There's no denying that the Chanel 25 handbag is the best designer handbag of 2026. With actress Margot Robbie as the face and shoulders of this design, it features Chanel's quintessential quilted fabric and interlocking CCs. The bag shot straight to the top of my wishlist, but with prices starting at £5220 and the bag being available to buy exclusively in-store, the Chanel 25 handbag was staying firmly out of reach, at least for now.
You can buy a pre-loved Chanel 25 handbag on sites such as Farfetch, but at almost double the price, my Chanel 25 handbag dream drifted a little further away - or so I thought. I've been doing some research and found an incredible alternative for a fraction of the price from the American brand Tory Burch.
