Aiah Arceta of BINI Adds an Animal-Print Chanel Bag to Her Collection

Aiah strolled around in an achromatic ensemble that stayed close to her signature feminine aesthetic, but with an added touch of cool edge. On the hem of her oversized leather jacket was an undone belt that gave the overall look a laid-back touch. She paired this with a miniskirt featuring contrast stitching and knee-high boots that seamlessly matched her outerwear.

Standing out from the monochrome palette was Chanel’s Small Shopping Bag. White was its dominant color, with a bold animal print adorning its hair-like texture. Through the trapeze bag’s V-cut opening, the iconic burgundy shade of the French luxury fashion house peeked through the leather lining. The unmistakable Chanel logo and kiss-lock closures in gold hardware stood at the center.

Those keeping an eye on Aiah’s OOTDs would know that she has a penchant for sling bags, and with a chain shoulder strap that offers more styling options, the Small Shopping Bag is a natural fit for her wardrobe.

In 2002, Chanel introduced Métiers d’art, an annual collection anchored on celebrating the artisans behind the luxury label. It showcases the exceptional savoir-faire of the French fashion house, serving as “a declaration of love” for the talented creatives and their craftsmanship that bring its visions to life.

Pieces from the Métiers d’art collection often feature unique details and materials to highlight exceptional artisanship. With that said, they are produced in more limited quantities compared with seasonal releases. In the Philippines, style stars like Anne Curtis, Mimiyuuuh, and Marian Rivera have gotten their hands on pieces from Matthieu Blazy’s first Métiers d’art show as creative director.
