CHANEL · Sequined La Habana Backpack Paris–Cuba 2017 Cruise Collection, Karl Lagerfeld Status: rare collector’s masterpiece · iconic runway handbag A Chanel backpack that feels like Havana translated into sequins — sun, rhythm, palms, graffiti, and House codes fused into one irreverent object. Paris–Cuba was Lagerfeld’s fantasy of movement and heat, and this bag is one of the collection’s most unforgettable accessories: playful, graphic, impossible to replace — Material · Surface · Craft — • Khaki cotton body with a relaxed, utilitarian silhouette • Hand-embellished with tiny shimmering sequins in blue, white, red and black • The surface reads like a postcard, a mural, and a collector’s object at once. — La Habana · Symbols · House Wit — • Bold LA HABANA lettering across the front — the collection’s destination turned into a statement • Palm motifs and striped sequin graphics evoke Cuba’s tropical rhythm. Chanel lettering and CC accents make the piece unmistakably House-coded, not merely decorative — Hardware · Strap · Closure — • Leather top handle and leather backpack straps • Chain drawstring closure with CC logo charm — a signature Chanel gesture placed inside a relaxed travel form • The chain detail gives the soft backpack silhouette a precise, jewellery-like finish. Why this piece matters? This is one of the great novelty bags of the Paris–Cuba chapter: collectible because it captures the entire collection in one object — khaki utility, sequin spectacle, Havana codes, and Lagerfeld’s exact sense of irony. Not simply a backpack.
