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.

I would rather own a vintage than a brand new bag! haha, but that’s because the huge price difference. I would rather buy 2 vintage bags than 1 new bag.
I am hanging on to all the Chanel bags I have collected except for a rubber Chanel bag from few years ago. I am thinking of giving to my 6 year old niece as a lark. I totally regretted not buying the Jumbo Classic when the price was $1650, remember back in the days! : )
I love Victoria’s style. She looks so fabulous with this bag.
(sigh) I wish I could afford a chanel. Anyone know of any good authorized resellers on ebay?
I have many vintage chanel purses that I’ve collected over the years. They really do last a lifetime.
if i can ask a question of the writer, does this mean that
the bag that V Beckham is captioned with is indeed a vintage
Chanel bag or is this a ‘new to be made to look old’ bag? i am
interested in establishing a market in vintage bags in preparation
for launching a very limited (1001 of any model year on each
Continent), absolute high- end range of classic designs, the
absolute ‘non plus ultra’ in quality. i have the backing to carry
an appropriate inventory of vintage handbags, business bags and
luggage. if the writer has any feedback on this or anyone else has input
, can offer pre-owned bags for sale or is interested in purchase,
please respond. my goal is a personal network of clients of the
highest order; the opposite of internet dealing, with individual
consultations, events and the best personal service.
