The Ultimate Guide to Chanel Bags includes the classics, such as the 2.55, as well as street style favourites like the Boy in all their colours and formats.

Author: Alexandra Fullerton is an Essex girl by birth and a former Londoner; however, she now resides in Norfolk, having pivoted towards a more rural life during the pandemic. She lives in a small village with her husband, daughter, long-haired chihuahua Ozzie, and Nibbles the rabbit.

The majority of Alex's career has been spent on magazines as a fashion director (7.5 years as fashion director at Stylist magazine, 5 years as fashion director at large of Glamour UK), which meant styling A-list actors, musical icons, and celebrities (including Kylie Minogue, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Sophie Turner, Florence Welch, and Kelly Rowland). This role involved travelling the world to shoot fashion stories and sitting front row at fashion shows.

Now Alex is self-employed and has a portfolio career that combines fashion writing for The Telegraph and Bazaar Arabia, commercial styling (brands she has worked with include Stella McCartney and Marks & Spencer), personal styling, ghostwriting, writing her own books, and running a shopping platform, My3Words.co. When not working, Alex loves to explore provincial charity shops and dreams of unearthing a stash of Hermès Birkin bags. Visit alexandrafullerton.com or follow her on Instagram @alexandrafullerton.
