I am officially back from maternity leave! I of course have been keeping up on the great job Tina has been doing and her obsession with exotic is contagious! The first thing that caught my eye after having a baby is this Chanel Alligator tote in light green and thought that maybe I will reward myself for making a baby but then I find out that it is $39,500!! Chanel has been threatening to raise their prices on exotics for a while now and Tina and I kinda just thought it was a sales tactic to get us to buy on the spot but they’ve done it. And not only have they raised the prices, I feel like their skins are sub-par these days. I saw a 2.55 alligator recently that had really giant scales which in my opinion is not as nice, the size of the scales need to be proportionate to the bag. I would think it would be easier to get smaller alligators but this tote also has large scales and that also makes me hesitate. I saw the most beautiful blue flap bag at Chanel a few months ago for $15,000 (given it was smaller than this tote) which made sense but at $39,500 I would rather wait for a Birkin for $30,000 and is far and away a better investment than this bag. This alligator tote has not delivered yet but you can call Chanel at 800-550-0005 and they will have whichever store that gets it call you when it arrives.
