Chanel, the epitome of Parisian elegance, unveils a new chapter in its handbag lexicon with the Small Tote. The standout piece from the house’s fall-winter 2024 pre-collection is a clear departure from its signature structured flap bags. Embodying the spirit of effortless chic, it defies conventional expectations while remaining undeniably Chanel.
The bag’s defining characteristic lies in its innovative handle design. Dual top handles, intentionally crafted to drape softly rather than stand upright, lend the Small Tote a casual, effortless allure. This thoughtful detail not only enhances the bag’s aesthetic but also ensures optimal comfort when using the accompanying shoulder strap.
Crafted in the house’s signature lambskin, the Small Tote is a compact yet capacious companion for the modern woman. Measuring a mere 20 cm by 15 cm, this petite powerhouse accommodates daily essentials with ease. Its sleek silhouette and gold-tone metallic hardware further exudes a sophistication beyond trends.

For those who yearn for the iconic Chanel tweed, another slightly larger version will please. At 27.5 cm by 20 cm, it promises ample space without compromising the bag’s inherent charm. A delicate pink hue pairs with a subtle interplay of beige and ecru tweed for a sense of feminine grace, while a bolder navy and white checkered pattern infuses a contemporary twist with pops of orange and pink.
Chanel’s new Small Tote defies categorisation, inviting its wearer to embrace a new era of chic, functional bags. With prices starting at SGD7310, you can find it at its Marina Bay Sands and Takashimaya Shopping Centre boutiques.
