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 will be visiting Europe in June but not to London or Italy where the prices are said to be the ‘lowest’. I’ll be headed to Prague, Vienna, Berlin and Frankfurt. I’m thinking of getting the Chanel WOC camellia or quilted lambskin, still undecided. Which city should I get it from?
Thanks!!
I would suggest you to just buy the bag whenever they have your bag in stock. The biggest headache about Chanel is when they don’t have the bag you want. The VAT return is not much difference anyway.
Hi,

Thkss
Hi Agnes, please check the comments section over here:

Hello,
I am thinking of getting a tote for everyday use.
This will be my 1st chanel.
any recommendation?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi Florence,
1st Chanel buyer, I would recommend a classic. Here’s why:
1. They get more expensive each year.
2. They are in consistent demand!
3. They are gorgeous, stylish, matches great to casual and chic.
Let’s start with the GST usually in black and gwh/shw is the classic option. You may want to try the PTT too, PST is hard-to-get/discontinued unfortunately, but the bag is small. TThen we have the cerf tote, another classic (but hard to get nowadays) and btw they are called executive cerf tote now.
Chanel recently introduce a new shopping tote, it’s called: Chanel Biarittz Tote. Some people like it, some don’t, but you need to judge yourself. It’s still new btw, I spotted this year on Chanel site. Here’s a links:

Thank you for your fast response and I really like your website!!
I will be going to Munich, follow by rome and lastly to paris.
Shall check the GST SHW first.
Wondering if the bag itself is already heavy..
Once again, thank you so much for your advise.
It depends on your height. If you are tall and strong, you won’t complain. But if you are shorter, the bag can be quite heavy, especially when you fill it up.
Hi, anyone know chanel timeless cc hobo price at singapore?
I only know in USD, hope this can give you an indication: timeless CC Soft Hobo Bag: $2,900 USD.
Wow, what a fabulous website! I am looking for Chanel Caviar Leather Handbag in black (small, similar to the first bag above with silver hardware) but cannot find it anywhere any ideas?
Hi Caroline, do you mean the bag on the top? The Chanel classic flap bag? Where are you located now btw?
P.S. all are classic version, beside the PST (which is hard-to-find), most boutiques should stock them.
Hi again
Yes, the very first one at the top. I am in NE England.
I have spoken to the London boutiques but they said it was currently unavailable in the UK. I could make arrangements for anywhere in Europe if you knew if was avaialble?
Thanks so much for your help,
That’s really strange because if you read the comments on this page, you will find several Chanel buyers that did bought the medium classic flap in London. London has like 10+ boutiques, did your SA made the effort to call the other stores? I suggest you call the Chanel boutique in Amsterdam + Paris. If you go to Paris, go on Monthday, that’s when the new stock arrive. Let me know how it all went.
Hi
It was the mini version which i was looking for i believe you can get it in 6″ or 8″ versions….?
Hi Caroline, the Chanel classic mini flap is discontinued. The next available size is the medium/large.
If I was to buy a chanel bag in Europe and got a vat refund, wouldn’t I get taxed in the USA when I get back?
