Some people crave a vacation. Others crave a new Chanel bag. With Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2025 collection now in boutiques, the temptation to splurge is real. But here’s the good news – not every bag has a five-figure price tag. Whether plotting your next big purchase or just window-shopping with intent, there are still gems to be found – bags that deliver the Chanel magic while staying around or under $6K.

From metallic minis to sporty mesh, here are six bags worth considering this summer.
Chanel 25 Small Handbag - $6,000
A recurring favorite since its Cruise 2024/25 debut, the Chanel 25 continues its reign into summer with a new lineup of sun-washed shades. In its smallest size, measuring 11.8 × 10.2 × 5.5 inches, this slouchy trapezoid silhouette offers an easy, wearable alternative to more structured styles – retaining all the hallmarks of a future classic – quilted leather, CC turn-lock accents, and a chunky chain shoulder strap.

Whether worn as a relaxed shoulder bag or handheld for a more elevated look, the Chanel 25 completes any outfit. Choose from several seasonal shades, including Light Green, Light Yellow, Light Pink, Beige, and PurseBop’s favorite, metallic Silver – all retailing for $6,000 in the small size.
Backpack - $5,800
Chanel redefines the classic backpack for Spring-Summer 2025 with a sleek, versatile design that retains the brand’s signature codes. The new style features a hobo-inspired silhouette, with a softly slouching top that folds neatly under a zip-top closure, creating a relaxed yet polished look. Crafted from flat quilted calfskin, this piece forgoes bold logos, opting for subtle CC detailing at the strap attachments for a refined touch.
The bag’s adjustable interlinked shoulder straps, accented with antique gold-tone chain links, offer multiple styling options—wear it traditionally as a backpack or convert it into a shoulder bag for a more elevated look. Available in two sizes, the large version measures 10.6 × 13 × 4.1 inches, while the oversized style measures 13.2 × 11 × 4.1 inches. Both sizes are available in Black and White, featuring gold-tone hardware, with prices set under the $6K mark – $5,300 for the large size and $5,800 for the oversized version.
Maxi Shopping Bag - $5,800
Refined yet relaxed, Chanel’s new Maxi Shopping Bag feels like the Maison’s contemporary answer to the iconic Supermodel tote — oversized, effortless, and endlessly versatile. Crafted from supple calfskin with flat quilting, this bag pairs vintage hobo appeal with a structured silhouette designed for the everyday. An open-top design secured by a subtle CC turn-lock, plus adjustable chain straps with buckle fastenings, offers a customised fit.
Perfect as a beach-to-city workhorse or an airport carry-on with major style points, the 14.2 × 23.2 × 5.1 inch version offers both fashion and function, and retails for $5,800.
Not everything Chanel offers this summer is designed to make a big impression. For those who prefer something more compact yet equally chic, the Clutch with Chain collection delivers. These smaller styles offer classic Chanel design – all while staying well under the $6k mark.
Clutch with Chain - $3,300
Light, playful, and made for warm weather, the Clutch with Chain in mesh delivers on both form and function. Its half-moon shape (5.9 × 8.7 × 2.4 inches) combines breezy mesh with lambskin detailing, offering a fresh, textured look. The adjustable chain strap provides versatility, letting you wear it crossbody, on the shoulder, or carried by hand. Inside, a quilted leather pouch ensures your essentials stay secure, while the outer mesh maintains a sports luxe vibe.
Ideal for pairing with everything from denim cutoffs to a slip dress, this clutch seamlessly transitions from day to night. Available in Black and White, it’s finished with gold-tone hardware and retails for $3,300.
Clutch with Chain - $2,900
Chanel embraces high-shine metallics this season offering a Clutch with Chain crafted from metallic calfskin. This seasonal take on a flap bag design replaces the signature turn-lock closure with a sleek magnetic fastening beneath the iconic CC detailing. Available in gleaming Silver or warm Gold, each version features matching tone-on-tone hardware that amplifies the bag’s luminous feel.

The chain strap, equipped with two eyelets, offers multiple styling options – tuck it inside to carry the bag as a chic clutch, wear it on the shoulder, or double it up for a short strap carry. Measuring 3.9 × 6.5 × 2 inches, it’s notably smaller than the Classic Rectangular Mini, making it the ultimate compact companion. For a more classic look, the Clutch with Chain is also available in Black with gold-tone hardware. This seasonal piece retails for $2,900.
Clutch with Chain - $2,850
For an alternative to Chanel’s signature quilted leather, the lambskin Clutch with Chain is a softly structured evening bag. The smooth leather has gentle ruching, accented by an oversized imitation pearl and petite CC emblem at the front. A zip-top fastening keeps essentials secure, while the leather-woven chain strap adds versatility – wear it over the shoulder or carry it as a clutch. Measuring 5.5 × 9.4 × 1.9 inches, the bag is slim enough to slip under the arm yet roomy enough for essentials.
Paired with tailoring or evening wear, it’s effortlessly elegant—carry it as a clutch or wear the detachable gold chain on the shoulder for hands-free polish. Available in Black or Silver, it retails for $2,850.

All of the under $6000 Chanel look like cheap imitations of real Chanel. Even the newer quilted bags in the stores are not the same quality of older bags. What the heck is going on? Prices go up, quality goes down- maybe it’s time to get back to quality and pricing without gauging. Stay true to the brand.
