Chanel is selling a £4,410 water bottle - and it's flying off the shelves

Hydration might be important, but Chanel has taken things to the next level with a £4k water bottle.

The gold and black leather quilted Flask Bag was reportedly a smash hit when it hit Harrods and Chelsea Chanel stores last week - with just one left in stock.

The £4,410 bottle is a revamped version of a similar piece designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld for the brand in 1994.

The 21cm flask bag features a metallic gold water bottle, a black quilted holder covered in Chanel’s double-C monogram and chain detailing as well as a long chain strap.

The bottle can also be removed from the quilted holder and its black cap features the double Cs, plus a shorter chain wrist strap.

The bag was recently carried on the Grammys red carpet by singer Maggie Rogers, who paired it with a vintage Chanel dress from 2003.

Although she didn’t win her nomination for Best New Artist, she earned a spot on best dressed lists for the unusual (and very pricey) piece.

The previous version of the water bottle holder was released in 1994, though singer Rihanna broke the Internet when she swapped its water bottle for a beer on her Instagram stories.

Unlike the recent leather version, it features a metal chain frame and featured in the cult film Clueless.

According to the Daily Mail, the vintage version of the bottle holder retails for as much as £8,500 online.

If that sounds expensive, it doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of a water bottle sold by Beverly Hills 90H20.

Claiming to be “water experience”, unlike the Chanel bottle it actually contains a liquid - which it says is the world’s “first sommelier-crafted water.”

As for what makes it so expensive? It features a white gold cap covered in 600 white diamonds and 250 black diamonds, which come to a total of 14 carats.

It’s priced at £76,000 and is the most expensive bottle of water in the world.
