Today was the day that I got my reward for sewing the 10 shirts for my D Mike, and I was not disappointed.
We left home to set off to the Chanel flagship store in Old Bond Street in London. There were lots of bags to choose from, but I wanted a classic shape and style bag, and I knew I wanted silver hardware.
Here are the pictures that say a thousand words - and many many thanks of course go to my D Mike for buying me the bag. Needless to say I think perhaps I owe him some more shirts over the next few years.
