Buying a Chanel Bag whether you buy it in the boutique or you buy it used is an experience but it also requires strategic planning or budgeting. Each potential customer has to think about how much she wants to spend on a Chanel bag, how much she has available and how she is going to buy the bag itself. Personally – I am just a fan of buying a Chanel bag new instead of used. Why? I prefer new luxury bags because I like the idea that the bag is brand new and therefore it can be moulded & sculpted to you and your personal tastes. I also don’t like the idea of buying a used bag but you can still use my financial tips to buy a Chanel bag – just adapt it to the fact that the bag is used.

How much should I pay for my Chanel bag?

The most important thing is that you should only spend what you can afford. One of the biggest mistakes people make with luxury bags whether it is Chanel, Fendi or Louis Vuitton is that they overspend in order to buy a bag. You should not get into any debt to buy a handbag. If you are buying a Chanel bag new, you will be paying the list price that you can search online. My personal preference is Boy Bags and the new trendy releases from the brand so these tend to start at $2K+ for the smaller sizes.

How much does a Chanel flap bag like this cost exactly?

This gorgeous pristine white Chanel flap bag with gold hardware retails for around $3,500 according to Chanel. I am in love with how crisp and white it is. I can imagine it looking amazing when you are drinking champagne with friends in the South of France or somewhere super glamorous like that. It does look extremely difficult to keep clean but I do love the sharpness of white handbags.

Price – $3,500 in the US, circa £2,700 in the UK

My take – I love this white Chanel handbag if you are a fashionista and if you have white outfits or if you like monochrome. I see this handbag working for women who are minimalists and maximalists but it requires a specific type of taste in order to make it work to avoid it looking too ‘bare’.

How much does a Chanel bag cost?

A Chanel Boy Bag in 2019 costs around $4,500 in USD and £3,550 in the UK for the 2019 season. The source is the Chanel website and you can see it by looking here.

Should you buy a Chanel Boy bag?

This beautiful yellow Chanel Boy bag in calfskin with gold hardware is one of my favourites and it is currently that price. As we know, Chanel is notorious for their insane price increases so make a decision on whether you are  going to buy one and take advantage of the current price or if you don’t think it is for you. Personally a Chanel Boy bag is on my list for 2019 but it is what I called a ‘determined purchase’ meaning it is one that I need to use all of the time – it’s not a bag to buy just to have it look cute without making good use of it. I have so many thoughts on style, shopping and creating budgets for luxury purchases that you can only get in my exclusive newsletter so check it out today.

Ultimately the Boy Bag looks excellent with day and nighttime looks. I prefer this smaller size because I think it looks cute but the larger ones are more practical as well.

I have found 3 gorgeous red liquid lipsticks that I think are perfect for 2019. If you are looking for new options for red liquid lippies, you have come to the right place. These are my top 3 recommendations.

1–Queen by IGXO Cosmetics – $15 in the US

This is a vibrant red shade that is a liquid matte texture. I really like this one because it isn’t drying and it won’t make your lips look cracked. Make your lips glamorous with this shade today.

2–Revolution Beauty Pro Matte Lip Pigment in Inconspicuous – £4 in the UK

This is one of my favourite liquid lipsticks. The red shade is called Inconspicuous and it definitely has that ‘fire engine’ red hue that some women love. Choose this for nights out and parties. It definitely grabs attention.

3–MAC Retro Matte Lip Colour in Feel So Good – $21 in the US, £18 in the UK

MAC calls this a true red but I would say it looks like a pillar box red shade. This is not a shade for wall flowers at all so if you want something subtle, choose the first IGXO lipstick that I mentioned. However if you love super red liquid lipsticks, this MAC one is perfect for you. I love standing out so this is one of my faves.

Making your lips pop with a red lip needs liquid lipsticks that can get the work done. I like these 3 choices but I would also be open to hearing more if you have suggestions. Get in touch with me or tell me what you think by commenting.
