Chanel Paris Byzance Is Fashion Bag For Luxury Women

By Sunday Lee


For every season, Chanel handbags generously offers not one handbag collection but two. You get the regular collection bags, which are always luxurious and highly detailed in their own right, and then you get Outstanding Pieces, which are on a whole different level.

These are the jewel-encrusted exotic bags that would turn your heard so hard that you'd have to see a chiropractor, should you encounter someone toting one down the street.For the Byzantine-inspired Chanel Paris Byzance Pre Fall 2011 collection, Karl Lagerfeld pulled out all the stops to create a gilded, ornate collection of crocodile, python and cabochon.

These designs aren't for a shrinking violet, but even lovers of statement pieces should be careful; these bags may result in a shrinking wallet. Even though Chanel is a brand with a rich history and plenty of iconic aesthetic elements from which to draw, I think we all get fatigued of flap bags and black and ivory color schemes after a while.

Because Karl Lagerfeld is a man worth his enormous paycheck, he seems to be able to sense that feeling within his client base and zig when everyone expects him to zag, which has lead to a freshness and creativity in the past several Chanel collections that continues to delight me.

On Friday, we introduced you to the Outstanding Pieces range from Chanel Paris Byzance Pre-Fall 2011. Today, we've got the regular line of handbags, which are pretty great themselves. There's a lot of Chanel in these bags, more so than in the Outstanding Pieces, and certainly some of them are bread-and-butter sales leaders. But the change in tone that they, along with the bags from the two preceding seasons, represent is a smart and welcome one, even if it's subtle.
