Chanel Fall-Winter 2026 (26K) Bags Have Arrived

As summer gives way to fall, Chanel’s Fall-Winter 2026 handbags are landing in boutiques, continuing the direction blazed by Matthieu Blazy. Presented last spring in Paris, the long-awaited lineup offers new designs, refreshed classics, and reinterpretations of Blazy’s original designs. Among the highlights are Blazy’s now-signature Maxi Flap in highly anticipated crocodile-embossed calfskin and a new Hobo Bag featuring a fresh take on the iconic CC turn-lock, with a chic swivel mechanism that puts a new spin on the familiar hardware.

The collection also showcases the talent of Maison d’art Goossens and Maison d’art Montex, with intricate embellishments elevating classic Chanel bags in unexpected ways. Across 26K, familiar shapes meet new materials, proportions, and hardware, while natural tones give way to iridescent pastels.

Chanel’s ultimate classic, the 11.12 handbag, provides a canvas for the Maison’s atelier talent, transforming the familiar silhouette through intricate embellishment and craftsmanship.

The iconic 11.12 Handbag is reimagined in Light Green lambskin, drawing from the palette of Impressionist paintings. Scattered across its quilted surface are waterlily charms crafted by Maison d’art Goossens in Light Orange enamel with gold-tone metal.

Other 11.12 Handbags showcase floral embroidery by Maison d’art Montex. The Ecru satin version is decorated with multicolor flowers and beads, accented with glass pearls and gold-tone metal. A second embroidered version arrives in Light Pink mesh, embellished with floral embroidery, sequins, glass and pearls.

The 11.12 isn’t the only Chanel classic with a new look for 26K. Blazy first revived and reimagined Coco Chanel’s original 2.55 in his debut collection, recasting the icon as a conversation piece. Now, the 2.55 Handbag gets the Blazy treatment once again, reworked in quilted Black lambskin, with its signature gold-tone chain taking center stage. A thick, woven chain drapes across the flap, extending to the clasp, while the Mademoiselle turnlock completes the design.

Can’t decide between the 2.55 and the 11.12? Meet the layered Flap Bag, where two of Chanel’s most recognizable designs come together. Crafted from puffy quilted lambskin, the double-flap silhouette features a Mademoiselle turnlock on the lower flap and a CC turnlock on the upper flap. The chain follows suit, combining Bijoux-style links with the traditional leather-interwoven strap. Measuring 6.3 x 9.8 x 2.6 inches, choose from Black and Brown, both paired with gold-tone hardware.

Blazy likes a flap — and 26K introduces several new styles.

Chanel puts the CC in motion for 26K, introducing a new closure on a trio of Trapezoid Flap Bags. Rather than the traditional twisting turn-lock, one of the layered Cs swivels open to release the bag. All three feature a structured trapezoid silhouette with slim, leather adjustable double shoulder straps. The largest comes in Maxi proportions, measuring 8.7 x 13.6 x 4.3 inches, offered in plain Black grained calfskin or flat-quilted Dark Brown lambskin. A second Maxi measures 7.3 x 12.4 x 3.1 inches in quilted Brown lambskin, while the smallest measures 4.7 x 8.1 x 2.4 inches in Dark Green suede calfskin with contrasting calfskin trim.

A Small Flap Bag gets a subtle hardware update – adding CC embellished metal work fittings to the sides of the bag. Not merely decorations, these logos do double duty, keeping the leather-enlaced chain strap in place. Secured by a metal CC turn-lock, the bag measures 6.3 x 9.1 x 2.4 inches, and is available in Light Brown grained shiny calfskin, Dark Brown lambskin, or Black lambskin.

Chanel trades quilting for clean lines in a mini with outsized presence. Crafted from smooth calfskin, the Mini Flap Bag’s trapezoidal silhouette is framed with gold-tone metal trim, while the classic CC turn-lock and leather-interwoven shoulder strap keep the design unmistakably Chanel. Available in Black or Dark Beige, it measures 4.9 x 7.9 x 2.6 inches.

The CC turn-lock may be Chanel’s shorthand, but this Small Flap Bag spells out the name in full. Measuring an elongated 4.7 x 8.7 x 1.6 inches, the Dark Burgundy crocodile-embossed calfskin design features a green enamel CC turn-lock and fixed chain strap adorned with cascading C H A N E L lettering. Colorful enamel charms including birds and botanical motifs add a playful finishing touch.

Blazy’s Flap Bags return for Fall-Winter 2026 in new proportions, materials, and finishes, spanning compact Minis to an oversized XXL interpretation.

Following the hype surrounding the Maxi Flap, the silhouette was downsized into a Mini for 26B, and is now reimagined for Fall-Winter 2026 in a fresh mix of materials. Crafted from linen and silicone, the 5.1 x 7.9 x 2.4-inch design combines Red, Black, and Grey for a maximalist take on the minimalist style.

Blazy’s SS26 Maxi Flap is back, this time in faux exotic leathers. The original model with CC closure and leather straps now is crafted from croc-embossed calfskin and measures 7.7 x 12.6 x 3.9 inches. It comes in deep Burgundy and Dark Khaki, while a larger version measuring 10.2 x 15.2 x 4.3 inches is set to arrive in an iridescent Turquoise finish, spotted on Peggy Gou ahead of the launch.

Chanel’s leather-enlaced chain strap also returns to the Maxi Flap, in suede crocodile-embossed calfskin. Sharing the same proportions,  7.7 x 12.6 x 3.9-inches, this version is available in two neutral shades – Camel and Dark Brown, both paired with gold-tone hardware. 

A quilted suede option offers a new Dark Green colorway.

As if the Maxi isn’t a big enough statement, Chanel blows it up to  XXL proportions. At 10.2 x 15.2 x 4.3 inches, the oversized silhouette is built from Dark Brown, Red, and White shearling patchwork. Beneath the plush exterior, a CC turn-lock rests on a leather tab, while chain shoulder straps finish off the supersized design. 

Sequins bring a graphic edge to the Small Flap Bag, with a Black and Ecru version covered in contrasting sequins for a graphic painterly effect. Measuring 5.5 x 8.3 x 3.1 inches, the design is finished with gold-tone hardware and a long chain shoulder strap. A second style is covered entirely in Ecru sequins.

The Clutch seen on the Spring-Summer 2026 runway returns, now as a Flap Bag style. The boxy trapezoid silhouette measures 6.1 x 8.7 x 3.7 inches and features a full flap secured by a discrete magnetic closure. A cut-out at the top reveals a CC emblem perched above the flap, concealing a kiss-lock closure inside. Choose from shiny Brown lambskin or Black crocodile-embossed calfskin, each finished with a plain leather shoulder strap.

A close relative of the Spring-Summer 2026 suede Maxi Flap, this Mini version offers flat quilting in Dark Beige suede. Measuring 5.1 x 7.9 x 2.4 inches, it features double-flap construction and the classic leather-interwoven chain, threaded through four eyelets.

Classic with a twist, a duo of fairytale-inspired Classic Flap Bags arrives with top handles. The Mini measures 4.7 x 7.9 x 2.4 inches in luminous Turquoise crocodile-embossed iridescent calfskin, adorned with enamel and gold-tone metal botanical charms, including a sculpted leaf and delicate flower. Its larger sibling measures 6.1 x 10 x 2.4 inches in quilted Dark Green lambskin. Both feature fixed, intertwined gold-tone top handles inspired by twisting branches, alongside a long leather-interwoven shoulder strap.

First seen on the Métiers d’Art 2026 runway, Chanel’s Flap Bag with Top Handle returns this season. Measuring 6.3 x 10.2 x 1 inch, the structured silhouette features a gently curved base, front flap with a CC turn-lock, leather-interwoven chain, and rigid curved top handle secured to the sides with CC-engraved rivets. Choose from pared-back Black shiny calfskin or crocodile-embossed calfskin in Dark Red or Burgundy.

Another croc moment comes in the form of the Clutch with Chain, a cylindrical East–West barrel-shaped bag with a curved top handle. The flap-front closure is secured by a CC turn-lock, and an additional leather-chain strap facilitates shoulder wear. Measuring 4.3 x 9.1 x 4.9 inches, the Clutch with Chain comes in iridescent embossed calfskin in two shades – Light purple, and Turquoise, as well as a neutral Dark Brown.

Chanel introduces four new Hobo Bag designs with a relaxed approach to its signature handbag codes.

Chanel’s new Hobo Bag curves gracefully as it honors the Maison’s codes. Measuring 11 x 16.3 x 3.1 inches, the Large Hobo features a zip-top closure, with small CC emblem on the front, and leather-interwoven chain straps secured by another CC emblem. Choose from flat-quilted Dark Green lambskin or Dark Beige suede. A smaller version measures 9.6 x 14 x 3 inches and comes in Black lambskin.

A chain-free take on the Hobo keeps the same curved, semi-structured silhouette and side hardware, this time in Light Brown grained shiny calfskin. Measuring 11 x 16.3 x 3.1 inches, the design features an adjustable slim leather strap for shoulder or hand carry, with the CC-accented hardware securing the strap at the sides.

Another Hobo brings the oversized logo to the side of the bag, anchoring the strap to the streamlined silhouette. Measuring 11 x 12.2 x 2 inches, the open-top design is secured with a magnetic fastening and finished with a slim adjustable leather strap for hand or shoulder carry. Choose from flat-quilted Dark Burgundy lambskin or Khaki crocodile-embossed calfskin, both paired with gold-tone hardware.

A nod to Chanel’s Chain Around Bag from 2008–12, this new Hobo reworks the archival style in a softer, slouchier silhouette. Measuring 8.9 x 13.4 x 2.6 inches, the flat-quilted lambskin design features a chain-and-leather strap that wraps around the body before continuing into the shoulder strap. The Hobo Handbag is available in White or Dark Green, with gold-tone hardware.

Rounding out the Hobo Bags is the Chanel 25, which returns across its sizes in a fresh mix of shades and materials. The Mini comes in Ecru grained calfskin with gold-tone metal, alongside high-shine patent leather versions and a reworked Black nylon iteration. The Small keeps things classic in Light Brown grained calfskin with gold-tone metal, while a second version swaps the leather for Burgundy suede calfskin with gold-tone hardware.

Reintroduced last season, the Executive Tote returns in a new colorway, alongside fresh silhouettes. Paying homage to the 2005 original, the smaller Fuchsia version retains its sleek East-West proportions (7.9 x 15.4 x 5.1 inches), front slip pocket secured by a CC turn-lock, and slightly elongated top handles. 

The Executive Tote also squares off for 26K, with the Large Shopping Bag. Measuring 12.4 x 18.5 x 5.9 inches, it offers a travel-friendly take on the familiar design, while a smaller everyday-friendly version measures 7.5 x 11 x 3.9 inches. Across the new silhouette choose from crocodile embossed calfskin in Khaki and Light Blue, or smooth Fuchsia calfskin – all finished with a gold-tone CC turn-lock.

The Executive Tote isn’t the only archival design getting a fresh take this season. After bringing back Chanel’s iconic Supermodel Tote from the early 1990s, Blazy now scales down the design into a Small Shopping Bag for 26K. Measuring 9.4 x 11.8 x 5.3 inches, the design is crafted from Black grained calfskin and retains its front tab secured with a CC turn-lock, alongside Blazy’s signature leather shoulder straps. A zip-top fastening keeps the contents secure, while a CC leather charm adds the finishing touch.

First seen in the Métiers d’Art 2024/25 collection, this pre-Blazy design returns in a fresh Burgundy and Black colorway. Crafted from quilted suede calfskin with a smooth, shiny lambskin base, the Shopping Bag silhouette balances soft texture with structured details. 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.

Curved in all the right places, this crescent-shaped clutch takes a sculptural approach to the classic evening bag. Measuring 7.1 x 11.8 x 3.9 inches, its gently rounded top meets a subtle V-shaped base, while a structured gold-tone band wraps around the upper edge to define the shape and secure the closure. A tiny CC emblem completes the design. For 26K, the silhouette arrives in quilted suede in Dark Beige or crocodile-embossed calfskin, in Navy Blue, and Khaki.

Chanel keeps the curves coming with a second half-moon clutch, this time taking a classic approach to the silhouette. Crafted from crocodile-embossed calfskin in Black, the structured Large Clutch opens with a hinged fastening and features a structured top finished with a tiny CC emblem on a tab.

Following the same crocodile-embossed calfskin and gold-tone metal construction, Chanel introduces a fresh trapezoid-shaped Large Clutch. Measuring 7.9 x 12.2 x 2 inches, the elongated silhouette features a structured top bar with a snap closure and a tab accented by a CC emblem. Choose from Navy Blue or Dark Brown, both paired with gold-tone hardware.

For a minimalist offering within the Clutch lineup, Chanel keeps things streamlined with the return of its rectangular silhouette from Spring-Summer 2026. Crafted in shiny lambskin, it arrives in Brown, Black, and Dark Red, with the cut-out gold-tone CC emblem providing the only embellishment. Measuring 5.1 x 9.1 x 1.6 inches, the design is finished with gold-tone hardware. This clutch also comes in wrinkled metallic calfskin with a silvery finish and contrasting gold-tone hardware.

The Chanel 31 is reimagined as a sleek Clutch with Chain, Turquoise crocodile-embossed iridescent calfskin. Measuring 7.1 x 9.8 x 1.6 inches, the design is finished with a tiny CC emblem, and a chain shoulder strap.

Completing the clutch collection is the sleek and chic Clutch with Leather Strap. Crafted from silvery metallic calfskin, the East-West 4.9 x 9.3 x 2.2-inch flap design is secured with a CC turn-lock in contrasting gold-tone metal. An adjustable slim leather shoulder strap allows for hands-free carry and can be removed.

Chanel’s Minaudières may be designed to turn heads, but when it comes to carrying anything, they’re largely along for the ride – think statement piece first, storage space second.

If the Métiers d’Art 2026 collection brought us a taste of the Big Apple with its Apple Minaudière, 26K takes us somewhere a little exotic. Enter the Pomegranate. Crafted from enamel, imitation pearls, and gold-tone metal in Red, Gold, and Green, the jewel-like mini bag measures 3.7 x 3.1 x 3.1 inches. A short leather-interlaced chain suspends the design, while a tiny hummingbird perches alongside the fruit.

Chanel puts a playful spin on the morning ritual with a petite Minaudière shaped like a coffee bean. Crafted in gold-tone metal, it features a CC emblem at the top and a long black leather-interwoven chain. Measuring 2.6 x 3.1 x 0.8 inches, it may not hold your morning latte, but it certainly brings a little caffeine boost to any look.

A new oval-shaped Lantern Minaudière introduces tortoiseshell with a metal twist. The cage-like design encases a hard-shell interior, crafted from lacquered metal and strass in Brown and Orange. Measuring 4.9 x 5.3 x 2.4 inches, it is finished with a CC emblem and silver-tone metal details. Carry the Lantern Minaudière by hand or wear it on the shoulder with its delicate chain strap.

Blurring the line between Minaudière and Evening Bag, is this hard-case bag. Crafted from mother-of-pearl, enamel, and framed with gold-tone metal, the boxy design measures 6.7 x 5.5 x 1.4 inches and is topped with a fixed gold-tone metal handle decorated with enamel koi fish and lily pads. A CC closure secures the bag at the top, while a chain shoulder strap offers alternative styling.
