Pre-loved Experts Weigh in On Their Top Chanel Bags

Why We Love Vintage Chanel Bags and Why You Should Too | Our Top Editor's Picks
Among fashion houses, Chanel has acquired a name and a space that is inarguably recognizable. Stretching across a journey of nothing but greatness, Chanel has remained a symbol that is ever so relevant and ever so green. From the No. 5 perfume and the Chanel Suit to the very-Coco tweed jacket and the timeless Chanel Flap bags, the French luxury house is not only a revolutionizing icon but also the epitome of unforgettable history and heritage.
At What Goes Around Comes Around, the influx of impressive and must-have Chanel pieces has turned our editors into insatiable collectors. We love meticulously collecting second-to-none rare pieces that extend across generations and we also value sharing the gift of luxury that’s already loved.
Let’s zero in on reasons why Chanel is universally, and especially, loved at WGACA and present you with some of our very own editors’ exquisite vintage Chanel picks.
Chanel is Timeless Luxury
Chanel was able to weave simplicity without compromising on elegance and plenty of personality. To the luxury fashion house founder, the keynote of elegance equated to timelessness, and timelessness equated to something that dares you without being loud. With unwavering craftsmanship, premier materials and signature design aesthetics, Chanel creations surpass trends, age like fine wine, and remain heirloom pieces to be treasured in one’s closet for a lifetime.
Chanel is Fashion Heritage
Wearing Chanel resembles a tribute to the legacy and heritage of the iconic house. The timeless Chanel 2.55 created quite a controversy being the first women’s bag with a shoulder strap, leaving women hands-free, while the Chanel Boy handbag owes its history to Coco’s first love. With all of Chanel’s products seamlessly representing the brand’s identity, Chanel is a universal emblem of revolutionizing fashion history, and a wearer gets to be part of that by owning the label’s creations.
Quintessential Chanel Silhouettes
Chanel is all about architecture that stands the test of time. With a range of silhouettes from supple and soft like the staple Chanel 2.55 bag and the quilted Chanel Gabrielle backpack to boxy and structured like the Chanel vanity case bag and N°5 Perfume Bottle bag, Chanel products are an archive of variety that stay ultimately true to being Chanel.
Chanel is an Investment
Owing to Chanel becoming as desirable and coveted as ever, every year Chanel raises the price of its timeless handbags, making them the perfect luxury investment. From the timeless Classic Flaps to the runway limited edition pieces, the vintage secondary market is thriving and with the value of vintage Chanel upholding, there is no better time to take the plunge and own a piece of that legacy than now.
