Winter may not scream “suede weather,” but style rules are meant to be bent. Soft suede adds a tactile richness to winter layers, elevating everything from chunky knits to oversized coats and scarves.

And when it comes to suede handbags, few brands offer such a wide variety of styles as Chanel. The Cruise 2025/26 collection proves just how seamlessly this buttery, sumptuous material can move through the seasons—especially when rendered in warm, wearable neutrals. Think caramel-toned Dark Beige, rich chocolate Brown, soft Gray, and even vibrant pops of Coral. From chic pouch designs with vintage flair to classic flap silhouettes and slouchy hobos, each style is crafted to be tactile, timeless, and utterly swoon-worthy.

Maxi Hobo Bag

Chanel’s Maxi Hobo Bag is the ultimate statement in slouchy, tactile luxury. Crafted in suede calfskin with soft lambskin trim and polished gold-tone hardware, it merges buttery texture with iconic Chanel codes. The generously sized silhouette is elevated with flat quilting and the signature interlocking CC.

Measuring a generous 13.8 x 15 x 5.5 inches, the Maxi Hobo is designed for versatile carry: a leather top handle for hand-held ease or a chunky chain shoulder strap for a relaxed, over-the-shoulder look. With its supple construction, the bag may mold to your movements while keeping essentials secure, making it a practical yet indulgent everyday companion. Available in Dark Brown, Gray, and Black, the Maxi Hobo retails for $7,300.

Mini Camera Case

The Mini Camera Case brings a vintage touch to Chanel’s new suede lineup. Crafted from plush Light Brown suede calfskin with lambskin trimming and a coated CC logo, this boxy, zip-around silhouette channels the charm of classic camera and beauty cases. Double chain shoulder straps with aged-gold-tone hardware add an elevated finish, making it feel both nostalgic and distinctly modern.

Coming in at 6.1 × 7.9 × 3 inches, the Mini Camera Case offers more space than its silhouette suggests, easily fitting daily essentials like a phone, small wallet, keys, and beauty touch-ups. The zip-around, accordion-style opening reveals two structured compartments, a zippered pocket, and a handy slip pocket for quick-access items. Double chain straps allow for effortless shoulder carry, balancing function with elegance. Offered exclusively in Light Brown suede, the Mini Camera Case retails for $6,400.

Mini Pouch & Small Hobo Bag

Expanding the retro vibes, the Mini Pouch and Small Hobo Bag bring texture, color, and playful sophistication to day-to-night styling. Both pieces feature a minimalist pouch-style silhouette crafted from flat-quilted suede calfskin, with a gently cinched top that secures with a discreet magnetic closure. Circular tortoiseshell-effect plexi handles and matching CC emblems complete the look, exuding serious vintage vibes.

Offered in two sizes, the Mini Pouch measures 3.5 × 4.7 × 2 inches and comes in Black and Dark Brown – retailing for $2,775. The larger Small Hobo Bag is 7.1 × 9.4 × 4.7 inches, available in Coral and Dark Brown, and retails for $5,300.

Mini Flap Bag & Flap Bag

Sometimes, Chanel’s classic silhouettes are all you need—and the Suede Flap Bag proves it. This slouchy, soft take on the iconic design brings the tactile luxury of suede to a shape that’s instantly recognizable yet refreshingly modern. Crafted from supple suede calfskin with a single flap design, the bag features matching lambskin leather-coated slightly enlarged CC turnlock and eyelets for a tonal aesthetic. A single aged-gold-tone chain strap allows for elegant shoulder wear, keeping the silhouette polished yet effortless.

Offered in two sizes, the Mini Flap Bag measures 5.5 x 7.9 x 2.4 inches – perfect for essentials like a phone, wallet, and lipstick. Meanwhile the slightly larger Flap Bag provides extra room without losing its charm, measuring 6.7 x 9.4 x 2.8 inches. The Mini Flap Bag is available in Dark Beige and retails for $6,000, while the larger Flap Bag comes in Blue, Dark Beige, and Coral, and retails for $6,600.

Chanel 25 Medium Backpack

Chanel has expanded its 25 lineup with a practical, on-the-go sibling: the Chanel 25 Backpack. Crafted in soft Dark Gray suede calfskin with polished gold-tone hardware, it carries all the much-loved details of the original design, including a drawstring closure with CC toggle, a discreet magnetic tab closure inside, practical side pockets, and chunky chain shoulder straps.

Exclusively available in suede in the medium size, the Chanel 25 Medium Backpack measures 9.1 × 9.1 × 5.5 inches and fits daily essentials—including a phone, wallet, sunglasses, keys, and a small notebook or tablet—without feeling bulky. Wear it over one shoulder for a relaxed vibe, grab the leather top handle for hand carry, or go fully hands-free when needed. The Chanel 25 Medium Backpack retails for $6,500.
