While the rest of the world peered at these pics of a strolling KJ and A$AP Rocky then played the are-they-aren’t-they dating game, we watched on wide-mouthed for an entirely different reason.
Setting aside the fishnet flash and fur quotient (really Kendall? If high-end faux’s perfect enough for Gigi, is the real thing really necessary?) what really grabbed us was that other dodgy statement piece of choice: her vintage Chanel bum bag.

So collectible. So cool. So very much the new object of our accessory affection. And a very appropriate choice of tote for a relaxed stroll around a high end Parisian flea market in kitten heels with your maybe/maybe not beau, before a meeting with the bosses at Christian Dior headquarters.
In the case you don’t have a stash of vintage fanny packs in your family fashion vault like Kendall, here are 7 online hotspots that regularly sell second-hand Chanel, plus our favourite picks right now at each. Happy hunting!

1. 1st Dibs sells far more than fashion – there’s fine art, jewellery, clothing and even antique furniture – but with literally tens of thousands of handbags listed, chances are a Vintage Chanel Waist Purse like this gem from the 1980s (listed for $1247) will always be amongst them. (When we looked, there were half a dozen for sale.)

Try your luck here. This Chanel Sport Line Canvas Fanny Pack originally retailed in store for $2422, but was listed here for $414 in used condition.
