Shanghai Surprise
It’s no secret that Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s love of chinoiserie ran deep. Chanel was eternally intrigued and inspired by China, from the art to the quilting to the Chinese Mao jacket (the purported inspiration for her classic tweed number).
For the Pre-Fall collection, Karl Lagerfeld tapped into Coco’s fascination with Shanghai, the city often referred to as the Paris of the East. Models strutted down the runway in modern styles such as Mandarin split-sided Qipao gowns, and were wrapped in deep lacquer-red embellishments and silk lining.
And one of the most exciting items to come out of this collection is the Shanghai doll bag. This small purse, sold exclusively in a limited number of stores around the world, is uniquely designed to look like a precious doll.
As one of the select retailers chosen to carry this bag, Hirshleifers is pleased to present the Chanel Shanghai doll bag. Because of the scarcity of availability, this bag is sure to become a valuable collectible. Stop by now to pick up your exclusive style.
