White Chanel Bag
Coco Chanel's preferred colors were black, white, beige, gold and red. Her preference for white was based on the color reflecting light and illuminating the face. White pearls were the perfect compliment to illuminate the face and were also sober and noble. White pearls are one of the most recognizable Chanel motifs. She also loved white camillias that were used to adorn accessories, hats, clothing and bags. In modern times black and white Chanel bags remain the most popular.
