Chanel makes a bag for every occasion and every stage of fame: dinner at Delilah, movie premieres, whisking through LAX when you’re a major recording artist, etc. It’s never surprising when celebs opt for the instant clout conveyed by a good Chanel bag, and this week they’ve done it in droves. But there are two things conspicuously missing here: the Chanel Flap and the Chanel Boy Bag. I’ve noticed a lot fewer of these classic bags in celeb bag rotations this year. They’re certainly not missing from Chanel’s new ad campaign with Kaia Gerber, however, nor Chanel’s Fall 2018 runway collection. But I still feel that tastes may be pivoting away ever so slightly from both of these styles.
