Chanel | 2002 "31 Rue Cambon" By the Sea Canvas Backpack

Chanel 31 Rue Cambon canvas backpack from the "By The Sea" collection from 2002-2003 designed by Karl Lagerfeld.

The bag is composed of 100% cotton featuring an allover white graphic logo print composed of oversized typography, interlocking "CC" motifs, and references including "CHANEL," "PARIS," "CAMBON," "RUE," "31," and "19" arranged in a bold collage pattern. The bag has a soft structured silhouette with a flat base, a gathered drawstring closure at the top, and a matching adjustable shoulder strap printed with the same graphic motif. The interior is lined with a white polyester blend.

The "31 Rue Cambon" reference on a Chanel bag points to the brand's historic Paris flagship at 31 Rue Cambon, the location where Coco Chanel opened her original boutique. Known as Chanel's iconic "mothership," the boutique is also known for its exclusive white-and-gold packaging, which differs from the brand's signature black packaging.
