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.

Some ‘Must Know’ About Chanel Reissue 2.55

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.

Hi,
I really like the Chanel Petite Timeless Tote, but can’t find it anywhere in States. Does anyone know where I can buy this particular bag.
Thanks!
The Chanel petite timeless tote is really limited right now. Only a couple of boutique sells them, you really need to get lucky to find one. The same for PST, but one of readers has spotted the PST in Takashimaya Chanel boutique a couple days ago. You might want to give them a call if you really want the bag.
Thank you so much for the info! I will definitely give them a ring, thanks again!
I called Chanel up and was told that PST has been discontinued, and WOC is currently available in camellia pink only at Suria KLCC. Arghhh, didn’t see that coming. Rep suggested I get another bag in canvas instead, I couldn’t make out what the bag’s called, something like biary? My question is, is this similarly priced canvas bag a good alternative to WOC/PST? Or should I settle on the Camellia? After a bit of research I was originally planning on getting a black classic PST/WOC for my girl’s birthday and this is gonna be her first Chanel. Ladies, any advice?
The Chanel rep didn’t seem to have the patience to answer my amateurish questions, so after sensing that her patience was wearing thin I quickly wrapped up the call by saying I’d drop by the boutique soon. Now I’m at a loss and could really use some advice…
Hi SH, One of our readers spotted the PST in Takashimaya Chanel boutique. Here’s her comment:
Hi Nat! I saw the PST in Takashimaya Chanel boutique? The SA said its limited pcs! Go check it out! Jassie.
The PST are really limited and only available in certain countries.
Here’s my advice SH, buy the bag you love, don’t settle less. Getting the bag you like even if you need to pay a bit more is better than carrying a bag you don’t love. You might want to call other boutiques and ask.
Btw, the biary bag what the SA was talking about should be the new shopping tote. It’s called Biarittz Tote. Here’s a link:

Thank you so much for all the info/links!
After three visits on three days in a row, I finally got hold of a caviar WOC with gold hardware @ MYR5,660, which just arrived in boutique today. Third time’s the charm? Haha. Was told that Monday is usually their stock replenishment day at Chanel Suria KLCC. 🙂
hahaha, congratulation SH. You got a fresh-made Chanel caviar WOC. Which one is it btw, the halfmoon? Camella? Lipstick?
Thanks! 🙂
As I wanted only black so I went for the black quilted WOC in caviar. SA showed me another variation with silver hardware but the caviar texture felt a bit grainy. SA recommended the polished one with gold hardware so I took it. Only the black quilted WOC in lambskin is classic and all other variations/colours including the one I bought are seasonal, I suppose?
Hi SH, no I don’t think so. I think the one you have, black and caviar is also a classic. If it’s seasonal, then it will not available anymore fall/winter. But that’s not the case because I have heard about the quilted WOC in black and caviar before. I really love your bag (quilted in caviar/lambskin) and the camella is also my favorite.
Hi!
