As most of you know, I love vintage bags as much as I love new and I get a lot of questions on buying vintage Chanel bags and authenticity. My most recent vintage Chanel bags were purchases from a resale shop in Japan.
It can be hard to find vintage or pre-owned Chanel bags as I find that Designer consignment shops do carry some, but the selection is not great and it always changes so you would need to stop in pretty frequently.
Fashionphile is one of the first online retailers for vintage Chanel bags that I found and I have purchased from them quite a few times. All of my experiences have been great and I feel that they offer very fair prices for their pieces. They give great descriptions of each peices as well as what the condition is so you are well aware of the flaws before buying. Other perks that they have is a 30 day return policy as well sell your bag (or any bag you may have) to them.
Thanks so much for sharing. I have seen fashionphile before but I am going to check out the others ! I desperately want a vintage Chanel but like you said vintage does not mean they are \"cheap\" (not even close! ha) LOVE your bags!!
I've been searching high and low for a vintage chanel piece ( ideally i would like one in an exotic leather but the prices for vintage exotic are still crazy) because I do agree with you as much as I love my new chanel babies the vintage ones def have more character.
Great post Tiffany! And very timely, considering the pending Chanel price increase that will send many ladies hunting for better priced vintage handbags. TPF is the best resource for any and all used handbag options, not to mention full of drool worthy reveal photos!

Given the most sought after vintage Chanel bags are 20+ years old there are a few things to consider when buying a vintage Chanel bag or accessory. The most important thing to keep in mind is that vintage Chanel bags aren't new so there should be some expectation of age and patina depending on the condition. Vintage Chanel bags will generally show the most wear on the bottom corners of the bag. Additionally it's important to inspect hardware for scratches and marks. Other things to inspect is the stitching for loose threads and leather for scratching. The good news is you can find excellent vintage Chanel bags on secondary markets and at auction. Sotheby's handbag specialists are always seeking out the best vintage Chanel bags and accessories. Given the high demand for vintage Chanel bags, the availability of high quality counterfeit bags has also grown. Only buy from established resellers and auction houses that have experience authenticating vintage Chanel bags. Prices for Vintage Chanel bags are generally lower than new Chanel bags but there are some rare limited edition styles that are significantly more. A Chanel vintage classic flap bag is around $6,000-7,000 if it's in excellent condition. A vintage Chanel Full Flap and Chanel Diana Flap are closer to $4,000-$5,000.
Have you ever considered buying a vintage Chanel bag Well, it has not been high on the list of my shopping priorities as I always preferred fresh-out-of-the-box items. However, a few years ago I was desperately looking for a small Chanel flap bag in navy blue with a golden chain and at the time the colour was unavailable in boutiques. As my mind was firmly set on the navy classic and no alternative would do, I decided to explore other options and, somewhat reluctantly, directed my search at the online second-hand luxury market in hope of finding the coveted bag.
While the buying of a vintage Chanel bag seemed like a great idea at first, I soon realised that there were a lot of traps along the way which made the process not as straightforward as I originally anticipated. Eventually, I ended up with the bag of my dreams but the journey was, by no means, plain sailing. On the flip side, the first encounter with the pre-loved designer goods market has taught me a few valuable lessons about buying vintage online and this is exactly what I would like to share in this post.
While some may be enchanted by the fact that a Chanel vintage bag has its history, the truth is that the older the bag the heavier the signs of usage. This is not to say that every vintage bag will always be heavily weathered. However, a classic vintage Chanel bag from the 90s in a good condition will never have the same look and feel as,for instance, a 10 years old bag. It may sound obvious but when buying vintage online one should manage expectations and be prepared to receive a well-used item even though it may be a used item in an overall good condition.
So for anyone who, like me, prefers new bags but for one reason or another ended up buying vintage Chanel, my advice is to consider a handbag restoration service which can give a new lease of life to a second hand piece and allow it to shine again.

Realistically, many vintage items offered on the secondary market have already undergone some degree of restoration to command higher asking prices. Also, people often buy vintage bags with a view to having them reconditioned. On that basis, I do not think many buyers nowadays would be particularly alarmed about the new lock, as long as you can prove the substitute is authentic and replaced by Chanel. Especially, if the bag is from the 80s!!
The RealReal is a true online consignment shop. Sellers can send in multiple items at a time from their closets to be approved for sale. Once approved, and authenticated the items are priced, photographed and listed for sale, making the process relatively seamless for sellers. Similar to eBay, buyers can sift through a multitude of bags, though the items are not bought through a seller directly. Because TRR has control over pricing items and not the seller, you can find some relatively good deals. The site also offers a financing option through affirm, so if monthly payments are essential to your pre-loved purchase, this is a way to go.
Not to worry, though. We have compiled this list of the best sites to buy Chanel vintage bags online. Many of these sites sell other designer accessories, shoes, etc., but since we are chatting about Chanel purses, here are our top favs.
Among the different resellers we will mention in this guide, Rebag is more affordable. They have an excellent collection of Chanel vintage bags, including the coveted XL hardware flap bag. They also have a good variety of seasonal designs if you want something different.
The best part Chanel handbags sold on eBay are eligible for an authenticity guarantee. Hence, as you shop online on eBay, ensure you conduct due diligence and look for the authenticated bags. IF you purchase a bag, receive it, and find it is fake- eBay will accept the return.
All vintage Chanel bags should have an authenticity card, a holographic sticker, and matching serial numbers. Note that bags manufactured before the 1980s do not have hologram stickers, but everything manufactured after the mid-1980s should have both a holographic sticker and an authenticity card. Chanel only removed the use of authenticity cards in April of 2021 and introduced microchips that digitally embed the authenticity details.

Well, first, I determined my budget limit and what style of the purse I wanted. Deep down, I knew I wanted a classic flap, or something as close to that as possible. After doing research on the models out there, new and vintage. I narrowed it down to the classic flap or the Diana bag, in small or one of the medium sizes, and in Black. There were some camera bags, boy bags, and other variations, but ultimately, I knew I wanted something unmistakably Chanel. I was flexible on the colour of the hardware, gold or silver. As well as whether it was caviar leather or lambskin, I was open to both.
Because of my budget, I knew I was going to buy pre-loved and I also just liked the idea of buying vintage. I read that the hardware on older bags was higher quality since they are gold-plated instead of just gold-toned. I also personally, like the more deflated quilted look. If you notice, new Chanel bags have quite a puffy diamond pattern, but older ones have lost that air and are flatter.
