The Most Sought-After Bags From Blazy’s Chanel Métiers d’Art Collection
Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Métiers d’Art 2026 collection arrived like a love letter to New York City, and the bags? They did not disappoint. Between the animal prints, sculptural silhouettes, and Blazy’s signature knack for making the unexpected feel utterly covetable, this lineup has no shortage of statement-makers. But a handful of styles have risen above the rest, dominating wish lists and SA conversations alike.
If you haven’t already started making moves, here are the four bags worth knowing about right now.
Chanel 25 Mini
If one bag was born for the waitlist, it’s the Chanel 25 Mini in cheetah. The silhouette has already cemented itself as a modern house staple, and this season Blazy gave it the big-cat treatment in light beige and black fluffy lambskin. The cheetah-effect finish is tactile and a little wild in the best possible way, while a flash of burgundy lining keeps things polished on the inside. This is probably the most coveted bag in this launch and some are saying this is THE bag of 2026.
Maxi Flap Bag
The Maxi Flap is the collection’s quiet overachiever. At first glance it feels familiar, because it is. Flat quilting, interwoven leather-and-chain straps, and the classic CC turn-lock keep it unmistakably Chanel. But the oversized suede proportions and relaxed construction make it feel like a new chapter entirely. Arriving in Light Beige, Camel, and Dark Brown suede calfskin, this is Blazy’s “cool girl” entry point into the collection. Timeless enough to live in your closet forever, modern enough to feel fresh right now.
Giraffe Mini Flap Bag
This is the bag the internet couldn’t stop talking about. The classic Mini Flap silhouette returns in rich dark burgundy lambskin, but with a twist that is very much not subtle: a sculptural gold-tone metal giraffe head emerges from one end, a tasselled tail swings from the other, and four tiny metal feet anchor the base. Not to mention but the giraffe is wearing tiny little Chanel choker around her neck. It is playful, it is artistic, and it is exactly the kind of wink-and-a-nod whimsy that makes Métiers d’Art collections so special.
Squirrel Mini Flap Bag
Meet the Giraffe’s Central Park companion. The Squirrel Mini Flap follows the same blueprint in black and dark khaki lambskin, with a gold-tone metal squirrel head at one end and a fluffy shearling tail that trails along the chain shoulder strap. It’s smaller than its long-necked sibling, but equally impossible to ignore. Both pieces are a masterclass in what Blazy does so well: grounding the fantastical in impeccable craft until it feels not just wearable, but genuinely irresistible.
From understated suede to bags that have actual legs, this collection truly has a little something for everyone. Which one is making it onto your wish list?
