Thank you Coco

If you invest in one designer handbag, make it a Chanel. A classic piece of fashion that only gets better with age, Chanel is one of the handful of brands that you can rely on retaining it’s value years down the line.

This season Instagram has been obsessing over the Chanel 19 bag and we’ve even included it in our must-have list of 2020 so far, but that doesn’t mean that the previous models are any less desirable. From limited-edition to one-off creations, finding a unique Chanel is now easier than ever thanks to numerous pre-owned sites such as Dubai-based The Luxury Closet and international sites including The Real Real and Vestiaire Collective. E-commerce sites including Farfetch and Shopbop are also cashing in on the lucrative second-hand market and all of them offer a thorough analysis of quality and authenticity.

So what Chanel handbag should you be keeping your eye out for? Here is our ultimate wish list.
