Vans has been sitting in the lap of luxury lately. From hand-beaded collabs with Mattias Gollin to the wave of Pearlized Pack hype and recent Satoshi collabs, the SoCal skate brand has been opening up its catalog to jewelry and high-end handbags lately. Beyond the pearl-clad pair, Vans OTW has been transforming classic silhouettes into Chanel handbags, including a new Souvenier-style sneaker in off-white Oatmeal.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir Oatmeal is the latest Old Skool pair designed like the iconic Chanel On the Pavements Messenger Bag, with its button accessories, loose string frill, and weathered canvas fabric. On the new pair, Vans trades the OG brownish green canvas for a dirty coat of pre-distressed Oatmeal white.

Following the Chanel OG replica colorway - that Nike also cribbed for a recent Air Force 1 pair - Vans brought back the same design in Burgundy, and added two more Chanel replicas with the Flap Bag’s quilted upper and the La Habana bag’s sequin accessories. As Vans continues to succeed with the luxury concepts, the Souvenier pairs are only adding more fuel to the fire.

The Vans Premium Old Skool 36 Souvenir Oatmeal will be released July 1, 2026, through Vans and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $125. For all the latest Vans news, download the Sole Retriever App.
