Chanel Cocoon Handbags: Vanessa Paradis vs Lilly Allen

Once in a while Chanel fashion house launches a series of bags that are cheaper than its usual lines. As a rule such lines have no great success but where rules are, there are always exceptions. The latest bag Cocoon collection comprises of a series of travel bags, reversible handbags and other leather goods made generally of lambskin leather or nylon. Handbags, purses and keys pouches feature a puffy finish, metallic zippers, a usual label and casual look. The start price for the Chanel Coccon items is $ 400.

From the very beginning the face of the Chanel Cocoon Collection was meant to be Lilly Allen, Karl Lagerfeld himself shot a series of hot photos where Lilly looks like Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Lots of fashion connoisseurs considered the idea rather inappropriate. Classy can never be equaled to trashy style; that is like a sort of a joke.

For this or that reason, lately the decision was changed, and for Chanel advertising campaign was invited Vanessa Paradis instead of Lilly Allen. Now Chanel Cocoon bag collection is presented by fabulous black and white pictures of the singer, actress and famous French model.

You can see in the pictures that Vanessa Paradis is fully dressed in Chanel clothing. She looks fancy, stylish and nice. By the way, Chanel already cooperated with Vanessa in Chanel’s Rouge Coco lipstick campaign. According to Karl Lagerfeld, Vanesa is perfect to work with, so why change?

The idea of the advertising campaigned for the Chanel Cocoon collection is that all the bags are classic, stylish and roomy, just what modern women need for their active city lifestyle. Like any other ad campaign by Chanel, this one is based on a fabulous blend of simplicity and beauty that drive reader’s attention to the bags and style.
