With all the anticipation going around Chanel’s beloved Mini Vanity With Classic Chain that’s due out sometime in mid-March 2020, here’s something else you should keep an eye out for, especially if you are looking for an upsized version that’s truly functional but no less attractive.

Not to be confused with the Vanity Case (an entire range of crossbody bags that come with their very own shoulder sling), the Vanity Pouch comes with a single top handle and is modelled after the vintage beauty cases of yore. It has appeared from time to time in limited quantities at Chanel, with seasonal interpretations like raffia, toile fabric or tweed, and very rarely in full-leather versions that will literally fly off the shelves the moment they land in stores.

Which is why you will not want to miss out on these Spring-Summer 2020 pieces. Yes, the Classic Vanity Pouch returns in Black and Pink grained Caviar leather, both of which are paired with Chanel’s signature gold-tone hardware and furnished with the chic CC logo right on top. Aside from the quilted exterior which makes it easily identifiable from afar, the pouch unzips to a quilted fabric interior (bright pink for Pink and burgundy for Black) to keep your favourite Sublimage skincare safely within.

Measuring some 21 cm by 15 cm (with a roomy depth of 14 cm) that’s more than sufficient for your daily needs, you can use it as God intended or use it as a fun day bag, one that you bring out and about with you. Priced at SGD2470, the Classic Vanity Pouch will be arriving in stores soon, so do keep an eye out for it the next time you head to Chanel. And look out for the matching Classic Small Jewellery Pouch (SGD820) as well, a small case measuring 8.5 cm by 8.5 by 5.3 cm that will keep your jewels (or AirPods) comfy and snug.
