History of the bag: Chanel East West Chocolate Bar

Iconic Chanel East West Chocolate Bar Bag

An iconic bag with too little appreciation

Not everyone knows this beautiful Chanel design, but everyone who knows this beautiful Chanel bag is completely obsessed (like us). Surprisingly, there isn't much information about it, but we've listed everything here for you in one blog.

The East West Bag 

Before we continue on the Chanel East West Chocolate Bar bag we are going to talk about the Chanel East West Bag. This beautiful Chanel bag owes its name to the fact that the bag is longer in length than in height. The Chanel East West Bag comes in several versions. The East West Bag is a variant of the iconic Chanel Classic Flap Bag, but it's the little sister. Although the model of the bag is very similar to the Chanel Classic Flap Bag, the Chanel East West Flap Bag is a cheaper variant, which is much more affordable (oh yes!). In 2011 the production of the Chanel East West Bag stopped, unfortunately. Chanel most likely thought there was not enough room for two such classic timeless bags. This has ensured that the Chanel Classic Flap Bag has become increasingly popular. Read all about investing in the Classic Flap Bag in this blog

Enough about the Chanel East West Flap Bag. Let's talk about the Chanel East West Chocolate Bar. Are you already craving chocolate? 

 

The East West Chocolate Bar

It will not surprise you that 'The Chocolate Bar' has to do with the design of the bag. The shape of the bag and the cubes immediately remind you of a chocolate bar. Do you see the differences? Because we don't see any difference, except for the material.

The East West Chocolate Bar can be worn on the shoulder, unfortunately the chain is too short to wear crossbody. It comes in many different colors and materials. Lambskin leather, calfskin leather, patent leather, canvas, there is plenty of choice. But this bag outshines any outfit. Can be worn chic or casual, but always remains timeless.

 

Since they stopped producing this model, this Chanel bag can only be found preloved. Every now and then we receive this beautiful bag. Looking for a different Chanel bag? We have the most beautiful Chanel collection, curious? Oh and a little side note, not all of our bags can be found online.
