My not-so-secret lust affair with the Coco Cocoon
Friday, September 25, 2009 at 10:04AM 
With only five sleeps until I depart for Paris and my faithful old suitcase waiting patiently to be packed, I find myself slightly jumpy, distracted… a little like a Siamese on a hot tin roof.
Why? Because although said suitcase has accompanied me loyally on many a journey, it is difficult not to entertain the idea of a far sexier and luxurious travelling companion. Something a little chicer, more polished –perhaps in an inky, plush, quilted lambskin, lined in blood red satin with slick ruthenium hardware finishes.
Voila! Chanel’s new Coco Cocoon Quilted Trolley Bag, the piece that will make my luggage pop and that has stolen my fickle fashion heart. With it’s release a week away, and Lily Allen holding onto it for dear life, sadly it won’t make the flight and my trusty Samsonite will once again be by my side. Perhaps if I remove my glasses and squint hard enough, I can pretend it is Coco Cocoon moving romantically toward me on that conveyor belt instead of my cruddy, clapped-out old faithful in its place.
Sigh, swoon and aim high at www.chanel.com

Thank you Annie! Crappy suitcase is coming but I'm planning on pinning a camellia on it for good measure! E x
