I mean, let’s be real, Chanel’s all about timelessness and iconic-ness (yes, I just made that up, sue me). And that means they gotta keep things fresh, right? Can’t just keep churning out the same black caviar flap bag, even if it *is* gorgeous.
So, what kind of fabric are we talking? Well, the Deauville tote is a *prime* example. That bag is basically begging for fabric experimentation. Think different colors, textures, maybe even a crazy mix of patterns. It’s a bigger bag, so you can really go wild. And speaking of fabrics, I’ve seen some Caviar Fabric totes with chain detailing, which… I gotta say, is kinda edgy. Like, Chanel, but with a twist.
And don’t forget tweed! It’s practically a Chanel staple. I saw something about The RealReal having an authenticated edit of Chanel totes, which is a good place to start if you’re after something pre-loved (and maybe a little less wallet-busting).
But here’s the thing… the quality, right? It’s Chanel. So, even if it’s *fabric*, it’s gonna be *good* fabric. Like, probably better than your entire wardrobe. I’m just sayin’. They’re not gonna skimp on materials, even if it’s not, like, a super-premium leather.
Okay, side note: that Caviar leather that everyone goes nuts for? Apparently, it was introduced in the 90s. Who knew? Anyway, back to fabric.
I think what’s cool about fabric Chanel bags is that they feel a little less… precious? Than the leather ones. Like, you can actually *use* them without feeling like you’re gonna scratch them or ruin them. (Okay, maybe not *completely* worry-free, it’s still Chanel).
