Named after the chic French coastal town where Coco Chanel opened a boutique in 1913, the tote blends Parisian heritage with laid-back luxury. Originally designed for summer getaways, its relaxed silhouette, bold logo, and roomy interior make it a year-round favorite — perfect for errands, travel, or weekend brunch. As summer approaches, there’s no better time to explore why this elegant beach tote continues to top wish lists. Here's everything you need to know about Chanel Deauville Tote sizes, prices, and how each version looks in real life.

Part 2   📏 Chanel Deauville Tote Sizes

 

(Note: Since the Spring/Summer 2012 season, the Chanel Deauville totebeach bag series has been introduced and updated every year. The sizes for different color variations are not fixed. Only the small and large sizes are commonly seen.) 

So which size is perfect for you?

Choosing the right Deauville Tote really comes down to how you plan to use it. If you're looking for an everyday bag that fits your essentials without feeling oversized, the small or medium sizes are ideal. If you're more of a carry-it-all type or want something that doubles as a travel or beach bag, the large size offers generous space for everything from a laptop to a light jacket or a towel. One thing to keep in mind: when fully loaded, especially in the larger sizes, the Deauville can get pretty heavy — so consider what you’ll actually be carrying day-to-day. 

3 How Much Does a Chanel Deauville Tote Cost?

When the Chanel Deauville Tote was first released in 2012, it retailed for around $2600 (€2300) - a reasonable entry point for a spacious, logo-heavy Chanel bag.Over the years, the price of the Deauville has steadily increased — in line with Chanel’s overall pricing strategy — making it a smart piece to invest in, especially on the secondhand market.

Today, brand-new versions can run anywhere from ......... depending on size and material — a clear sign of the tote’s lasting appeal. Fortunately, the secondhand market offers a more accessible  way to shop this style. Many Deauville Totes retain or even exceed their original price on the resale market, especially early editions or those in excellent condition. For example, a well-kept 2012 medium Deauville can now list for upwards of $5000 (€4400). That kind of demand speaks not only to the bag’s timeless design but also to its value as a pre-loved investment piece.

Part 4: How to Buy a Secondhand Chanel Deauville Tote Smartly

Buying a pre-owned Chanel Deauville Tote can be a great way to own this iconic bag at a better price — but it’s important to shop carefully. Here are some key tips to help you buy smartly:

• Check the handles: Top handles can darken or soften with wear. Look for any signs of damage or heavy use.

• Inspect the corners: Canvas bags often show scuffs on the edges, so check these areas closely.
