A cross-generational conversation with Gabrielle Chanel

The Spring-Summer 2026 collection is conceived as an in-depth conversation with the house’s founder, Gabrielle Chanel. Rather than overturning tradition, Matthieu Blazy draws thoughtfully on the brand’s most iconic design language, transforming it into the foundation of a dynamic wardrobe for modern women. For the bags, he has set aside elaborate decoration to focus entirely on the feel and drape of the leather, along with the bag’s practical construction. This back-to-basics approach is a real test of a designer’s command of materials.

The striking details of the black-and-white Large Bowling Bag

Among the new designs, this Large Bowling Bag is the one that catches your eye at first glance. It pairs classic black and white, combining durable grained calfskin with soft lambskin and warm gold-tone hardware. Priced at HK$44,800 (approximately NT$185,900), its streamlined bowling-bag silhouette is elegant while still easily holding all your daily essentials – exactly what modern women want from a practical bag.

The return of practicality: the Maxi Messenger Bag

If the Bowling Bag is synonymous with elegance, this Maxi Messenger Bag is the perfect mix of ease and presence. Made from exceptionally fine brown lambskin, its soft leather will develop a distinctive natural sheen over time. Priced at HK$56,100 (approximately NT$232,500), its standout features are its oversized capacity and wide shoulder strap. Whether worn casually crossbody or over one shoulder, it creates an easygoing French feel. As the oversized-bag trend continues, this design can certainly become the perfect highlight of an everyday outfit.

For the past few years, the market has been dominated by all kinds of “useless little bags” that cannot even fit a phone. This time, though, CHANEL has introduced practical large bags with exceptional craftsmanship, making them stand out in the market. We especially appreciate the brand’s dedication to leatherwork: without an overload of logos, the leather’s sheen and clean lines alone create the entire presence. For those with the budget who want an everyday bag that will stay with them for years, this collection is certainly worth buying.
