Hello - Need Help on this!

Hi, I"m Layne and I am a photographer for a couture consignment business called "Couture Closet." We recently recieved a Chanel HARDSIDED bag from 2005 - limited edition and were trying to find more information about it online but can't seem to come up with anything!

i've posted some pictures:

The interior tag says: "2005 Premier Edition" and the interior is nylon? and has a corset-style lace-up between the compartments. One side of the bag is curved and one side has a double "hump" that looks a lot like a woman's derrier. :blush:

anywho, if any of you have any idea what the deal is with this bag, i'd love you to share it. i believe it is the first hard-sided bag EVER issued by Chanel.

Thanks for your help! I've been using this forum as a source of info for a while, and this is the first time i've been unable to find the bag somewhere else online!
 
I am not too sure, but I am sure the ladies would be happy to help you in the Chanel sub-forum...you'll probably get more responses from there. btw, Welcome!
 
This bag was discussed before. The most informative post talked about how this bag was originally designed by Karl Lagerfeld in Spring/Summer 1999.

The bag was actually designed with the purpose of a "headrest" in mind .... Karl apparently thought it would be chic to be able to use your bag as a headrest while you bask in the sun at the beach.

Hope that helps!

sorry - i just joined and searched as much as i could before posting, but thanks for the info!

so do you think the "2005" in the interior is a bag number?
