The infinitesimal Classic Mini Flap Bag charms from the Métiers d’Art collection earlier this year set the stage for an entirely new category of bag charms. For #CHANELCruise, the French fashion house moves past the iconic flap. Instead, Chanel introduces sculptural charms that capture the essence of its most coveted bag silhouettes.

Three standouts take the lead this season, starting with the Mini Bag Charm in light pink shiny lambskin. This direct and delightful take on the top-handle bag opens via a magnetic button. Peek into the minature marvel to find a single compartment for AirPods and other tiny bits and bobs.
Then comes a light beige shiny calfskin star pouch, which Chanel also refers to as a Mini Bag Charm. With a five-pointed form, a star-shaped zipper pull, as well as an oversized CC logo in the middle, it brings an element of fun and whimsy to the line-up.
But it’s the black, structured Classic Mini Bag Charm that may be the most functional of the three. In the shape of a classic vanity case, it even comes with a mirror. Its burgundy-lined interior holds lipsticks and travel-sized beauty must-haves for quick touch-ups on the go.
By offering miniature bag charms in playful novelty shapes, Chanel channels a lighthearted spirit while keeping pace with the bag-on-bag trend. Chic, covetable and irresistibly charming, these accessories are now part of the #CHANELCruise collection, priced between SGD2680 and SGD2990.
