Chanel Rubber Effect Python Signature Tote

Posted: January 22nd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Purses | Tags: , , , , , | 11 Comments »

Before we go any further, does Chanel’s website make anyone else sort of dizzy and motion sick, or am I just way too sensitive to that sort of thing? Websites where brands make their bags run frantically from side to side make my head spin, and that website structure makes me find something else to look at almost immediately.

In this case, however, I persevered in order to find the Chanel Rubber Effect Python Signature Tote. Was my nausea worth it? I think it was, but then again, I do have an unnatural affinity for everything black.

There’s just something so thoroughly Chanel about an exotic black bag. They use the color to greater effect than probably any other major designer, and the python gives the bag a thoroughly luxurious appeal that the brand’s customers expect.

I haven’t seen the bag in person, so I can’t comment with full knowledge about the rubberized finish, but the matte effect is a welcome change from the python that I normally see, which is almost always glossy. Flat black has an edgy, modern quality to it that the brand’s bags have lacked over the past season or two (at least in my estimation), and the finish might have done a bit to make the delicate scales more durable as well. Now that is killing two birds with one stone. More information available via Chanel.com, price available upon request.

    I agree about Chanel’s website. I hope they change the layout. It drives my eyes crazy!

    I have a question: IS PYTHON SKIN HIGH MAINTENANCE? How is that?
    Thanks in advance! :)

    First I couldn’t agree with you more about Chanel’s website. I had to stop looking at it because my eyes always hurt and my tummy uneasy. However, this bag would be worth the risk. I adore the matte finish to the python it is such a nice change to the over the top glossy finish that we are all so used to seeing. I also enjoy the small logo I cannot stand logos all over bags. Chanel tends to splash their logo all over their bags so this is a great change of pace.

    I don’t wear or carry exotic skins myself but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the beauty of this bag. Amanda, I totally agree about the edginess of the matte black. I love the effect. It’s very understated. What are the dimensions?

    i like, but i wish the strap was longer…. this doesn’t look like it would fit comfortably on the shoulder.
