Vanity bags from Chanel come in various styles, ensuring there’s a vanity case suitable for anyone. Chanel offers a wide range of bag options for every taste and need. From traditional vanity bags to chic versions with chains that double as stylish crossbody bags, Chanel has it all. Whether you’re looking for a vanity bag that can hold all your essentials or one with a unique shape that turns heads, Chanel has you covered.

Traditional Vanity Bags From Chanel: The Cosmetic Case

To start, Chanel has a variety of vanity bags but if you’re seeking a traditional style, consider the famous Chanel cosmetic case. You can find it in horizontal or vertical styles. Most of these are vintage, from the late ‘90s to early 2000s so they add the perfect nostalgic edge. 

Chanel cosmetic cases have a top handle and a classic look, giving off a timeless vibe that’s great for anyone. Whether you’re packing your makeup and travel essentials on the go or glamming up at home, these traditional vanity bags from Chanel never disappoint – considering most of these are in Chanel’s iconic caviar leather. Can it get more luxe than that? 

Chanel Vanity Styles With Chain

There are several Chanel vanity bag styles with a chain. These are the modern-day cosmetic cases from Chanel. By upgrading this style with a chain, suddenly a world of more opportunities comes to fruition. And with that, more styles featuring the classic leather and chain straps – some even with pearls. 

The Modern-Day Chanel Vanity Case with Chain 

Chanel’s classic Vanity with chain comes in many different sizes and styles. They share similar shapes as the original Chanel cosmetic case but with a chain strap added. Some come with a top handle, and some come without. Here are a few notable selections. 

1. Chanel Filigree Vanity Case
2. Chanel Mini Vanity Vase With Pearl

There so many variations of the Chanel Vanity with chain – all of them are unique in their own ways and constantly come in new looks thanks to Chanel special collections that are released season after season, such as the Pillow Crush Vanity Case with Chain in purple. Keep ‘em coming Chanel!

Just imagine a vanity case you could bring to work because it actually looks like a work bag. Those exist. Cue the Chanel Square Vanity Case; it’s the perfect hybrid of a cosmetic case and briefcase if you ask me. This bag in burgundy is particularly stunning! 

Chanel Pocket Vanity Cases

Vanity bags with pockets? Two styles come to mind. The Chanel Top Handle Pocket Vanity Case and the Polly Pocket Top Handle Vanity With Chain. More compartments mean more places to pack the essentials, of course.

The Chanel Filigree Vanity Case

The Chanel Filigree Vanity case is truly iconic and remains a top choice for many. Its silhouette reminds me of a stylish lunchbox, bringing back memories of my mom packing lunchables for me every day. Maybe that’s why I’m obsessed with charcuterie boards. Jokes aside, the Filigree Vanity Case is a top choice for someone seeking a highly recognized Chanel style that’s also a practical crossbody bag, seamlessly transitioning from day to night.
