Ever since I was young, I’ve had a serious knack for shopping. My affinity for shopping extends beyond hitting the mall, though. There’s something magical about digging through secondhand stores and

vintage shops until you’ve unearthed a hidden gem (like a vintage Chanel bag or vintage jewelry). Shopping secondhand is not only the easiest way to cut your closet’s carbon footprint, but it’s also the most affordable way to begin to collect designer pieces. 

Of course, there’s a specific art to finding the best vintage Chanel bags. You have to know where to look and what to look for, which is why we reached out to Tracy DiNunzio, CEO and founder of Tradesy, along with Emily Erkel, CMO co-founder of LePrix, and Kesha Linder, a merchandiser at ThredUp, to have them share their vintage shopping tips.

Whether you’re new to shopping vintage or unsure how to score the best vintage online, ahead, you’ll discover tips and tricks for finding the best vintage Chanel bags online. That’s right—the secret to securing your perfect bag is just a few scrolls away.
