On Monday June 20th, 2022, in Yorkville Ave, two thieves saw an unattended Chanel bag while the client was in the restroom and cosmetic nurses were in the back.

The coveted Chanel Trendy was first spotted on the spring 2014 runway. The trendy is recognized by its “Chanel” top plate, top handle, CC clasp in the front, woven chain strap, three separated compartments and a back pocket. The Trendy was designed to be a working women’s go-to bag. It flew off the shelves on its initial launch, making it an instant success. It’s now considered a classic amongst the Chanel addict community. This bag is made in limited quantities. That means when shopping at the store there are very rarely any Trendy’s lined up on the shelf. Chanel only releases a handful of Trendy CC’s easy season, making it unique and rare to other Chanel styles. The Trendy is priced more than a Chanel 19 and Coco Handle. However, it’s still a lower price point than a classic flap. […]
Our Instagram is deactivated again! Last year, around the same time (October 2020), our account was disabled for the first time. The second time was the day before Black Friday, November 25th, 2021 around 5:30 pm. Our team was excited for our Black Friday Sale and getting ready for it when we were suddenly disabled from the IG world. On Friday December 17th at 6:07pm it was deemed a mistake on the account.

It’s Spring, and in spring 2017 the infamous Chanel Gabrielle bag was first launched. Gabrielle was targeted towards a younger demographic. It was designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld. His inspiration was Gabrielle Chanel. Gabrielle paid tribute to the founder and her constant desire to put women’s freedom first, freedom of style. The bag was said to be an effortless “it” bag with a contemporary twist. The bag’s shape takes inspiration from oculus glasses. The adjustable strap lets you wear it three different ways: over the shoulder, cross body or both at the same time. The Gabrielle received mixed reviews amongst Chanel fans, doubting the longevity of the bags’ style. The bag was well received amongst celebrities and influencers. The Gabrielle has become a staple in Chanel’s collection. Here are some Chanel Gabrielle Hobo Bags that we have in stock: […]
Mommy Bag (noun): Mary Poppins of bags usually contain diapers, snacks and everything you and everyone around you may need. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to have a kid to rock a mommy bag. How is a mommy bag different from a tote? I’m glad you asked. A mommy bag can be even a small bag that if organized correctly, can fit everything you could possibly need. A tote is usually larger and typically made of canvas, leather or any easy to clean material. These bags are perfect since they are able to carry all essentials while remaining stylish and elegant. The Birkin is the OG mommy bag – Jane Birkin originally used it as a diaper bag. Bags are meant to be enjoyed and used. If you are worried about them getting a little dirty, don’t worry, we […]

Does everyone feel busier in February than any other month? Maybe because it’s a shorter month. Since I survived the February blues and I feel like I have become a strong business woman – I’m going to need a new work bag to treat myself. I think you need to treat yourself too.

The only GST I like is the Chanel GST – not the tax, the Grand Shopping Tote. This tote was available in two other sizes: the Petite Shopping Tote (PST) and the Grand Shopping Tote XL (GST XL). The oldest GST first launched in early 2004, then it was reissued in 2010, and discontinued in 2015. The GST tote rose to fame in the early to mid 2000’s with the entire cast of The Hills, Paris Hilton and many other reality TV stars sporting the bag on their arm. There are two models of this tote; the original model style code was A20995, and the newer model ( the reissued one) style code was A50995. What are the differences between the two styles? 1. Its light as air This bag is extremely light and, considering its full caviar leather […]

If you don’t already have your hands on a Classic flap, the time to get one is NOW! The rumors are true, Chanel is set to have yet another price increase on November 3, 2021. That’s right only a few more days before we see another price increase! Following the major price increase that occurred on July 1st, November’s increases may just be as high. So hang onto your flap bags because the price increases over the past few years have been astronomical. Despite hearing many rumors circulating around, our information comes straight from the source. Chanel Sales Associates have confirmed the increases will occur. Unfortunately, that means Chanel Classic Flaps are almost the same price as a Hermes Birkin retail value. And with Chanel Classic flaps being harder to get these days in store, who says that we won’t be seeing […]
Influencers love documenting their lavish lifestyle, their expansive designer handbag collections and the world is clued into their lives which sometimes grabs some unwanted attention and puts them at risk of being robbed. In a recent event, Tamara Kalinić, who is a fashion influencer, was recently burglarized and this was not her first time. Imagine collecting unique limited edition bags for years and having that all gone in a matter of seconds while on vacation or out for an event. Her handbag collection was estimated to be worth over $500,000! Although they are just material items, there is still that financial and mental aspect that affects the victim. We see this now too often because of how much information people are posting publicly on social media. Here are some tips we recommend to prevent such incidents: Do NOT share real-time stories or updates. If you are on vacation, […]
