There’s a reason why millions of bag addicts consider Chanel an investment. You can have one for years without worry of it going out of style. It’s also a plus that if you ever get bored with it, you can easily resell on eBay, and most likely get in the neighborhood of what you originally paid.
One of my current favorites for sale by vintage resellers WGACA (What Goes Around Comes Around) is this Vintage Chanel edition dressed in a silk quilting exterior and jewelry shoulder strap. It’s different than all the other classic quilted Chanel’s out there and for that reason I love it even more!

Obsessed: Vintage Chanel Mini Quilted Bag
I started this bag blog years ago (a little over 8) and I have been saying since day one that Chanel handbags are investment pieces. The designs are classic and go with everything. If you have a Chanel bag in your closet and you take good care of it over the years, it will last. Plus if you ever get sick of it and want to trade it in for a newer model, then you’ll easily be able to get what you paid for it, or more depending on the style. I’m not the first and I definitely wont be the last to say that Chanel handbags are a classic.
Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you have to settle for a boring ol’ monochrome bag. Don’t get me wrong, I love my shades of grey and black, but every now and then I feel like my outfit needs a burst of color. I live in Seattle and everyone wears black, grey and brown during this time of the season, and what better accessory than a color popping handbag.
Here are my picks this week:
WGACA Vintage Chanel Bag. $2700
A vintage Chanel is just as fabulous as a bag fresh outta the boutique. Sometimes I prefer it when it’s a unique style that not many people own. This bag is a rarity – only 1 available!
What is it about the crossbody style that I love so much? I’m a huge fan of hands free. Whether I’m going to a concert or on a shopping binge, it’s a weekend favorite of mine.
Wondering what to look for? Bags that are crossbody should have an ideal length of 20″ + which all of these bags do.
1. Marc Jacobs Quilted Little Stam. $995
MJ Stam’s lil sister, the petite version is one of my favorite crossbody bags. It’s a popular style so it’s available in so many different colors. This bag has also been around for some time, so if you’re looking for a deal you can find the previous season for a great deal on eBay {Stams Page on eBay}.
2. WGACA Vintage Chanel Mini Bag. $2,730
Go vintage! I don’t have to tell you this, but Chanel is one of those labels that has looked amazing since the beginning. It’s passed the test of time. It’s a classic by every fashionista’s standards.
Crazy news you guys and I’m sorry for bringing this so late to your attention! At this very moment there’s a vintage Chanel handbag and jewelry sale over at online sample sale boutique IDEELI! I personally think that every girl out there should have at least one Chanel bag in their closet. It’s classic and already proved itself to standing the test of time. I mean really, you’re crazy if you don’t love that classic quilting.
Would you wear a designer backpack? My personal input towards back wear is neutral, reasons being that I have yet to spot something worthy of adding to my ever-changing wish list. Whoever initiated the backpack into a fashion accessory had a great concept, but fell short in making it practical. Most of the luxury designer selections out there arrive in petite form, incapable of holding much, and with excessive exterior pockets that appoint more of a décor role. Perhaps you won’t be able to fit most of your daily essentials in it, but at least you can carry certain items with this unique form of a fashion statement.
Vintage Chanel! Now there’s a statement that intrigues any bagista. Lately I’ve been very attracted to the spring shades of vibrant violets that many designers have been stirring up recently. One of our own tBFer’s recently landed a 2012 Dark Violet Town (Balenciaga Dark Violet Purple) and it brought back verification of how lovely and versatile a purple-hued handbag truly is to any wardrobe.
What Goes Around Comes Around Vintage present unique finds that in order to obtain, you must give into a hefty price tag first. But a price tag on an exclusive Chanel may be overseen if it’s truly limited, so just how much would you pay for this pretty? Attractive purple suede makes up this quilted Classic edition that reveals a sophisticated and chic style. The touch of gold toned hardware found on the traditional Chanel chains adds more vintage emphasis to this authentic lambskin piece. Discreet double-C’s are embroidered at the center of the flap and serves as a Chanel stamp of approval.
