Chanel Bags Spring–Summer 2026: Heritage in Motion
LÀB REPORT
For Spring–Summer 2026, Chanel embraced a poetic, cinematic femininity, infusing its timeless codes with fresh modernity. Shown on 4 October in Paris, the collection opened with a crisp white cotton poplin shirt dress, cinched by a slender chain belt and layered under a pastel pistachio tweed duster. Fluid silhouettes met the maison’s storied craftsmanship, creating an effortless yet considered wardrobe. While airy tailoring and iconic tweeds shone, it was the accessories — especially the bags — that stole our hearts at SACLÀB.

A narrative of Parisian ease unfolded: softly tailored jackets over flowing skirts, sheer chiffon blouses paired with high-waisted trousers, and fluid midi dresses edged with delicate lace. The color palette shifted from luminous whites and powdered pastels — mint, blush, lilac — to deep navy, ink black, and cocoa brown, punctuated by shimmering metallic silver. Fabrics played with duality: featherlight organza and silk georgette contrasted with structured tweed and smooth lambskin. The collection radiated an understated confidence — an ode to freedom and elegance in motion. And, as ever, for us at SACLÀB, the bags stole the scene: iconic shapes reinterpreted, materials reimagined, and future collectibles unveiled for the modern Chanel aficionado.
Five Bags That Defined Chanel SS26
1. Reimagined 2.55
Blazy took the house’s most historic bag, the 2.55, and gave it a soulful refresh. Its quilting appeared almost worn-in, as if lovingly carried for decades — flattened and softened without losing its DNA. The signature Mademoiselle lock remained but felt quieter, framed by supple calfskin in shades of deep navy, muted blush, and soft chocolate suede. This is a heritage piece rethought for the modern collector: timeless yet deeply personal, designed to feel like it’s already lived a life.
2. Suede Bowling Bag
Sport meets subtle sophistication in Blazy’s take on the bowling bag. Cut from sand-hued suede with faint diamond quilting, the silhouette feels both nostalgic and freshly luxurious. Slim top handles, a discreet CC emblem, and a leather charm add quiet flourish, while its generous interior makes it effortlessly pragmatic. Casual at first glance, yet crafted with couture-level restraint — it signals Chanel’s shift toward texture-rich, understated glamour.
3. Hobo Bag
Matthieu Blazy reimagines the hobo as the ultimate expression of relaxed refinement. Its fluid body — crafted in smooth or lightly padded leather — drapes with quiet grace, anchored by an oversized shoulder strap and discreet double turn-locks. This season, the silhouette evolves with a softer drawstring variation: deep burgundy quilted leather gathered at the top with slim leather ties and finished with a detachable gold-tone chain for versatile wear. Together, these interpretations embody Blazy’s vision of functional luxury — silhouettes that feel lived-in yet exquisitely made, whispering Chanel’s heritage while embracing effortless modernity.

4. Elongated Clutch
Evening minimalism gets a modern edge. The new elongated clutch — long and gracefully curved — strips away excess to reveal pure form. Smooth calfskin in burgundy or black frames discreet CC hardware, while a subtle side handle keeps the gesture elegant yet practical. It’s refined but not precious, the kind of piece that slips seamlessly from day tailoring to night silk.
5. Trapeze Bag
Architectural and daring, the Trapeze Bag breaks from Chanel’s softer traditions with sharp geometry and clean intent. Its wide base narrows to a sleek top framed by a structured clasp and finished with a fine chain strap. Offered in luminous ivory and inky black, it’s a graphic statement — bold yet wearable, designed for collectors who want heritage with an edge.
