Many of you asked me about the Mademoiselle group of bags from the Chanel Paris-London collection after I posted my Paris splurge and I am just following up. Unfortunately my purple bowler bag with petite matelasse is not available in the US-- my friend Melinda has been on a relentless hunt for it and I had to break the bad news for her last weekend. I did offer her a solution, fly to Paris and pick it up in person and enjoy a nice vacation! Though I am fairly certain Jessica from the Paris boutique will send it to her, it would make for a better story if she actually flew out herself, don't you think? The entire group is fabulous in glazed calfskin but I especially love the petite matelasse, it's a fresh and young version of the classic Chanel quilt, I am certain Mademoiselle Chanel herself would approve. Call Alexis at the Chanel boutique if you are interested in any of the above bags. 214-520-1055 Photos courtesy of Chanel USA

  • Hi Tina,
    Saw this collection in Hong Kong during my vacation a month ago. It was beyond beautiful!!

  • i LOVE this collection!

  • Sorry, the quilted Chanel bags just don´t appeal to me at all. And that super shine tops it all. I do think though, that these would work with older ladies,who don´t need lots of stuff along. But that shine,I guess they would chose a matte version.

  • I am with Mette on this one,those bag really do not appeal to me,I would feel like a 80 yrs old with one.

  • ditto mette and lina on this one

  • I'm with James on this one-I LOVE this collecton!!

  • I always love chanel. I like the style Tina got in Paris the best of this collection. I wonder why the US did not get the bowler style?

  • I saw the collection and fell in love with the ones in black but I am going to save my penny for the clutch/tote/shoulder bag (I call the 3 in 1) with pearl and gold chain detail.

  • I purchased the purple bowler bag at the Chanel boutique at Bloomingdales in South Coast Plaza a few weeks ago. They still have one in stock.

  • They have the purple bowler bag at Chanel in Bloomingdales (Midtown, NY)

  • agree with mette and lina, the style of this collection is not even refreshing. they remind me stam bag.

    i wonder if they are not from chanel, anyone would still be interested??

  • saw this collection in person and the glazed calfskin is amazing and beautiful.

    the purple bowler in the US is the narrow version. I tried to find Tina's version but was told Chanel USA did not buy that style.

  • I LOVE this collection too...especially the grey...I was in the Chanel boutique today looking for a keychain for a friend's niece's sweet 16, but they didn't have any, alas. But I saw the black in person and it's absolutely beautiful. So what I'm hearing described above is that Chanel USA did not buy the purple but Bloomingdale's did - what a coup.

  • Actually Jane, it's the same bag as the one Tina has.

  • is it just me, but do the 2 bottom bags look just like the marc jacobs stam bags???

  • Tina. Thx for the headsup on the bowler bag. Its gorgeous in person. I snatched the purple/eggplant one in greenwich s saks (they usually have the best chanel bag selection).
    To Anonymous, this bag is so not like the clunky stam bag (which I disliked). The picture here does not do justice to the bag. Ping

  • Love this bag. Was debating between this and the Louis Alma Amarante but got this instead. LOVE IT!

  • Love this bag!!! just got it last thursday from Saks in BH
