The Sneakers and The “Wallet on chain” from Chanel

Chanel, in my opinion, never lost its path. It always kept its concept of elegance and class. Definitely a brand not affordable to everyone but one of the best if you would like to treat yourself  and invest money in quality and beauty.

These are the two pieces from Chanel that are part of my collection. They shine by themself, in my opinion and I always like to use them with a pretty basic outfit, to have them as the main characters of the look.

Both articles are definitely approved by me and I highly recommend them if interested.

To complete the outfit I am wearing a pair of cargo pants in black from Bershka and a grey single breast blazer with a straight cut from Zara with a neon green belt to match the colors of the shoes.

The Sneakers and The “Wallet on chain” from Chanel

The Bag

The bag is the classic “Wallet on chain” in black launched first in 1997. Extremely simple and versatile, considered a game-changer, that can adapt itself with every single outfit that you create. It’s definitely the best alternative if you’re in love with the classic Chanel rectangular bag but don’t want to spend that big amount of money.

This Wallet on chain is made with black lambskin and silver-tone metal on the outside and in burgundy color on the inside.. 

Can be worn in many different ways; it’s big enough to be worn on top of a coat ora a blazer but also small enough to be worn under a puffer coat or a jacket. 

Also a little beautiful trick that it has is you can wear it over the shoulder thanks to the long chain strap that it has but also to cross the strap in half to make it as a handbag.

At the inside it looks exactly as a wallet, meaning that you have the specific parts where you can put the coins, the cash and the credit cards but you even have extra space for your phone, keys and other few essentials.

Its measurements are: 12.3 x 19.2 x 3.5 cm/4.8 x 7.6 x 1.4 in

As of today the price of this bag is $2950/€2550 but, as experienced these past 2 years, there is a high probability that the price will increase even more.

The Shoes

The shoes were love at fist sight at the “Rinascente” shopping centre in Milan where the last pair available was exactly my size. Full of neon colors and logos are definitely one of my favorite pair of shoes in my collection. For me they are the perfect example of something beautiful and comfortable at the same time.

The shoes are first of all extremely comfortable. A pair of shoes that I could wear all day long and not get pain from.

They are made in white leather with the details in 5 different neon colors (Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Orange). Something that the fashion label made, and that I though was really nice, was to produce a certain amount of pieces and change the order of the colors between them. That means that you can also find the same model of the shoes but the position of the colors is different.

On the shoe tab they present both the brand name and the brand logo. The brand name is also attached letter by letter to the back of the shoes and the brand logo is engraved on the sole.

You still can find the same model but in different color and material at the official stores of Chanel at the price of $1,100/€950

If interested in this specific color I recommend researching them on vintage 

stores/websites since they are no longer available in this color in the boutique.
