| 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. |

| I am glad to present fashion lovers the latest handbag collection by the master of leather accessories, handbags, shoes – Louis Vuitton. The name of the collection is quite unusual and beautiful the Monogram Idylle. |
 |
| Fashion critics consider the collection to be a copy of Mini Lin, but a completely reinvented one. In comparison with a Mine Lin line this one is far more durable, comfortable to wear and body friendly. Louis Vuitton designers used a combination of linen and cotton with a symbolic monogram on a hard-wearing but light jacquard. Gorgeous contrast is created by a combination of calfskin leather and golden colored hardware. Every item presented by the French fashion house is awesome, luxurious and trendy. So let’s take a closer look at some of them. |
 |
| Romance is a perfect bag for city lifestyle. It is elegant and practical at the same time. The bag is available in three color option: Encre, Sepia and Fusain. The next creation is Elegy. The bag is excellent both for everyday use and for traveling. By the way, the collection includes a series of stylish luggage bags as well. You can see some of the below: Epopee, Speedy 30 Bandouliere and Speedy Voyage 45 Bandouliere are worth praising. |
 |
| My attention was driven by an awesome tiny keys pouch. It is only 5.1 in wide and 3.1 in high. The key pouch is sold in three colors: Encre, Fusain and Sepia. That seems to be the best option for both a small walk in the park near the house and for a party. |
  |
| And one more thing that completely charmed me is Sarah wallet. A blend of calfskin leather finish and metallic hardware makes me go crazy. Perfect size, perfect color, materials, design…everything. |
| Louis Vuitton designers again did their best to charm and conquer fashion audience. |

| The history of Celine has gone through lots of ups and downs. Lately everybody seemed to forget about the French brand, and passed some time the brand is on the pick of its popularity. The point is a new designer Phoebe Philo revived the French luxury brand and returned it past prestige. |
 |
| Lately Celine presented a new collection for Spring – Summer 2010 that is called Luggage Handbag collection. You can see that Phoebe Philo has done her job perfect, and who knows, maybe she will be able to make Celine one of the most prestigious brands. Now I suggest that we take a close look at the collection. |
 |
| Luggage Handbags are quiet and luxurious, spacious and stylish. All bags are very similar to each other. What differs is material and colors. The designer uses a wide range of fabrics – from reptile leather, baby Buffalo and Mongolian lamb to soft and traditional suede. I am also very pleased to see both vivid and quiet colors, which makes to possible to match the bag with your style. Most bags are classic combinations of two colors as black and white, for example, and tri-color versions as well. The Luggage handbag is available in diverse sizes: mini, medium and oversized. |
 |
| Construction of the bag is a signature of the designer. At the front part there is a zipped pocket, a leather butterfly detail at the back, leather shoulder handles, an exquisite curved seam at both sides. The bags are supposed to be rather heavy but in comparison with Birkin or Chanel they are average. |
 |
| And the last but not the least detail. The Luggage bags cost as much as $ 1,700. Some say it is pricy, others are ready to buy it right away. Anyway, Celine Luggage handbag collection S/S 2010 definitely stands out. |
