Nicole Richie’s Chanel Crossbody: Get the Look for Less

Care to guess Nicole Richie’s favorite bag? Hint: It’s an iconic bag that doubles as a crossbody bag. Need more hints? Here, take a look at Nicole who was spotted with a crossbody when out for lunch with some friends:

Got it already? I thought so. It’s a Chanel, alright. The trademark chain strap is a big giveaway, right?

So Nicole Richie’s favorite crossbody is a Chanel bag. In fact, the socialite seems to have a lot of Chanel bags in her closet, judging by the different styles and designs of this luxurious brand that she has been carrying lately. Earlier last month, she was spotted with another Chanel in tow.

A Chanel bag is certainly a must have, I give them that. Chanel bags have exceptional designs and belong to that class of bags which has major staying power. It’s utterly normal for every girl to want to have one, too. So if money isn’t a big consideration for you, then why not, right? Get your own iconic Chanel bag. But for those who are on a tight budget yet still want to look stylish with a Chanel look-alike of their own, there are actually many great alternatives that would have you looking as chic as when carrying a Chanel. Take these gorgeous quilted bags, for instance:

Nine West New City Box Crossbody, $49.99

Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Rocker Cross-Body, $275.00

Juicy Couture Collection Quilted Leather Mini Cross-Body, $198.00

Juicy Couture Fashion Velour Quilted Cross-Body, $102.40

These quilted bags are no Chanel, but they sure go a long way in making you look fab and sophisticated. They’re luxurious, just as trendy, and—best of all—they cost much less than a Chanel. Pair them with the right pieces, and you’ll be looking like socialite Nicole Richie in no time.
