Chanel have been increasing price for a time now. Why? I don’t know, but some say that Chanel wants their classic to sit next to the Hermes bag. Other say that it a strategic approach, increase prices and more people will want to buy it. Whatever reason it is, they have done it. We love Chanel more and more, and the further to go in prices, the more we want to buy them.
Chanel have literally doubled their prices in less than four years. If you bought a Chanel bag in 2008/2009, then you might conclude that Chanel prices as gone wild. If you are new to Chanel, you might think that
the prices are normal, but they are not. They are crazy!
Chanel Classic Medium Flap Bag (also known as medium/large)
Some ‘Must Know’ About Chanel Medium Flap
Chanel have discontinued two beautiful Chanel bags. The first one is the Chanel East West Flap and the second one is the Chanel small flap. The Chanel E/W flap is actually cheaper than the medium flap, but they were for most part identical. It was an excellent substitute Chanel bag for girls who can’t afford the expensive medium flap bags.
Chanel Classic Jumbo Flap Bag
Some ‘Must Know’ About Chanel Jumbo Flap
Chanel Jumbo Flap used to have a single flap. I love the single flap, but Chanel decided to discontinue and change it to double flap. I have to admit, with the double flap you can better organize your items. There is a downside, the single flap is much lighter than the double flap. I have tried the double flap a few times and my shoulder hurt because it’s a bit too heavy. Maybe I am used to the single flap, because most girls who purchase the jumbo for the first time with double flap doesn’t seem to have any problem with it.
Chanel Classic Maxi Flap Bag
Some ‘Must Know’ About Chanel Maxi Flap
Chanel introduced the Maxi after they have discontinued the small flap. Maybe the future trend is that girls love bigger bags than smaller ones. The Chanel Maxi Flap have been introduced since 2009.
Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bags
Some ‘Must Know’ About Chanel Reissue 2.55

Chanel reissue have a special locker, it’s called the mademoisselle locker and it represent Coco that she have never been married.

When Is The Next Price Increase?
What you say? Chanel never announced the next price increase. I wish they could, then lots of girls would run into their stores just before they start to increase. But sometimes when you visit a Chanel boutique a bit too often, the SA might leak some free information out.
From a trusted source, the next price increase will be in December or the first of February. I am not suprised, because it is almost a year since the last price increase in February 2012. Price will increase for the flap bag around $600.
Chanel Price Increase Frequency
Chanel usually increase prices twice a year, sometimes one and sometimes even three. This year so far we have one. They usually increase in the 1st of February, around June and December. So get ready if you decide to buy a bag. I know some friends who figure out that Chanel have increase price when they are in a Chanel boutique, ready to buy with creditcard on hand.
Chanel New Price Expectation 2013
Curious about what Chanel will do in 2013? The question is not ‘will Chanel increase price’, but how much they will increase and when they will increase. We have some expectations and also some prices based on some leaked information of SA. The calculation can’t get too much wrong.

My sis is going next month to buy the gst and the jumbo flap bag in uk. . But am confuse how many sizes does the gst have. ..anyone can advise me..first time buying chanel bag
Hay Blur, thanks for registering on the forum. Hope you like it. Chanel has classic shopping totes available:
1. PST (petite shopping tote)
2. GST (grand shopping tote)
3. GST XL (grand shopping tote XL)
4. The new classic Biarittz Tote small
5. The new classic Biaritzz Tote in Large
I have already given you the GST XL price. You can find more information about the Biarittz Tote over here:

Prices are in the comments (if you read the comments, there’s a secret about buying the tiole bag much cheaper in Heathrow)
No, there’s actually one more size larger than the GST, it’s called the GST XL (Grand shopping tote XL). Much larger and endless space. If I am not wrong, the bag was introduced in 2010 and right now priced at: €2,100 EURO
went to chanel in Florence today looking for the classic flap jumbo size in caviar and shw, but the SA said classic design are out of stock very fast! they had the jumbo classic lambskin in ghw, cost 3450 euro.. I will be trying my luck in Milan!
I also heard especially the caviar are out very quicky in EU. In Paris and London you can only find lambskin right now. Someone just posted that on the site a few days ago. I am crossing my finger for you, PS: you might want to call the boutique in Milan first. I thought they have only one there.
Please post here again when you find the jumbo caviar and how much it is, i am going to europe in june and am looking forward to buying a chanel jumbo or maxi 🙂
thx
I just bought the jumbo classic flap caviar with shw for 3450 euro at Milan! vat refund is 483 euro!
my first chanel ^^
FYI I emailed the Milan store to reserve, I’m a very lucky girl!
Way to gooo girl!!! I love the jumbo classic. And O.M.G., do you have any idea how many people where looking for the caviar. €3.000 EUR is a bargain. Where u from btw?
Singapore! I did my research before coming over, it was selling in sg for around sgd7k.. I save sgd 2k!
That’s amazing, well done. With that cash you can reward yourself with a cute Chanel long wallet that matches perfectly with your Chanel jumbo flap bag. BTW which color did you pick? Black with GHW?
Hey thats awesome! where in milan did you get the bag from?
are the outlets in florence any good?
Hi Stephk 483 is 14% vat, you mean you got back your refund $? I heard is 10-14%.
Am going Paris and appreciate if you provide some information so I could be as lucky as you. 🙂
hi, can i know which email address?
n how u ask them reserve for u tru email?
im thinking to get a boy chanel…
I read on this website itself that you can get higher VAT back if you buy from Italy.
I find this website very useful in calculating my purchases too http://www.globalblue.com/customer-services/tax-free-shopping/refund-calculator/
The email address for Milan chanel (there is only one!)is boutique.milano@chanel-corp.com .. I’m not too sure if I can post the name of the lovely SA who so kindly reserved the bag for me … I e-mailed them to tell them I would be visiting the store on which date and which size/colour/model I was looking for.
I did not go to any outlets in Florence unfortunately =(
Hi StepHK, I think it is so great that SA can reserve bags. I know how disappointment feel, especially when you have traveled for hours. Thanks for sharing the email. And btw I don’t think they have the iconics in outlets. Let me know when u got the bag =)
can i know they take how many days to reply ur email?
I going to euro next month…Chanel in London or Paris which place cheaper?
Depends also on your currency, where are you from?
HELP!!
I’m planning a trip to Italy this June and would like to purchase my first Chanel bag. I’m really torn between GST and Cerf Tote. I had my eyes first set on GST since it is so classic. But then I heard that GST is quite heavy and that the metal strap may not be long enough under lays of cloth during winter. Then I saw the cert tote and really like it as well but I’m not sure if it’s classic enough. What I’m looking for in a bag is that there’s room to put quite a lot of stuff and is easy to carry around. So just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on which bag to get, GST or Cert tote?
Yes ofcourse, let me make your choice even more difficult. Chanel has just announced a new classic tote bag.
See here: http://abbag.ru/131/must-haves-23-the-new-classic-chanel-large-shopping-bag-in-tiole
It’s actually comparable to the GST, but the design is different. Don’t get confused about the color, it’s actually black, but the reflection of the light makes it look like gray.
The GST is a bit heavier and the strap might be a bit short, but it’s very comfy especially when you carry many things. The cerf tote was released in 2005 as one of Chanel’s classic tote all purpose bags. Yes it’s a classic.
More opinion from other peepz are really appreciated =D
The best tote is the Cambon tote. Durable, you can fit alot of items in it. I don’t think they make it anymore. I would try a reputable consignment shop.
Excellent advice =D
Hey, just wanted to ask 2 things:
1st) Does theses prices are with taxes or not? I live in Greece and I’m interested in GST, so I wanted to know if the price above is what I’m going to pay or not?
2nd) Where can I find the prices for the Chanel wallets?
Thanks so much!
Is included, because VAT refund depend entirely on the country you are in. Italy & the Netherlands has 21% VAT, while in Paris you have only 19% VAT.
Which Chanel wallet are you specific looking for, maybe I or other can help.
Ok, thank you!
I am interested in the Chanel Classic lambskin wallet. And I want to know the exact price, so I can compare it to Sara Wallet, by LV. I’m in between those two…
I only know that the price was $8,000 HKD when I was there, approximately $1,000 USD. So it should be around $1,100 right now.
Hi ladies, I was going around bag shops in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and saw a GST in gold hardware. It was bought in Amsterdam and the shop paid like Euro 2,255 for it. I forgot to look at the dates but maybe it’s time to update the prices as well?
That’s strange, because someone bought a Chanel GST in London a few days ago and the price was the same as listed above. And Chanel hasn’t announced any price increase yet. I am going to do a check soon. Thanks for letting me know. =D
