Claudia Schiffer with Chanel Flap Bag

After Lilly Allen became the face of Chanel for a campaign to promote its new luxury line of handbags late last year, Claudia Schiffer is back with Chanel as she stars on their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. I can’t wait to see the outcome of the ad campaign from her photo shoot, but for now, let’s just take a look at this paparazzi shot of her outside of the Chanel Haute Couture show in Paris a month ago.

As always, she looks gorgeous and exquisitely beautiful. That lovely yellow long cardigan all the more made her look stunning, but what caught my attention most is the Chanel Flap Bag she’s toting. This bag is totally different out of the brand’s classic carryalls since instead of coming in quilted stitched design, this bag actually comes with a painted finish, which still goes in the same diamond quilting pattern. That definitely sets an artistic twist on the bag and most especially on the label itself, which is known for its sophisticated and timeless appeals.

The Chanel flap bag is definitely an interesting one, and it also comes complete with their usual chain and leather long shoulder strap to give it that classic elegance you’ve always wanted.
