Camera Bag

Name: Chanel Camera Bag Small
Brand: Chanel

Catalogued July 2026

Camera Bag is a silhouette rather than a single Chanel model. It refers to Chanel's boxy, zip-top quilted crossbody bags, usually with a front flap pocket, CC or turn-lock detail, and often a leather zipper tassel, a shape most associated with the house's vintage lambskin and caviar pieces. Because Chanel has used this shape across many seasons without a single official model name or debut, we treat it as a category and hold the introduction year unset.
