Recession-chic?

Chanel recently launched a new collection of lightweight nylon and lambskin bags entitled “Coco’s Cocoon”. The quilted exterior is very reminiscent of the house’s classic 2.55 bag. These carry-alls come in a very basic color palette of black, ecru, navy and beige. Here at B|E, the Chanel totes are getting mixed reviews style-wise. The design is somewhat bland, but they are completely REVERSIBLE! In these unstable economic times a good two-for-one deal is golden. But will you sacrifice style for practicality?
