A bag-shaped lovestory. There are many wonderful love stories out there and many broken hearts, for sure. You could say the streets are full of breakups, reunions and lover’s oaths. And sometimes love can come in form of a handbag, tangling from your arm…
The story of this Chanel Jersey Bag is both weird and special. It all started with a goosebump causing invitation to the Chanel Haute Couture Show in Paris. Usually I’m not the typ of girl who automatically wears the designers to the show I’m invited to, but this time it felt right and my search for something Chanel began… I didn’t own anything from the French Powerhouse yet, so I’ve asked my friends from Vestiaire Collective if I could lend a bag on this occasion. I could, but the bag arrived too late for the show. Bummer. But at least I got it for the rest of my Parisian adventure and I immediately fell in love. I wanted something timeless, decent and sophisticated and this Flap Bag with silver hardware was just perfect!
I loved it so much that I even had a look at the Chanel Boutique in Avenue Montaigne to see if I could maybe find the exact bag. Nope. Sold out. No matter what the lovely saleswoman showed me, from chevron to special boy editions, I couldn’t stop dreaming of this soft cotton bag. However, we’ve spent some wonderful days together but then it was time to say goodbye…
But still, I could not forget my Parisian lover (= the bag) and started saving money. And then, in December, I randomly asked the Vestiaire Collective PR if she had a clue if the bag was still available… and it was!! Lucky me!!! She then gave me the reference number for the bag and I sent an offer. The rest ist history. So now we are happily reunited and I’ll always remember how special our lovestory is. And that’s how every investment should be.
