Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2024/25 collection, first unveiled by the serene waters of West Lake in Hangzhou, China, has arrived in boutiques. Inspired by Chinese culture and brought to life through Parisian craftsmanship, the collection blends tradition and artistry across a range of handbag silhouettes – from ultra-tiny micros to slouchy oversized styles.

This season emphasizes rich textures like glossy patent leather, tweed, satin, and suede. Metallic finishes, intricate embellishments, and two-tone accents echo Chanel’s timeless codes, while the palette spans deep neutrals to soft pastels and burnished metallics.
Let’s take a closer look at the handbag highlights. . .
Classic Handbags
The iconic 11.12 Handbag goes ornate this season, reimagined in dazzling sequin variations. Crafted from lustrous satin, one version is intricately embroidered with floral motifs in earthy brown and gold sequins and glazed beads. Another features a similar construction in classic black satin with dark gray and deep burgundy accents, offering a moodier, more dramatic take on the same theme.

Micro Flap Bags
One of the most highly anticipated 25A releases, the micro-sized Classic Flap measures just 3.1 x 4.9 x 2 inches. Crafted from supple lambskin and finished with hallmark Chanel details, each features a double flap, mini turn-lock, and double-chain strap. A crystal-adorned heart charm (seemingly non-detachable) and lobster clasp let it hook onto a Classic Flap or larger bag. Available in dark brown, black, white, light pink, light blue, gold, and burgundy – all with gold-tone hardware.
Mini Flap Bags
From the micro to more spacious minis, Chanel extends its textural themes throughout the Mini Flap collection with a selection of velvet designs.

2.55 Handbags & Other Flap Bags
The iconic 2.55 handbag returns this season in a chic mini size, featuring a luxurious black velvet version adorned with signature gold-tone hardware.
Meanwhile, one standout design debuts a vertical, north-south silhouette, officially named the Clutch with Chain. Nodding to the 2.55, this structured mini features a zip-top fastening, sturdy base, and the signature Mademoiselle turnlock. Measuring 5.1 x 4.7 x 2.7 inches, it’s finished with a bijoux chain strap and can be worn on its own or styled alongside larger silhouettes, as seen on the runway. Choose from shiny white lambskin and dark brown.

Chanel steps beyond the Classic lineup with a sleek East-West silhouette for 25A. Crafted from glossy, quilted lacquered lambskin, this single-flap bag features an oversized CC turn-lock in aged gold-tone hardware. A chunky chain strap with a leather shoulder pad allows adjustable styling—worn on the shoulder, tucked under the arm, or carried as a clutch.
Available in two sizes, the mini measures 4.7 x 7.7 x 2 inches, while the larger version, with a more elongated shape, measures 7.1 x 11.8 x 2 inches. Available in timeless black and rich dark brown.

Classically Chanel, this season’s offering pays homage to the Maison’s iconic beige and black footwear with its elegant two-tone design. Crafted from quilted beige goat suede and smooth black lambskin, this flap-style bag features the signature CC turnlock closure and aged gold-tone hardware, complemented by an adjustable shoulder strap for versatile wear on the shoulder or across the body.
Available in two sizes, the larger, more squared style measures 5.9 x 7 x 2.5 inches, while the smaller version offers more of an east-west silhouette.
Shopping Bags
Chanel expands its two-tone collection with the Shopping Bag lineup. Crafted from quilted goat suede paired with a smooth, shiny lambskin leather base, it balances soft structure with a relaxed silhouette. The open-top design features double chain shoulder straps, a curved buckle-detail handle, a drawstring-style chain accent, and a CC turn-lock closure.
This style comes in two distinct shapes. The East-West runway-inspired silhouette is offered in two sizes: the smaller measures 9.4 x 14.2 x 5.5 inches, while the larger version measures 11 x 15.7 x 5.9 inches. The taller North-South iteration measures 15.4 x 13.2 x 6.3 inches. Across the range, options include two-tone combinations of beige and black or gray and black, as well as a sleek all-black leather version.
Bowling Bags & Travel Bags
Bowling bags are a key focus this season, available in multiple sizes that balance classic shapes with fresh details. When upsized, this style becomes your vacation companion, the Chanel Travel Bag.
First up is a classic barrel-shaped bowling bag crafted from glossy aged calfskin in black and dark brown. The design includes a zip-top closure, double top handles, and a long chain shoulder strap for versatile wear. Available in two sizes, the Large measures 6.7 x 12.2 x 5.1 inches, while the Maxi measures 9.1 x 16.1 x 7.1 inches. Both sizes offer a practical zip pocket along the back and protective metal feet for durability. A white version is also available, crafted in grained calfskin.
Though officially named the Travel Bag, its oversized silhouette echoes the bowling bag style. Measuring a generous 11.4 x 17.1 x 7.1 inches, this roomy design features a double zip-top fastening, splitting the interior into two spacious compartments, plus a large zippered front pocket for easy access to essentials. It includes a flat top handle and double chain shoulder straps. Made from aged calfskin with a glossy sheen, the Travel Bag is available in black and dark brown with aged gold-tone hardware.
Satin Bags
Departing from Chanel’s signature leather, satin takes center stage in these soft, pillow-like bags. It features a soft, pillow-like silhouette highlighted by bold oversized quilting and elegant chain shoulder straps. Offered in two sizes, the standard Pouch Bag measures 7.9 x 12.2 x 0.8 inches, while the Large measures a generous 11 x 15.7 x 0.8 inches. These puffy pouches can be worn on the shoulder with their double chain straps or carried as a clutch. Available in classic black, light green, and ecru, each is finished with gold-tone hardware.

Backpacks
A modern take on the ’90s flap-backpack, this quilted grained calfskin design features aged gold-tone hardware and the signature CC turnlock closure. Measuring 7.1 x 9.4 x 2.4 inches, it offers versatile styling with a curved top handle for hand carry and chunky chain straps that can be worn as a backpack or casually slung over one shoulder. Available in classic black and dark brown.
Chanel 25
While we await the launch of the new mini-sized Chanel 25, which debuted on the Cruise 2025/26 runway, several new colorways for the small size have already arrived. The small Chanel 25 is now available in muted blue-toned gray, burgundy, and a shimmering metallic dark gold.

Adding texture to the lineup, the Chanel 25 is also available in two quilted wool tweed variations — one in cream and another in navy blue.
Mini Shopping Bag
Affectionately dubbed the Chanel Kelly, the Mini Shopping Bag returns for 25A in fresh colorways and luxe materials. The jet black velvet from the 24A collection reappears, alongside dove gray and a rich dark brown lambskin version. But the true showstoppers are the metallics, light gold and dark gold – each finished with gold-tone hardware.

Bucket Bags
A new bucket silhouette joins the 25A lineup, defined by distinctive 12-point star pleating that adds subtle dimension to its flat quilted lambskin body. Measuring 7.1 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches, the design features a drawstring closure, top handle, chain shoulder strap, and four protective feet. Available in black, white, and dark gold lambskin, each version is finished with gold-tone hardware.

Another new addition leans into vintage-inspired charm. Crafted from soft lambskin with all-over quilting, this design features a chain drawstring fastening that nods to classic Chanel styles from the ’80s and ’90s. Measuring 8.3 x 7.1 x 3 inches, it includes an adjustable leather strap for comfortable, versatile wear. Tassels on each side are tipped with gold-tone sphere hardware — a detail lifted straight from vintage Chanel archives. Available in black, burgundy, metallic dark gold, and metallic brown.
Lantern Bag
A nod to traditional Chinese lanterns, this sculptural design translates cultural motifs into fluid leather folds. Crafted from smooth lambskin, the mostly unquilted silhouette is shaped with origami-like folds and accented with subtle quilting panels at the top and base. Measuring 7 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches, it features a side zip opening, a chain wristlet, a vintage-style tassel, and a discreet CC emblem. Available in black, white, and metallic dark gold, each version is finished with gold-tone hardware.
Cuff & Clutch Bags
Meet Chanel’s new Cuff Bag, defined by its soft, rounded silhouette, which Vogue has noted is loosely inspired by a fortune cookie. Crafted from shiny lambskin and measuring 4.3 x 9.1 x 5.5 inches, it’s detailed with oversized quilting and a zip-top closure. A wide, flat leather flap secured with a chain-linked CC turn-lock doubles as both a top handle and a functional fastening. A detachable chain strap allows it to be styled on the shoulder or carried by hand. Available in black, white, gold, and light yellow, each version is finished with gold-tone hardware.
Bringing a structured contrast to the otherwise soft silhouettes of the 25A clutch lineup, Chanel introduces a new box clutch. Crafted from glossy black grained calfskin, this tactile piece is framed in aged gold with matching quilted detailing along the trim. The vintage-inspired hinge opening is secured by a clasp closure, finished with black enamel and a subtle CC emblem. Measuring 4.9 x 8 x 1.9 inches, this sleek clutch is designed to be carried by hand or tucked neatly under the arm. The same design is also offered in black shiny lambskin.

Minaudières
Two dazzling minaudières round off the Métiers d’Art 2024/25 collection.
The first is a star-shaped box evening bag crafted from silver metal and adorned with shimmering rhinestones and crystal CC embellishments – echoing Viard’s Spring-Summer 2023 star-themed designs. Measuring 5.1 x 5.1 x 1.6 inches, the Star minaudière can be carried as a clutch or worn on the shoulder or crossbody with its delicate silver-tone chain.
