Nicky Hilton and Chanel Modern Chain E/W Tote

Ah the Hilton sisters! I am sure I can write a whole week's worth of post about Paris and all the controversial topics surrounding her but Nicky on the other hand is the more subdued sister who rarely involves herself in anything that will stir up tabloids.  Plus I think I prefer Nicky's sophisticated style compared to Paris's eccentric choices.

Nicky also has the better choice in handbags imo.  I have swooned over many of her lovely Chanels that she has carried in the past few years.  And her Modern Chain E/W tote that she used a lot in 2006-2007 is no exception.

The Modern Chain ligne was quite the popular ligne when it was first released - it was featured in the NM catalog, created a stir at the trunk shows, and most styles were an immediate sell-out once it hit shelves!  This MC tote reminds me a lot of the popular tote that the Olsen twins made famous but with an edgy chunky chain.  I love the bag because it is made of super durable calfskin and it is lined in leather (!!!!), it's so rare to find Chanel totes lined in leather nowadays!

After almost 6 years, I have decided to part with this pretty snow white baby.  It is a very chic bag (I am in love with the chunky handles!) and I hope it will go to a new mommy that will take her out more than I did.
