Chanel Accessories / Jewelry

If they still haven't sold this necklace by the end of the season, do you guys reckon it would go on sale, or does some things like that not go on sale at all?

And if so.. how much off?

I want it so bad.. but my money situation is rather limited this month..

I think it cost like £500-600.

I did see Chanel costume jewelry on sale at the boutique Tuesday. There was nothing as good as that though.

Are those models? They look like people but like paper mache at the same time.

Im so glad mannequins now aren't so lifelike, that'd be creepy.

They are made of wax! Its stunning really. Dolls were made of wax then too.

I think the sale was about 40% off!! I saw a bracelet at regular $500(+-) and was down to $300. It mostly really springy things, bracelets/necklace sets with enameled colorful petite flowers.. or big big CC brangle bracelet type things too.. I didn't get very good inventory since nothing much was pearl, and I want some pearls too!

I dont like that print on the last bag, it's very cheap. The four-point flowers and Double-C just thrown around make me think of LV's trashy excess.

Maybe because Lindsay Lohan wore the dress made of that print, awful...not the dress...

^I think that print would be prettier on a top. Too much of it is off. I think the print looks very asian. Being that Japanese sales tripple that of allEurope, I think this is who Chanel is catering to now. I don't mind the four point flowers. They are not an LV thing, they are a french thing. It is a design seen everywhere in france. I went into churches with that painted everywhere in Paris. I think it's akin to a fleur de lis in some way.

It does have an Asian feel to it, mainly ultra-modern Japanese (Karlie was talking about how Tokyo is modern and old at the same time). The flowers very well may be a French thing but it is closely tied to LV, just like the horsebit, it's a common thing but it's closely tied to Gucci. I think Karl was trying to send a subliminal message to LV-Loving Asia.

i love these necklaces, anyone know approximately what they'd retail for?

Those necklaces are perfect! I looove the black one! I adore costume jewerly, and adore every single item posted althought the black neckalce about and the pistol necklace is my favorite!

 

[pucci_mama]

wow.. that picture of Anna, she is right for Chanel, pure elegance.

 

[rhiannonmars]

^ I sooooo agree. She is my idol. She is elegant but edgy. (Her films border on softcore p*rn I hear, but French, so that makes it better somehow)

Chanel Fall 05 accessories are now shown on Chanel.com. Fun!

Unfortunately all these Chanel cuff bracelets are an ungodly price of $3350. They don't even look that nice in person, just like cheap costume jewelry. To bad. I would have wanted one for ~$500.
