The Cambon tote is by far one of the best interpretations of a modern staple to the House of Chanel. Being one of the most popular collections to the French brand, it has fallen victim to one of the most popular knockoff styles as well. Regardless, I’ll always take a moment and admire an authentic Cambon as they’re eye-catching and attractive as well. The Cambon collection was a massive hit years back amongst celebrities and fashionista’s alike. By far, my favorite from the collection was the black lambskin tote with the black interlocking C’s. The vintage devoting line of What Goes Around Comes Around has recently obtained one and this classic tote bag is expected to sell quick!
Even though I wear mostly black and white, pink is my favorite color in the world. It’s girly, it’s pretty and it just makes any fashion accessory more fun. My favorite shade of pink is light pink and anytime I see anything in the fashion world that is light pink I usually want it. i always love to go into the Juicy Couture store. I don’t like their clothes too much but I love looking at all of their pink accessories. If you ever go in their you will see the whole store is pretty much stocked in pink!
I will admit that I am not Nicole Richie’s biggest fan. When it comes to her jewelry collection, however, it is an entirely different story. I love House of Harlow 1960! The designs are a blend of bohemian, flower child, and tribal influences. So cute and great for topping off just about any casual look. But what I like even more is that Nicole Richie actually wears her own designs! Not all celebrity designers do that, so I think that is very refreshing! That is why I was excited to learn that handbags have been added to the House of Harlow collection! I knew I had to check them out!
Who doesn’t love vintage Chanel? For one it’s classic and has proven to last the test of fashion time. But what is it about owning a Chanel handbag that addicts have grown to love? I don’t have the answer for you, it’s just something about owning at least one piece (if not more!) in your collection that we all aspire to do. You will never forget your first Chanel.
You can never go wrong with a vintage Chanel, but when it comes to eBay and authenticity you never really know. Some of those sellers can be kinda sketchy. This is why I always turn to What Goes Around Comes Around, founded by college friends Gerard Maione and Seth Weisser. It’s a vintage vault and archive that houses one of the most extensive vintage fashion collections in the world. Vintage aficionados from across the globe, as well as editors, stylists, and top design teams look to WGACA Vintage for the best from fashion’s past. They know their stuff.
Here’s a sampling of what they have available on ShopBop:

Vintage Chanel can be a repulsive to some or a treasure to others. Technically, a vintage find should be in decent condition with an irresistible price tag attached. With that said, these pieces by What Goes Around Comes Around Vintage never really make sense to me.
The piece above has a pretty self-explanatory name; it’s the Le Train bag.
For those who have doubts, this piece is absolutely authentic, regardless of it looking like a novelty item or a really bad knockoff. Coated canvas makes up this typical tote bag and with the simple silver logoed studs, this tote is sure to be a light weight one. What’s your input on the animated wrap around trains, would you call it chic or cheap?
There are two designer brands that I’m dying to have a bag from and that’s: Chanel & Hermes. I think every fashionista secretly wants a Hermes “Birkin” but every woman out there who loves fashion also has an appreciation for vintage Chanel pieces. When I think of vintage Chanel, I envision Jackie O. and one of the most iconic high end designers that is known for vintage pieces.
When I came across the WGACA Vintage Chanel Bag my mouth literally dropped. I remember seeing my Aunt with vintage Chanel’s and how I always wanted to steal one from her. This one was absolutely gorgeous and it obviously was kept in great shape because it doesn’t even look old!
I’ve always been a fan of golden hardware featured on a black bag, but when it’s on a Chanel bag it’s even better! The chain strap is a Chanel must, if you want the true iconic style of the brand.
