A postcard-worthy fashion show at Villa d&#39;Este, between glamour and unbreakable French savoir-faire. The bags? Iconic, playful and irresistibly summery.

A cinematic light enchanted Lake Como , and Chanel was able to capture it all. Yesterday, in the splendid setting of Villa d&#39;Este, the Cruise 2025/2026 show of the historic French fashion house took place, a refined tribute to the holiday, with atmospheres that tell the oft-cited Italian dolce vita in a way never explored before. The mannequins , like modern divas from a Visconti film, crossed the gardens of the historic residence among lightness, impalpable fabrics and above all them: the <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/moda/10-borse-bianche-di-lusso-tendenza-per-la-primavera-estate-2025-quali-comprare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bags</a> . As the true fil rouge of the collection, they literally told a story. The mini bag in black tweed with a jeweled handle — seen in the opening — is the very essence of Chanel elegance: small, precious, unfailingly chic . We find it next to summer versions of the 11.12 and the 2.55, which abandon the quilted leather to dress up in woven raffia, cotton knit, or crochet -effect textures. The couture detail merges with the holiday spirit, as in the yellow quilted bucket bag in suede or in the basket-like model with classic closure and gold logo, perfect for an unashamedly French summer. The playful mood takes shape in the spherical clutch , completely set with pastel-colored stones, for an evening under the stars that smells of Riviera and art deco. Then, as if that were not enough, the much-desired cupcake version with fork. There is no shortage of oversized models: woven totes, designed for a chic escape on a boat or a stroll through the alleys of Bellagio. Pop shades — from coral to lavender — are combined with the brand ’s trademark interwoven gold chain handles, reinterpreting the classic with panache, without ever losing their connection with tradition. Cruise 2025/2026 is all this: a hymn to modern femininity, between nostalgia and the desire for lightness. And if, as Mademoiselle loved to repeat , “fashion passes, style remains” , then these bags — between a dip in the lake and a toast at sunset — will remain well imprinted in our memory.
