This new Chanel Speedy Bag gives a brand new look to Chanel, as we are used to the Louis Vuitton Speedy but never a Chanel Speedy. Actually it is not a common one that you usually see.

Made from the woven leather which is the trademark of Chanel, it features two big metal pieces at the bottom of it and double C logo printed on both sides illustrate its elegance and brand well. It looks modern and great and I think it may go well with some formal ensemble and can also be taken to some formal occasions. Of course, it must be practical and could hold your necessary daily stuffs. With two long metal and leather interwoven handles, it could be carried in the hands or over the shoulder.

I quite like its bag and would like to put it on my dream wish list. It is fantastic! Though it is known that most of the current designer bags are made in the factories, I think this one must be very expensive and actually it is worthy of having one with its delicate craftsmanship, creative design, and high quality materials.

Before I have introduced so many kinds of Chanel Flap Bag to you and this time I would like to tell you how it is made. Some people dream of years of having a Chanel Classic Flap Bag, including me, while fortunately some already have. Whatever, let us firstly get to know its making process.

One Chanel 2.55 handbag is made by six people and it will take two and half hours to finish. The total making process takes 180 steps. Many hand-made mock-ups are firstly produced and then it always takes around a week to make a final decision about choosing a final prototype and its exact proportions and stitching details.

Before the bag can be made, the leather must be prepared, it is cut from the skin by hand or by computer, and then it is machine-stitched, trimmed and finished. Most of the time is spent on the table, when craftsmen try to produce an item of luxury and turn each bag inside out and back again, for they just want to make sure the inside is as good as the outside. At last, they add some beautiful accessories to make it more wonderful.

As an American actress, Kate Hundson is such a big fan of Chanel and has some great classic handbags or even dresses.

I remember when she attend Tom Ford’s boutique opening soiree long time ago, she was wearing a Chanel Bow Mini Dress and looks really pretty and fantastic. Last December, she was also wearing a beaded Chanel Mini Dress with a lengthy train attending the New York premiere of Rob Marshall’s hotly anticipated movie musical Nine and matched with a black-and-white diamond micro-pave ring from Chopard.

Not long ago, she was shot wearing large sunglasses almost covering her face and holding a Chanel Black Quilted Leather Handbag which features double C logo on the front and it is obliviously a functional handbag. She looks great and casual.

Recently she got a Chanel Grey Quilted Bag which belongs to the Spring 2010 Collection. It is actually a stylish bag with delicate craftsmanship and high-quality materials. I have admired this one for a long time, it is also functional with large size and is obviously to hold necessary daily stuffs, such magazines, A4 documents or even a small Apple MacBook. If you really need a great bag as daily use and can afford it, this Chanel bag is a good choice.

Named after the world famous holiday resort on the Basque coast of south west France where the legendary fashion Coco Chanel opened her first boutique in 1915, Chanel Croc Biarritz is a limited edition, it is said that there only eight were made available in the United States, three of these in Chanel NYC, two in Chanel LA, and three more wandering around select Neiman Marcus locations.

The Kaiser released this kind handbag for the Parisian Jet set who loves the resort and also idolize Coco Chanel. This Croc Biarritz is crafted out of the shiny black patent crocodile skin which looks elegant and luxurious. It features simple zip pocket with a silver CC pull chain zippers and a big main compartment and internal dividers to help you hold sunglasses, wallet and other tiny things separately. With two straps it could be carried in the hands or over the shoulder.

There are three sizes of this kind, and I think the small one is so small that could not as the daily use, while the large one is too big and could be as a sleeping bag. I would like to choose the large one which is quite suitable for the casual occasion and formal occasion.

I am quite sure that Karlina Kurkova is definitely a beautiful woman who can wear almost anything and look beautiful, and I like the outfits of Karolina Kurkova in this photo, she was wearing a deep blue coat and grey trousers with a fedora on her head. In this way she looks simple and is in a casually tomboyish and Parisian way. She carried the Black Chanel Classic Bag cross her shoulder which keeps the looks more casual and comfortable.

The series of this flap bag is crafted in lambskin or caviar leather which could last for a long time and could be carried season after season. It features double CC turn-style lock which was designed by designer Karl Lagerfeld. It is available in black, white, grey, and a rich dark chocolate brown, yellow and so on. There are few handbags that could last the test of time like this one. With the double chains that could also change to one long chain invented by Coco Chanel to free up use of a woman’s hands, this handbag could be carried in hands, over the shoulder or even cross the shoulder as Karolina Kurkova. I think every famous people has this Chanel bag and they would like to take this to any occasions.

Chanel Karl Lagerfeld’s Bag was released last year and belongs to the Chanel spring and summer 2010 collection. When I first saw this bag, I was amazed and surprised at its design that Karl printed his own figures on the bag and I have to admit that it is a interesting and fantastic handbag.

Though this bag is made in a simple way, it has intelligent design and special quality sense. It features a black and white tote with Karl Lagerfeld’s headshot printed on the front. What is more interesting is that its handles are the finishing touch which are placed on his ski goggles or his significant sunglasses.

In the fashion show, the model Angela Lindvall got to understand the essence of his bag, performing the best of its handbag. Look at the above picture, she is putting the touch on her face and peering through the handles. In this case, this bag seems to be her mask, making the whole show with her new fashion sense.

I think this bag is not suitable for daily use and could only as a classic collection, for the Karl Lagerfeld’s figure was printed on it and I do not always want to take him with me.

As an American fashion stylist and author, Rachel Zoe is well-known for collaborating with celebrities, fashion houses, beauty firms, and so on, and she is also the guider of the fashion trend. I love her and her show on Bravo. It is quite usual to see her fashionable and chic wearing.

In the above picture, she is spotted in the street by wearing a white coat and carrying a Chanel Black Reissue Bag. This bag is crafted out of vinyl instead of patent leather, and may be the one of the biggest bags that Chanel has ever released, and thus it is not so heavy because of the material. Personally I think this bag goes well with her outfit, and make her look modern and distinctive, and I like her ensemble.

This Chanel Reissue bag is one of the Chanel fall and winter collection for 2009/2010 and is another classic Chanel 2.55 purse. I like its shining black and its oversize which present elegant and glamour that few other Chanel bags could achieve. As to its oversize, it is also functional and could be used as a daily use. And I think it could go well with some fashionable outfits as followed.

Rebecca Gayheart, an American television and film actress, is a baby daughter’s mother. She is fashionable and look chic even when she was pregnant.

She was spotted leaving La Conversation restaurant in West Hollywood. In the picture she looked great and casual by wearing black leggings and white top and holding a fantastic classic Chanel bag. This bag transforms her laid-back look to casual elegance and goes well with her white top as it create a luxurious look. It is really a elegant looking bag in quilting design, and the combination of gold-tone hardware add luxurious style to its all design. With chain handle and leather shoulder, it could be carried over the shoulder or in the hands. This bag is versatile and classic which could go well with any outfits in your wardrobe.

She was also spotted running on some errands in the casual outfits, but holding the same Chanel bag. This time she was wearing loose cream top, cropped jeans and fedora hat by holding a classic Chanel handbag. She looks also elegant and casual with this bag. it is proven again that this kind of Chanel bag would go well with no matter what your outfit is.

Chanel Quilted Calfskin Bag , one of the Chanel Spring and Summer 2009 collection, looks classic and elegance with the color of black. I think black is the classic color for Chanel and each of the Chanel bag is classic elegance.

This quilted bag is craft out of the combination of patent and quilted leather which not only give it a modern looking but also would let you use it for years. And the quilted leather looks quite supple and it must be very comfortable on the skin. It is in a black patent flap with round CC snap on the front, and I would carry it through the double interlaced leather chain in my hands or over my shoulders.

The total design makes this quilted calfskin bag look modern and sophisticated. Therefore in my point view, this bag goes well some fashion and smart outfits, or some pretty dress that quite suitable for spring and summer. Looking the following picture, I choose three kinds of dress to match this black, gold long dress, white braces skirt and spring linen-blend dress, for I think these three kinds of dress are perfect for the season as well as this black quilted calfskin bag.

As the summer is coming, I have introduced the Chanel new handbag collections for spring and summer before. Here I just want to say some items I like and also perfect for the coming season.

1. Long wallet in calfskin with Embossed Camellias
This clutch is made of calfskin in very shining pink color. I love the camellia shapes background which could add femininity to its all design. it would be match well with chic summer mini or bright up a work outfit.

2. Zipped wallet in metallic patent calfskin
Sometimes you may not need a big bag, and this is the perfect accessory. Its silver color is suitable for the summer and the pattern background is very cute, making this long zipped wallet more interesting. It is very suitable as the evening clutch and goes well with the black or shining evening long dress.

3.Chanel sunglasses
I choose two items, that is the aviator frame in pale gold metal with Chanel signature on fornt of frame, and the square shape frame in acetate with contrast outlining and Chanel signature on temple. Both of them are timeless and perfect finishing touch to any outfit.

4. Chanel No.5 Parfum
The last thing is inevitable in the summer, that is Chanel No5 Parfum. This powerful and feminine scent is perfect for wearing in the summer when I need this scent to last all day. And its bottle is also suitable for any dressing table.
