Chanel hasn’t officially named it, but fashion insiders have. Dubbed the Preppy Coco line, Matthieu Blazy’s Spring–Summer 2026 Pre-Collection introduces a new wave of Chanel bags defined by grained shiny calfskin, free from quilting and heavy embellishment, with elongated proportions that feel sporty yet refined.

1. Contemporary Chanel with Restrained Coding

Preppy Coco is a confident step forward for the House. By focusing on proportion, material, and finish, the collection delivers a modern interpretation of Chanel that feels relevant now—polished, youthful, and intentionally understated without losing its identity.

2. Effortless Shoulder Styling

Designed to tuck neatly under the arm, each Preppy Coco style combines comfort and effortless wearability. Elongated leather shoulder straps ensure the bags stay securely in place—whether paired with a chunky knit or a tailored coat—while allowing for hands-free ease throughout the day. For a more polished look, any style can also be carried by hand.

3. Three Distinct Offerings

Rather than leaning on a single hero piece, Preppy Coco introduces three styles: the Small Bowling Bag, the Small Flap Bag (also offered in a mini size named the Clutch with Leather Strap) and the Long Vanity with Leather Strap. Each serves a different purpose, from everyday carry to pared-back evening wear, all the while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic across the line.

4. A Quilting-Free Statement That Still Feels Iconic

What sets this lineup apart is what’s missing. The absence of quilting gives the bags a clean, streamlined look, allowing the grained shiny calfskin to take center stage. Crucially, Chanel’s signature CC detailing remains intact, ensuring the designs still feel unmistakably of the House.

5. Perfectly Aligned with Current Bag Trends

Elongated silhouettes, bowling-inspired shapes, and long shoulder straps continue to dominate the accessory landscape—and Preppy Coco taps into the trend effortlessly. The result feels timely without trying too hard, positioning these bags as modern classics rather than fleeting fashion moments.

6. A Fresh, Wearable Colour Palette

From classic Black and White to softer hues like Light Pink, Light Green, Light Yellow, and deeper tones such as Burgundy and Dark Blue, the color offerings strike a balance between timeless and trend-led. It’s a palette designed to integrate seamlessly into an existing wardrobe while still feeling fresh.

7. A More Approachable Chanel Price Point

While still firmly within luxury territory, the Preppy Coco lineup sits at a comparatively accessible entry point for Chanel. The Clutch with Leather Strap retails for $3,975, the Long Vanity with Leather Strap for $3,750, and both the Small Flap Bag and Small Bowling Bag are priced at $5,100, offering a way to step into the Blazy era without reaching the brand’s highest price brackets.
