While we’re still shopping for Fall wardrobes, Chanel is already dreaming of coastal vacations. For Cruise 2026/27, Matthieu Blazy brings the spirit of Biarritz to the handbag lineup, with Basque-inspired stripes, playful aquatic details, and familiar House codes.

Blazy continues to redefine and extend the reach of the Maxi Flap, now adding denim and raffia, while freshening the Preppy Coco line with new seasonal finishes. The 26S Small Shopping Bag also gets a new, scaled-down format, while oversized striped carryalls and shell-inspired Minaudières bring a playful seaside feel to the collection.

Let’s take a closer look at the handbag highlights from Chanel’s Cruise 2026/27 collection.

The Classic 11.12 gets a material makeover for Cruise 2026/27, with Blazy taking the house icon in some unexpected directions. 

Artistry comes in many forms, and 3D printed rubber is the latest iteration of the Classic 11.12. Its open-work lattice gives the double-flap silhouette a lighter feel, while the waterproof material adds a practical twist. The design arrives in Blue, and Red – each with tonal hardware.

A light pink satin version takes you under the sea, swapping its familiar quilted finish for an elaborate scene. Delicately beaded fish and marine plant motifs cover the surface, bringing a playful, ocean-inspired touch to the iconic silhouette.

Blazy’s Maxi Flap takes on a distinctly summery feel for Cruise 2026/27, with raffia and denim joining the familiar leather versions.

Tightly woven raffia keeps the Blazy vibe on this season’s edition, offered in Pink and Camel, each finished with gold-tone hardware and a leather-interwoven chain strap. The style measures 7.7 x 12.6 x 3.9 inches. For an aquatic twist, another version comes in Black raffia, scattered with embroidered fish in Red, Yellow, and Green.

Denim brings an entirely different feel to the Maxi Flap. The design features  a clean canvas body, edged with intricate braided trim and finished with chain shoulder straps. The faded, slightly distressed finish gives the fabric a sun-worn look, while the larger proportions (10.2 x 15.2 x 4.3 inches) make a statement. Colorways include Pink, Cinnamon Brown, and a Basque-inspired stripe combining Beige, Blue, Red, and Black.

A classic Blue denim version is also available, featuring flat quilting and subtle Burgundy accents. The contrasting shade appears around the CC turn-lock and along the leather-interwoven chain strap, adding a subtle touch of color.

Leather styles round out the Maxi lineup. Crafted in soft lambskin, the Maxi Flap features Blazy’s signature flat quilting and chain shoulder straps. Measuring 7.7 x 12.6 x 3.9 inches, it comes in Black and Dark Brown.

Meanwhile, Blazy’s coveted grained calfskin Maxi Flap returns, this time in Navy Blue with silver-tone hardware. 

The Flap Bags cover a wide range of moods this season, from statement-making fringed designs and suede styles with oversized hardware to pieces that lean into classic Chanel codes.

Things are heating up with this spicy take on the Small Flap Bag. Its Black-and-White fringed raffia body sets the stage for clusters of vibrant Red beaded Espelette peppers, a Basque influence. Measuring 5.1 x 8.3 x 2 inches, it’s finished with a chain shoulder strap.

From the land to the sea, the next Small Flap Bag takes its inspiration from the sea anemone. Its slightly elongated east-west silhouette (4.7 x 8.5 x 1.7 inches) is covered in layers of Red and Ecru lambskin fringe, with delicate glass pearls embroidered throughout to mimic an underwater effect. 

Looking to the sky, this powder blue suede Flap Bag pairs Blazy’s signature flat quilting with an oversized CC turn-lock in gold-tone metal. Measuring 4.7 x 9.6 x 2.6 inches, it features an adjustable interwoven leather-and-chain shoulder strap threaded through four eyelets, allowing for different carrying lengths. The rotating CC fastening echoes the mechanism seen on the Trapezoid Flap Bag from the Fall-Winter 2026 collection.

Instead of black and white, Chanel offers quilted Ecru with Black calfskin trim. Measuring 6.3 x 9.8 x 2.6 inches, it features two shoulder straps: a slightly chunkier chain strap interwoven with both Ecru and Black leather, alongside a simple adjustable Black leather strap.

The much-loved Small Flap, dubbed the Preppy Coco, gets a seasonal update with new colors, textures, and an additional silhouette. First up, the Mini version, officially named the Clutch with Leather Strap, arrives in fresh grained calfskin colorways, including vibrant Sky Blue and Light Pink. Quilted lambskin and suede also joins the mix in Light Beige and Navy, while the statement option is hard to miss: Pink lambskin entirely embellished with tonal strass.

There’s a new shape to consider, too. Measuring 4.1 x 9.8 x 2 inches, this elongated version retains the line’s pared-back construction, streamlined straps, flap closure, and signature CC detail. It comes in grained calfskin in Light Pink and Dark Brown, as well as Red patent lambskin.

Blazy’s Shopping Bags return for 27C in a fresh mix of textures. His take on the Supermodel Tote, now called the Large Shopping Bag, pairs Beige raffia with Black calfskin handles, a flap, and matching trim. Measuring 9.1 x 15 x 6.3 inches, the style also comes in Dark Brown crocodile-embossed calfskin.

The Chanel 26S Shopping Bag gets a mini makeover for 27C. Now rendered in smooth quilted lambskin, it retains the signature elongated silhouette and extended top handles, reduced to 5.1 x 9.8 x 3.0 inches. The new size comes in Dark Brown, while the Small size is offered in a new Dark Beige shade. 

Another of Blazy’s reissued styles, the Executive Tote, gets a nautical update with Blue-and-White  horizontal stripe faux crocodile calfskin. Measuring 7.9 × 15.4 × 5.1 inches, the style also comes in Dark Brown in a new turtle-effect-embossed patent calfskin.

When it comes to shopping bags, the theory is go big or go home. First launched for Coco Beach 2026, the style returns for Cruise 2026/27 in three sizes, each featuring bold Basque inspired stripes. An oversized CC appliqué in calfskin takes center stage, complemented by matching leather top handles.

The smallest, and arguably the most practical, measures 24.4 x 13.8 x 8.3 inches. It comes in two combinations: Yellow, Dark Blue, Burgundy, and White, or Beige, Green, Burgundy, and White.

The first of the Maxi versions measures 28.3 x 20.5 x 8.7 inches and comes in Dark Blue, Red, and Beige. Then there’s the real showstopper: an enormous 31.5 x 30.7 x 7.9 inches. Big enough to fit the entire family’s beach essentials — and one of the kids — this is a tote that takes oversized to a whole new level. It comes in Yellow, Dark Blue, Burgundy, and White.

Less dramatic and more practical, the Maxi Shopping Bag comes in Black woven raffia, measuring 11.8 x 23.6 x 7.9 inches. A small gold-tone CC emblem sits at the front, while dual chain top handles complete the look. The same style also comes in Beige with Black accents. 

Rounding out the Shopping Bag lineup, the ‘Kelly’ – officially known as the Mini Shopping Bag – arrives in two statement-making finishes. Returning from Blazy’s debut collection, the all-over raffia fringe version combines Blue, Dark Blue, and Beige. For a little seaside sparkle, another edition comes in Dark Beige raffia, embellished with strass and enamel aquatic motifs, including fish and seashells.

Preferring shine over sparkle, the Mini Shopping Bag also comes in quilted patent lambskin in Black and White, each finished with gold-tone hardware featuring a matching enamel inlay.

Blazy’s 26K Hobo with oversized CC emblems is back, this time with new colors and textures. The larger size, measuring 11 x 12.2 x 2 inches, comes in Blue crocodile-embossed calfskin, alongside a Dark Brown version in a new turtle-effect-embossed patent calfskin. Both feature the signature side-mounted CC, an adjustable leather strap, and gold-tone hardware.

A smaller version also joins the lineup in White lambskin, measuring 7.1 x 9.4 x 1.6 inches.

A new Hobo style puts the leather in the CC logo, rather than hardware. The open-top design has an angular silhouette, with folded detailing at the base. It features dual shoulder straps – one in leather and the other a leather-enlaced chain, both extending from the CC emblems on either side. Measuring 10.2 x 15.7 x 4.7 inches, it comes in two versions: Burgundy calfskin with a small CC hardware detail, or a combination of Light Gray canvas with Black calfskin, finished with an oversized CC on the front.

The Chanel 25 gets a seasonal refresh with new colorways in its classic leather construction, as well as a denim update. Rendered in the same washed canvas as the Maxi Flap, the latter features flat quilting and braided trim. Choose from Pink or Beige.

For an easy grab-and-go option, Chanel introduces a new Bucket Bag lineup, offering two distinct interpretations of the everyday shape. 

Crafted in lightweight canvas with calfskin detailing, the design features an oversized lambskin CC appliqué on the front, a slim adjustable leather shoulder strap, and gold-tone hardware. Measuring 14 x 14.8 x 7.9 inches, it comes in Ecru and Dark Blue, alongside a striped version combining Dark Blue, Red, Ecru, and Brown. For a less-seasonal option, the style also comes in a slightly smaller format (10 x 12.6 x 6.3 inches), crafted in suede calfskin.

A rounder take on the Bucket Bag silhouette, this style features a circular base and flat quilting, with an elongated leather strap that adjusts for shoulder wear. Crafted in lambskin with calfskin trim and finished with gold-tone hardware, the style measures 9.8 x 8.9 x 5.7 inches.

A travel-ready addition to the collection, the Bowling Bag arrives in three sizes, with multiple finishes. Each features stitched CC emblems at either end, a central CC emblem on the front, and dual top handles. Detachable, adjustable shoulder straps offer an alternative way to carry the bag, while a two-way zip closure and four protective feet complete the design.

The smaller two sizes feature interwoven leather-and-chain top handles. The smallest measures 5.5 x 10.2 x 4.7 inches and comes in Burgundy grained calfskin, while the medium measures 7.1 x 14.6 x 6.7 inches and comes in Black. The oversized Maxi takes a different approach, with braided leather top handles and flat quilting across its suede exterior. Measuring 11.4 x 22 x 9.4 inches, it comes in Dark Beige and Brown.

First seen in Métiers d’Art 2026, Blazy’s vintage-inspired Clutch with Leather Strap returns in a nautical finish. The east-west silhouette is rendered in faux crocodile with bold Blue-and-White stripes, echoing this season’s Executive Tote. A signature CC emblem doubles as the clasp on the framed top, while adjustable longline straps allow it to be carried by hand or over the shoulder. Measuring 4.7 x 11 x 5.1 inches, it also comes in Dark Brown.

Sculpted rattan gives the Small Basket with Chain its distinctive curved silhouette and integrated top handle. A Burgundy lambskin inner pouch sits inside, secured with a CC drawstring, while a detachable chain shoulder strap offers an alternative way to carry it.

Sea or city, this Large Clutch earns its place. Rendered in quilted Beige calfskin, trimmed with Black calfskin trim. Measuring 6.5 x 10.6 x 1.8 inches, it secures with a discreet magnetic closure. 

Blazy introduces two mini Vanity Bag styles, each with a hard-sided, luggage-inspired shape and top handle. The classic rectangular version (4.3 x 7.5 x 2.6 inches) is crafted in White and Black grained calfskin, with a CC appliqué and piping. An east-west variation pairs Dark Brown suede with Burgundy crocodile-embossed calfskin accents, measuring 3.7 x 8.9 x 2.6 inches. Both styles feature a hinged opening secured by two clasps and come with a detachable chain shoulder strap.

Blazy brings a little fun to after-dark dressing with two designs that put a spin on Chanel signatures. 

The Espelette pepper appears again, this time taking center stage on the Small Evening Bag. The design features a black beaded body with cascading red and green chilli pepper embellishments. Measuring 4.1 x 5.3 x 2.6 inches, the design comes with a delicate chain shoulder strap.

The second Evening Bag revisits classic Chanel codes through an unexpected construction. Crafted from wooden beads arranged to create a quilted finish, it’s trimmed with gold-tone metal. Measuring 5.3 x 6.9 x 2.2 inches, the design is finished with a leather-interwoven chain strap and the iconic double C clasp.

Blazy takes his nautical inspiration into the evening with two new under-the-sea Minaudières. First, the Anemone Minaudière draws on the vivid colors and intricate form of its namesake, with a rounded silhouette entirely embroidered in textural Red and White beads. Measuring 4.7 x 6.1 x 3.9 inches, it brings a little underwater drama to the accessories lineup.

The Shell Minaudière brings a little treasure from the deep. Shaped like a seashell with a pearlescent finish, it is adorned with gold-tone and imitation pearl marine details. Measuring 4.7 x 6.1 x 2.6 inches, the seaside treasure can be carried by hand or with its delicate chain shoulder strap. When not in use, it can be displayed on its gold-tone coral stand.
