Are shimmering bags the new timeless trend?
As a long-time admirer of designer handbags, Chanel has always topped my wishlist. But despite years of adoration, I’ve yet to check it off. Every time I think it’s finally the moment, a more practical or attainable bag comes along, and my Chanel dream slips further down the list.
That said, I’ve evolved past the idea that my perfect Chanel bag must be the classic Black Caviar Flap. If I’m investing in something iconic, it better dazzle—think unique colors, rare finishes, or unusual silhouettes that make a bold impression.
So when I stumbled upon the stunning sequin piece from Chanel’s Cruise 2024 collection, it completely reshaped my dream bag goals. The glimmer, the gradient—it’s everything.
Soon after, Megs spotlighted some incredible community finds from the PurseForum, and wouldn’t you know it, a sequin flap was among the standouts.

Unlike Chanel’s recurring neutrals and classic styles, seasonal releases bring new textures, palettes, and playful updates. From glittery logo bags to star-adorned mini silhouettes, Chanel's Cruise lines often explore more adventurous territory.
The standout for me this season? A dazzling flap bag entirely covered in rainbow gradient sequins. It’s vibrant, daring, and impossible to ignore. With its multicolored tones, it pairs effortlessly with both bold outfits and neutral tones—making it surprisingly versatile.
And while Chanel’s price tags continue to climb, there’s a case to be made for sequin pieces. Sure, they’re not leather, but they’re whimsical, festive, and just a tad more affordable—an added bonus for those chasing charm without compromising style.
