Shop The Chanel Handbag That Keeps On Going Up In Price

It’s quite staggering to think that the price of Dior’s Book Tote was once half the price than what it is now. Much of this has to do with practicality, with designers underestimating just how much a do-it-all tote is needed our day-to-day lives. We mean, who wouldn’t want a bag that you can take to the office, the gym, for an overnight stay or even just to go get coffee? A tote like the Book Tote basically doubles-up as 5 bags in one, and unfortunately for us, the price now reflects this.

The Deauville tote by Chanel is another example of this. The tote is double what it was when it was first released in 2012, but this hasn’t put fans off. One of the brand’s most iconic styles, Chanel has continued to bring out this shape in multitude collections, updating colours, hardware and materials to suit the season and collection themes.

Fusing timeless style and practicality, the bag features Chanel’s iconic CC logo and the address of Coco’s first boutique; 31 Rue Cambon – there’s really no mistaking that this is a Chanel bag! It’s also fitted with long-chain straps as well as top handles for easy carrying.

A celebrity favourite, the Deauville is regularly spotted on the arm of fashion It girls and off-duty red carpet stars. With its low-key look and practical size, many use it as a beach or vacation bag.

Each season the Chanel Deauville tote gets reimagined in different fabrics and colours. The original design of this tote was created in canvas in limited colours, but you can since shop limited edition styles such as denim, leather and shearling - which if you’re quick enough you’ll be able to find on luxury resale sites.

It’s worth noting that the last time the Deauville was released was in 2018, however, there are still plenty of styles to shop on the second-hand market. When it comes to luxury investments, this is one you won’t regret.
