Chanel Camellia Bags

The graceful and delicate Chanel Camellia bag embodies the essence of an elegant woman.  Gabrielle Chanel herself adored the camellia flower for its purity and simplicity, constantly adorning herself with the blooms in brooches and jewelry. Since then, the flower has become a code of the house and has been the inspiration behind many of the handbags.

From rare vintage treasures to romantic reinterpretations of the Classic Flap bags, bags with this motif remain endlessly collectible. Whether crafted from leather, etched into the hardware, delicately appliquéd by hand, or used as a standout embellishment, the rounded petals always add a romantic touch to the classic silhouettes.

The camellia purse can take many forms, from structured minaudières to textured tweeds and embossed leather vanity cases. Other pieces subtly display the motif through tonal appliqué, while others let the flower bloom in full relief, sculpted in leather or even outlined in sequins. Each rendition maintains the brand's history with the camellia, but it is always reimagined.

Though often associated with softness and romance, the motif also has the ability to be more than that. On a black flap bag or a patent leather clutch, the flower could also become an intriguing, edgy embellishment. When styled with a structured black blazer or an airy silk dress, a Chanel Camellia bag becomes the instant focal point, a soft power move that is unmistakably Chanel.
