The black quilted leather Chanel Bag is having a moment of epic proportions. It is the quintessential lady like bag and even vintage versions go for big dollars.
And while an investment in a Chanel bag would never go wrong as the style is eternal even if it is no longer trendy, many of us don’t have a few thousand dollars to spend on a purse.
The great thing is right now there are so many great look a like Chanel bags out there right now that you can get the look without the price tag.
In fact many of these bags are big designer names in their own right. They are still quilted leather, but they retail for the most part at under $300 versus a few thousand for the Chanel options.
Shop the look a like Chanel bags from left to right starting at the top:
1. CHANEL Quilted Black Lambskin Classic Medium Coco Flap Bag Purse
3. MICHAEL Michael Kors Small Sloan Quilted Shoulder Bag
4. Coach LEGACY PENNY SHOULDER PURSE IN EMBOSSED QUILTED LEATHER
5. Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Mini Affair Bag
6. chicnova Black Quilted Shoulder Bag with Tassel Embellishment
8. Marc Jacobs Montauk quilted leather shoulder bag
9. Chanel Black Quilted Lambskin Classic Double Flap Bag Purse (23 cm)
Not that I would EVER turn down a Chanel bag but I think my favourite above is actually the Rebecca Minkoff (followed closely by the chicnova and Marc Jacobs). I just love that it is really clean and simple. The only thing you really notice is the quilting.
These purses have the versatility that makes them great for a formal look or a fun choice to pair with jeans.

What do you think? Are you lusting after the real thing or would you go for one of the replica Chanel bags?

I would love to find a vintage quilted Chanel, but they are hard to find. I am also a big fan of the Minkoff. Might have to send this post to the husband as a Christmas hint! xo Emma http://strollingthecityinheels.com

There are a bunch of resale boutiques in the city that if you tell them what you are looking for they will tell you when one is in, but they are still very expensive.
