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

Hi, can anyone tell me if all GST bag has Rue Cambon stamp on it or only the one you buy in Paris has it?
TIA
IMO all GST has Rue Cambon stamps, even if you don’t buy in Paris.
Hi babe, can I check with you on the pricing for UK and paris for Chanel Jumbo Classic Cavier skin?
I will be going to UK then to paris by eurostar then back to Uk via eurostar. Thus, in this case I cant claim the VAT for item bought in paris rite?
How much does it cost for the chanel classic jumbo (cavier skin) after VAT in UK?
Thank you for your help in advance.
The jumbo cost €3,400 + VAT. You might not claim VAT return in Paris, but you bought the product in France. So your VAT deducation will be based on the France tax regulation. A good estimation of your VAT return is 12% (including administration fee). That means around €400 off.
Hi babe,
So does that means I cant claim the refund if I were to purchase the bag in paris and claim in UK (London)
How much is it in pounds for the classic jumbo (cavier skin) in london? And how much is the VAT in UK?
Thank you so.many for your prompt reply.
You can claim tax-refund within EU areas, which includes UK. If you buy in Paris, you can still claim tax-refund in UK. Make sure you have all your documents with you. You can around 12% refund. The prices in Euro and Pounds of the Chanel bags are almost similar. around 2,900 pounds for the jumbo caviar.
Hi! Can I check if you know of this bag Chanel Timeless CC Tote? The model no is A67291. Is it a classic and how much does it costs? It seems almost like GST but not so box-shaped. do you have any idea?
This bag is kind of sitting next to the GST. I heard that the normal size is just bit smaller than the GST and bigger than the PST, just like something between.
Price:
Timeless CC Soft Hobo Bag $2,900 USD
Timeless CC Soft Medium Shopper Tote Bag $3,100 USD
How much is the GST now as of 2013?
Hi S, so far no price increase, so the prices are still the same.
Hi, love your site it’s so informative. I am 5’2′” , have a classic black maxi flap bag in ghw. What’s your opinion of wearing it at night out or party?
The maxi black is great on day and night. That’s the advantage of the color black and Chanel not only make you feel the luxury, but it will make you look chic too. At the party… I would avoid going in clubs:
1. They can get messy, coke spilling over a Chanel leather is not recommended.
2. Usually in the club, they take your jacket and bag. I have heard stories that some workers give the jacket to the wrong person.
