Unarguably one of the most ICONIC luxury brands in the world, Chanel has redefined trends time and again. The brand has given birth to some unforgettable pop-culture moments such as 'Are you wearing.. the Chanel boots!?' (cc The Devil Wears Prada), and this year's Met Gala, which was a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld (the creative director of Chanel from 1983 till the time he passed away in 2019). An avid consumer of luxury goods or not, there might be only a few people who would not recognise the two Cs, interlocked in backward, and would not sell their souls (cause we know we will) to get their hands on bags, perfumes, or clothes, produced by the House of Chanel. But till the time, we can't break a deal with Mephistopheles, we have found some alternatives to Chanel's six most classic products that will add a similar elegant femininity to your style without burning a hole in your pocket.

'Five drops of Chanel No.5, and nothing else', Marilyn Monroe and innumerable others have sworn by Chanel No.5 for years. The fragrance is so popular and sought after, and stands as a timeless beauty that every woman wants in her wardrobe. The scent is a composition of florals which includes rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and lily, layered over a warm woody base. This vegan, cruelty-free wild jasmine scent for The Body Shop, contains notes of floral, creamy notes of wild jasmine, violet leaf, and white iris, and exudes a very similar vibe as Chanel No.5

Classic Flap Bag

Honestly, Chanel flap bags need no praise from us as to why they are just so stunning and gorgeous. At the time they were created to let women be hands-free from carrying clutches and purses, to go around town with a long shoulder strap, and we don't know who still does not want to cherish that same feeling. The Carol, by Eskee, offers the same elegance and style, with a quilted design and a magnetic slip pocket at the rare.

Tweed Outfits

Karl Lagerfeld significantly contributed to this movement when he incorporated the tweed material with structured shoulder pads to the innovation of Coco Chanel's suit, combining masculinity and femininity while maintaining the sophistication that is characteristic to his designs. It got famous when more and more women were entering the workspaces, the tweed fit represents luxury and is truly a statement in itself. This blazer and skirt set from Label Deepika Nagpal, with a slight slit in the end, is a good alternative to Chanel's tweed outfits, offering chic elegance and style.

Pearl Neckalace

Chanel's jewellery is as remarkable as everything else they have created. Their pearl necklaces embodies elegance and femininity. The pearl neckpiece is a legend in itself and was introduced by the Italian jeweler Fulco di Verdura. This pearl necklace from Jaypore is of a similar aesthetic and can elevate any fit.

Though we don't wholeheartedly support the ballet shoes trend that went berserk this summer, simply because they're not the most comfortable footwear option there is, we do admire the aesthetic of the ballet flats created by House of Chanel. Made from patent leather, the ballets are supposed to be very comfortable, here is one pair from Eridani made up of faux leather.

Watches

This one from Titan Raga has the same luxurious feels and you really don't have to worry about the quality as well when it comes to the iconic brand.
