Chanel Coco Handle Review + Replica vs. Auth [Reference]

My big sis recently received a beautiful Chanel Coco Handle from Perfectcclub and she also has an Replica Knockoff one in another color.

So I asked her to share a comparison between this replica and her Replica Knockoff bag. I know many of you love comparison photos of bags, so let’s feast our eyes together!

Here are the side-by-side comparison photos of the Chanel Coco Handle bags:

Guess which one is the Replica Knockoff and which one is the replica?

Can you spot a fake Chanel if I don’t tell you?

Actually, I wasn’t planning on buying a new bag, but after seeing hers, I found the Chanel Coco Handle bag more and more tempting.

So, when I saw the Coco bag in the seller album, I was like, “Yep, gotta have one!” And I picked a dreamy purple color. It’s absolutely beautiful! And now my sis is jealous of me lol.

Before the replica review, let’s get to know the Chanel Coco Handle a bit better, so you can choose the one that fits you the best.

Design and Features of Chanel Coco handle

If you look at Chanel’s website, you’ll see all the classic models like the 2.55, Classic Flap, 22, 19, and the Boy bag.

They all have their own special sections, but the Coco Handle doesn’t have one.

Despite this, this Chanel Flap Bag with Top Handle continues to be released year after year, and it’s always super popular!

It features classic Chanel elements like

• the quilted pattern
• the double C logo
• and the leather-through-chain design

The Coco Handle looks a lot like the Chanel Classic Flap.

Here are some other key features of the bag:

• Front flap
• Trapezoidal shape
• Single top handle
• Mona Lisa back pocket

The Chanel Coco Handle is versatile when it comes to carrying options. Depending on its size, you can carry it by hand, sling it cross-body, or wear it over your shoulder.

Chanel Coco Handle size guide

The Coco Handle bag comes in four sizes: mini, small, large, and maxi.

BTW, both my sister’s and my Chanel Coco bags are in small sizes.

Mini

This size works for anyone, no matter how tall you are.

You can wear it on one shoulder or crossbody. And if you’re on the shorter side, you can loop the chain around the flap for shoulder carry.

Small

Also a great all-around size.

It perfectly blends casual and business styles, making it suitable for any occasion, and it doesn’t overwhelm those who are petite when worn crossbody.

Large/Maxi

Best for carrying by hand, leaning towards a more professional look.

It’s great for work and quick trips. If you’re about 5’3” or shorter, it might feel a bit large, but for those over 5’5”, it’s an excellent fit, especially if you’re going for that sophisticated, business-ready look.

What fits inside my Chanel Coco handle small

I was surprised by how much I can actually fit in it since it widens at the base quite a bit.

It can hold:

• A few makeup necessities or sunglasses
• A card holder
• A wallet
• A phone
• AirPods
• Keys

The mini and small sizes are super popular, and they’re really lightweight, too. If you’re trying to decide between those two, I’d say go for the small. It’s not much bigger than the mini, but it gives you a bit more room.

The large and maxi sizes are a bit heavier, but they’re still lighter than a lot of other big bags from different collections. So if you’re into the handle style, don’t worry too much about the weight.

PROS CONS of Coco handle

Pros

• The Chanel Coco Handle (smaller sizes) is lightweight, even when it’s packed full, the strap won’t dig into your shoulders.
• It’s got all the classic Chanel features, which is a huge bonus if you’re into Chanel’s style.
• It also comes in a ton of colors and materials, so there’s something for everyone.
• You can carry it in different ways, and you can even throw on a twilly or ribbon to change up the look!
• It’s classy enough for work but still cool enough to carry around after hours.

Cons

• The Coco Handle’s got this stiff, padded leather that can make it kinda hard to get to your stuff quickly.
• And the handle itself is pretty rigid, so it might be a bit annoying to store or lug around.

Review of my Chanel Coco handle small

quality 10/10

The leather quality and the stitching of this bag are pretty much on par with the Replica Knockoff Chanel Coco bags I’ve seen.

Also, the leather has such a nice smell—almost floral, which I absolutely love.

• The metal chain on my bag is really well made.

They don’t twist or make any noise when I use the bag, which means the leather is woven through the chains just right, not too tight.

I’m really happy with the resistance of the CC turnlock on this bag.

• The inside fabric fits tightly against the bag.
• The interior zipper slides smoothly.
• There’s a leather logo inside stamped with “CHANEL” in gold foil that’s even and straight, with solid stitching all around.

Overall, no issues with the workmanship quality—it’s all well done.

Accuracy – 9.8/10

• The leather on both the inside of the top flap and the outside of the Coco Handle is evenly colored.
• The hardware is pristine without any tarnishes or scratches.
• The leather Chanel logo is evenly stamped, the font matches the Replica Knockoff versions perfectly.

I really like the light gold hardware—it’s perfect because it straddles silver and gold, not too yellow or bright, and not too cool-toned either.

• The engravings on the handle base and chain links all match up to the Replica Knockoff one.

The color of the small Coco Handle is absolutely gorgeous and matches the Replica Knockoff version pretty closely, even down to the way the iridescence turns colors (pinks/greens/blues/purples).

The texture of the leather is very close to the Replica Knockoff 20K purple caviar from Chanel. (Chanel’s caviar depth/flatness varies by color/season/batch)

Can’t really call out anything in particular.

Here are some examples of flatter caviar/medium depth caviar/deep caviar:

Conclusion

How do I put this? I’m totally addicted to this Chanel Coco Handle!

Honestly, the Chanel replicas I’ve gotten have been spectacular, and with these prices, Chanel should really watch out, especially with their frequent price increases.

For those of you who don’t have access to authentic, I want to tell you that NOBODY would ever be able to tell the difference.

The leather, the shape, the handles, the straps, everything screams quality here gals.

I would feel confident wearing it anywhere, even allowing any of the SAs at my local Chanel store to handle it close-up (open it, carry it, etc).
