Best Investment Bag: The Most Exclusive Chanel Designs

Fashionistas/businesswomen come in many forms, with the spectrums of fashion varying vast in size, and this time we delve into a different perspective for clever investments via fashion.

Previously we reviewed the safest bets of the French firm Chanel, which were the most iconic and classic bags of the house and how these pieces improved their value over the years. This time, we review the most acclaimed pieces of the season and sought after by fashionistas around the world, some of these pieces have reached figures previously unimaginable.

Here are the most acclaimed by the audience:

  • Tweed flap bags

The tweed flap bags undoubtedly marked a trend of scandal! These models launched in the early 90s were a success in the French house. Vivid, neutral and warm colours worked in this mythical pattern of the brand and could be seen paraded by the most iconic women of the time.

Today these copies are resold at previously unthinkable figures, some reaching up to $25,000.

  • Back pack

These back packs were a hit at the time and their different successful designs in different colours, with patterns enchanted everyone to create timeless classics. From black lambskin, to emerald green and yellow tweed, both hold the classic essence of the Chanel! Currently the prices of these models range from $3,000-$24,000, depending on the model and its season. With their track record, it is to be expected that these timeless classics will only go up in price as the years go on.

  •  Denim Mania

 When we think of denim we can't help but think of the American 90s. A great era, especially for fashion collections. Chanel was, and remains to this day, one of the most desired. The most sought after and best valued models is the reliable back pack, the flap and we could never forget the top handle bags. This denim model is typical of the 97' season. Currently these models are resold for $14,000.

  •  Classic Bag

The classic bag, one of the most recognised by the brand. The successor to the classic 2 55, designed by Coco Chanel herself. We reviewed this model in the blog ‘Safe Bet; Chanel Classics’. Out of many to choose from, we will cover one of the most successful versions of this model; the metallic ones that were a ground breaking trend.

  • Chanel Heart Bag

The heart bag is one of those rare and exclusive pieces that has stood the test of time. With this particular model being so popular, the only option to acquire it is through second hand retail stores. This model became one of the most desired bags after the appearance of Kylie Jenner donning the black and white model. This is a truly highly sought-after and desired collectors item. Although it can be found in a few places, the prices vary a lot, the estimated amount is between $4,000-$15,000. It is currently on sale for sale around the $50,000 price tag. This has been one of the the highest figures ever seen for a Chanel bag. A more than worthy investment for the future!

Speaking of hearts, another of the models is new, belonging to the SS22 collection. In the parade we could see an ode to the designs of the 80s and 90s, now they are back and as trendy as ever. These models have aroused the curiosity of many people, and since October the waiting lists have exploded with popularity. Getting your hands on this bag will be a tricky task, but a very boastful investment for the future. This is undoubtedly one to watch out for. You don't have to be very visionary to see that this model will become the next collector's item.

- Lizard bag flap

The lizard shiny bag is another of the most valued and acclaimed elements by buyers and collectors alike. The French firm stopped manufacturing with exotic skins so that if you have any or can get hold of a piece from this range, it is a safe bet of an investment. Its value always remains high and its sale price too; in this case they reach up to $9,000.

- Chanel Pearl Flap bag

This is a recent model of the spring summer 2019 season. This incredible design drove everyone crazy. This is without a doubt a unique model in the house. Although another model with very similar pearls was previously seen, this was the one that captivated all eyes. The Pearl Flap bag is a model that consists of the iconic black classic bag covered in pearls all around. This piece was on sale for a very limited time, spending all the world stocks and now few have one in their possession and currently prices are around almost $7,000. Another timeless icon of the house to keep an eye on.

The rare and precious treasures of the Chanel house are vast and wide. We’ve barely scratched the surface of what has survived the test of time over the years. These are but a few of the many great investments out there.

Have you seen one that you wish to be yours? Our personal shopping team will advise you and find your bag with 100% guaranteed comfort. Do not hesitate to request our services, we are looking forward to helping you 24/7!

Versace BAROCCO GODDESS SILK MINISKIRT

A lavish baroque print is something of a calling card for Versace. Gently pleated, the Barocco Goddess skirt has a high-rise waist, side button fastening, and is made from silk.

Be sure to illuminate the room in this Versace mini skirt. The supermodels of the 90’s would've been proud to wear a mini like this, with well over half of the thigh exposed beneath the brief slip of fabric. Let your legs be the statement in this Versace miniskirt.

Oséree SEQUIN HIGH-RISE WIDE-LEG PANTS

These wide-leg pants from Oséree are ideal for slipping over the label's bikinis. The pool to party style is fully embellished with pink sequins and has a flattering high-rise.

This is an undeniably elegant piece tailored for the luxurious woman. Perhaps a piece best-suited to those that are bold and daring  looking to have fun with fashion. Pair these pants with a crop top, vest or bralette.

When it comes to summer style, less is more. French theorist Roland Barthes once concluded “Is not the most erotic portion of the body where the garment gapes?”. Barthes would be astounded by the amount of flesh on show, but you would surely feel your most illustrious. Short, sheer and sexy is ready to take its place this summer.

Get the Parisian Chic Look: Tips on Styling Like Emily in Paris

During these challenging times, we all needed a break from reality and a place to unwind and have fun. For me, that place was my cozy green velvet couch where I could escape to Paris with Emily. The release of the second part of Emily In Paris last year on December 22nd was the perfect opportunity to spend the day at home and watch Lilly Collins dazzling the streets of Paris in her exquisite outfits styled by the legendary Patricia Field.

Fashion enthusiasts may recognize the name Patricia Field as the wardrobe designer for Sex and the City and the recent series, And Just Like That. It's no surprise that the characters in Emily in Paris have equally iconic styles.

If you're a fan of the show, the Twenty4SevenTrends team has some total look proposals that we think you'll love. Check them out and enjoy your new Parisian-inspired style!

EMILY

I absolutely love the fashion in that series! There are so many gorgeous outfits, but one of my favorite characters is Emily, played by Lily Collins. She always has such bold and dramatic looks that are sometimes edging on tacky, but she somehow makes it all look chic. The main protagonist isn't afraid to experiment either, wearing standout pieces like tulle couture gowns, neon outerwear, fingerless gloves, and oversized frames. Some might say her fashion is absurd, but I think she has created a unique signature style that fans adore.

I absolutely agree, Emily's outfits are simply amazing! They are so full of life and color, and they make me feel like I'm walking down the streets of Paris. Fashion truly has the ability to transport us to another world and inspire us to dream big. I'm so excited to share some suggestions with you on how to get that stylish Emily look, no matter where you are in the world. Let's get started!

Emily Inspired Product Suggestions

SYLVIE

Sylvie is truly a remarkable character, portrayed impeccably by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. Her persona exudes sophistication and style that is synonymous with French fashion. It is hard not to notice her powerful presence, a true representation of an empowered woman who is not afraid to take on the world. Her attire is always on point, and her Louboutin heels add a touch of elegance to her already chic outfits. She is the epitome of a woman who is bold, fearless, and always dressed to impress. Sylvie reminds me of Samantha Jones, the iconic character from "Sex and the City," with her figure-hugging dresses, designer shades, and killer stilettoes. Sylvie is truly a fashion icon, and her style is something to aspire to.

It's true that we love Emily's explosion of color and shape, but who doesn't adore a good high heel together with a well-fitting and firm suit jacket? Silvie clothes speak for themselves, if we like something about her, it is that she makes us feel powerful and safe. If you want to feel just as powerful and keep your sexy side in the office, here are a few suggestions for you to get down to work!

Sylvie Inspired Product Suggestions

MINDY

Zipper heiress turned au pair Mindy is portrayed by the stunning Ashley Park. Mindy exudes an infectiously fun and loving persona, with a fantastic taste to match. Her love for music and super chic style make her a total fashion icon. She's always seen in the most lavish outfits, trimmed in feathers and sequins, making every day feel special. Mindy is truly an inspiration for anyone looking to add some excitement and glamour to their lives.

I am absolutely in love with the iconic style of the Chinese star of the series! The color definitely triumphs once again, and Mindy is truly a shining star in Paris. I can't wait to see what amazing looks she'll come up with next. And speaking of amazing looks, who else was blown away by Mindy's boat party outfit? I know I certainly was! If you loved that look as much as I did, then you'll definitely want to check out the products that we recommend below. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

New Year, New Wardrobe!

Do you wish you had a more simple wardrobe? Are you itching to get rid of old and worn-out fast styles, discarded seasonal accessories, and other disposable items? It's time to make a new start.

Many of us can now fill our closets to the brim without breaking the budget thanks to fast fashion.
And yet, how many of us find ourselves moaning in the mornings that we have "nothing to wear"?!

At TWENTY4SEVENTRENDS we want to help you curate a perfect for any occasion capsule wardrobe.

 

What is a capsule wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe consists of a small number of interchangeable clothing pieces that work well together. Classic pieces that never go out of style and are generally made up of neutral colours. A capsule wardrobe allows you to put together a range of ensembles with a limited number of items but don’t lose any of their wow.

 

Let’s create one.

The first step in developing a fantastic capsule wardrobe is to conduct a closet audit. Examine every item you own and determine what you wear frequently and what you never wear.

Ask yourself, "When was the last time I wore this?" for each piece of clothes. It won't be a terrific piece to add to your capsule wardrobe if you haven't worn it in a few months.

Consider your activities and way of life as well. This will provide you with valuable information on the types of clothes you wear on a daily basis.

Are you a stay-at-home parent? Do you have a 9-5 job? Are you working-out regularly? Depending on what you are doing with your time, you won’t need the same clothes.

After you've considered this, gather all of your favourite clothing items and consider why you like them. This will assist you in determining your personal style.

Here are some of our recommendations to get you going.

 

1. Blazer

 

2. Midi/Maxi Skirt

 

3. Platform Shoes

 

4. Knit Sweater

 

5. Logo Bag

 

6. Cashmere Co-ords

 

7. Leather Jacket

 

8. Trusted Timepiece
