Say it ten times fast! Hahaha sounds like you have a stutter doesn’t it but I guess Coco is for Coco Chanel and Cocoon just makes you think of snugness and comfort.
And there’s the point right there. Coco = luxury and all things atas, Cocoon = comfort. Coco Cocoon is a new range that Chanel have come up with which is all about “luxury sportswear”.
Lily Allen is the face of Coco Cocoon!
Karl Lagerfeld (who designed the bags) loves her apparently cos she looks like Coco and she’s a big Chanel fan.
(I am a big Chanel fan too, Karl! With oversized sunglasses and the right tiara I could look like Coco and Lily too!)
See?
The real Lily Allen.
The bootlegged copy.
Here’s Lily pictured with the Coco Cocoon Black Nylon Trolley
Another view of it.
Quilted like a classic Chanel but still looks hardy enough for wear and tear. You can pull it with you onto your business class flight, and even if you spill Merlot on it it’s not going to stain hohoho.
Ironically it also looks soft enough to sleep on!
This is the Small Tote in Dark Brown Leather. Also comes in nylon actually for a possibly more understated feel but I like leather.
Honestly on first glance I was a bit unsure about the design of the bag. Cos it looks damn simple and I am not a simple tshirt and jeans girl! (actually cannot wear jeans cos too short)
But she made it look so glam.. (that’s Frieda Pinto)
And here’s regular tiara-less Lily Allen.
Fancy tiara-ed Lily Allen carrying the bag above.
This is the bag in Ivory White.
I love love love it! But much like my Miumiu, I swear if I had it I’d get it dirty in like two hours T____T
It’s also reversible! When turned inside out it reveals the famous Chanel quilting so you can pretend you have 2 bags >_> Prefer the smooth outer skin one though.
Again, casual and simple enough but one glance at it would still tell you it’s a Chanel.
It’s a garment bag but whatever I’d carry around my laptop in it! Red Mummy yelled at me when I said her Prada was big enough to put her laptop in but I like my bags big enough to put the whole world and the sun in them!
I actually did a lot of reading on Coco Chanel because I’m a geek for random trivia. /geek mode on
Coco Chanel opened her first store in Paris in 1913 and developed a line of practical sportswear.
Most of her clothing was made of jersey, which was unusual then since it was more commonly used for men’s underwear (!!!) but the fabric draped well and suited her designs which were practical and inspired by uniforms when WW1 broke out.
Coco Cocoon actually reminds me of uniforms a little bit .. if this is the direction Lagerfeld wants to take with Coco Cocoon – unusual material but still the epitome of practicality and luxury – then he is FTW ^_^
I also read that Coco Chanel was born into poverty and orphaned when her mother died and her father abandoned them. But then she climbed out of her circumstances (with the help of rich admirers HAHA feminist ok she’s using whatever resources she could get at that time) and turned into the biggest most renowned name in the fashion world.
That will be my dream. Right now I am poor and in debt and my car’s gear box is broken so it doesn’t reverse. >_>
But I will persevere! I will survive and make my way up and I will buy her bags! *hands on hips eyes full of stars
(actually am a bit closer to my dream since Coco Cocoon is more affordable than regular Chanels)
The Coco Cocoon bags are out in stores now! Check out Chanel for more info.
They come in black, beige, chocolate, burgundy, taupe, blue, grey, gold, and red (not in pictures).
Apparently, after she did her shoot, Lily Allen who’s known for combining luxury with comfort, femininity with funk, wanted to take one home with her.
I, too, asked if I could have one to keep for my own.
I’m guessing Lily Allen would have better luck T_T
One last try.

i could see the bathroom sink (fortunately not the toilet bowl) on ur glasses in the pic with ur thumb up – nice photography, hehe 😛
its so ex i cant even buy it if i save $ for 60 live times T____T u so rich u say affordable
Coco Cocoon is NOT CHEAP okay, it’s like about RM1300 for a stupid piece of nylon KEY CASE. The handbag is about USD$1400 = RM5000!!!!!
jammie: hahaha no its on a different level T3T
heedsidek: i think it’s half the price of a regular chanel, say a 2.55?
4kaki9inci: hahahaaha ya cos my bathroom has best lighting 😀
cheesie: for sure u have more $$ than me! im always perpetually broke wan:( but coco cocoon is cheaper than other chanels tho!
mellissa: haha ok remember to breathe mell wtf. yea i didn’t say it’s cheap! chanel will never be cheap but coco cocoon is undeniably more affordable than other chanels
Haha! Reversible items are awesome, I love this reversible bomber jacket I used to have…coz people actually think I have more items in my wardrobe than I actually do. T_T
I think you are like 100 times cuter than Lily Allen! I think Chanel would be lucky to have you as their model ^_^ Haha I would probably shove my laptop into it if I had one too. Also is it just me or do all the bags remind you of big fluffy pillows? If I had one I would probably use it to nap on all the time… it’s probably for the best that I can’t afford one then XD You and I need to come up with a grand master plan to claw our way up to richness… or at least buy new cars because mine just broke too ;_;
I never understand females….5k for a bag….*calculating how many xbox 360 I can buy*
*a hint for boss stewie, I sense ;)*
Personally, I think the Cocoon looks of cheap stuff, like things you see in the markets in Thailand!
Though, they are priced at 1200 USD.So, the look cheap, but is not cheap. And, I am sure there are better ways to spend 1200 USD on a Gym Bag. T___T
Well, I guess if you have an infinite amount of money…
And, I am sure it would not be long before Thailand, HK, whatever country imitation things come from makes an exact copy.
i miss coco T_______T
i want watch coco avant chanel. wuwuwu. the bags looks more comfy than my bed wtf sad T_T
damn expensive haha…but then it looks super simple jek..
however, no doubt it is more comfy then my PILLOW!!
The white one looks so comfy. Makes me want to shrink myself and roll around it for a while.
Definitely quite a bit to pay for a handbag but I guess that’s the thing about luxury items, if it’s too cheap and everyone can afford it then it won’t be much of a luxury to have anymore.
No matter baby, I approve of you buying the white bag. You may replace my bolster with it (my other bolster… not buh buh ok?)
huai bin: 2 for the price of 1! very worth it 😀
violet: it does! it looks so comfy! if only we could strike the lottery and move to japan… haha! how come ur car broke down?
ray: hahaah no i wouldn’t do that to him!
lisa: im sure they’re made of better stuff than thai market items 😀 but yea let’s bet they get pirated in less than a month 😛
angie: awww i miss you too WTF
yumii: me too! do u know when it’s coming out in msia?
hitomi: yea hahahaha u can sleep on it so well!
boss: yes baby i can imagine u rolling around!
Why are girls always excited with bags, shoes and clothes?
Can someone please burn all of them into dust…T_____T
How much is that going to cost?
Nice bag 🙂 I love the practicality of reversible bags. 2 in 1 is always a keeper 😉
