Vintage Chanel Handbags

Chanel bags are truly timeless. They have represented luxury and fashion for over 50 years. A 50 year old Chanel bag is more desirable today then it was then. A Chanel bag serves as an antique item…a collectors product, something to hand down to your daughter and granddaughter. Vintage Chanel handbags are some of the most highly demanded products at antique shows and vintage shops. People know that buying a vintage Chanel bag will serve as a highly fashionable product and will be well worth the money. The vintage bags are generally cheaper than brand new ones but are hard to come across.
I came across a few Chanel vintage bags on ebay.com including the bag in the top right that can be purchased for $755.00. I’ve never purchased anything from this seller so I can’t make any guarantees. But the bag looks to be authentic and in good condition.
Clearly, a Chanel bag is a smart investment. You can get 20 years of usage out of it and sell it for almost as much as you paid for it. You can also pass it down to a loved one who would love the bag more than you. Just recently Victoria Beckham was seen shopping at a vintage store in L.A. looking at a vintage Chanel bag…if someone like Victoria—who can have any bag in the world that she wants—is looking at Chanel vintage bags, then you know they are wanted!
So ladies, hold on to your Chanels! Someday you may be able to sell them for a good amount of money or pass them down to your daughters who may covet them more than you.

Love the classic Chanel bags. I have a smaller navy one that I snagged from my mom.

I am starting to get all about the vintage chanel pieces...you can find good prices on ebay, and if you want Chanel can even take the bag and fix it up for you (I haven't done this yet though so I don't know how good they are). I especially like the bag in the original post; the xl jumbo is so big and a great size and not produced anymore, so you have to go find a vintage one if you really want it. I am always on the lookout...

I have a vintage Chanel bag and I just wanted the opinion on my favorite bag. It is from the 60's I think. What do you think it is worth?
