I know I’ve already talked about the latest Chanel bags for Spring and Summer 2009. But that was just the pre-collection. Here are the latest bags for Chanel’s Spring and Summer collection…
The first bag is a white bowler bag which I absolutely find better than the old Cambon bowler. But again, being that it is white in color, I have to pass on this one.

I am loving this Chanel bag below. This is like a recreation of the jumbo or large flap bag with a mix of portobello style without the bag in a bag feature. I say if you want a small/medium-sized flap but also want the style for an everyday bag, get this one for your everyday and the classic Chanel flap for your night outs.

This is not your usual Chanel classic flap. This classic flap bag takes a different twist with a hand painted color of pink and white. If you’d ask me, I’m pretty scared about the paint… color transfers? Oh no. Hopefully not.

Oh the gorgeous white extra large flap bag… I am loving it. But again, even if white is actually my favorite color, I am afraid to buy such a delicate and expensive bag coz I might ruin it! Pretty scary if you’d ask me. I don’t want to say goodbye to three thousand dollars!

Another everyday black bag from Chanel is this one. I’ts pretty simple so I think I’ll just have to pass. It’s not my style.

This shopping bag among the rest of the shopping bags Chanel is releasing this season is quite intriguing. I mean, I haven’t seen it in real life, but, do I really want to buy a Chanel shopping bag? I don’t know. I’m not so much into this bag. First of all, it mimics a shopping bag which is kinda weird coz I don’t want to be carrying a shopping bag if it’s from Chanel - I want a handbag… unless… I have loads of money that I can afford this Chanel bag - to really use as a shopping bag, aside from another handbag that I carry. Second, I don’t want the big screaming letters out there. It’s like announcing to the world that I am carrying a Chanel, especially now that we are in a recession.

This is a big no for me. I may be bold in some of my choices but this is not one of them. However, I know some celebrities who can pull it off. After all, I dont have extra moolah to buy such statement bags. I can only go for the basic and classic ones for now.

This denim Chanel bag is on the border of me liking and not liking it. For one, I love that it’s denim - a great everyday bag - shopping bag - spring bag - summer bag - and it’s not leather (for those who are conscious about excessive use of animal products). But the thing is, if I’m an ordinary person who doesn’t know the seasonal bags from Chanel other than their classics and I see a lady carrying this in the mall, I might actually think it’s not an authentic Chanel. Pardon me but I guess I need to see this first in real life before I make any conclusions.

Another fabulous fabric tote with sequins is this Chanel shopping tote. Again, if I have the extra money, I’ll buy this. Hehe. It’s a great bag to bring with anytime anywhere. You can go from shopping to dinner to watching movies with your friends. It can also be a great mom bag - enough room to put your kids stuff.

Another white Chanel bag… Like I said, I’m scared of my fave color when it comes to big and expensive bags. I just have to say that an everyday bag shouldn’t be high maintenance. A black, brown, or dark color will do for this style… but again, it’s too simple for me. It’s not my style.

Another cute clutch. Again, if I have the extra cash, I would consider it because of that extra coin purse. But other than that, I still prefer the classic Chanel clutch.

Another one of the Chanel shopping bags… This one reminds me of perfume/jewelry shopping bags…

This one is a classic small shopping bag… like when you buy a shirt or a short dress or undies. Hehe

A classic flap bag with hand painted design… A bit edgy/rock glamour-ish take on the classic flap bag - I say yes to this if again I have loads of moolah to spend.

A different take on the classic flap. This one is two toned - which I am loving… BUT… a big NO to the shape! The moment I first saw this, I immediately thought of wine bags. If it were made into a square like the Chanel Grand Shopping Tote (GST), a wider rectangle like the Petite Shopping Tote (PST), or like the Chanel Portobello tote shape, I would have probably added this bag to my list of wants. But if it is this small, I’d have to pass for now.
