Not only could the two pre-2000s Dooney & Bourke bags I just thrifted be fake — so could the vintage Chanel wallet I’d hoped would become a family heirloom.

THE FIRST STEP was to empty my wallet, ... Chanel small flap bag. $3,900. NEIMAN MARCUS. Chanel classic wallet on chain. $2,500. CHANEL. Chanel classic belt bag. $1,150.

Though the classic Chanel bag in 1955 held a price tag of $220 (which is roughly $2,400 in 2022 dollars), the maxi currently retails for more than $11,700. And that's before tax.
