Best Nordstrom Purchase Saved for Last the New Quilted Classic Chanel Wallet Purse in Sexy Red

My last stop of the day ended up being the Chanel boutique at Nordstrom, and I got to oogle the Chanel quilted 2.55 classic with charms as seen on Mischa Barton last week. It is gorgeous, but its also a little over US$4000, which is miles above my price range. Above is a picture of the gold goatskin contrast stitched walletviewable on the Chanel USA website, which is the closest picture match to the beautiful convertible wallet purse that I could find. Click on the jump below to see pictures of the actual red wallet purse! I must warn you guys ahead of time that the photos I managed to take on my webcam are of horrible quality, but hopefully the beauty of the red wallet purse will shine through!

I promise, I would not have forced ya'll to view these horrible quality pictures if it weren't absolutely necessary. I simply couldn't find other photos and the bag is just too cute for words! It is actually quite small, which is why the price is merely US$1800 as opposed to the US$4000 for the Chanel Classic 2.55.

The bag is convertible and stylish, which allows for many versatile ways to wear it. You can see from this picture why its a wallet hybrid; it boasts card slots, several zippered compartments for loose items, and is very small! The chain can be worn long and slung over a shoulder, or worn short by doubling across the flap, or tucked away completely so that you can tuck this little jewel as a clutch. I haven't quite digested that US$1800 was spent on this, but with all these awesome ways to wear it, maybe it'll be worth it!
