I have been DYING to see the Cruise LAX line in person...no one had sizes of the bags, no one knew the colors etc. I saw my first LAX bag last week at NM and today, finally, a bunch came into Saks! To save everyone some research (since I have been obsessed with this for the past month!) here is what I've found, if you're interested in this part of the LAX line...
The bags I've been concerned about are the lambskin leather ones that read "CHANEL" in silver letters across a square stitched bag. There is a large, hard handled tote (pic here - kind of like the Cerf), a large tote (comparable to GST size - no pic but looks EXACTLY like the small tote pictured here, except larger!), the medium tote (E/W looking one) and the small tote (shown here in red and black.) There is also a small shoulder bag in this line, also pictured here. Saks is NOT carrying the large tote (which is my favorite!) but NM can get it in black. I don't even think the Chanel boutiques are getting the large tote except for Beverly Hills.
The prices are:
Hard Handled tote - $3145?
Large Tote - $2795
Medium E/W Tote - $2650
Small Tote - $2350
Size wise - I am 5'10" and the small and medium Tote's are way too small on my frame. The large tote is AWESOME looking on me!!!
The bags come in Black, Navy Blue, White and Red. The colors are beautiful. The blue is more a deep rich blue, than a navy. The red is a nice red, the white a "creamy" ivory white. Not all stores have all the bags in all the colors!!! ARGH! What else is new?!
The bags are ever-so-lightweight. They really feel like "air". The chains wind through the ends of the bag and end up in one leather strap. The sides can pull out a bit, so it's "tote" looking or they can fold in, as shown here. I absolutely love this line! Hope the pics help others to fall in love too!
Saks already has the ones pictured here in stock. Call Lisa at 813-371-5100 or email her [email protected] if you are interested in any of them.
