Chanel Launches “Unlimited”

chanel unlimited canvas bag.jpgChanel just unveiled a new line of bags and accessories under the label Chanel Unlimited.

The bags are made of a “glossy gray canvas material.” Though our first thought was, “These are totally Karl’s answer to Prada’s nylon bags. But worse, because they’re plastered in not just one, but many logos.”

You can have hobos, clutches, mini and maxi bags, even a large garment bag littered with words like “Coco,” “Paris,” “31 Rue Cambon,” and of course, “Chanel.” They feature “exquisite details” like inside pockets, leather reinforcements and invisible zip fastenings. Details that are, you know, so hard to find in other purses.

So essentially, they’re like LeSportsac with Chanel price tags.

Karl, how could you condone this?

I bet Karl is at home right now, laughing at the silly fools who would by this crap, just because he slapped the name Chanel all over it. Or at least I kind of hope he is.

I never cared for the Prada nylon bags, nor do I anticipate these designs will win me over either.

I've silkscreened LV paper bags - anyone interested?

The double C logo is classic and elegantly simple.

Plastering a plethora of label-related words everywhere is not.

Loathe at first sight. Karl, you know better- nobody needs a picnic season casserole carrier when we are on the verge of winter. Oh, wait...that's not an insulated lunch box-cooler-carrier??

okay, yes, ugly as everyone mentions. but imagine you are a rich wife or business woman and you're dressed in a as-chic-as-can-be-possible all black workout outfit to go to the gym and your daily outing to whole foods. now in addition to your spandex black pants (with the little slit up the back of the calf) and black strappy tank, you can tote around your shiny grey chanel bag for your "sporty" look. i kind of get it.

ew. STOP IT RIGHT NOW.

this looks like a foley& corinna rip off bag, similar to those faux werid Burberry bags with an off-tartan pattern and all the wrong shape, except its,Chanel.

whyyy?

another way for the label obsessed, clueless youth to show off their imaginary luxury.
quite honestly its a step down from the nylon "speical item" by marc.

It reminds me of Calvin Klein underwear, in bag form.
