There’s no denying the timeless elegance and sophistication of a Chanel bag. Since Coco Chanel’s original handbag - the Chanel 2.55 - was introduced in 1955, the French label has become synonymous with luxury bags.
The combination of practicality and style, along with Coco’s commitment to quality, set the foundation for the enduring appeal of Chanel bags today. Each one is beautiful, meticulously crafted, and designed to last.
What’s more, with a Chanel handbag, you can easily transition any outfit from day to night.
Over the decades, Chanel has elevated the possibilities of practical but beautiful fashion handbags for women through the creation of iconic designs that have stood the test of time. Each one has a story to tell, and it’s unsurprising that the following styles are still incredibly popular:
The Chanel 2.55 was created in 1955 by Coco herself, who was tired of carrying her handbag in her arms. While it might be the very first handbag in the Chanel collection, its iconic quilted surface and chained handle revolutionised how bags were designed and it remains ever-popular.
Paying homage to the 2.55, the Chanel Classic Flap Bag was actually designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983, rather than Coco Chanel. Chanel Classic handbags feature an interwoven chain strap, bringing an extra touch of intricacy. While these bags showcase the beautiful quilted surface, just like the 2.55, they also include Chanel’s signature interlocking C logo — an icon in its own right.
Petite yet perfectly formed, the Chanel Wallet on Chain (WOC) Bag first launched in 1997 and soon became one of the most popular designer accessories. While similar in design to Chanel Classic handbags, WOCs are available in a variety of colours and textures, from quilted and patent to caviar leather.
A 2011 design by Karl Lagerfeld, the Chanel Boy Bag was inspired by a bag Coco wore and named after her first love — Arthur Edward ‘Boy’ Capel. Retaining the label’s sleek and refined aesthetic, Chanel Boy Bags also bring a modern edge to the style.
Available in a range of sizes, the Chanel Gabrielle Bag features the label’s renowned diamond quilting and contrasting hardware. A modern classic named after Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel herself, this bag has a structured yet soft design. It’s one of the most popular Chanel shoulder handbags.
Another standout design is the Chanel Shopping Tote, often referred to as the GST (Grand Shopping Tote). Known for its spacious interior and classic structure, the GST is a favourite for those seeking both practicality and sophistication. Available in several sizes — including the more compact Petite Shopping Tote — this style is perfect for day-to-day use while maintaining the iconic Chanel elegance.
You may have heard that there’s a limit on how many Chanel bags you can buy each year. This is true for brand-new bags, helping the French label maintain its exclusive reputation. However, this isn’t the case for second-hand bags — all the more reason to buy pre-loved Chanel handbags!
When searching for a vintage or second-hand Chanel handbag, you want to feel sure that you’re investing in a genuine piece of luxury, not a convincing counterfeit.
To do this, you want to look at:
- The authenticity serial number
- The authenticity card
- The quality of the leather, quilting, and stitching
- The interior lining
- The hardware, including the design of the logo, turnstile lock, and zips
Our guide to spotting a fake Chanel bag goes through all of these points in detail so you can feel confident in your purchase. Find out more about our authentication evaluation service.
