One of the defining elements of Chanel is tweed, which dates back to the 1920s when Chanel began utilizing the material to create its famed two-piece suits for women inspired by sportswear. Though first not considered a luxury fabric, tweed quickly became synonymous with the brand. The unexpected luxury and diversity of the fabric became evident, and over the years, plenty of bags were given the tweed treatment. This season Chanel introduced a selection of pink tweed finishes on already coveted bags, including the Timeless Flap as well as the Chanel 19.
A Modern Classic
A twist on the staple, this rendition of the Chanel Classic Flap features soft, luxe fuchsia cashmere tweed with gold metal hardware. Aside from this, the bag is precisely what you know the Timeless Flap to be. You’ll find a flap closure that opens with the CC turnlock, interior pockets, and an exterior open pocket. If you already own a leather version of this bag, which many of us do, opting for something far more trendy while remaining timeless is the way to go. The leather and chain strap finish off the design.
The 19, Updated
When the 19 was released, I was on the fence. But like many of you, I take a bit of time adjusting to new things, including bags. Though some versions of the 19 look a bit too casual for my liking as they are worn in, I find this tweed version delightful. There is a plaid pattern featuring pink, ecru, and tan, along with a combination of hardware colors. I know tweed may not be the most practical material when it comes to your bags, but what can I say? I like what I like.
And this tiny little bag? It’s not one of the main Chanel designs, but it is a cute option that includes House design elements, including a really sleek integration of the CC logo on the shoulder strap.

I need a tweed bag but i cant justify the price of over $4000.
I am sure you can find a nice tweed bag that is not Chanel for a lot less money. I mean, luxury prices don’t fit everyone’s budget and that’s okay.
I just picked up a black and white tweed 19 bag. Was the price outragious…? Of course it was, but I have been wanted a black and white tweed chanel bag forever! I love it and plan to keep it forever! For me, I feel it was worth the price and now feel my Chanel collection is complete.
How fun! I LOVE that black and white tweed!
So beautiful! I love them all.
They are ok. I’m not a big fan of tweed and the price make this an unjustifiable purchase. On the plus side there is no scratching of leather as I have experienced with my metallic bag. On the downside, I’m sure the after market RV will be very low.
I believe the pink and gold tweed flap is actually called a “small flap” . I know it looks like the 19 bag, but on Chanel’s website, that’s what they’re calling it . I’m in love with it, and can’t wait to receive mine when one comes in 💗
I hope that’s okay to post . I haven’t been on PF for a while
So pretty but if I’m laying out big money for another Chanel, I want one that can be used year-round and not just seasonally – something about tweed just makes me think colder months.
I have a tweed WOC and it’s truly one of the most functional year – round bags in my wardrobe. In the summer I wear it with silk dresses, light wool shorts, and everything in between. In the winter it goes well with my Chanel tweed skirt I bought to offset the colors of the bag and a white cashmere coat. Truly a versatile piece. I want another one in red tweed now.
Love all of these!
