Everyone knows Chanel, everyone loves Chanel.
All because of their gorgeous collections, their great and everlasting quality and their interesting history.
Some essential typical Chanel pieces to get will be pointed out and explained in this article.
There are obviously some pricey pieces, but we made sure to put some pieces in, that nearly everyone could save up for, if they would be willing to spend their money on their very own Chanel item.

The best-known must-have is the "Flap Bag 2.55", an all-time classic. Coco Chanel herself designed the original version during the 1920s, then in 1955 she re-designed the bag and created the version that is so well-known today. Its price range goes from around 3,000 to 6,300 pounds (or 3.000€ to 7.300€).
A classic is the so-called "classic bag" 11.12, designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983 is a new approach to the previous mentioned 2.55 flap bag. It has a slim chain, the double C clasp and a double flap. Its price range is from around 4,800 to 7,200 pounds (or 5.500€ - 8.500€).
Additionally you can get a card holder or a flap wallet in the same style, from 410 pounds (or 440€).
Another well-known bag is the "boy Chanel handbag", created by Karl Lagerfeld and named after Coco Chanel's first love Boy Capel. It has a double C clasp and a rectangular structure and works perfectly with almost every outfit. There are also many options in order to get a Portemonnaie that matches the style of the boy bag. The prices start at around 350 pounds (or 400€)
There are also so called "wallets on chain" that resemble the 3 bags mentioned before, they have a smaller size and price. For example the "boy wallet on chain" can be purchased for 2,100 pounds (or 2.340€).
A classic Chanel item can also be found in their beautiful costume jewelry selection.
For example some classic metal double C earrings, which can be purchased with prices starting from around 290 pounds (or 330€).

Other Chanel essentials are any pearl-accessorised items. Could be another pearly piece of costume jewelry? For example the pearl necklace (made of metal and glass pearls) for 590 pounds (or 630€) or some classic double C earrings with a pearl for 290 pounds (or 330 €).
Other pearly items are the "clutch with chain" ( 2,380 pounds / 2.600 €) and the "mini wallet on chain" (2,9820 pounds / 3.250€). They are small bags on a pearl chain and give a classy touch to your outfit.
Classic Chanel ballerina flats or Mary Jane's can never fail to impress. The classic two-toned shoes were designed by Coco Chanel in 1957 in a beige-black colour contrast. The Mary Jane's are around 990 pounds or 1.150 €. The ballerina flats are around 570 pounds or 640€.
Of course a must-have is the signature Chanel No°5 scent. Starting at 57 pounds or 68€.
For our younger audience we can recommend getting the Chanel Mademoiselle scent, that has a young modern touch. It's around 86 pounds or 74€. (The prices refer to the eau the Parfums).
The most "Chanel" - item of all time is definitely a tweed blazer or suit. It's very pricey, at around 10,000 pounds or 11.900€.
And of course anything that has a Camellia on it just screams "Chanel".
It's possible to just get a Camellia on it's own (starting at 570 pounds or 660€) or jewelry for example a golden bracelet with a tiny Camellia on it for 550 pounds or 630€.
