Chanel Outstanding Pieces

Chanel Outstanding Pieces

With every collection that CHANEL releases, the brand also releases a capsule collection of what it calls Outstanding Pieces! As you may already know the pieces are exactly what they sound like – special or very exotic in some way that sets them apart from the rest of the collection, both aesthetically and in price. The best example of the separation is Spring 2012′s pearl-dotted sea shell clutches, at a whopping £35,000 a piece.

Maybe it’s the afterglow of that collection that makes it feel a bit lukewarm toward the Chanel Paris-Bombay Metiers d’Art 2012 Outstanding Pieces, or maybe it’s just that the regular Paris-Bombay handbag collection is so full of pieces with unique details and personality?

These bags are great, particularly the Boy Chanel bags, but they don’t feel like they have quite the attention-grabbing power that the Outstanding Pieces Chanel usually have.
