Elle Ferguson Among First to Own Chanel's Coveted Maxi Flapbag

Australian fashion influencer Elle Ferguson has proudly announced she is one of the first individuals worldwide to acquire the highly sought-after Chanel Maxi flapbag. The model and podcaster, who gained fame on The Block in 2022, revealed her luxurious purchase following a trip to the Chanel boutique in Paris.

A Dream Come True Experience

In a video shared with her 680,000 Instagram followers, Ferguson expressed her disbelief and joy. "I'm pretty much one of the first people to have this bag in the world," she said. "I still can't believe it happened, so this whole experience has literally been a dream come true." She showcased the bag in what she described as "the colour of the season," a light brown shade, praising it as the perfect travel companion.

Stylish and Practical Choice

Ferguson selected the light brown version, which retails for $15,090, explaining her decision: "I have a million black bags" and noted it would complement any fashion ensemble. She described the bag as "so chic, so cool, and so French," adding that she had long desired a maxi Chanel bag and saved up for it, emphasizing its value through cost per wear.

Fan Reactions and Additional Purchase

Her followers quickly celebrated her acquisition, with comments flooding in:

  • One fan exclaimed, "Are you joking? We're obsessed. Love love love."
  • Another said, "It's absolutely stunning!!!"
  • A third added, "Such a gorgeous bag."

Additionally, the 40-year-old treated herself to a $1,660 Chanel belt, inspired by Margot Robbie wearing a similar piece.

Past Fashion Controversy

This positive moment follows last year's social media backlash when Ferguson modeled a revealing lilac dress by Spanish fashion house Loewe. The video garnered 8.2 million views, and Ferguson defended her choice, calling it the "most beautiful dress." She told The Daily Telegraph, "The only thing I was thinking when I put this dress on is that I was exceptionally lucky to be looking at Jonathan Anderson's last collection with Loewe. I loved that dress. I still love that dress. I put it on and I stood there proudly."
