When asked about one of the most classic handbags ever, Chanel comes to mind. The Chanel Classic Flap is synonymous with timeless. If you have the budget to splurge, this is a staple for your collection.

Chanel bags are also known for their high price tags. Many of us can not afford a nearly $3,000 bag. If you are looking for an option for a Chanel look for less, Urban Outfitters has an option.

Everything about the Deena & Ozzy Tweed Chain Bag resembles the Chanel Extra Large Flap in Quilted Tweed. The price difference is a whopping $2,753. The Deena & Ozzy bag has a tonal herringbone tweed shell with quilt stitch detailing. The woven chain link strap is is also reminiscent of Chanel.

I like that stores try to give us a look for less, which is clearly what Urban Outfitters is trying to do. Though sometimes the resemblance is too close to the original for my liking. Chanel Extra Large Flap Bag in tweed costs $2,795 at Chanel boutiques. Deena & Ozzy bag is $42 via Urban Outfitters.

It's a great looking bag, but is it wrong that I'd rather have the real thing????

^^ Me too, but with an extra $2,753 in my pocket (or index funds), I think I could learn to love the D&O version.

I still can't get over the price tag for the Chanel's tweed bag. Yikes!

Nearly $2,800 for a tweed flap?! What is the retail cost for the cavier and lambskin version?

LeeMiller · Oct 7th, 2009, 05:38 PM

LMAO! I have real Chanel bags and I still ordered this one. I love it. Really, it looks great, especially in the black/grey tweed (going to order the brown too). Is it as nice as my Chanel 2.55 tote, no, but is it a great deal and chic bag, absolutely! Also, because its material, rather than a cheap PVC look, its a much nicer bag, IMO.

*Maybe I should care that it looks so Chanel, but I just don't.*
