I’ll have it forever. Unlike a bridal gown, it won’t sit in a box. I’ll bring it out for special occasions like fashionable work functions, date nights and when I need a pick-me-up. I bought THE BAG – Chanel’s Wallet On A Chain. I’ll have it forever.
While it might seem lavish to spend the Chanel price tag on a purse, even with my dress and shoes, what I spent on my wedding day fashion was less than what some women spend on their gown alone. Plus, I’ll have it forever.
It was my most prized possession, second to my engagement ring and wedding band. I truly love it. It’s me in a purse. My style, my taste, my dream bag. I’ll have it forever.
But on June 1st, on an Air Canada plane from Toronto to Vancouver, my wedding keepsake is lost. I was headed to Vancouver for work (fancy dinner was on the itinerary) and I packed my Chanel in my carryon. I was only going to be there one night.
As I went to grab my bag from the overhead bin, it wasn’t whet I put it. I looked in another bin and I grabbed what looked like my bag. I knew immediately it wasn’t. So the flight attendant and I rushed to get announcements made, and I ran to the checked luggage carousel to see if my carryon twin was there. She wasn’t.
I turned her bag in, and I was told, based on the contents, she was likely headed on a connection to Asia.
So now it’s just a waiting game. She has to make the call and turn in my luggage. But if she hasn’t opened it, she won’t know.
I know it’s just a bag. But like many women love their dress, or even their shoes, this is my bag. My memory.
So if you love fashion, weddings or are just a Chanel girl, please share my story. I’m hoping it reaches the woman who has my bag.
