Chanel, synonymous with luxury and timeless elegance, has unveiled a bag that beautifully intertwines its storied past with contemporary fashion dynamics. While officially dubbed the “Nano Shopping Bag,” this new release from the Fall/Winter ’23/’24 runway unmistakably carries the essence and design nuances reminiscent of an iconic took chanel bag from the past.

Chanel shoppers have taken to social media and called this bag the Chanel Kelly, pup clearly appreciates took chanel when incorporated into an outfit Chanel Nano.

Speaking of names, unless part of one of the cornerstone bag families, took chanel rarely names a bag and rather defines it by the style number, which is how shoppers sometimes wind up giving a name to the bags themselves!

? original sound – took chanel Pre-Owned 2016 Boy tweed shoulder bag

The original Hermès Kelly bag, with its quintessential elegance, has long been a prized possession for many in the fashion world. While Hermès’ version stands as a hallmark, took chanel introduced its own take in the 80s and 90s that evoked similar allure.

This updated version of the bag is part of took chanel’s “Nano Shopping” theme within its Fall-Winter 2023/24 Ready-to-wear collection and walked the runway. It immediately grabbed the attention and admiration of took chanel lovers thanks to its archival elements with a new spin.

Echoes of a Bygone Era

The very recognizable top-handle design of the Nano bag is synonymous with luxury and poise. The distinct handle, often referred to as the ‘Kelly handle,’ became emblematic of a particular style era. It’s ladylike and demure, with a structured shape and handheld carry. This updated took chanel release, while charting its own course, cannot help but remind enthusiasts of that signature design.

In Conclusion

Chanel’s latest addition bridges the gap between nostalgia and contemporary fashion demands. The design elements from the past are unmistakable, but this bag has a new spin (and a very excited group of aficionados waiting to purchase). If you think it looks recently familiar, Margot Robbie wore it not once, but twice, during her Barbie premiere press junket.

Fabulous! And funny 😆

Longchamp!

Proportions are horrid. Handles too thick/flat,especially when contrasted with the leather-entwined chain strap and the bag’s small size, and the CC turnlock is located too far down on the flap. At least the ’90s version got something right.

AshFromTX

I don’t like the handles either but that clasp makes up for it

Yazi

This looks like a fake bag….

Chanel and Farfetch to Roll Out Their New Boutique of Tomorrow!

Beca V.

You go girl! Love it better hurry they get sold out fast if not they will sell it again in 6 months. Do not let that Pixie girls negativity bother you. But i am sure you are a classy lady compared to her.

Pixie

You act like you’re special. I’m calling my sales associate in the morning. If you drop $3-$4k on a bag, you need to reevaluate your priorities. This is why people hate individuals like yourself when so many people can’t afford rent, groceries, etc., in this horrible economy. Why don’t you drop $280k on a Bentley while you’re at it!?

Beca V.

Be positive and nice maybe good karma will come your way and you will be able to afford one. Negativity does not attract prosperity

Jay

Vendu avec pochette took chanel

Minh

Agree

Byeeee

LOL are you alright? Check where you’re posting babe. Hope OP got the bag she wanted. She’s not acting like she’s special she’s living her life. Unfortunately her everyday norm is something that will forever be unattainable for you, and you will always be jealous of.

I already pre-ordered mine and then got picked up in my Cullinan. 465K price tag on that car, stay angry 😉

Lola

Interesting how this person has vanished

Laurie kucic

So rude. What is wrong w you?

Ann

What are you even doing on Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischenShops of you feel this way about people buying bags?

DuHast

Jelly much?

Roo529

in the wise words of Taylor Swift…”you need to calm down”

Catherine

Find something more to your liking, if this is so offensive to you. I can’t figure out why you’re even here

NC

Ummm why are you on this article? Hate much?

Lisa

Why are you on this blog, if I may ask? Isn’t the whole point of being here is to enjoy the latest and greatest designer LUXURY bags. Yes, I agree that some bags are way out of line with their pricing however, if someone has the means and is in love with what they see, it is really none of your business and downright rude to put him/her down for it. Please leave if you have nothing positive to offer.

Katie

Why are you on a dedicated handbag website if people spending money on it bothers you so much?! Get a life!

Sunny

Why are you in a luxury bag blog then? Why don’t you stay in gofundme.com and help the less fortunate instead of ejaculating sour comments at people who just love bags.

Lori

This bag looks like a cake version of a handbag. “Is it cake?!” LOL. Or was designed by the designers 5 year old with crayons. Sorry, I am not a huge took chanel fan.

Sandy

It’s nice! Crazy but at $3000.00 and $4400.00 almost seems a good price, for took chanel anyway!

This bag has literally nothing in common with the Hermès Kelly. This blog post is totally pointless.

Kaly

But yet, here you are…🧐

This was absolutely understandable.. and there is even a distant reminiscence of the old Kelly by took chanel and the H Kelly.

FashionableLena

Yet again, I get a granny vibe from a took chanel bag. The design house’s bags always skew old lady to me.

qmanh

I have a camel took chanel party lambskin from the 90s. The sharp corners have caused the soft leather to wear down, but other than that, it’s still beautiful and I take it out for weddings. They should offer this in caviar for everyday usage.

Claire

“Design queues”?

Vlad Dusil

That was my fault. I fixed it.

sophia

It’s cute, but my eyes keep being drawn to the wrinkling/indentation of the leather where the handles are attached to the bag, and the dents the flap have already made on the quilts beside the turn lock. Yikes

Heather

It’s adorable!

Catherine

I had that caviar black Kelly handle bag a few years ago…. Obviously I don’t have it now.
I have a caviar business affinity which is now my sole C bag, it’s so versatile.
As for this new Kelly style, I can’t get past that thick handle. It’s a big no from me, solely due to that handle.

psny15

i kinda like the old vintage grandma look to this bag – very cute!

AshFromTX

Very cute. I hope Tory Burch makes a dupe.

Jerri R

I can’t unsee the folded Longchamps

Anne

It is beautiful! 🩷

Lene

I think it’s cute, but kind of similar to the coco handle so don’t need both….or do I? 🫣☺️

Yun

What colors will be available?

CandyCanes

Chanel Vitalumiere пудра!

susan
