To Chanel or not to Chanel

A range of handbags made their way to the Chanel boutique located at Salhiya Complex and will soon be seen toted around K-town by many hardcore Chanel fans. For those of you who love the classic timeless flap bag but are looking for something modern with a twist, then the puzzle patent leather bag (as shown above) would be on top of their "I Want" list. Or for a settled look, maybe they'd go for the perforated metallic flap bag. There was also a selection of the most coveted Chanel: 2.55 in metallic silver and gold and their prices start at KD 700+.

My least favourite is the one shown in the last picture. They only have it in black though. I guess the bag strap just makes it look a bit on the tacky side for some reason. There were also a couple of classic and very practical Chanel ballerina flats in metallic gold and dark silver made out of snake skin. Prefect for those who are looking for investing in timeless and comfortable key pieces.




Which Chanel bag would you go for and how much are you willing to pay for a Chanel bag?

I have never bought a Chanel bag, they are WAY over my student budget. I hated them when they had their sale :( a week after the sale I saw a girl with a small chanel bag and wondered if she got it in the sale.

Thanks ever so much for an apt and most timely entry. With the nation going to the polls on May 17 we are seeing the beginnings of a Battle Royale, going in to the polling stations - Hermes Birkin v.
Chanel Classique. Also Will Laura Mercier trump Elizabeth Arden and MAC on D-day in K-Town in May?

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
