CHANEL MAXI FLAP 38: Modern Luxury, Reimagined
IDSC MAGAZINE · FALL 2026

THE NEW
CHANEL
MAXI FLAP

A softer silhouette. A bigger attitude.
The new face of Chanel.

01

Some bags become classics.
Others become obsessions.

CHANEL Maxi Flap 38 is already proving to be one of them. Introduced for Spring/Summer 2026 in Matthieu Blazy’s debut collection for the house, the new silhouette takes the iconic Chanel Flap into a softer, more relaxed and distinctly modern direction.

THE NEW
CHANEL ATTITUDE


THE SILHOUETTE

38 centimetres
of effortless luxury.

Measuring approximately 26 × 38.5 × 11 cm, the Maxi Flap 38 is the largest version of the new silhouette.

It is generous enough for everyday life, work and travel, while retaining the unmistakable character of a Chanel bag.

What makes it different is the way it moves.

Unlike the rigid architecture of traditional Flap bags, the Maxi Flap is deliberately soft. The grained calfskin falls naturally against the body, creating the relaxed, slouchy shape that has quickly become its signature.

Within the Chanel community, the model is often referred to as “Souplissimo” — a nickname inspired by its supple construction.


“A familiar Chanel language,
spoken with a new accent.”
