Chanel Fold-Over Shopping Tote Pearl Chain

The Archive 

A modern Chanel Fold-Over Shopping Tote crafted in quilted lambskin leather featuring the house’s iconic diamond quilting and CC turn-lock closure.

This silhouette reflects Chanel’s contemporary interpretation of the classic shopping tote — combining structured elegance with adaptable styling through its convertible fold-over design. When folded, the bag transforms into a shoulder silhouette, while fully extended it functions as a relaxed tote.

What distinguishes this piece is the dual chain detail featuring pearl accents, a signature Chanel embellishment introduced in modern collections as a nod to Gabrielle Chanel’s lifelong affinity for pearls.

The deep burgundy lambskin paired with gold tone hardware offers a refined and understated palette, aligning with Chanel’s seasonal exploration of rich jewel tones.
