Vintage Chanel Gold Bar Clutch

Posted: January 5th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Purses | Tags: , , , | 20 Comments »

Look at this clutch. Look at this clutch. Not only is it vintage Chanel, but it is beautiful, gold, and best of all, not tacky in the slightest. Could we ever expect Chanel to be? I think not.

But via vintage powerhouse What Goes Around Comes Around, Shopbop is again bringing in some unbelievable vintage Chanel with which to fill our closets. And this beautiful, queenly, sophisticated Vintage Chanel Gold Bar Clutch is absolutely no exception. Now, besides the fact that it oozes 50’s glamour more than a sponge oozes water, the size is of particular note.


Vintage Chanel Gold Bar Clutch
You see, this clutch is tiny. It’s miniscule, perfect for holding delicately in the palm of your hand. That unique tiny size for clutches is hard to come by this day and age, where massive envelope clutches are all the rage. See? The power of this clutch has even inspired me to rhyme, like a handbag blogger muse has touched me. But that’s quite beside the point. What is on topic? I really cannot think of any evening gown (or 50’s wasp waist dress, why not?) that this would not complement. Buy through Shopbop for $4,180.

    Gorgeous! I need the lifestyle to go with that clutch!

    Hmm…its cute and eye-catching, but I disagree a bit – I think it could easily look tacky if the wearer were not careful with the rest of the outfit.

    it’s not at all beautiful…monitored. Inappropriate contributions will be deleted.

    I love it! I can’t think of an outfit it wouldn’t go with.
    I think it would be nice if shopbop listed more info- like what year it was made, or how many were made. It would also be nice to see pics of the exact purse you are buying. I would be wary of spending $4K on an item I can’t even a picture of.

    This is stunning ! <3 I miss the teeny clutches, I still love my new patent tiny envelope clutch though.

    @ Kelly :: 2 ? Wow! :D

    Its absolutley beautiful. Sometimes I hate living in NZ as we miss out on all the great shops/boutiques that other countries have. But I won’t complain because there are 2 Louis Vuittons within a 3 hour drive from my house. lol

    love it!

    Thanks for the answer….appreciate it.

    It is pretty, but I have to disagree that it isn’t the slightest bit tacky. It’s a gold bar. Like villains in old movies tried to collect.

    Absolutely stunning!

    It’s authentic – ShopBop is uber reliable, I love ordering from them. It looks like they have 2 in stock currently (when you add something to your cart on ShopBop, change the amount to a higher number – I used 6 – and try to update it. It’ll tell you “Sorry, your cart cannot exceed X number of this item” And whatever that number is is the number they have in stock.

  19. 19 MRS TIPTON said at 12:05 am on January 6th, 2010:

    Can I ask a probably dumb question? Is it an authentic Chanel? How many do they offer–I mean, they obviously couldn’t have a warehouse full of them. (Thanks, Newbie here….)

    I bet it is unelievable in person.
