Accessories Megapost 2: Back to School Edition!

There's a new cultural phenomenon sweeping America... chances are, you've seen it everywhere. Billboards, newspapers, TV... even your kids are talking about it! No, no, we're not talking about High School Musical 2; it's Chanel back-to-school madness! For our second accessories megapost, we're bringing you precious vintage minipurses and backpacks for kids from 1 to 92.

UPDATE: Three out of five sold in 72 hours.... you have to act fast!

There's a certain je ne sais quoi about vintage Chanel quilted bags--we think the gold-toned hardware and sumptous leather only gets better with time. We bring it to you here in classic quilted ivory leather and a fascinating octagonal Mountbatten pink lizard! Both bags feature Chanel's signature gold CC logo and biker chain handles woven with leather. Now you can be one of the cool kids, ditching class to smoke cigarettes behind the cafeteria (what else fits in that little bag?).

Let's put on our parent hats, now. As cute as that little purse is, your student needs something a bit more practical for the first day of school. Decades has options that will dazzle the studious shopper with Chanel backpacks in three shapes and colors! The first is a simple but chic drawstring backpack in pebbled cognac leather, perfect for the blossoming equestrianne; it shows some slight marking but is generally in excellent condition. Second, a soft suede cocoa drawstring backpack with a playful tassel has just the right flair for the art department. Last, but gothically not least, a signature black quilted calfskin bag to keep your 4th grader on the bleeding edge of fashion.
