On Monday I went on my semi-yearly pilgrimage to Manhattan, and I had a lot of fun! I think my shopping this time around was more spread out, as I bought stuff from Louis Vuitton, shoes from Burberry and Steven by Steve Madden, and my biggest purchase, of course, was from Chanel. I just got home today, significantly poorer but happier 
.
On Tuesday I went to Fifth Avenue, and stopped by the Chanel boutique. I've never bought anything from the store before, as my first Chanel was bought used. At the E 57th Street boutique I saw a black satin clutch that I fell in love with, and because I've been looking for a black evening bag I bought it. The one thing that bothered me was that it had a flap top but no button or buckle, so if the bag was a bit too full the flap would stick out.
Then the next day I went to the Madison Avenue boutique, and there, sitting on a shelf, was a bag that I've been dying for
. It was originally launched in 2006, but it had been reintroduced due to overwhelming popularity. And then I realized that I wanted/needed this bag way more than a clutch (because let's face it, I don't attend enough events to warrant the use of a formal clutch anyway), so I rushed back to my hotel -- all the way on W 33rd Street, I might add 
-- took the clutch I'd bought the day before and flew back to 57th Street to return it. Then I hightailed it back to the Madison Avenue boutique and bought my long-sought-after bag. The SA said it was a good thing I went back for it, because it was their very last one, and it might be a while before, and if ever, they get any more in stock 
.
So now the all-important question: What is it?
