In the “Pink Venom” MV, BLACKPINK adorned numerous luxury items, but Jennie’s “birdcage purse” drew the most attention.
Finally returning to the Kpop scene after 1 year and 10 month BLACKPINK’s new single “Pink Venom” is receiving massive support from fans. Alongside the group’s music and visuals, the outfits worn by BLACKPINK members have also been the talk of town, with one particular “birdcage” purse held by Jennie drawing a lot of curiosity.
In particular, the special purse in question belongs to Chanel’s 2020 Prefall Collection. The purse took inspiration from a birdcage displayed inside the home of superstar designer Coco Chanel, located at No. 31 Rue Cambon, Paris, France. The same location also inspired the 2012 short film “L’esprit Chanel”, directed by Jean Paul Goude.
In her scene with the purse, Jennie also made a word play on “Coco”, rapping: “Kick in the door, waving the Coco” – a small yet super iconic detail.
It was also revealed that the purse’s metal frame was gilded with gold and embedded with luxurious crystals. The word “Chanel” could be seen on the top of the cage, and a Channel logo was put in the bottom. In addition, the cage’s “door” was made fully by hand, and the purse includes a mini purse made of lamb suede. To make it even more impressive, this purse was priced at 20,000 USD, and is only available to special customers.
On the other hand, the combination of this purse with Jennie’s red lace dress makes the female idol look like a true queen. The scene, while short, fully embeds itself into the minds of many viewers.
Previously, C-biz star Xin Zhilei also promoted this purse at an award ceremony held by fashion magazine ELLE.
