The Chanel hamper may be sitting in my virtual fashion bin but it's not been forgotten. Oh no. Armchair research tells me that the wicker basket with the double C logo is actually a pétanque bag, on sale for one thousand seven hundred and seventy English pounds. Here it is in the latest issue of Vogue with a very helpful fashion sum:
One Chanel pétanque bag - the boules = the chicest picnic hamper in the world.
I'm sorry, even if it were handcrafted by fairies and contained the Kaiser's own boules, I still wouldn't pay nearly two grand for it, not when you can buy this luxury willow picnic hamper with oiled leather straps - and all its contents - for a mere £99 from John Lewis:
Do the fashion math and make that £1671 - the chicest saving in the world!
What do you think Karl Lagerfeld should do with his boules?

Glad I am not really into Picnic's! I would rather spend the money on a 2.55!
Hi there-totally agree, I'd spend the remainder on a 2.55 too!! Have a lovely weekend!
Haha - you tell me! I'd love to imagine you tell Kaiser Karl what to do.
JL picnic basket it is!
What's wrong with a natty, little backpack? I love picnics and it's always worked for me. Throw the hamper and the Boules in the Seine.
Even cheaper than John Lewis, make up your own using a vintage picnic basket - I've several old ones stored away at home.
That's it. The hamper and the boules are going in the Seine and then I'm off down the rue to buy a 2.55. Thank you!
LOL!
That's a preposterous amount for a hamper. I can think of better ways to spend my dough at Chanel, just like the others mention above.
I'm a mite lost on this one. Is the Chanel object a pétanque basket? Whatever, it looks boring to me. I have a lovely hamper made from an old wicker basket I picked up at a garage sale (car boot to you). I used to salivate over those in Harrods by Abercrombie and Kent. Just gorgeous but insanely expensive.
