Hi Ladies, I am back from my trip. I missed reading about everyone's new Chanel purchases, I will have to spend a great deal of time catching up. But to everyone who got a fabulous Chanel while I was away - Congrats!!
I read from cover to cover the book "Deluxe - How luxury lost its luster" by Dana Thomas. OMG!!!! This a fabulous book. While it talked about all the major luxury brands, there was great reading on Chanel and Coco herself.
Really, if you haven't read this book, you should. I haven't sat down and read a book cover to cover in years, but really enjoyed this book.
Typical with first prints - some typos and strange sentence structures, but the book was impossible to put down.....however one part of the book, or actually in multiple parts it stated a harsh, harsh reality that "The average markup on a handbag is ten to twelve times production cost. At LV thirteen times..." So with all these increases at Chanel - Chanel must be waaaay past the thirteen by now....hate to even think about it.ush:
So, I didn't as I picked up my black patent timeless clutch at NM today....hehehehe.
Now, I have to decide do I really need or want both a black patent and black lambskin in the timeless clutch...might return one.
Well, I better get busy checking out what everyone has been up to...
