Chanel’s Japan Bag at Isetan
Wow, talk about Big Game Hunting. Still amazed that YYC was fortunate enough (hey something has to go right this jaunt) to nab that coveted CC ‘Japan’ bag–seemingly as scarce on the the ground as a gaijin at an Hokkaido Onsen (thanks to the former David Aldwinckle for that) and totally unavailable in the USA. Trust me, I tried…
As Eiko (our full-fledged fashion genie) unveiled this white and red perforated tribute to the land of the Rising Sun, we speculated our 50/odds that our order was fulfilled. The kami of handbags smiled upon us and 280,000 YEN later, we disembarked from our Isetan Odyssey with a souvenir worth the rencontre. Arigato Gozai Imas!

This IS a rare bag and quite a find. I’m in the swing of things and I’ve never seen it, even in a print ad. I don’t say that too often. Enjoy it! Wendy

replicas are tricky and some don’t hold up (one of the reasons that they are fabricated cheaply) Of course, who wants to really pay $3K for a cc bag? Have you considered consignment stores? I will be honest, for a fraction of the real bag, but double the copy price, you could get something that is supported by the company and used gently AND legal. I mean, yeah, I’ve gotten copies….and used them one month, voila BROKEN. So, maybe if you double the price you could get a staple piece for your wardrobe that can be refurbished by the company (sometimes FREE–but, don’t buy white….chanel will no longer refurbish it….if you can believe that….sort of a corporate command decision that is not publicized based in ‘03. I suggest Joy at Deju Vu in Palm Beach. They get an amazing assortment and if she states it’s legit, well, it is: 1.541.833.6624. I’ve acquired some of my best bags there! Good Luck
