Best 5 Chanel Flap Alternatives to Consider Getting

Ever thought about getting a Chanel Flap? But then you look at the price tag, and you’re like, no thank you? It can cost over $10,000 depending on the size and material. 

Yeah, I think we have all been there.  

Which is why we got the best 5 Chanel Flap alternatives to get. 

1. Dior Caro 

The Dior Caro is the best Chanel Flap alternative that many recommend, and we do, too!

The Dior Caro bag is very similar to the Chanel Flap. Instead of the diamond quilting, it has Dior’s signature Cannage stitching, gold-hardware metal logo twist clasp, and an adjustable strap.  

Inside, there is a zippered and open pocket. 

A new Dior Caro costs $4,800, making it a great Chanel Flap alternative.

2. Celine Chain Triomphe 

Celine Chain Triomphe

The Celine Chain Triomphe is another Chanel Flap alternative. 

It’s similar in shape and function, but there are a couple of key differences. It doesn’t have a leather quilting, and the locking mechanism is a squeeze or press lock to open the flap. And the chain strap is removable, allowing the Chain Triomphe to be a clutch.   

The cost of a Celine Chain Triomphe is about $3,000. 

3. Celine C Bag 

Here is another Celine bag as a Flap alternative: the Celine C bag!

The Celine C bag is like the Chanel Flap in size, shape, and function. The outside texture can be smooth or grid-quilted leather. It has a large C magnetic closure with separated interior compartments and an adjustable chain strap to make it a shoulder or handbag. 

The cost of a Celine C Bag is about $3,000. 

4. Gucci Dionysus 

The Gucci Dionysus bag is a stunning bag to make your next Chanel Flap alternative.

What makes the Gucci Dionysus most unique in this list is its large tiger-head hardware on the front. It has a push-button locking mechanism. While it doesn’t have a leather chain strap, it does have a sliding chain strap.  

So, you can use the Gucci Dionysus as a shoulder, crossbody, and a top handle bag  

A new Gucci Dionysus bag costs about $3,400. But a preloved version costs under $600, depending on the condition.

5. YSL Envelope Bag

Lastly, we would recommend the YSL Envelope Bag as a Chanel Flap alternative.

In terms of exterior design, it’s really close to the Chanel Flap. The body of the bag does have a diamond quilting, but the flap has vertical and chevron stitching.  

The YSL Envelope Bag has a sliding chain strap with leather shoulder padding. So, you can use it like a crossbody, shoulder, or handbag. It has one pocket flap on the floor and a magnetic snap closure.  

It can cost between $2,600 to over $3,300.
