Meet the new love of my life! I am so in love right now. Chanel came out with the Round Bowling collection for Fall to lure a new generation into Chanel obsession. Although I am already Chanel obsessed, I sometimes find myself wanting something slightly younger and more casual. 
That is why as soon as I saw this bag, I knew it had to be mine. We are always preaching to invest in classics and this is a bag that is definitely a classic without the hard to wear formality of a totally classic bag. The calf leather is less precious but also makes it lower maintenance than the uber luxurious lambskin that scratches and stains easily. The stitching gives it the timeless touch, it is not quilted so it is less “stuffy” and more run around chic. It comes in 3 sizes but the large one is almost the size of a carry on at 9″ x 15″; there is also a cute little cosmetic bag in the collection. In either black, white or dark beige, you can be sure this bag will be a staple that will last you a lifetime. $2195 for medium, call Chanel at 800-550-0052 to locate a bag at the Chanel boutique closest to you.
As a side note, and I know a lot of people will accuse me of being a total party pooper but this is my Christmas present from my husband that I shopped for myself. Yes, I know I know, it takes the fun out of giving but the way I see it, I am saving him thousands of dollars on a gift that I may or may not like. This way, I get exactly what I want, he get’s to make me happy and it all works out!
i am loving this bag! at first i hesitated but when i saw it being carried..kinda hot..dontcha think?! be still my heart!
Um, no, you are NOT a party pooper. At this age, surprises are “Surprise, we’re going on a quick get away” or “Surprise, I flew in your best friend”, not “Surprise, I got you this ugly, useless [insert jewelry, clothes, bag, etc.]
I love this bag. The one featured in the advert with the model, is that small or medium?
Hi Chanel Fan,
The one in the ad is the medium.

This bag is fabulous but please do not encourage my Bag Snob partner to buy her own gifts!
Her hubby and I were scheming to surprise her for christmas as we do every birthday/anniversary/Christmas (and we usually do well if I say so myself, I’ve helped him get her a diamond necklace and a metallic paddington, amongst other fabulous gifts) but this year she went to Chanel and got the bag herself (well she put it on hold and ordered him to pick it up the next day). If she keeps this up, he will no longer try to surprise her with anything and then I will have to listen to her complain about it. She needs to do what I do, make a wish list and let him pick so at least he feels useful, as my hubby does 🙂
Hi Tina,
I am trying to decide whether I should get this marc jacobs stam bag (white) or the new Chanel round bowling bag in cream (similar to yours, but it’s a little bit different)? Would you please give me some suggestion ?
Thank you!
Tiffany

This bag is my style and this color is exactly what I need now! Complements on your fashion tastes!
Hello, could you please lead me in the right direction or web site in order to purchase this beauty? I can not seem to find it in the leather.
Is this bag still being sold I wonder?
Thank you,

Hi Sheila,
This bag is available at most Chanel boutiques. I just saw it the other day.
Love,

Please could you take a few moments out of your day to email me the information as to what Chanel boutiques still have this bag I wonder?
I called Chanel directly and they are telling me these’s bags are sold out.
I went on the purse forum and no one seems to be able to lead me into the right path. Please if you could please help me locate one of these’s bag I greatly would appreciate it so much!
