An enduring symbol from the French fashion house, Chanel’s Classic Handbag has captivated hearts for generations. Its signature CC clasp always secures the bag with a satisfying click, while the leather-woven chain brings a luxurious drape. In its fall-winter 2024 pre-collection, Chanel unveils a new twist, with richly nuanced brown metal (or what you might call rose gold) hardware evocative of burnished brass.

The iconic handbag is renowned for its adaptability. But while materials, colours and even playful embellishments like sequins and prints may vary from season to season, the hardware traditionally shimmers in gold, silver or ruthenium finishes. So this subtle shift from the expected is sure to pique the interest of discerning fans.
This season, Beige and Burgundy iterations embrace the warm brown metal hardware. This unexpected detail extends to the iconic CC clasp, eyelets and chain strap, creating an aesthetic that feels familiar yet fresh all at once.
Priced at SGD16,140 for the small (23 cm by 14.5 cm) and SGD16,820 for the 11.12 (25.5 cm by 15.5 cm), it’s a worthy addition for those who wish to bring to their own line-up another Classic Handbag that’s decidedly different when it comes to its hardware.
