Perforated Grained Calfskin Large Shopping Tote Black

The Chanel Perforated Grained Calfskin Large Shopping Tote in black is a sophisticated, versatile “town-to-travel” bag known for its distinctive textured appearance and airy, modern feel. Primarily released as a seasonal specialty (notably around 2016–2017), this tote is appreciated for being significantly lighter than solid-leather Chanel shopping bags.

Signature Hardware: Adorned with shiny silver-tone metal accents, including a dangling CC charm on the front and leather-interwoven chain handles.
Straps: Equipped with double handles that feature leather shoulder pads for added comfort during extended carry.
Interior: Typically unlined burgundy red leather, providing a striking color contrast and a raw, artisanal aesthetic.
