Love Handbags for life...

Now I have been intending to lend my pen to the latest Chanel handbag collection for some time. In some details the Chanel handbags remind me a lot of the Marc Jacobs collection – the most obvious aspect for me is the quilted look many of the Chanel handbags share with the Marc Jacobs collection – or in fact many designer handbags this season.

On the Chanel website the 2008 handbag collections are split into four: The “Spring-Summer 2008 pre-collection”, the Cruise 2007/2008 collection, the “classics collection” (which I am not too keen on) and the normal “Spring-Summer collection”. I imagine the pre-collection is kind of the spring 2008 handbags collection and the normal one is really the Chanel handbags summer 2008 collection.

In the 16th century bags got a more practical role. Simple bags were made from leather and travellers wore large cloth travel-bags that were worn over the shoulder.
