I had you at vintage Chanel, didn’t I? While I’m sure the feeling of walking out of a Chanel store with a brand new bag in hand is unlike any other (and one I’ve yet to experience myself!), something about purchasing a vintage Chanel bag has really got my gears going. Depending on the item, purchasing pre-loved can mean saving a bit of money, not to mention I like something about the idea of owning a vintage Chanel piece over a new one. I’m not sure why, as I’m not usually one that looks to purchase a pre-loved item, but in this instance, I’ve been all googly-eyed over the internet’s current offerings. Below, I’ve rounded up 15 of the best vintage Chanel pieces I’ve come across in my current state of obsessive searching and scrolling.

Vintage Chanel Vanity Case
$3,500 via Shopbop
If there’s one vintage item in particular that I’m obsessed with owning it’s a Chanel Vanity Case.

It just seems so glamorous to me, and I picture it being owned by a chic, jet-setting woman.

Vintage Chanel Quilted Flap Bag

Once again, it’s hard to go wrong with a quilted Chanel Flap, and I love that burgundy can act like a neutral without actually being black, white or tan.

A Chanel WOC is iconic in its own right, and I love this embossed version over the classic quilted WOC.
