Chanel Timeless Clutch

Chasing after each season’s most coveted ‘it’ bag is often an exciting, tricky venture~ you embark on a quest to secure yourself that handbag raved about by fashionistas across the globe and present in every fashion magazine.  Though acquiring the latest it bag has its plusses, it's sometimes safer and easier to simply stick to the classics, investing in a piece already proven to withstand the test of time.  Chanel has a knack for crafting timeless keepers, and one of my favorites is the half-moon timeless clutch.    

I'm often plagued by buyers regret, but not for this purchase!  I love the shape, size, and versatility of the clutch.  Ideally shaped (somewhat like a Chinese dumpling), it’s large enough to hold my everyday essentials, but small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of my hands.  When considering versatility, the timeless clutch complements everything in my closet~ from jeans till cocktail dresses.     

With all these plusses, it’s just a matter of picking colors and leather: (lambskin, caviar, patent).  Lambskin, thou softer and more feminine, scratches easily, and wouldn’t be suitable for everyday use.  Patent leather’s young, fun, and durable, but smudges, and isn’t ideal for something I’ll constantly hold.  With that in mind, I opted for a black, caviar, clutch with silver hardware.  The clutch is the epitome of all things Chanel~ simple, classy, and versatile.

However, lately, when I see Chanel, all that comes to mind are frequent price increases, so if your riding the fence, debating on whether or not you should get this bag, run to the store now before the next price increase.
