The perfect item for everyone on your list — and we’re spreading the holiday cheer by giving away Chanel, YSL, and Dior bags on Whatnot. Yes, you read that right!

______________________________________________________________________

The countdown is on… and we’re all feeling the pressure of the waning number of days until holiday gift exchanges. Wouldn’t it be easier if you just knew exactly what to buy those special discerning luxury lovers on your list?

Well, then, it’s your lucky day. We’ve curated a selection of handbags that make fabulous holiday presents. From young to old, experienced collectors to newbies, at various price points, we’ve taken care of your shopping list. All you have to do is purchase the purses.

And speaking of the actual shopping, pre-loved is a wonderful way to source difficult-to-find pieces. Not only can it often be done from the comfort of your home with just a few clicks, but there may be more options than at a retail boutique. Additionally, shopping resale can also be more budget-friendly, leaving you cash to add on a few more gifts for the special people in your life (or for yourself). And in this case, it might even be free!

Shop our amazing curated picks and more on Whatnot on November 30th, for the chance to win a free Dior, Chanel, or YSL bag.

Gifts for Someone Who Has All the Classics

The person who seems to already have everything is one of the hardest to purchase gifts for. So skip them. Kidding, of course. The trick is to find something that they would never buy for themselves. Easier said than done, but consider when you (or they) have admired an item thinking it’s cool or innovative, but put it back on the shelf. That’s your sweet spot here.

Let’s begin with a Chanel backpack in caviar leather. The typical Chanel lover may have all the Classic Flaps, Reissues, and 19s, but a backpack in the ever-durable caviar leather and stunning gold hardware will be a welcome addition to spice up any collection: stylish and practical! And Redeluxe is giving one away on Whatnot! Her store is also full of other special Chanel pieces, all in pristine condition, like a rare double turn-lock (2 CC’s) briefcase and a fluorescent nylon Boy Bag.

And of course, no one actually has “everything,” so this is the perfect time to seek out older and quirkier models of handbags. Consider some of Judith Lieber’s creations – and go thematic. Get the owner of a bistro the ‘french fry’ minaudière. Or the 2010 birdcage bag for the bird lover in your life.

Alternatively, be Sex and The City inspired. Carrie’s purple sequin Fendi baguette has never gone out of style. Or Maybe Emily in Paris is a better benchmark for your gift recipient. In Season 3, Emily carried the Louis Vuitton Black Coussin BB bag. She repeated from Season 1 her 1995 Chanel Checkered shoulder bag. We can’t wait to see which of these treasures are featured for sale on November 30th.

Gifts for the Super Collector

Ah, the experienced handbag fashionistas on the list. You know who we mean. The one whose closet you hope to one day raid… whether chock-full of Birkins, Chanel minaudières, Goyard totes in a rainbow assortment, and a panoply of Louis Vuitton, Dior, Celine, Prada, and more.

For this relative or friend, not just any handbag will do. Rare, special, and hard to find is the assignment.

If the sky’s the limit pricewise, the obvious choice is the ultimate holy grail bag – a white niloticus Himalaya Birkin or Kelly…

Heading back down to earthly shopping, what about adding a Kelly Pochette to the mix? Or maybe a Vintage Chanel flap from the years prior to 2008. In those years, the gold hardware was truly gold-plated and today’s chains are no match for those. You can find all of these in Fashionica’s Whatnot show. Or look for classics with a twist – like a cream Dior Saddle Bag with two interchangeable straps, which she’ll be giving away.

Gifts for the Newer Collector

Hoping to make someone’s handbag dreams come true? Perhaps your daughter who pines for her first Chanel. Or mom ever so deserving of a Hermès Kelly. We all know someone embarking on a luxury journey… and what better way to launch them than with that special bag handpicked from the Whatnot show. Trust us, they’ll always remember their first.

For many people, Louis Vuitton is the gateway brand to a luxe bag addiction (and we use that word in the best possible way). Classic Monogram is typically the first choice, with Damier right behind, and there’s a full range of styles depending on your price point. Start with a Pochette – perfect for a teen or young adult looking for a date bag. The Neverfull is a classy tote for work or baby/child supplies.

Another option is YSL. Over the last decade, the brand has released and re-released several handbags that have proven quite popular. Consider one of YSL’s latest “it” bags – Le 5 à 7. In smaller sizes, this leather shoulder bag sits neatly and tight under the arm. Or lengthen the adjustable strap for more, shall we say, swing. Either way, it has that je ne sais quoi.

Anthology of Style is giving away a brand new one in her Whatnot show. Plus she has many classic and rare Chanel flaps, and classic LV, YSL, and Dior. Moreover, if you can’t decide on what to add to a handbag collection, she has plenty of Chanel jewelry and RTW pieces too.

Gifts for the Couple

Forget the pickleball set. Get your favorite couple a bag they can both use. The obvious choice is a tote that doubles as a diaper bag or beach bag. It might be a bit upscale, but the Louis Vuitton Neverfull and Goyard Saint Louis look good on any gender and elevate poolside style.

With upcoming seaside holiday vacations, both Celine and Loewe make stunning straw basket bags with leather detailing. Tote-ally perfect.

Another option is a hobo shaped bag, probably in a larger size. The YSL iCare certainly works, especially if you need to lug your entire world on the daily. Alternatively, Bottega Veneta is always classic and its drawstring bucket bag in intrecciato leather will stun on anyone’s shoulder.
