In some ways, without the timeless elegance and beauty of monochrome, Chanel could not be that popular and hot. Would you be offended if I say Chanel has become one of the luxuries that people are dreaming of owning some day just because it’s Chanel. Whether you agree with me or not, I bet you may admit sometimes a few designs out of Chanel “brought shame to their family”.

Not to mention the heart shape tote introduced last week, this so-called one indispensable bag in Fall/Winter 2009 of Chanel—Chanel Hobo Calfskin Bag Embossed With Chanel Signatures is exactly a negative example.

Although this time Chanel made some changes in the pattern, it yet looks like a dark big shopping bag or nothing remarkable. The embossed Chanel signatures have lost their purpose of adding saucy and chic and paled in the same dark and dull leather. The silver tone hardware also can’t aid this failure to show the contrasting color beauty of former and original monochrome. However, Louis Vuitton has successfully gained this kind of easy beauty with embossed signatures.

So disappointed!!! Anyway, if you support Chanel with a fever that borders in idolatry, this hobo can be some use. Dimensioned at W 18″ x H 12.5″ x D 4.5″, it serves you as a huge shopping bag for holding enough essentials.

A reproduction in red. The authentic bag crossed to prick on handles. This reproduction does not have any model on handles.

This bag looks authentic to me – it has crossed stitching handles.
