Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Debut Draws Long Lines in New York as Early Stock Sells Out

Early allocations vanished within hours at the 57th Street flagship.

Overview

  • Chanel’s Spring 2026 collection from Matthieu Blazy officially landed in New York on March 13 after a frenzied Paris launch last week.
  • By early afternoon at the 57th Street boutique, staff told customers most pieces were already gone, with restocks expected in the coming weeks.
  • VICs shopped the morning through private appointments, and a line stretched down the block as shoppers waited in freezing temperatures to see what remained.
  • Shoes led demand with two-tone ballet flats and mint green embossed croc pumps drawing heavy interest, alongside sought-after east–west and maxi flap bags.
  • Boutique staff had steered early visitors to return on March 13, and editors report renewed interest as Blazy refreshes Chanel’s classic codes across bags, shoes, and tweed jackets.
