The Chanel Mademoiselle bag
The ads, shot at Chanel’s historic Rue Cambon headquarters, are slated to break in April magazines. Chanel unveiled the Lagerfeld-designed Mademoiselle bag at its cruise show in last May in Saint-Tropez. The bag retails from about $2,000 to $3,300 at current exchange, with models in exotic skins topping out at around $30,600. The oblong-shaped bag comes in five sizes, each with Chanel’s iconic chain handle and quilted surface. A wide range of colors, finishes and materials are available, including jersey cloth, satin, calfskin, lambskin, alligator and shagreen.

How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming?,” she enthused. “A dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around.”
