Chanel 22
By Arielle · Catalogued July 2026
The Chanel 22 is a slouchy, oversized shopping-tote-style bag introduced in 2022 under Virginie Viard and named for its release year. It has a soft, puffed body in quilted calfskin, grommeted top edges threaded with a chain-and-leather strap, and a hanging CC medallion charm. Offered in small through large, it reads as a relaxed, modern hobo counterpoint to the structured Classic Flap.
