The story

A wallet with a chain: card slots and a zip pocket inside a quilted flap, worn crossbody. The most popular way into Chanel.

It is also the most traded Chanel piece on eBay, so its price is easy to read. Recent ones resell well under retail, and older ones go for far less.

High volume means a lot of fakes. Buy it authenticated.

Our verdict: Recent bags resell at about 81% of today's boutique price (Classic). A buyer's market, not a flip.
