in 2007, when i first entered the bag world, i was already 9 months too late to procur this beauty. this is a chanel blush patent jumbo and it got released sometime in february. i've never seen it in real life, but based on the pics i've stumbled upon, or more correctly, madly searched for via the web, the patent blush is a real gem. a nice feminine piece without being too pukey pink. that is what i think ok. anyways, it's an anomaly to me because i normally disagree with patent leather very much. i think patent looks like plastic and i don't want a plastic bag...i get a ton of those already when i go grocery shopping. i also disagree with too much pink. but alas, this blush is both pink and patent...i see broken rules all over the place for this bag geek.
one of the "dangerous" things about chanel is that they never repeat the same color. ok, black will always be black, white will always be white (though there have been variations in these also), and beige will always be beige (three signature chanel colors), but everything else always varies in shade. for instance, a red can have brown undertones or blue ones, etc....if you ever liked mixing paints, you know color combinations are endless and shades in color are truly diverse too. so given the gazillions of color mixing that could be had, chanel does not reproduce the same color on the same bags. once it's gone, it's gone.
nowadays, you may be able to find this patent blush on ebay once in a while. the bidding wars on them are pretty ridiculous too. and honestly, i haven't seen it in real life so i don't ultimately know. oh wells, it's a bag to crush on, but not one to procur. i think it's pretty darling though. *sigh*
