WHEN IS A TOTE NOT A TOTE, PART TWO

This is another tote that isn't a tote, but is a tote, so carry on, as Tim Gunn would say. A structured tote of black lambskin and iconic quilted jersey, this Chanel evening tote will not hold a Thermos, but it will hold a Lorenz Baumer designed Guerlain lipstick, a stack of Benjamins, and keys to a Park Ave apartment. There was a gold link chain attached to internal hooks at some point, but the chain has good "bye bye" and actually good riddance as a tote is meant to be "tote'd", n'est-ce pas?




Chanel mini leather and quilted jersey tote, c. late 1980s. 8" x 7 1/2" (including top of handle) x 2"
