CHANEL CALLED, IT'S APERITIVO HOUR
Chanel’s 2025/2026 Cruise Collection was shown on Lake Como, Italy which is without a doubt one of the most romantic and scenic manifestations of the Italian. At the iconic and cinematic Villa d’Este Hotel, models carried beach-ready totes and evening-ready minaudières.
Chanel bag’s always a highlight on the runways. We saw updated versions of the Dua Lipa-approved Chanel 25 in violet and butter yellow, alongside bejewelled minaudières, straw Flap bags, pool tote bags and bag charms galore.
We are, naturally, obsessed. Let’s take a look at the bags presented.
Classic Chanel Flap’s Summer Makeover
Chanel house staple Flap bag has got a summer makeover, which is just asking to be added to your summer packing list. It was presented in an on-trend coral with a tightly woven raffia.

Beach Bags
I don’t know about you, but we don’t want to go to the beach unless we get to carry our beach essentials in a Chanel bag. This tote bag had chain handles.

Vanity Bags
Chanel also gave it’s vanity case a makeover that is picnic-perfect for spring and summer stylings.

Deauville
Is it a girls trip if nobody carries a Deauville? No cruise collection is complete without an appearance from this beloved bag, decorated with a key piece for spring and summer 2025: the bag charm.

Chanel 25
Now Chanel has jumped on the hobo trend, you know it’s here to stay. The celebrity favourite - with fans including Jennie from Blackpink and Dua Lipa - was shown in new, luxurious colours and suede.

Hobo Bags
We told you so! Chanel’s collection of Hobo bags expands with fresh silhouettes that bring a serious dose of slouch.

Minaudières
Minaudières have become a collector's piece, and the new introductions for the cruise collection might just take the cake - excuse our pun. Adorned with sparkling crystals and fastening with the signature CC clasp - we’re obsessed.
