Chanel Inspired Bags
There is something so iconic about those interlocking C’s… they are a signal of high end, luxury fashion. Owning a Coco Chanel bag is a goal held by many women. However, for most of us, this is an unrealistic goal because the price tag for an average size bag STARTS at about $5,000! For me, I’d rather save that cash and take my family on an awesome vacation.. or two! But don’t fret, because the bags I am sharing in this post and much more attainable in terms of price. You may have to do a double take on these Chanel inspired bags because the style is so similar to the authentic bags.

These Chanel inspired handbags are as close to the real thing you will get legally. You won’t be disappointed! If you are looking for branded alternatives (that are technically illegal), you will have better luck finding those elsewhere on the web.
Inspired Flap Handbag
First on this list is the ultra-symbolic Chanel inspired flap bag! If you follow any well-known celebrity or high-end fashion influencer, you have probably seen this bag! If you want a Chanel bag alternative, it is likely this style you’re looking to buy.
There are particular things present in this $24 flap bag that you will find in the Real Deal flap bag that stick out to me. The black quilted leather look, gold hardware, a double woven chain strap, and a downturn flap top. Many quilted bags out there have a straight flap, but I love that this one is down turned, like the real deal bag!
If you are looking for a bag that is most similar to the traditional look, you’ll want to get the bag above. However, the bag below from Amazon is another good alternative priced around $40 as of writing this post.
Below are more color options for both of the inspired classic flap bag. Pin the image below to save this post!
Chanel Tote Bag Alternative
For the girl who loves a good tote bag, this bag is for you! A bag like this is the perfect catch all for everyday items and also works as a great computer bag if you are looking for a stylish office tote! You will notice this bag is similar to the real deal tote. Much like the real bag, this alternative has the diamond stitch quilting, partial chain straps, gold hardware, and black color. Even more this one has hundreds of 4+ star ratings!
Boy Bag Alternative
Similar to the classic flap bag above, this is another iconic bag style from Chanel. This bag features a full flap and a straight quilted border with diamond quilting in the center. An authentic, used, black Boy Bag can be found on Rebag for about $4,400! Thankfully, one of my go-to department stores has an awesome option for under $55. Chanel has offered this bag in several colors and hardware combinations over the years. I love this red Chanel alternative from Amazon!
Chanel Hobo Bag
The Chanel hobo bag is one that varies in design each season. However, you can always spot specific elements in an iconic Chanel hobo bag such as chain detail, scooped top, wide body, and quilting. This hobo bag look-a-like is the most expensive alternative on this list, but honestly, it is so good! All of the bags by this designer give off serious Chanel vibes and I had to share at least one bag with you!
Chanel Top Handle Bag
Looking for the iconic Chanel inspired bag on a budget? This one is the best option I could find! This bag is about $70 (as of this post) and comes in so many colors. Loving this bag in nude and black! You are sure to love this timeless design.
Chanel Backpack Alternative
This Chanel backpack look-a-like from Dillard’s has a very similar style to the real designer look with a flap top, gold detailing, and quilt pattern. This is such a steal at less than $30. It is a miniature size, making it super convenient and on trend!
Chanel Bucket Bag Alternative
The final Chanel bag for this list is the trendy bucket bag. This is the cheapest bag on the list, but the style is on point and has serious designer aesthetic to it! As of this post, this look-a-like bag is priced under $20! The best part is that it has double O’s, which give off major designer vibes!
