Bar Rafaeli, sports Illustrated swimwear issue cover girl and star of that DISGUSTING GoDaddy.com incredibly bowl commercial, was recently spotted shopping on Robertson Boulevard in LA, carrying a puffed lambskin Chanel Coco Cocoon Satchel. This bag has been retired by Chanel, but considering that it’s generally the designer bag equivalent of a puffy ski vest, I can’t help thinking that maybe that’s a good thing. (Though I’m certain puffy ski vests will have their day once again, and subsequently, the Cocoon satchel will get a great reissue.)
Of all the luxury leathers out there, I find “puffed lambskin” to be one of the most curious, generally because it sort of seems like the wearable biproduct of a kebab stand. but if it’s good enough for Bar Rafaeli, it’s probably good enough for the rest of us, right? (I’ll just continue to try to avoid thinking of helium-inflated baby lambs when I touch it.)
