The Ultimate Chanel Travel Bag

It seems like with every trip I try a different bag in the hope of anointing it as the Ultimate Travel Bag. I’ve tried pretty much everything under the sun, of all sizes, shapes, and price points…to no avail. But a recent score from sale season may have changed all of that.

I actually stumbled into finding this Chanel bag by ordering one for a friend from overseas without the benefit of even a picture or style number to research; we were only given the dimensions and fabric (black or gray denim) and she was game enough to take her chances that it’d work out. When her bag arrived, I knew I had to scramble for one of my own. As much as I love her gray one, I think the black version is definitely more me.

It is super lightweight, can be worn messenger style when I’m darting through airports, and can hold all of my essentials (even my laptop).

Can’t wait to test drive it on the next trip. Love the quilted flap and bordeaux nylon lining!
