Chanel Haute Couture FW26 Bags

Chanel FW26 Bags Report

Chanel FW26 strips the bag down to its most essential elements, presenting a single minaudière carved entirely from raw, unfinished wood. For buyers and product managers tracking the luxury novelty category, this represents a significant shift toward artisanal object-making and away from conventional leather goods construction.

Silhouettes and Shapes

Bag 1 sits firmly in the micro-minaudière space, sized to accommodate little more than a card and a phone. Rectangular and solid, the silhouette shows visible layered wood grain suggesting a book-like construction or stacked panel build. No strap. No chain. No shoulder attachment whatsoever. What you're looking at is a pure hand-carry object, held at the palm.
