If you read my regular bi-weekly celeb handbag round-ups, you know I have been (gently) ribbing Kim Zolciak for her excessive Chanel game for some time. Real Housewives in general are not especially subtle with their designer bag choices, but Kim really ups the ante with her regular Chanel luggage parades through LAX. In our research, we found that Kim hasn’t always been this committed of a Chanel fanatic, even though she has long had a Yorkie named after the brand. Her dedication to carrying Chanel (and lately, only Chanel) bags is recent, but she’s making up for lost time with impressive volume and range.
Let’s review, shall we? If you want to follow in Kim’s footsteps, you can shop a wide variety of authentic, pre-owned Chanel bags via Vestiaire Collective.
Chanel Minaudiere
We’ll start with the more minimal entries in Kim’s exorbitant Chanel collection. She’s especially fond of Chanel’s latest batch of perspex clutches.
Chanel Box Minaudiere
Bags like the Chanel Box Miniaudiere may be wee, but the price points for these little collector’s items start at around $10K and only go up.
Chanel Camera Minaudiere
This Chanel Camera Miniaudiere, for example, will set you back around $13,000. I imagine that tidy sum would buy a fair amount of actual film equipment.

Kim is so rarely camera shy, but this is still a great shot of her hot pink Chanel Miniaudiere. This style is one of Karl Lagerfeld’s real thinkers.
Chanel Travel Bag and Trolley Set
Now we’re getting deep into Kim’s Chanel luggage collection. Here she is with a Chanel Bag and Trolley Set. You will frequently see Kim’s husband Kroy Biermann in the background.

Here’s a better close-up of Kim’s Chanel luggage game. Note that Kroy has turned to Louis Vuitton for his own travel needs.

Here’s another angle. Kim travels A LOT, and it seems like she is photo-ready with Chanel bags in LAX at least twice weekly.
Chanel Boy Bag
Finally, here’s one of Kim’s daughter’s travel set-up. Like mother, like daughter. You’ll notice Brielle is carrying her own multicolored Chanel Boy Bag, a bright pink MCM Backpack, and an oversized Louis Vuitton bag to boot. So much for Samsonite!
