Winter... last season, yes! Our eyes are on spring, or more specifically, on the Spring/Summer 2023 pre-collection for Chanel, which launched on January 24th in boutiques and online. If we had to pick a theme, it would be pink, pink, and more of pink in almost every style.  Options include bright colors like green and red, and classic neutrals like black, white, and metallic. Plus, nearly all of your favorite styles are here, including classic and non-classic flaps, mini top handle flaps, Chanel 19, Chanel 22, crescent hobos, totes, backpacks, vanity cases and more.

The quintessential Chanel…probably there’s something for everyone! Especially if you love pink.

Did you say pink?

Truly, this collection is a dream of every pink lover. The mini flap with pink handle and the pink backpack both are made of leather. A dark pink hobo, a tweed mini flap, and even Chanel 22 in a cute pink version.

If pure pink isn't your thing, Chanel mixes colors, pairing greens, blacks, and/or beiges with rosy shades.

The cloth tote bag also has a blue pinstripe, but pink gives off a strong presence. It's also black with white stripes, probably a nod to baseball team uniforms.

Chanel 22 heading into 2023

According to metropolitan Chanel, last year's Chanel 22 hobo style is casual and updated in denim, silver, gold, green and pink leather. Also available in pink and silver backpack versions. No matter which road you take, you'll never run out of essentials.

Camera bag

Unlikely to carry around a camera other than the cell phone, Chanel has two versions of camera bag on display. One in black with multiple pockets and a leather strap, the other in a mini size in multiple colors with enamel Chanel. Either way, you are ready in no time.

Bucket Bag and Hobo

And now, at least something different that isn't classic Chanel... there's the bucket bag and the hobo. Without a doubt, these styles incorporate Coco's classic codes: leather lace chains, quilted leather, and double CC logos are included.

What is missing?

Finally, let's mention what's missing. This collection does not seem to have an evening bag. For those interested, there's a reason we don't put a price on these bags. Virtually overnight...the numbers disappeared from Chanel's website, which means prices are rising.A community member said that some seasonal bags saw him increase by 5-8%. Stay tuned.

Are these the colors you were hoping to find at Chanel? On the other hand, you might prefer to stick with the proven Chanel black.
