Win a classic Chanel bag & £1,500 shopping spree!

Following the release of the film Coco, everyone’s gone crazy for all things Chanel. Our classic pearl jewellery is a case in point – the way it dresses up or down makes it a must-have in any sophisticate’s wardrobe.

To celebrate timeless chic, we’ve joined forces with Sheerluxe.com, the definitive guide to all that’s stylish in online shopping, to give you the chance to win the iconic Chanel Classic quilted bag (worth £1,625!). Handcrafted in black caviar leather, with a gold chain, it’s been toted by style icons for decades. No surprise that the classic remains Chanel’s bestseller.

And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also partnered with four other scrumptious retailers – Astley Clarke, Isabella Oliver 365, Lombok and SweatyBetty – to give you the chance to win a £1,500 shopping spree as well.

To have a chance of winning, all you need to do is answer the very simple question on this link and follow the instructions.

It’s autumn, and the makeover starts here – best of luck!

Love from us at Handpicked xx
