Matthieu Blazy’s first collection for Chanel was one of the most anticipated debuts of the Spring 2026 season, and in true Blazy form, it did not disappoint. There was a collective gasp when the first look hit the runway, and when the show was over, it was ever apparent—Blazy had won Spring 2026 fashion month.
Today, his first collection for Chanel is finally here, and we’ve got a look at some of our favorite bags, fresh from the Spring 2026 lookbook.
Bags focus on reinventing Chanel’s most important House codes, first deconstructing then reconstructing, like the classic 2.55, which is given a lived-in, relaxed feel, showcased in crinkled leather. An iconic House signifier, remade for today’s Chanel girl.
There are new takes on other brand signatures, too, like maxi versions of the Classic Flap. Bicolor leather bags evoke a contemporary-meets-classic feel, and bold colors like teal and burgundy round out the selection.
I’ve defended a lot of nonsense from Karl, Laetitia, and Virginie in the almost 2 decades following CHANEL but I draw the line at these! And at these prices?!!!!!

No can do. Won’t ever regret holding on to the 2010 lambskin maxi in metallic grey that I purchased new for $3000. It still looks brand new.
I paid the same, but for my lambskin Chanel classic. At that time, I had sticker shock since I never spent that much for a bag, and it was my 1st Chanel bag. It is still pristine. I never expected it would almost quadruple in price!!!

Oh, I just bet they gasped; but not in admiration for this lacklustre collection.

I have been a Chanel gal for the past 20 years, lived through some bad bag designs, price increase after price increase and continued to support the brand. Chanel, we are officially parting ways…I am not a fan of this new line.
Nothing inspiring……and stupid price. So unrealistic.

Ugh, I love Chanel! The ruined bag is ridiculous but I think that is the point. I like a couple of the bags above but not enough to purchase. The prices are crazy! I am not saying I will never purchase another Chanel bag but it will have to be something exceptional. I think I will be satisfied with the Chanel bags I already own for a good while.

I swear these morons will buy anything with a cc label slapped on it.

Why is the stitching on the brown/burgundy large flap bag so awful? Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Besides that, the overall collection is dull and uninspired to say the least. This coming from an absolute Chanel girlie for the past twenty years.

Where is this bag on the website?! This is from the same collection.
$14k for a bag that looks like it was run through the dryer.
I’m pretty sure people still gonna buy it and call it FASHYUUN. LOL

Agree 100% with Paula. No more Chanel purchases.
