Vintage Chanel has a following all of its own, and so do we. We buy and appraise vintage Chanel purses, handbags, earrings, jewelry and other pieces, whether you have one bag or a whole collection.
Vintage Chanel We Buy
- Vintage Classic Flaps and 2.55 bags, including older lambskin pieces with 24k gold-plated hardware.
- Vintage Chanel purses, clutches and evening bags.
- Chanel costume jewelry: earrings, brooches, necklaces and belts.
- Collections from an estate or a long-time collector.
How a Vintage Appraisal Works
Older Chanel pieces need a careful eye. We look at the hologram sticker or serial number, the hardware, the leather and the stitching, and at how the piece has aged. A vintage bag in good shape can be worth as much as, or more than, a newer one.
For a large collection, or if you would like to talk values over the phone first, we recommend setting up an appraisal appointment so a buyer can give your pieces the time they deserve.

Questions people ask
Do you buy vintage Chanel jewelry as well as bags?
Yes. We buy vintage Chanel earrings, brooches, necklaces and other jewelry, along with purses and handbags.
Should I clean a vintage Chanel bag before selling it?
A gentle wipe is fine, but do not use leather cleaners or polish on the hardware. Bring it as it is and we will assess it.
