Hermes and Chanel rule in the bag world and are easily two of the most popular brands in the fashion industry. Speaking financially, Hermes and Chanel have been reported as the best bag investments. Bag aficionados often list Hermes and Chanel bags as their ultimate holy grail bag choices because these brands create some of the most aspirational, unique, and not to mention, most expensive bags available.
It might be easy to pick Hermes and Chanel as some of your favorite brands, but can you truly choose between the actual bags in each collection?? Now, that’s a much harder dilemma…Today, PurseBop gives you this very challenge: the Hermes vs. Chanel FACEOFF!
First, imagine yourself in a completely hypothetical shopping scenario of choosing between a Hermes bag versus a Chanel Bag. Down below, we’ve paired a few H vs. CC combinations to stir your brain. Out of the two listed, pick which bag you like the best or would buy given the options available. Remember, this quiz is completely for fun and to get a sense of our community’s bag preferences.

Satchel Bags
Hermes Kelly vs. Chanel Coco Handle
The Hermes Kelly bag and Chanel Coco Handle are both satchel bags that have a very feminine look. Both bags can be stylized to work with more dressed up or dressed down looks. The Kelly bag was created first, and it seems like the Coco Handle takes a bit of influence from the Kelly bag. Both bags are indeed very similar, but would you go Kelly or Coco?

Special Pick
Limited Edition Chanel Bag vs. Exotic Hermes Clutch
In general, limited edition and exotic bags can be very hard to attain and are considered to be collector’s items. If you were looking for that one special, stunning bag, would you go with a limited edition Chanel piece (from any season) or an exotic Hermes clutch (any)? In this example, we use the Chanel Bottle Bag and exotic Kelly Pochette, but feel free to consider any other limited edition Chanel piece or exotic Hermes clutch for your answer!

The Birkin is one of Hermes’ most exclusive, coveted, and costly bags. Likewise, the Classic Flap is Chanel’s most iconic, desired bag and the maxi size is the most expensive in the range. If we’re considering these bags as each brand’s top of the line, “flagship” bag, which would you ultimately choose?
