Chanel is undoubtedly the authority on the quilted handbag, but if you don’t have thousands to spend on a bag, check out these great dupes for the iconic style. The designer’s Classic bag is one of the few to stand the test of time since the arm candy was debuted in 1955. After becoming tired of having to carry her handbag in her arms, Coco Chanel designed the quilted bag to free up her hands. Fast forward to 2024 and the quilted handbag is now one of the most iconic on the planet.

They’re timeless, versatile and eternally stylish, but they’re also practical and wearable. They’ll take you from loungewear to office wear, or even Friday night drinks. You never have to worry about matching and styling a quilted bag. There is no place they can’t go and they bring an instant air of sophistication with them.

Chanel is one of the few brands that increases in value over time. On average Chanel increases its prices from 8 to 12 per cent each year so if you do have a spare £4k £8k to splurge on a bag, it sounds like a solid investment to me! As for the rest of us, fear not. There are plenty of quilted handbags on the high street inspired by the designer.

Here are some of the best lookalike bags that all have the look and feel of the real bag without the alarming price tag. With prices starting from £18, we’ve found a bag for every budget. Next check out the Marc Jacobs Tote bag dupes and Chanel Dad sandals dupes.
