While we’re not quite ready to retire our raffia totes and pastel mini bags, Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2024/25 Pre-Collection promises to make us eagerly anticipate the arrival of cooler months. With its chic autumnal offerings, it’s the perfect preview of what’s to come.

The 24B handbag lineup features iconic styles reimagined in autumnal hues and a sprinkling of metallics. Black, burgundy, and tweed fabrications fill the bag roster, in classics as well as elevated Mini Flaps with vintage vibes and statement-making clutches.
Let’s take a closer look at the bags. . .
Classic 11.12 Handbag
While a black Classic flap is always in style, for Fall/Winter 2024/25 Chanel offers its Classic 11.12 Handbag in two non-black sophisticated autumnal shades. Opt for the lambskin iteration in Burgundy with rose-gold hardware or a Dark Blue version in grained shiny calfskin paired with shiny gold-tone hardware.
Flap Bags
A seasonal alternative to the Classic Flap, Chanel introduces a fresh take on the iconic silhouette. Measuring 6.2 x 9.4 x 2 inches, and with a single flap design, this Flap Bag will carry more than the small double flap. Crafted in shiny black lambskin, and finished with gold-tone hardware, the bag boasts a chunkier, non-adjustable chain.
There’s a similar design in a Maxi size too. Measuring 9.8 x 14.4 x 5.5 inches, the Maxi Flap Bag is crafted in shiny calfskin with gold-tone metal.
Another flap option resembles a Wallet on Chain but boasts more generous dimensions, measuring 6.2 x 10.1 x 2.3 inches. Constructed with a patent calfskin trimmed quilted design, similar to the Chanel 31 Shopping Bag, the flap is secured with a turn-lock fastening. The chain attaches through four eyelets, allowing it to be adjusted for versatile styling.
Mini Flap Bags
Burgundy is looking to be the color of the season and Chanel is right in on the trend. If you’re not ready to dive into a full-sized burgundy bag, how about a mini? Chanel’s Mini Flap Bag with Top Handle combines the Classic Flap aesthetic with contemporary design elements – including shiny lambskin and a chain detail top handle. Measuring 9.8 x 6.6 x 3.1 inches, it’s on the more generous side of the mini scale. Also available in Black.
For Chanel tweed enthusiasts, the Mini Flap is reimagined in Beige, Light Yellow, and Ecru cotton, wool-tweed with delicate sequin detailing that will catch the light.
A nod to 90s vintage, a new Mini Flap Bag in shiny lambskin with aged gold-tone hardware measures 5.3 x 7.4 x 2.7 inches. Available in Black, Dark Beige, Pink, and Burgundy shiny lambskin, it features an oversized CC turn-lock. You can also find this new style in Burgundy and Black cotton tweed.
The original Mini Flap Bag receives the Chanel pearl treatment, available in Black or White shiny lambskin with imitation pearls studded throughout the chain.
Another elevated classic, the Mini Flap comes with a new adjustable chain shoulder strap, finished with a chunky quilted gold-tone shoulder rest, doubling as jewelry. Measuring 4.3 × 7 × 2.3 inches, this new design is available in Pink or Black lambskin, both with gold-tone hardware.
Mini Classic Handbag
For a timeless choice, the Mini Classic Handbag in gray printed denim features an all-over black graphic floral print with ruthenium-finish metal hardware.
This oddly named ‘Clutch’, boasts a silhouette reminiscent of the Mini Flap Bag, measuring 5.5 x 8.2 x 3.1 inches. Slightly larger than the Classic Mini Flap, it features a black and white sequin design with CC and bows.
Chanel 22
Chanel’s 22 returns to the bag lineup . . . in pretty metallic hues.
The cute and coveted Chanel 22 Mini Handbag is reimagined in metallic lambskin with matching lacquered metal hardware – available in Dark Purple, and Pink.
Meanwhile, the more practical medium size comes in silver metallic calfskin with matching silver-tone hardware.
Perhaps metallics aren’t your thing? If that’s the case, the Small Chanel 22 is now available in a Light Gray shiny calfskin with gold-tone hardware.
There’s also a denim version with an all-over black graphic floral print with ruthenium-finish metal hardware.
31 Shopping Bag
First launched in 2018, Chanel’s retro-inspired 31 Mini Shopping Bag returns as well.
Now available in a chic two-tone Dark Beige and Black shiny lambskin, you can be sure to match your Chanel ballerinas in style. Measuring 8.6 x 9 x 2.1 inches, this mini offers hand-carry, as well as crossbody wear thanks to its chain shoulder strap.
If your mini collection is already overstocked (for the moment anyway), check out the Shopping Bag in all-Dark Beige shiny lambskin with gold-tone hardware.
The new Small Tote, a hybrid of the 31 Shopping Bag and Classic Flap, measures 9.4 x 13.3 x 3.1 inches and is available in Light Gray lambskin. Featuring quilted detail hardware, and a front pocket secured by a CC turn-lock, the bag comes complete with a chain shoulder strap, you can wear the Small Tote effortlessly on the shoulder, or hand-held.
If you’d prefer a mini, there’s a scaled-down version, measuring 7.4 × 9.8 × 1.2 inches in Black.
Shopping Bags
Chanel introduces a refresh of its bowling bag silhouette this season. With a design not dissimilar to Louis Vuitton’s iconic Alma, the bag features a curved zip-top silhouette and is finished with chain-top handles and a shoulder strap. The Small Tote is available in Black shiny lambskin with gold-tone hardware and measures 5.9 × 7.8 × 2.3 inches.
There are fabric options too – including Light Pink, Beige, and Ecru cotton-wool tweed with sequins. Or, for more of a statement, check out the Navy Blue, White, Orange, and Pink wool-tweed check design – fit for a chic picnic.
For mini lovers, the shrunken down version measures a petite 4.3 × 6.2 × 2.1 inches and is available in Black shiny lambskin, as well as the tactile shearling lambskin in Dark Beige.
Backpacks
A handful of backpacks will have you going hands-free this season – all in autumn-appropriate shades.
Khaki lovers can choose from the Chanel 22 Backpack in calfskin with silver-tone hardware, and a more classic design-grained shiny calfskin Backpack.
For a touch of the wine-y hue, there’s the Backpack quilted drawstring design in grained lambskin with gold-tone hardware, measuring 8.6 x 6.8 x 3.5 inches.
Bucket Bag
Bucket bags remain a staple style for fall. Chanel introduces a new Small Bucket Bag measuring a compact 6.8 x 7 x 4.7 inches. Shown in black lambskin with gold-tone hardware, it features a chain drawstring and shoulder strap.
Bowling Bag
The retro-inspired Small Bowling Bag in shiny Burgundy lambskin with chunky gold-tone hardware satisfies the east-west bag trend. Measuring 5.9 x 9.8 x 4.3 inches, the zipper-top closure will keep your belongings secure.
Camera Case
Camera cases are a forever favorite at Chanel. This season, it’s the Burgundy lambskin quilted design catching attention. Featuring a zipper fastening, shoulder strap, and all-around chain detailing, this statement bag measures 5.5 × 9 × 2.7 inches.
Clutches
Chanel brings bow clutches back this season, with a metallic lambskin bow design with plenty of 80s-inspired charm. Coming in at 5.9 × 8.6 × 1.6 inches, this fairly roomy clutch can be worn on the shoulder with the chain shoulder strap, or hand-held. Secured with the CC turn-lock closure, this new Clutch is available in Silver with silver-tone hardware, as well as Pink with gold-tone hardware – fit for a Barbie.
A truly Fall/Winter-appropriate design, the Clutch with Chain is crafted from tactile quilted velvet with diamanté detailing. This glamorous clutch offers a classic Chanel look in a hand-held size. Measuring 5.1 x 9 x 2 inches, it comes in black velvet with gold-tone hardware.
