As an avid handbag collector, owning a Chanel bag is not only a dream, but a future reality. However, despite planning to make this dream happen, The timing has never felt right. There have always been other bags that seem more attainable whenever I resolve to make THIS the year. This has led me to put my dream Chanel bag on the back burner. My previous desire for a Black Caviar Classic Flap has evolved. It’s no longer just about owning a “classic”. Instead, I’ve adopted the mindset of “go big or go home” when it comes to my holy grail Chanel bag. My goal is to make a real statement with it, whether that means choosing a fun and vibrant color, a rare metallic finish, or a distinctive shape. The breathtaking gradient sequin bag from the Cruise 2024 collection has even inspired a whole new category on my Chanel wishlist. I’m seeking the sparkle and shimmer of sequins. When Megs shared some of her recent favorite Chanel purchases that tPF members made, it only further validated my love for sequin flaps. The sequin flap that made the list was appealing for its novelty and unique appearance. Seasonal novelties excite me. While Chanel’s enduring classic styles return year after year, I am consistently drawn to the allure of each season’s new colors and materials. In particular, I am captivated by the rare novelty bags released each season, especially those adorned with sequins. The recent cruise collection has been defined by its shimmer and shine, presenting playful logo bags and celestial mini bags that are embellished with stars. However, one specific bag has captured my attention and refuses to leave my mind; it is the multi-colored, rainbow small flap crafted entirely of gradient sequins. Because it boasts such a versatile range of colors, this bag has the potential to perfectly complement a variety of outfits and become the focal point when paired with neutral ensembles. Notably, non-leather novelty bags have begun to appeal to me for being more fun and slightly more affordable than their leather counterparts of similar size. The pricing of luxury handbags continues to inflate, making non-leather options not only enjoyable but also more accessible in terms of cost. For others who share my excitement for the seasonal creations from Chanel, I encourage them to join the ongoing conversation about the cruise collection. The chatter is happening now on tPF! If you’re like me and find yourself enticed by the idea of a novelty handbag, consider exploring Chanel’s gradient sequin small flap bag. Priced at $6,500, it offers a unique and vibrant alternative to classic leather styles.
