Chi City Closet: My First Chanel Bag

Yes, I have finally purchased my very first Chanel bag…I haven’t been this excited since my first PS1! Something I’ve always dreamed about, I am thrilled to have my first Chanel bag be such a unique find. A soft quilted material in a stunning royal purple color, I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Where did I find something this fabulous? I bought it on consignment from eDrop-Off. Browsing the website daily, I come across so many amazing pieces, including an always incredible selection of Chanel. I have never encountered such an amazing Chanel bag before, so I knew I had to have this one.

Rebecca Minkoff’s Mugly Bag Contest

We’ve heard of ugly, and even fugly…but what about mugly? According to the team at Rebecca Minkoff, a Mugly Bag is “an unpleasant or repulsive item used to carry or store mom things like checkbooks, coupons, tissues and Carole King CDs.” If you or someone you know suffers from owning a mugly bag, and you would like to benefit from it, please continue reading…

If your mother has a Mugly Bag, snap a photo of her wearing it and submit it to Minkette.com for a chance to win her a new bag. For being such a concerned son or daughter, they’ll send you a new bag as well!
