Aptly called the Chanel 25, it features quilted leather, a braided chain, and plenty of pockets. Whether it’s a slot for your credit cards or smartphone that you need, gone are the days of having to rummage around for necessities. Also, note that a gusset at the base helps expand it should you need more room, while a shoulder strap makes it comfortable to carry.
