Picture of Chanel "Naked Bag"

[Cowgirl]

I'd never buy one either, but this was the idea behind it...

From Women's Wear Daily several weeks ago:

O SAY CAN YOU SEE?: Leave it to Karl Lagerfeld to react quickly to changes in modern life - even troubling ones - and find a positively chic solution. When a terror scare in London last month evoked a ban on liquid items and gels on airplanes, forcing some passengers to tote carry-on items in clear plastic bags, the designer had a better idea. He dreamed up the "Naked Bag" for Chanel, transparent but with a subtle quilting pattern, dark piping and signature chain handles. Although an important vacation month in France, Lagerfeld said he "had the Chanel factories opened to have them made in a second..." Available in a variety of sizes and styles, the clearly modern accessories are slated to arrive in Chanel boutiques soon.

Oh. Okay - makes sense. I still don't like it though. Wonder if it'll fly. (pardon the pun - completely freudian!)

haha, my first thought was that this would be great for airplane trips- much better than carrying a plastic baggy! i'm glad to see karl and i see eye to eye. lol!

not for me. it looks cheap and i don't want everyone to be able to see what's in my bag.

I guess it's nice, if not to expensive, but I like my bags to be made of leather.

It's cute as a beach tote.

I don't like it. And I bet it's not going to be cheap either.

But I think they can put whole bunch of these bags on the Chanel boutique window display as decoration!

aaah, perfect for dept store employees they usually have to carry clear handbags.

OMG yes!!! I was totally thinking that too!!! No offense but what weirdo would think of this? Watch... I bet it will start flying off the shelves!!!! Okay ooops just read the top post!!! I guess the weirdo would be Karl Lagerfeld and I guess it will start "flying" off the shelves..

i think this new collection is very uniek......as the name of the bag says it all .....

If I had a bunch of other Chanel bags- I'd get the huge tote just for fun- looks like a great beach tote.

My thoughts exactly...
