Sometime ago, Chanel has discontinued the majority of their classic shopping bags. And up until today, we still cannot forget about the Grand Shopping Tote (GST) and the Petite Shopping Tote (PST). The good news is that Chanel keep inventing new gorgeous tote bags like this new shopping bag from the Pre-Fall 2017 Collection. Let’s talk about that, shall we?

The Chanel Large Shopping Bag is designed with all the iconic components and it could be the next classic that will be available throughout the year. Looking at the pictures, this bag feels really soft, just like lambskin. However, it’s really made with calfskin, which is smooth but durable leather.

The diamond quilting has been embellished throughout the body, creating a chic appearance. And while the top comes with two leather handles, there is also a chain option. The woven chain strap can be used to carry the bag on your shoulder and it runs beautifully through the eyelets. The uniqueness about this new design is the smooth leather detailing that’s been showcased on the top. It fits perfectly to the concept of part leather and part quilting, which is increasingly popular these days. As a final touch, the interlocking CC logo charm has been included and it hangs on the Chanel eyelet.

Because this is a tote bag and will be dropped on the floor occasionally, it also features bottom studs that serve as protection. Style code: A98683, measuring 23 x 34 x 14 cm, priced at $3300 USD, €3100 euro, £2760 GBP, $24400 HKD, ¥393120 JPY, ¥24000 CNY, $4100 CAD via Chanel boutiques.

Now do you think this bag can compete against the GST and PST if they weren’t discontinued?
