Chanel has long understood the subtle power of colour. For spring-summer 2025, it switches up its typical bold statements, instead whispering a delicate narrative through a quartet of pale and pastel-hued bags. Together, they showcase a gentle symphony of blue, green, pink and white.
Firstly, the Chanel 22 Mini Handbag (SGD7430) resurfaces in light blue shiny calfskin that speaks of tranquillity. More than just a number that represents its year of creation, the #CHANEL22 also hints at its contemporary relevance. The design earns its status as one of Chanel’s current bag icons for its relaxed silhouette and easy-to-use drawstring closure.
Next, the Mini Classic Handbag (SGD7230) takes on a fresh, verdant quality in light green lambskin. The soft pastel hue refreshes the instantly recognisable boxy quilted silhouette. Evoking a sense of vitality and renewal, the timeless style gets an injection of optimism and joie de vivre this season.
If you love collecting variants of the Mini Flap Bag (SGD9910), then you will be glad to know of a new blush pink suede calfskin option. The braided calfskin quilting is another lovely touch, giving it a subtle textural interplay against the soft suede body. Its chic, diminutive size encourages a curated approach to daily essentials, perfect for casual days out in Singapore’s tropical climate.
Lastly, Chanel’s Flap Bag With Top Handle (SGD9310) in white lambskin is not to be missed. The shiny finish easily catches the light, contrasting beautifully with the cut-out top handle. Arguably the largest of the four, this versatile design works as a chic clutch (reminiscent of takeaway boxes) or shoulder bag, courtesy of the gold-tone leather-interlaced strap.
