Its always so exciting when a new Chanel collection hits stores. Sure some pieces have already arrived since early October but the official international launch date for Chanel cruise 2015, the Dubai show, is November 18th so its still ahead of us!!! And one of the things I am looking most forward to is surely the handbags. Which exceptional pieces from the runway were the most beautiful? Which are the most amazing new colors and textures that will arrive for the classic flap and Boy bags?
- pearl shaped plexiglass clutch – ivory, (Ref code 15C A69836 Y25825 10800), $ 13,000.00 (EUR 8,500.00)
- pearl shaped plexiglass clutch – rose clair, (Ref 15C A69836 Y25825 99969) – EUR 8,500.00
- pearl plexiglass clutch – argenté foncé (Ref 15C A69836 Y09855 99968) – EUR 8,500.00
The pearl clutch, which comes in 3 different colors, was an immediate love story for me. Its very discreetly playing with the codes of Chanel. And it blends so perfectly well with the current pearl jewelry craze. Such an amazing evening bag! But the pearly theme of the collection doesn’t stop here. For the classic flap and Boy bags amazing iridescent calf skins and grained iridescent calf skins with satin matte hardwear will become available in store.
- flap bag in iridescent grained calf skin, charcoal grey, with ruthenium hardwear (Ref code 15C Y25201 0A592), maxi jumbo double flap (A58601) – EUR 4,300.00; jumbo double flap (A58600) – EUR 3,950.00
- medium flap bag in iridescent grained calf skin, ivory, with satin silver metal hardwear (Ref code 15C A01112 Y25200 10800)
For all those, who are less into the very elegant pearly theme and feel the need to inject a splash of 60ies pop art colors into their wardrobe there are fabulous patent calf skin bags with colorful plexiglass closure!
- small Boy bag in patent calf skin, dark blue, silver metal hard wear and plexiglass closure
- small Boy bag in patent calf skin, orange, silver metal hard wear and plexiglass closure
Sadly my favorite, the 2.55 bags, weren’t as much of a topic within the collection, which might partially be true to the fact that the bag celebrates 60th anniversary next year. Hopefully there will be a limited edition anniversary line ahead of us!
What are you most looking forward within a Chanel collection – artfully embellished runway styles or the new releases of the classics like flap and Boy bag? What are your favorite bags from cruise Dubai 2015?
In general I prefer classics so much more than the highly special runway pieces. But I don’t consider the pearl as such a special minaudiere. Don’t you remember spring 2005?
maybe 10th anniversary edition of the pearl clutch! Personally I don’t like the clutch its way too girly for me. And 13000 dollar is unbelievable!!!

In fact the pearl is rather special. Chanel had it in 2005 as said before and in 2009 Franki Morello had a very similar piece (check out here http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f60/frankie-morello-f-w-09-10-milan-77217.html)! The pearly caviar bags are true beauties. However, I regret to say that the patent boys are just awefull. They look like plastic!
