Chanel31 Micro Shopping Bag

Q: What makes the Chanel 31 Micro Shopping Bag distinctive?
A: The Chanel 31 line is known for its softly structured, shopping-bag-inspired silhouette and elegant chain carry option. In the micro size, it keeps that recognisable Chanel 31 look in a compact, statement-making format that works especially well for light essentials.

Q: What typically fits inside this micro size?
A: With approximate measurements of 13 × 11 × 4 cm, this bag is best suited to very small essentials such as cards, folded notes, keys, lipstick, and slim earphones. It is not designed for a full-size wallet or bulkier daily items, so we recommend comparing your essentials to the measurements provided on this page.
