For those professional women who care about their personal brand at the workplace, essential best-quality-you can afford accessories are an everyday luxury.
Most of the times, the perception of appearance translate into perception of performance. Creating our signature style involves knowing ourselves and having a clear objective on what image we want to project.
When you start acquiring luxury accessories, it becomes a difficult habit to break. It could be its softness, the excellence of its construction, the memories of when you bought them. And, you appreciate them even more when they are extremely useful like the one I bring you today: the Chanel card holder.
I bought this card holder at Selfridges in London during my last trip to that wonderful city.
Chanel prices in London are lower than prices for the same items in the United States.
This card holder is made of lambskin embroidered with the traditional camellia emblem of the fashion house. The champagne gold of the logo hardware is very versatile as it combines perfectly with gold or silver accessories.
This small leather good measures 2.9 x 0.2 x 4.4 inches. It features four compartments in which you can carry your identification, credit cards, gifts cards, etc.
With the mini bag trend a card holder is the perfect companion that doubles as a tiny wallet.
For someone who has always been used to classic size wallets to carry cash, it is a game changer to switch to the card holder which lightens the bag.
Back in previous years, when maxi bags were fashionable, the full size wallet was even more important than the work bag itself. The wallet was usually the only visible accessory to carry during workday’s lunch break.
Due to the capacity of the maxi bag, we carried everything, making it very heavy and uncomfortable to take out only for a quick lunch.
Big bags are making a comeback, but we also have the option of carrying a tiny one as it combines with the outfit. On the other hand, office jobs are becoming more mobile-friendly and having a tablet or surface in the bag is mandatory. Personally, I have two maxi bags in my closet which are ready to be used soon!
Such a beautiful piece can be appreciated during business meetings or lunches with coworkers or clients.
I hope the Chanel card holder lasts a long time. I plan to give you a a one year update of how it holds up.
