Chanel Alligator and Python Flap Bag

Everyone is mixing exotic skins together but no one does it like Chanel. In all its incarnations, this flap is the most extraordinary. Not only because it is fabulous exotic but because the flap lends itself perfectly to this design. It already has the two elements instead of doing alligator front panel and python sides, or alligator trim or pockets. I also love that it does not have the traditional chains, it makes it stand out from the rest, as it should and does. You also get the bang for your buck this way, the alligator is on the prominent flap so really all you are focusing on is that. And look at the scales, perfect and large! Are you in love or what? It also came in white but this must be black to show it properly. And I used past tense because this bag is sold out. Like I said, you really get bang for your buck for this at $10,200, an all alligator Chanel flap is closer to $30,000.

    Lovely! White would be terrific too!

  • This is perfect. A Chanel without the typical logo, just a discreet name on the lock. Yes, and you get two in one, the alligator and the python. Mine is the larger version !
