would never get it -- no chains. Love the body style of the modern chains, but hate the chain so it's a no go... etc. etc.

I'm with you, Lovey. That's why it took me two trips to NM to pick out my first Chanel! I WANTED that silly chain! The chain, quilting and the CC on something metal. I never even touched the medallion tote until the second trip because it didn't have that wretched chain! Once I looked inside and saw the leather interior and realized it also had the quilting and if I stretched it, the medallion is attached with a (ta da!) CHAIN, that sold me on it.

Of course I never really got cured of the chain fetish until I got my yummy Ultimate soft messenger bag on Monday with its CHAIN handle. :tender:

Now I've got all the Chanel hallmarks, I just have to carry a bag on each shoulder to have them all at the same time.:upsidedown:

I just saw some Chanels at NM and there are quite a few bags with the heaviest chains I've ever seen. One bag, in particular, was very soft and squishy, but it had these heavy chains. Did some novice designer think this was worthy of the Chanel name? It was so unbalanced from a design perspective.

I too fell in love with the chain on the re-issue. :love: I love the rest of the bag as well, but that chain is just gorgeous!

I think one thing I like about the chain straps is that something as industrial as a chain is made to look so feminine and classy.

ABSOLUTELY! i'm the same-- i may love the "body" of the bag, but if i'm not a fan of the chains (quoting the same example of the modern chain range, loved the bags, hated the modern chain straps), i wouldn't buy the bag. In my eyes it wouldn't be the "perfect" chanel bag for me, so i just wouldn't get it.
i love the chain straps on the reissue, and the chain straps on the mademoiselles... which is why i ended up getting a mademoiselle, partly because i really liked the chain straps on it! :biggrin:
