Chanel may be known for its timeless designs, but with the introduction of the kid Chanel collection, Chanel brings us a line that is both seductive and a minor change of pace. Unmistakably different, the collection strays from the quilted flap bags we have come to expect from the brand.
Made to be worn as a carry or cross-body bag, the kid Chanel collection holds close to the Chanel aesthetic while supplying an entirely different appeal. The designs are clean and bold, basic and appealing. In fact, the duality of the design is inspired by a cartridge bag that was originally made for hunters.
The kid Chanel is produced in three sizes, the smallest functioning as a purse and the largest as a tote. staying true to Chanel, the colors palette includes a flat red, deep black, intense grey, lead green, and clean ivory in glazed calfskin. price range is $2500 – $4300 and the bags will arrive in August.
Karl Lagerfeld suggests this with a new interpretation of boyish charm saying, “Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from kid Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, describes why the new bag is called the kid Chanel.”
