    is this made out of any leather, I’m a vegetarian but I’d love to own a bag like this.

    Amanda, I actually like the color and the dull sequins. If I were to buy a Chanel bag tomorrow, it wouldn’t be this one but it’s still cute!

    Jen is correct. There is a press release with the powers that be saying that Chanel will raise its prices about 20%.
    Paillettes are cheap and can be bought at any Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. The bag isn’t so bad, but I hate the color. One has to be very careful when choosing to use this type of sequins. They can easily become cheap looking. This looks cheap.

    $6000 is insane for what essentially looks like a sequined covered hybrid of the classic flap and 2.55 reissue. I mean $4000 for lambskin is already crazy (but whatever, I fell for it so I can’t complain too much, right?) but an extra $2000 for green plastic is beyond my comprehension.

    Chanel’s pricing is crazy. From what I hear, I think that most prices are going up around 30% in August.

    Maybe it looks better irl.

    I stopped trying to parse Chanel’s pricing structure long ago. Whenever I tried to make sense of it, it made my head hurt.

    I was a little surprised myself when I called Chanel to get the price. I expected maybe $4000-$5000. But just like any astronomical price for a handbag, there’s probably no real reason that it costs $6k instead of $4.5k, except that devoted Chanel customers with a lot of expendable income are willing to pay $6k. That’s all the reason the company needs, most likely.

    it looks like it’s made of cheap green sequins. I cannot tell but I don’t like it anyway.

    im just going to ignore the price, pretend its like, an $800 bag, and say that this chanel is my favorite in a VERY VERY VERY long time. its super gorgeous! idk why but i love it over any other bag i have seen in a very long time.

    At $6000 it does need an explanation. What is it made of, why 6k. Maybe my computer fails because it just looks like a green Chanel flap
