This season, Chanel is leaning confidently into maximalist practicality. Bigger really is better, especially for those who carry everything but the kitchen sink. This trio from #CHANELFallWinter trades traditional leather for washed denim and wool, while still wrapped in indelible Chanel house codes. Think diamond quilting, CC gold-tone hardware and the signature leather-interlaced chain.

The first two styles bring instant youthful attitude in washed denim. The Maxi Flapbag, at 45 cm by 27 cm, opens via a twist-lock closure into a roomy interior for daily essentials. Rather reminiscent of a Chanel jacket, it features two front pockets. An extra slip compartment at the back is ideal for items you need within quick reach.

Then comes the cheeky Maxi Bow Bag that measures 51 cm by 42 cm. Slightly broader and taller, its enormous bow shape delivers playful drama. Dual handles let you either carry it as a tote or sling it over your shoulder. It’s casual-cool without trying, with oversized proportions perfect for off-duty days.
Finally, the Maxi Shopping Bag (top image) is the largest of the trio, spanning 60 cm wide by 32 cm high. Dark grey wool takes the utilitarian carryall to winter statement heights, while red accents on the leather-interlaced strap add contrast. Gold-tone metal completes the look, making it unmistakably Chanel even from across the room.
The epitome of practical grandeur, all three styles land in the fall-winter 2025 collection. Prices begin at SGD9140 for the Maxi Bow Bag, SGD9290 for the Maxi Shopping Bag and SGD10,550 for the Maxi Flapbag. Bigger bags, bigger attitude, entirely Chanel.
