Chanel Métiers d'Art 2026 Squirrel Mini Flap Bag Dark Khaki Lambskin and Shearling Gold Hardware
The bag the fashion press immediately nicknamed the Squirrel Bag: Chanel's Métiers d'art 2026 rework of the 11.12 flap, where the house's most classic silhouette meets a polished metal and shearling squirrel perched on the flap. The Métiers d'art collections exist to showcase Chanel's artisan ateliers, and the figurine work here is the point, sculpted metal fur detailing set against genuine shearling in a piece produced for a single season and never repeated.
Dark khaki lambskin carries the classic diamond quilting while shearling lambskin softens the body, and gold-tone hardware runs through the woven chain strap and CC turn lock. The format is the mini flap, Chanel's most collected size of the modern era. This example is unworn from the collection's boutique release with its complete set.

Collector's Insight: Chanel's figurine and novelty pieces from named collections have become their own collecting category, with single season production and instant recognition driving demand the moment a collection sells through. The Squirrel Bag arrived with a viral moment already attached, which is the pattern that has historically produced the strongest aftermarket for Chanel novelties.
Resale Insight: Métiers d'art novelty minis routinely trade above retail once boutique allocation ends, and unworn examples with full sets command the top of that market. Single season Chanel pieces do not restock, making condition and completeness the entire game.
