Classic Handbags
Chanel’s iconic Classic Handbag lineup plays with texture and embellishment for Fall-Winter 2025. Forgoing the traditional quilted leather, the small Classic Handbag is refreshed in black cotton tweed with contrasting white and gold trim.
A similar design is offered in a statement-making color palette of red, pink, and black, styled head to toe on the runway—including matching gloves—for a fully coordinated, bold look.
The Mini Classic Handbag also gets a touch of texture. Reimagined in beige and white quilted tweed with gold-tone hardware, it offers a charming, compact update on the house’s iconic silhouette.
Rounding out the lineup, the black velvet Mini Classic makes a striking evening statement, elevated with strass, imitation pearls, and gold-tone metal detailing. Adorned with stars and crystals, this version brings serious glamour and dramatic flair to the tweed-heavy collection.

Flap Bags
This season, Chanel flirts with proportion across the Flap Bag lineup, stretching and amplifying the Maison’s iconic silhouette.
Flap bags go seriously east-west for Fall-Winter 2025. Elongated to 4.9 × 11.8 × 2 inches, the Large Flap Bag with Top Handle stretches the classic silhouette into a sleek, modern form. Secured with a CC turnlock fastening, it features a ladylike firm top handle trimmed with gold-tone hardware, as well as a long chain shoulder strap for versatile shoulder styling. This new Large Flap Bag is offered in pink, black, and white tweed, alongside statement-making metallic mirror calfskin in light gold and deep burgundy.

For more petite proportions, there’s the scaled-down Mini Mini Flap with Top Handle. Measuring 5.1 × 7.3 × 1.8 inches, this petite version keeps the classic flap proportions, topped with a tiny ladylike handle and secured with a CC turnlock. Available in black and white cashmere tweed, black cotton tweed, and black or silver metallic mirror calfskin, each variation features gold-tone hardware and a delicate chain shoulder strap, allowing for hand-carry or crossbody styling.

Embracing the bow motif of the Fall-Winter 2025 lineup, the Mini Flap Bag with Top Handle is crafted from soft black velvet and adorned with an oversized silk bow, finished with a tiny CC emblem. Measuring 5.1 × 7.9 × 2.4 inches, it’s just a touch larger than the Mini Classic. Secured with a classic turnlock, the bag features a CC adorned chain top handle woven with silk, alongside a chain shoulder strap for versatile cross-body or shoulder styling. The design is also offered in white tweed, paired with a contrasting black silk bow and chain.

A sparkling all-over sequin take on the Mini Flap adds a dazzling twist to the lineup. Measuring 5.5 × 8.3 × 3.1 inches, it’s crafted in black sequins with contrasting white sequins creating subtle visual texture. The classic flap silhouette is secured with a CC turnlock, and a chain shoulder strap allows for versatile crossbody or shoulder styling.

The coveted Shearling Flap Bag from last year’s 24K lineup returns for Fall-Winter 2025, now in a fresh colorway. Crafted from a combination of beige shearling and dark brown lambskin, the style is offered in the original 6.2 x 9.2 x 2.9-inch size, alongside a Mini version with black leather, measuring 4.7 x 7.1 x 2.4 inches. Both sizes feature the familiar flap silhouette, CC turnlock closure, and chain shoulder strap for versatile styling.

Stepping up in scale, the Large Flap Bag amplifies the classic silhouette with pronounced quilting and a chunky matching chain that can be worn by hand or over the shoulder. Measuring 6.3 × 10.6 × 2.8 inches, it’s crafted from ecru, beige, and gold tweed, with the signature CC turnlock securing the flap.
Continuing the theme of exaggerated proportions, the Maxi Flap Bag with Top Handle takes the Classic Flap silhouette to new heights, measuring 13 × 22 × 2.8 inches. Crafted from dark gray wool with flat quilting and leather trim, it features a slouchy, unstructured shape, a flap top handle, and a double-chain shoulder strap, secured with a CC turnlock.
Another maxi option echoes the 2002 Jacket Bag. Crafted from slouchy, washed black or blue quilted denim, the flap covers two front pockets reminiscent of jacket-style pockets, each accented with gold-tone button detailing. Measuring 10.6 × 17.7 × 3.9 inches, the bag is secured with a CC turnlock and features a double-chain shoulder strap for comfortable wear.

A similar style is also available in blue quilted denim, slightly smaller at 9.4 × 13.8 × 3.9 inches. This version forgoes the front pocket detailing, keeping a cleaner, streamlined look while maintaining the flap closure, CC turnlock, and double-chain shoulder strap.

Chanel 25
For Fall 2025, Chanel continues to lean into reimaginations of its popular 25 bag. First up, winterization with a cozy update in shearling. Offered in the small size (11.8 × 10.2 × 5.5 inches), it’s crafted from crumpled shearling sheepskin in black and white, with visible shearling trim along the edges for a tactile, winter-ready look.

Minaudières
Chanel goes supersize beyond bags this season with the Pearl Necklace Minaudière. Taking the form of an oversized necklace, it’s crafted from pearl-white Plexi with gold-tone hardware. A single supersized central pearl opens to reveal a tiny compartment for your must-haves, while a CC emblem is nestled among the beads, and a necklace-style clasp secures the design. Exact measurements are not yet noted, but the piece is large enough to be comfortably worn across the body—practicality may be limited, but the statement factor is undeniable.

Alongside it, the Pearl Ring Minaudière transforms a single oversized pearl into a sculptural, hand-held bag. Carried by the gold-tone “ring” engraved with CHANEL, the pearly-white Plexi pearl opens to reveal a compartment for essentials.

Embracing the bow theme, another evening flap is crafted entirely in sequins, predominantly silver, with a contrasting black bow integrated across the front.

The design is finished with silver-tone hardware for a sleek, cohesive look.
