Classic Chanels: Sizes, Dimensions And Prices

After much reading and researching, I made up my mine to come up with a proper entry for Chanel handbags which is specially dedicated to Fashion Forward visitors and customers. These are all the classics and might be useful to those who are still wondering on which one should they get for their first Chanel collection :)

Unfortunately, I will not able to spill out the price details here in this very entry. I have them available with me and should you think you want them, do email me k? :) For the time being I'm still in the midst of gathering the price list in Ringgit. Once I have all the updated price (UK and Malaysia), I will update this entry and make a price comparison here..

For a start, let us go into details on the sizes and dimensions. For the prices, it varies from one country to another. But I must really confess that the price in Malaysia is far more expensive then the price over in the United Kingdom (of where I got all my bags from). For these classic designs, there are two types of materials, the lambskin and the caviar. When touched, the lambskin material is very soft buttery with smooth texture meanwhile the caviar is a hard textured leather with dots and grain-like feel. Some might say that Caviar is much easy to take care and handle because it is not as high-maintenance as the Lambskin. I have my Chanel Petite Shopping Tote in caviar as my first Chanel because of this reason (and plus they don't actually have it in Lambskin). But I would love to have my next Chanel in Lambskin simply because of the soft and smooth texture. I might have difficulties in taking care of it, but as they cost a lot to me, I'll make sure that they are kept very well :)

Price wise, the Chanel bags in Lambskin cost a lot more than the ones in Caviar. But this is no longer true as Chanel has increased the price for Caviar so that the price are totally equal for both Lambskin and Caviar (why wouldn't they lower the price of Lambskin right? It work the same way too :D)

I believe there are many other Chanel bags but for a start learning about the basic Chanel bags should do for the time being. If you would like to go into details, I'm sure you can definitely expand your research at the nearest boutiques. The SA will be happy to entertain you (that's what I have experienced back in the UK).

I'm sure there are many Chanel lovers out there who would like to get a specific bag at a reasonable price. I am glad to announce that Fashion Forward do take orders for any Chanel bags (including other brands as well) all the way from London,UK. I can guarantee that the price is obviously cheaper than all the boutiques in Malaysia. All you have to do is just email me the design that you would like to have and I will then quote you my best price :).
