FASHIONTRIBES TIDBIT: Chanel's Craftsy Chic Works in Anything from Accessories to Home Decor. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG & PODCAST
Even if the Chanel bags are too kitschy for your taste - especially at Chanel prices! - the idea is is a good one: wearing something unique that obviously came into contact with human hands at some point - both yours (from whatever trim you add) & those of an artisan or small, independent designer.
It's also a fun, cross-decade romp, with the psychedelic grooviness of the 60s, embellished & craftsy hippie denim of the 70s, and clusters of statement pins from the 80s.
