Chanel’s Metiers d’Art collections are usually inspired by a foreign city, but for 2017, the brand stayed at home in Paris

Plenty of large fashion brands are associated with Paris because it’s their city of origin, but perhaps no major brand is as closely associated with the Parisian aesthetic as Chanel. That’s in large part because Paris-based founder Coco Chanel has been a style figurehead for generations of women, but also because the modern brand leans into the associations, in its products and beyond. That’s especially true of Chanel’s Metiers d’Art Paris-Cosmopolite 2017 collection, which just hit stores.

Chanel’s annual Metiers d’Art collections serve in place of what most design houses refer to as pre-fall, and they’re meant to showcase the particular skills of Chanel’s artisans, often through exquisite embellishment and finishing. The collections also usually draw heavy inspiration on an international city, but this year, Chanel Bags 2018 Prices stuck close to home and celebrated Paris with a collection that includes at least 90 bags.

If you’re a longtime Chanel lover, there’s plenty to love her: the collection is mostly classic shapes in special versions, including tons of sequins and plenty of exotics. Check out all the bags and their prices below.

Last year, a friend who works for another industry website contacted me about where you could really find a black Chanel Bags 11.12 flap bag to purchase in nyc. This buddy works in the business and knew where to call to inquire about the bags, but the proverbial closets were bare. When Megs purchased her Reissue 2.55, she needed to make more than one stop to find it. Still another friend in the sector ended up buying a gorgeous teal Classic Flap when shameful, which was exactly what she believed she desired, wasn’t in stock. Even though the struggles to get a Chanel bag aren’t as mythical as the ones chronicled by Hermes clients, it’s still fairly difficult to lay your hands on the Chanel flap bag you’re looking for, and to get a great deal of customers, making the search even more rewarding.Not attempting to pay whole price? We don’t blame you. Since Chanel bags have existed in some of the same versions they’re currently for decades, it is not that hard to find a pre-owned variation in good shape for a cheaper price, provided that the bag is not from the last couple of years or even a limited edition. There is likely a luxury consignment shop in your area with some options, as well as internet specialists like Heritage Auctions and Everything Goes Around Comes Around in ShopBop.It’s easy to become cynical about fashion, especially when it’s a market that you practically live in, but there’s just something about Chanel that feels special no matter what. Even when I do not like a particular design or collection, the organization’s setting is simply about as intoxicating as branding can get. I don’t understand exactly why, because Karl Lagerfeld frequently veers into ridiculousness, but then again, maybe that is exactly it. Chanel is frequently discriminated, and there is still value in that when it comes to luxury.
