Chanel Contemplates the digital Future with Bags You know and love for spring 2017

We can’t think of a better way to kick off the run-up to national handbag Day (October 10!) than with a first look at a brand new Chanel collection. Chanel’s spring 2017 bags debuted yesterday in Paris, inside a Grand Palais that Karl Lagerfeld had turned into the world’s chicest server farm. For those of you who like your bags a lot more wearable than conceptual, though, you don’t have much to worry about from the theme.

Lagerfeld & Co. stuck mostly to the brand’s beloved kid Bags, with a few tech touches here and there like color-shifting hardware and materials that somehow looked like both tweed and microchips. If you were hoping for something a lot more literal, though, look no additionally than Chanel’s seasonal minaudiere: a surprisingly cute robot.
