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.

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.

Anyway, I just bought Jumbo size in black caviar skin with GHW
from Florence Italy on 4 May 2013
The price still the same 3,450€ with 14% tax refund
🙂
Hi Junie, generally people can get 12% in Italy, but you really got a good bargain with 14%. Congratulatoin with your new bag (btw heard that the caviar jumbo is hard to get). Why did you actually pick the GHW and not the SHW, just curious =P
Hi Sassy
Very informative sharing in your forum.
I bought a Chanel Classic flap Jumbo in Black (caviar) @ 3450 EUR end April 2013 in Milan. In Singapore this will costs SGD$7,250
Not easy to get Black in caviar in Milan. Always out of stock.
I also bought a classic WOC (caviar) @ 1200 EUR.
This is not available in Singapore.
I enjoyed 14% VAT Refund.
Hi SW Lim, I know I know, black caviar are hard to get. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!
Thanks Sassy. It is amazing to find such informative website!
I need your help in choosing my first Chanel bag.
I want an everyday use bag, preferring carrying it in hand than over on shoulder, though it is quite okay for me. Also I am quite short:( (160cm), so I love small bags.
I am hesitatig with medium flap bag and PTT.
The upside for PTT is that it seems fitting my need, carrying on hand, not too big, with nice price. But I have a question is it a popular bag? Seems that most people love PST. Also is PTT aviable now, if I buy it it Paris?
The upside for flap bag is….it is SOOO Clasical. Also very elegance. I think I should have a bag like that.
So …….
Need your professional advice.
Thanks!
Hi Sassy,
So I went to Chanel in Paris today and prices are still the same for the WOC 1200€ and medium timeless 3100 €·
I have not asked for the other sizes but I guess there’s no change for now.
Hi Carooooo!!!! Thank you so much. Your information is going to set a relief to a lot of Chanel fans over here! I have heard several times that Chanel has increase prices on the comment section, but verified twice that it’s untrue, so this time I just waited, but had some doubts because it seems strange that Chanel did nothing for so long. Thank you so much for helping me/us out. And did you bought any bag today? Or spotted a favorite one?
btw did you also spotted the prices of the chanel classic flaps?
You’re very welcome.
I bought my dream bag for years : a classic medium flap ( black caviar and silver chain) and the price is still 3100€ here. It was kind of difficult to find it as many stores were out of stock today.
Thanks again for you website so full of information!
Hi Caro and Sassy
Sorry for butting in but am really hoping you could both assist me with the price. There are 2 bags for sale Chanel medium caviar $4800US and jumbo caviar $5200. Is that the correct price or will I be overpaying? Thanks heaps!!
Hi, I am interest of buying the rectangular mini flap but I not sure how much will it cost in CAD dollars. Does any one know the price for it?
Thanks!
Hi Bachfifi are you talking about the Chanel mini flap? or the reissue?
Hi Caro Sassy
Am hoping you could both assist me. There are 2 chanel caviar double flap for sale $4800US for medium and $5200US for jumbo. Is that the correct price or will I be overpaying? Many thanks!!
Hi Paige, where did you spotted the Chanel medium and jumbo for that price?
Hi Caro, Paris has so many boutiques, I can’t really understand why they are out-of-stock a lot of times. They should really do something about that. Thanks again!
p.s. love the classic medium flap black shw.
Hi i just got back from the uk and bought a classic jumbo flap in beige caviar and its 2975pounds 🙂 tax refund is about 400 pounds
Thanks for that Stardust! Wow it’s so much cheaper to buy in the UK! Converted to Australian dollars it is approx $4370 excluding tax refund. From memory I saw one in the Chanel boutique for $5800. Damn if only I have friends and family in the UK who can buy and send them over!! 🙁
Hi Paige, it does not work like that. Your friend who is living in UK must not be an EU citizen, or else he will not get the tax refund.
Hi !
I have a question. Since your in chanel in paris now do you happen to know if they still have these two bags medallion tote bag PST ? I was informed that it’s been discontinued. ..
Hi,

http://abbag.ru/131/chanel-lambskin-or-caviar/
Which color are you going to buy?
Do you know the current price in London? My friend is visiting London next month, so I was thinking if I was to get it in london how much is the difference. So far I know e price in singapore is SGD3900.
Recently, we received an email from someone who bought the GST in London: 1,550 GBP
p.s. better call a Chanel boutique to check if they have your style in stock. Which color and hardware you prefer?
I intend to get black cavier in golden hardware, but I heard frm my friend there only left sliver hardware in e market.
Hi,
I just saw a love me tender tote bag, just wondering if its available in Europe now?
Is that a Chanel bag? Do you have any more information about it’s look?
Hi Sassy.bag
I apologise for butting in this comment as I do no know where to click to ask a question so just clicked on the reply button of someone else’s question.
I am really hoping you could assist me the price that you have above the the Chanel medium US $4400 is that the current price? I am looking at a bag on Malleries.com and the seller is selling it for $4800. Am I being ripped off? Thanks heaps for your help!!
Hi Paige, no recommendation to buy Chanel online. I lookup a lot of pictures on the internet, because I need to do research before writing. I often visit Malleries and saw a lot of Chanel bags that trigger my doubts whether it is authentic. First of all, yes, you’re overpaying. Paige where are you from? Maybe I can better assist you.
Hi Sassy thanks so much for replying. I almost bought the Chanel double flap medium caviar in beige until the seller listed the same one in jumbo and I couldn’t decide which size to buy so was googling on opinions and came across your page. Phew!! Lucky me!! So does boutiques in the US sell the medium for $4400US and jumbo for $4900US? I’m from Australia 🙂
I have a friend living in Australia, it’s pretty far traveling to Europe. I wouldn’t bet $4k on the internet to be honest, but if it was a solid company, I might give it a try. If you buy from individuals or unknown companies who has no reputation, and they sent you a bag either damage or fake, it’s difficult to resolve and will give you a couple of sleepless nights.
btw how many hours traveling from Australia to US?
