Fashion people are hard to shop for, and vintage lovers especially so. Walking into a consignment shop or secondhand store and knowing what’s real and what’s fake, let alone what is cool and what’s not, can be an insanely difficult task for anyone but the most seasoned of vintage shoppers, and if you’re trying to find one a nice Christmas present, well, godspeed.

If your budget is extravagant, though, the vintage gods of What Goes Around Comes Around may be able to help with their selection of new-to-you Chanel handbags. ShopBop has been carrying the company’s Chanel finds for quite some time now, and some new pieces have come in just in time for the holidays. If you have a keen eye, you can probably find vintage Chanel for less, but with these pieces the authenticity is guaranteed. If your budget is a bit smaller (but still quite large), ShopBop also has a metric ton of Chanel costume jewelry available. The above bags are priced at $2995 and $2860, respectively.

WGACA Vintage Vintage Chanel Black CC Medallion Bag

Most of us know that almost everything we buy is made in factories, not by a talented artisan that cares about his work, and that makes luxury goods a bit less fun. With vintage, at least we can pretend that it was made by a guy named Francois in a picturesque workshop, diligently sewing bags while wearing a beret and smoking a hand-rolled cigarette. Or at least that’s what happens in my head. Perhaps Francois had a hand in the lovely Chanel Vintage Speedy Bag? I bet no one can prove to me that he didn’t – it’s vintage, after all.

This is not your average vintage Chanel bag – classic flaps are fairly easy to find at high-end vintage shops and, if you have nerves of steel, on eBay, but styles that were only made for a short period of time and don’t have the “iconic” status of a flap bag are what really intrigue me. I particularly like the large metal pieces on the ends and that this bag uses a specially woven leather to mimic the brand’s trademark quilts – the details go a long way in a vintage piece. I don’t know if I’d pay the premium for it, but if you want a Chanel bag that you’ll probably never see on anyone else, something like this is right up your alley. Buy through ShopBop for $4180.

WGACA Vintage Vintage Chanel Le Train Bag

   

Well ladies and gents, this is certainly a bit of a surprise. Just a few moments ago I pulled up Shopbop and I could barely believe what I was seeing – vintage Chanel bags for sale. If you are anything like me you probably are saying to yourself, “no friggin way”, because believe you me, that is exactly what I am still saying!

After a little more looking around I came to the conclusion that these bags are in fact genuine and without a doubt gorgeous. While we usually try and break posts down one bag at a time, I can’t help myself, I need to share all three bags with you. The three beauties that are available are: Vintage Chanel Caviar Jumbo CC Lock Bag for $3960, Vintage Chanel Single Chain Bag for $3190 and the Vintage Chanel Double Chain Tube Bag for $2750.

These bags come from vintage distributor What Goes Around Comes Around (WGACA). While the first two bags I’ve mentioned are already sold out, the Double Chain Tube Bag is still available. I am hoping that although these bags are almost all sold out if Shopbop will replenish. I certainly hope so!

Are you still in disbelief? I certainly am!
