Chanel Bag with Resin Pearls

user-pic
chanelpearlsbag2.jpg Chanel and pearls go hand in hand like bread and butter but translating the classic look into a bag is no easy task. Pearls are generally too "overdone" to look chic on a bag but this ultra soft lambskin flapbag with black resin pearls is an edgy take on a very classic style! There is another style that I actually like better, it's a tote style with the same pearls (jump for photo), it looks less fussy without the flap and is also bigger and more functional.  Large shoulder bag is 12"x12"/30cmx30cm $3,395 at Bergdorf Goodman, email Eddie Curtis and he'll hook you up no matter where you live!

What do you think of the black resin pearls and gunmetal chain?

  • Luckily these bags don´t shout out loud Chanel. Resin pearls fit well with the chain.Both are ok, but the larger one would fit me better.

  • Even though I personally prefer smaller bags, in this case the tote seems to fit the pearl studding better. There's too much going on for a smaller bag. I would however be worried to damage the pearls, but a Chanel should be handled with care anyway :)

  • I have the bigger tote style, and I love it. It's soft and mushy and still classy and elegant...

  • J'adore Chanel, this is gorgeous

  • I like the tote. Pearls make it pretty cool.

  • pearls have a dressed-up feel to them. I feel the pearls work better with the smaller bag. the tote should've been studded instead!

    One word: Resin?
    ...
    I don't quite know how I feel about that.

  • The resin pearls looks elegant on the small bag but looks cheap on the tote bag.

  • I can assure you, Anne, there is nothing cheap looking about the tote bag...

    These resin pearls make Chanel look cheap and tacky. And anything that a Kardashian would carry (namely Khloe), I would hope a true lady wouldn't carry.

  • If we worried about looking cheap because a Kardashian might carry it then we might as well stop shopping.

  • sorry....i just don't like both of them at all....
