Chanel Fall 2010 Cocoon Bags

Now that Chanel has permanently added the Cocoon collection to its lineup of bags, they’re finally experimenting with some unique fabrications and color combinations for fall. First up is this STUNNING Coco Cocoon bowling bag: it’s based on the premise of the classic bowler’s shape but fashioned in waxed soft alligator with leather trim and white metal accents. Yes, it’s beyond expensive ($52,260) but oh-so worth it if you have the funds. The second bag I love from the fall collection is the Coco Cocoon handbag in a petrol blue orylag fur with lambskin and white metal accents ($7,295). It’s clearly more fashion-forward than the first bag I highlighted, but I love it for its unique combination and color. Both bags have plenty of room for everything, but what I love most are their big, thick handles that give the bags a casual feel to them–perfect for weekends or as, dare I say, the ultimate gym bag.
