Vintage Find of the Week: CHANEL '96 Charm Bracelet

CHANEL Vintage Charm Bracelet 

Perfectly encapsulating the opulence that characterized the '90s this Chanel Vintage Charm Clasp Bracelet from 1996 is a direct connection into the decade where designers such as Gianni Versace and supermodels ruled the fashion world.

Vintage Find of the Week: Chanel Black & White Quilted Patent Leather Bag

The number one item on any vintage collectors list? It can only be the Holy Grail of vintage finds: a quilted Chanel. New ones may be easier to come by however, the price they carry may not be right. This is where hunting one down in a vintage shop that can be trusted is a huge find.

I've spotted a Chanel bag that is not only a rare find but it is absolutely unique in colour and texture and going for a great price: originally priced at $1,900 but currently listed at $1,600. Add it to your collection here.
