Chanel Vinyl Bag

Chanel Vinyl Bag

ShopBop continues to bring us a small, eclectic group of vintage handbags. What are we digging the most? The Chanel bags. Chanel vintage handbags show us that the brand is not only timeless but also that their designs continue to be relevant. The newest addition to the vintage collection at ShopBop is a Chanel Vinyl Bag which features signature chain straps with a clear vinyl body and interlocking black letter Cs at the front and back.

The reason this bag doesn’t do much for me is because I have never loved vinyl bags. If I wanted to own a vinyl bag, this could be it. I can picture pairing this bag with large oversized sunglasses and a casual outfit of jeans and a tee. In my mind it looks good. The other thing about a clear bag is to make sure whatever is showing through is not entirely awful. I would opt for oversized colorful pouches to be the innards which will show through with a little pop of color. Dimensions are 12.5″H x 16.5″L x 4.5″D. Buy through ShopBop for $2,860.

    oh yeah and the vinyl looks very weak

  3. 3 sam said at 4:34 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    almost 3000$ for a plastic bag..really?

    omg, pass! almost 3,000 on a bag that looks like plastic? so cheap looking…takes away from the brand’s prestige. if i saw it on the street i would think it was just a fake or something.

    agree – looks cheap & cheesy.

    I dont think vinyl should be this expensive.

    If any bag is going to be copied it will be this one…..vinyl is a fabric so easily available that the chinese factories will be working 24/7 to knock these out.

    Would I buy one? no…..I would rather invest in something more special.

    …perhaps if i had an unlimited supply of money…and nothing to buy…OH WAIT. that’s most definitely not the case.

    BUT, i can see the appeal for some people, like for the beach. and i’m definitely feeling the colorful inner pouches idea thing.

    i just know some crazy asian is itching to buy this bag.

    i would know. i’m that crazy asian in many other situations…

    but i won’t hate. i suppose SOMEONE took the time to design this thing…god knows why…

    AGAIN WITH THE VINYL bags waht is wrong with the brands prada did it i hate it unless you work as a sales associate at saks or neimans that ask SA to wear clear bags for security reasons there is no exuse for this it is horrible it is the death of true luxury and the abuse over logomania i mean not even at the beach straw bags are better than plastc please give the tacky plastic a rest

    Agree with the majority. This price is just ridiculous. Love the look of the bag. I kind of like clear vinyl bags in general, but I think it’s less than practical to use. If you’re going to spend that money on a bag, why not go for the classic Chanel flap bag?

    Well actually because she has an interior design company she was asked by Hermes to come up with a concept for their new store in Istanbul :) Lets hope she gets the commission.

  12. 12 Jane said at 9:03 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    Wow I can’t even imagine how amazing that would be to be invited to something as elite as a private Hermes sale. I had no idea that went on in this world. She should write an article or a book on her experiences.

  13. 13 MAGGIE (COACH ADDICT) said at 9:10 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    Vinyl bags and for $2,860, really is Chanel joking. Why do designers think that Vinyl bags are worth buying at any price by any designer… No way it is just cheap.

  14. 14 otter said at 9:13 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    I agree with the group. Looks cheap — in fact — looks like Canal Street/Chinatown/Santee Alley knock-off. Even if it isn’t.

  15. 15 Beth said at 9:34 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    Silly. That $2800+ could be spent on something so much more beautiful and interesting. It’s a glorified shopping bag.

  16. 16 Michael St. James said at 9:38 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    Vinyl bags are disgusting and for that price…this has to be a joke!

    HAHAHAHA!!! This has got to be a $3k joke, I would pay 40 dollars tops for it. Even at 40 dollars, I wouldn’t want everyone seeing my receipts and shopping lists on post-its and all the other stuff that makes it into my bags very quickly.

    And plastic/vinyl does last a long time but it discolors & cracks.

  18. 18 Diane said at 10:06 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    Looks like something that can be picked up at one of the “swap meet” type of events held in empty lots around big cities. Yuck.

  19. 19 MAX said at 10:26 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    Some people will buy it that $3000 plastic bag. Leather lasts for many years but PLASTIC last forever. like when all people on the world die this $3000 Plastic Chanel Bag still in this world. May be it’s a good investment but not for me for sure.

  20. 20 Ping said at 10:27 pm on December 30th, 2009:

    This is a joke. I never understood the vinyl craze and there were a lot of vinyl bags at the Neiman Marcus discount table a few seasons and still no buyers. Why? because as Paulina says, if I’m paying $3,000 for a bag, it better be leather. This is like the emperor with his new clothes. Chanel like many houses in the late 90’s and early 2000’s thought people would buy anything with the cc logos and maybe some did, but I wouldn’t call them good investments, esp in vinyl.
