Gabrielle Coco Chanel prided herself on designing beautiful handbags that were still functional; and insisted on creating bags that had hands-free options as this was a crucial element for daily use. All Chanel bags were always designed with the everyday woman in mind, and this is still the case in 2022.
Chanel bags will always be the epitome of luxury, and will forever remain a status symbol within the fashion world. As luxurious as they may be, you may find yourself asking, what are the best everyday Chanel bags that are currently available in 2022?
Find out which 7 Chanel bags I think are the best for everyday use…
1. Chanel 19 Bag
There is no question about it – the Chanel 19 bag is one of the most sought-after bags on the luxury market. The 19 bag is a Chanel lover’s dream with its luxurious and puffy quilting, and oversized chunky crossbody chain; a perfect everyday bag.
The Chanel 19 bag is available in various sizes, ranging from a small crossbody to a maxi flap size. However, the small and large flap bag variations of the 19 bag are most suited for everyday use. The small size of the Chanel 19 is roomy enough to carry all your daily essentials and works perfectly as a crossbody making it one of the best everyday Chanel bags.
However, if you are hoping to carry an iPad and diary, the large size may be better suited. We cover all the sizes of the Chanel 19 with further details in our dedicated blog post here.
One of the standout features of the Chanel 19, is the multiple ways in which it can be worn. You can simply use the top handle to carry the bag in your hand or arm, or you can use the long strap on your shoulder or cross-body. The Chanel 19 has a casual yet luxurious feel to it; the ultimate combination for an everyday bag.
2. Chanel Business Affinity Bag
First launched in 2017, the Business Affinity remains part of Chanel’s core collection. The Business Affinity has a fresh new twist on the Classic Flap design; with a much more minimal aesthetic. In comparison to the Classic Flap Bag, the Business Affinity’s price point is a lot more reasonable; therefore you may feel a little bit more comfortable using this bag on a daily basis.
The Business Affinity has all the features needed to make it an incredibly functional bag. There are multiple compartments and pockets within the bag for organization. The bag is also slightly adjustable when it comes to size – the bag can actually be expanded ever so slightly when needed by using the carefully designed poppers on the side. Not only is the Business Affinity functional when it comes to capacity but it can also be worn in a variety of ways, including crossbody. Currently, the Chanel Business Affinity is one of the most sought-after bags due to its practicality, price tag, and carefree vibe.

With all the classic characteristics we love from the fashion house, the Deauville tote is one of Chanel’s most casual pieces within their core collection and therefore one of the most functional.

7. Chanel Classic Flap Bag
One of the most iconic handbags in the world has to be the Chanel Classic Flap. This bag will forever remain one of the most sought-after bags in the luxury fashion world; as not only are they beautiful but also functional. Available in multiple size variants, materials, leathers, and colors; there is a perfect Chanel Classic Flap bag for everyone.
When it comes to everyday use, what size Chanel Classic Flap is best? If you are looking for a bag you can easily run your daily errands with, we would suggest looking at the larger sizes of the Classic Flap. The medium-size Classic Flap and Jumbo are the most practical options when it comes to everyday use. The Classic Flap in the jumbo size works well every day if you are looking for a bag that can be easily worn crossbody, or comfortably on the shoulder.
You may also consider the single flap variation of the Classic Flap Bag, as these styles can hold significantly more than the double flap variation. In addition, single-flap bags tend to be much lighter to use on an everyday basis, especially in jumbo size. This is something you may want to consider when choosing your perfect everyday Chanel Classic Flap.
