When I graduated from law school to take a low-paying, socially profitable job, my aunt gifted me with a beautiful lambskin 255 Chanel clutch purse. It was purchased during a trip abroad at Chanel Paris. Entering the shop was an experience in itself and I fell in love with this little bag. It was absolutely gorgeous, the leather is supple and the exterior is a very slightly metallic gray that shimmers in the light and receives many compliments. Ten years later, the purse remains without flaw. The leather only gifts softer and looks better with wear. The interior is still a rich, beautiful black with little CC details absolutely everywhere. My only regret with my favorite handbag is that it is so very small my wallet and keys alone fill it up. Yet, I carry it with pride and with pockets full of all the other things I need to carry, like my cell phone!
