Chanel's iconic logo was a gift from the Château de Crémat. It is recognised everywhere on their products from pre-loved designer bags, used Chanel shoes, perfumes, and much more. The house was founded in 1910 and is now worth $9 billion, earning Chanel the coveted status of a super-brand. Chanel has joined the likes of other heritage fashion houses, such as Hermès, which are in a league of their own. Reigning over Paris and the entire fashion world, Chanel is an unstoppable force. From the iconic pre-loved Chanel little black dress and second hand Chanel Double Flap bag, to the famous pre-owned Chanel Slingbacks and the brand’s statement pre-loved Chanel jewellery, Chanel’s reputation for trend setting and dominating global fashion scenes is undeniable.
Prevailing in all corners of the fashion industry, Chanel is a global powerhouse to be reckoned with. Beginning as a hat shop in Paris, France in the early 20th century, the fashion house has reached dizzying heights in the years since. Chanel now sells everything from luxury ready to wear pieces and pre-loved Chanel handbags, to second hand Chanel watches and beauty products, like the Rouge Essentiel 500 nail colour. From the outset, founder Coco Chanel set out to change the way women dress. At the time, Coco believed that women’s fashion didn’t successfully cater to women. She wanted to help transform the industry and began to design pieces which perfectly fused functionality with style. Her legacy lives on in fashion to this day. Chanel’s designs helped define an era and heavily influenced the famous flapper aesthetic of the 1920s.
The house dominated the luxury fashion market for decades. But sadly, after Coco’s death in 1971, the brand’s power and allure began to dwindle. Enter Karl Lagerfeld who took the helm at Chanel in 1983. He shook up the aging fashion house and brought Chanel into the modern era. One of his first moves as creative director was redesigning the famous Chanel bag, the 2.55 Flap. Lagerfeld added the CC logo previously designed by Coco in 1925 to the popular shoulder bag and the now iconic Chanel Classic Flap was born. Under Lagerfeld’s direction, the brand went from strength to strength and regained its influence over the fashion industry. The pre-loved Chanel Classic Flap is now one of the most lusted after pre-owned designer bags in luxury consignment.
Second hand Chanel bags are undeniably a huge part of the house’s popularity. Whether a Chanel second hand shoulder, flap, top handle, chain, crossbody or shopper design, all pre-owned Chanel bags, regardless of if they are small, medium or large, seem to prove a hit with fashion aficionados. Chanel is most famous for its shoulder flap bags, notably the 2.55 and Chanel Classic Flap. However, other Chanel second hand bags such as the hand held Deauville tote and its drawstring handbagdesigns have also proved sought after, especially when it comes to Chanel consignment and buying Chanel on sale.
