Chanel’s Spring 2013 Press Day Presents Latest Bag Collection

The Paris Palais’ Royal was filled with giant turbines surrounding the catwalk where Chanel presented its fabulous collection of bags and accessories last October. Precisely because it is Chanel, those in attendance were easily bowled over by the accessories presented in the show but what set the crowd abuzz is the Hula Hoop beach tote which was begging to be tried on for size the moment it was paraded by the lanky models of Karl Lagerfeld. It is one of those “dare to wear” fashion statements which you either can or cannot carry.  Available in two sizes, medium and mini, these bags are surprisingly practical and can be worn perfectly on your wrist. These bags finally reached Chanel’s New York headquarters and the media denizens were given a chance to see the fabulous accessories up close and personal. The hula hoop bag greeted visitors as the elevator doors opened.

Box clutches that looked like Crayola-colored Lego bricks were another interesting part of the collection which also created a ripple during the fashion presentation in October at the Palais’ Royal in Paris. The colors were bold and trendy and can be a major fashion hit among the street style brigade. These boxy bags have been nicknamed Boy Brick clutches or Lego bags.
