The Chanel 31 is not only a nod to the maison’s storied address on the rue Cambon. It also plays on the French expression ‘se mettre sur son 31’, which translates to ‘dressed to the nines’. What better way to doll up than by adding some fun to your look with two new Chanel 31 SLGs?
Firstly, the compact Clutch With Chain (SGD3650) features the vintage-inspired look and characterful details as the original Chanel 31. Essentially an adorable mini version, it comes with the same built-in handles and diamond quilted body. The 13 cm by 12 cm darling in bright red shiny lambskin comes complete with the iconic CC logo in gold-tone metal.
A magnetic closure helps keep its contents secure, while a matching interwoven leather-chain strap offers added versatility. Hold it in hand, tuck it under your arm or pull out the chain to wear it over the shoulders or across the body when you want to go hands-free.
The second style is the Wallet On Chain (SGD5170) in light green shiny lambskin paired with gold-toned metal hardware. Its flap recalls the look of a Chanel 31 bag that folds in half to become a clutch. As with all handy WOC styles, this packs several pockets and card slots.
Measuring 19 cm by 12 cm, its spacious interior will also hold a mobile device or beauty essentials with ease. And there’s the accompanying chain that makes it a perfect day-to-night companion. Wear it effortlessly crossbody or leave the chain within to use it as a clutch when the occasion arises.
