It started, I think, when I saw one described as a “pocket-sized celebration” of Coco Chanel. I mean, *come on*, who wouldn’t want that? A tiny little book, packed with Chanel goodness? It’s basically the handbag version, but for your brain! (Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get my drift).
Apparently, these books kinda chronicle her life and legacy. Which, let’s be real, is WAY more interesting than whatever’s happening on TikTok right now. I mean, this woman basically *liberated* women from corsets! Corsets! Can you imagine? No wonder she was known for her “strong beliefs and fearless” attitude. My kinda gal.
And they’re not just biographies, are they? They’re about the brand too, the whole luxury shebang. Like, the Little Book of Chanel seems to be a popular one. I also saw something about the “Story of the Chanel Bag,” which, I gotta admit, sounds riveting. I mean, we’re talking timeless elegance *and* iconic status. My bank account is quaking just thinking about it.
I’m thinking they’re perfect for throwing in your (probably not Chanel, *sigh*) handbag or tote bag and whipping out when you need a little dose of fashion inspiration. Waiting for the bus? BAM! Chanel history lesson. Stuck in a boring meeting? Flip through some pictures of quilted handbags. It’s basically a mini-escape from reality.
Honestly, they seem like the perfect gift, too. Like, if you don’t know what to get someone, but you know they appreciate a little luxury and style, bam! Chanel pocket book. Sorted. Better than another scented candle, for sure.
