hi ladies! its toni22 from the balenciaga forum. i am ready to purchase my very very first chanel bag! and am doing my leg work to pick the absolute perfect one for me. I have been looking around at all the wonderful bags that you all own, and seem to really gravitate to the Chanel original Coco cabas.. the one with the distressed leather and the embroidered CC's on the front. But i cant really find any info as to when these bags were produced, which season.. I am assuming that they are all gone from the boutiques...
Please forgive my ignorance.. i am not really sure how Chanel works.. do they tend to release a similar shape each season... with the comfortable shoulder chains? I would prefer to purchase a new one if I can.. I went down to the Chanel boutique over the weekend and spoke to a sales rep who told me that the coco cabas leather bag that i was looking for was quite a few years old already..... but i seem to think that it was more like 07.... so i am confused.
anyway. she had this really fantastic bag she called the Brooklyn bag.. that had a very cabas shape.. it was black lambskin with patent patchwork squares on it and the CC logo on front. it was really super stunning.. around $2900. Do you guys know of this bag.. and what do you think of it as a substitute for the Original Cabas that i may not be able to get my hands on..
I dont know enough about authenticating Chanel bags.. so i think at this price range i should stay away from *bay. I think for my first chanel i would prefer to walk into the boutique and buy a brand new one...
any suggestions for a balenciaga girl.. and her first Chanel bag???
