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.

I’m from Germany and in the last 3 days I called every Chanel shop in Germany because I really want a Classic medium Flap Bag in black with caviar leather and GHW!
None of the shops has it at the moment what really freaks me out!
But what I wanted to say is, they told me the price is still 3100€!!
I hope I’ll get the bag soon but don’t think that it will be available in the next week so ill have to wait but it’s worth it! 🙂
Yes, no price increase yet! Schadi!!! Hearing that from YOU, I am really feeling you. Maybe you want to drop by Amsterdam, it’s not very far away. Try to call Amsterdam if they have in stock.
p.s. which day did you called them?
🙂 I just thought it would be good to share this news!
Oh that’s a great idea! Thank you so much! I’ll call tomorrow!
Oh it was Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and I also went to the local store on Friday but nothing all sold out 🙁 ! I hope they will restock as soon as possible!
Thanks for your answer! 🙂
hi Schadi, thanks for your update!!, in which city in Germany do you actually live?
I’m from Frankfurt! Actually I went to the Chanel store like a year ago too and seems like I’m not lucky in getting this bag everytime I go there it’s sold out..
I hope it will change, is it normal that the caviar leather is sold out most of the time?
xx
Hi Schadi, I do not know why, but many people tell me they can’t find caviar in Europe. They are sold out/limited everywhere. I just heard someone got a caviar bag in London, but you wouldn’t travel that far would you?
I think you have no luck, did you ask them to reserve the bag for you, next time they have in stock?
Hey!
I’d love to, but I don’t think I could travel there the next days :/
I’ll be in Italy in two month but I hope that I don’t have to wait so long!
I can’t believe that there won’t be a restock for so long
Yes! They told me they would call be as soon as they get the bag!
I will update!
Good new Schadi, it’s frustrating to keep visiting the boutique and ending up disappointed. Better have them call you. I am crossing my fingers for you.
OMG!! Yesterday I got a call from the local chanel store that they got the bag! A men working there really helped us and called everytime they got new bags and yesterday only one came and I got it! Finally! My dream bag!
I’m so happy and I payed 3100€ so no price increase yet!
Thank you for all the helpful informations!! 🙂
FINALLY!!! Congratulation. I am so happy for you because you have waited so long and you deserve it! Schadi can you share the bag on our forums? Would love to see it.
Hi there, how much is the price difference between a medium lambskin and caviar?
I remember the prices is almost identical. but Caviar is harder to get, but is more durable. Lambskin is really chic, love it, but can get easily scratched. Ouch!! Which one do you want?
Hi! I initially wanted the Lambskin in GHW, but the store only had the SHW. I ended up purchasing it anyway 🙂
You need to be careful with the lambskin. But it’s gorgeous and feel chic. Is it an everyday bag?
Nope! It will be for special occasions only;)

Hi,
My friend just bought two jumbo single flap bags from Paris store and it only costs EURO 1,950 each. Does it mean they continue the single flap range now? Why there is a huge gap between the single flap double flap bags? She bought the lamb skin series. Hope u can check it out and clear my doubts. Thanks 🙂
Hi Christine, did you said ‘just’?
The single flap is discontinued, she couldn’t have bought it from the Chanel store right? And the price of the jumbo single flap seems a bit too low. Are you sure she didn’t bought the easy flap?

Can you check this link and reply me, because I am so curious!!!
Dear all, I have just called.the chanel shop in london to.check on the pricing for chanel jumbo classic flap bag and they mentioned it is 3975 pounds now. is it correct?
Please advise.
The jumbo is retailing right now for 2,900 GBP. If they increase the price by 3,975 GBP, then my world would fall apart. That’s 1/3 + of the normal price. I hope it’s not true. We will check it out ltr on.
I was shocked too.. I called several of the shops and they asked me ur jumbo is large or ex large? It really makes me puzzled if they know their bags. Perhaps thats why there is a wrong pricing. Btw, sassy can u do me a favour and provide me with some pics of chanel classic jumbo flap outer pic and inner pic? As I am.askong my friend who is headong to UK to help me buy. As he is a guy he wants to me to show him more pics in case he buy wrongly. Hope you can help me. Thanks sassy!
Hi Jo, seriously!!!!
There are so many bag types that it can confuse anyone, maybe the SA is new, that’s why she gave you the wrong information. Or she is mentioning the NEW bag that is seasonal. But jumbo large???!!! or the EX LARGE?? Never heard of that.
The Chanel classic flap are in three sizes:
1. Chanel medium/large classic flap
2. Chanel jumbo classic flap
3. Chanel maxi classic flap
Jo, I think this will going to help you the BEST:
1. print this image out:
http://abbag.ru/131/what-is-the-difference-between-chanel-classic-flap-bag-and-chanel-classic-2-55-reissue/
It gives detailed information that you are looking for the Chanel classic flap
1. The double CC lock on the front.
2. Leather interwoven links (the chain)
3. And this: the jumbo is a DOUBLE FLAP
More, give your friend the size of the jumbo: 12 x 8 x 3 in inches
He can’t go wrong with this one, because the SA will be matching the sizes and the look of the bag to get you the right one.
If your friend is not familiar with Chanel bag, even with images from the inside and outside will only confuse him.
Lastly, make sure he knows that you want… lambskin or caviar, color of the chains and the color of the bag!
Thank you babe! I called UK london harrods yesterday and they told me its out of stock. Where do u tink in london will have a better chance in getting jumbo classic flap(Cavier skin with silver chan)? I am so upset that it is sold out… =(
Hi Jo, I just heard they have a lot of caviar in stock in London. More than enough!
Thats weird. I kept calling them and they told me no stock for jumbo classic flap (cavier) and they are not able to reserve. I am so devasted. =( I have been wanting the bag since 2007… =(
I really hope that they have plenty of stock. Thanks sassy.
Here are two tips that I just received:
1. Someone spotted in Paris the medium classic flap in caviar gwh, they still have stock.
2. Someone spotted the caviar chanel bag in London Old Bond street
hope this helps.
Just contribute some info here, I saw medium caviar in rue cambon paris and jumbo caviar with SHW at selfriges London.
Great information, thanks for the sharing Angie. A lot of people have been hunting for the caviar but can’t find it!
Could you give the price for Chanel Timeless Classic Double Flap Jumbo(12″)Black Caviar Silver Chain in Pound (GBP)
I think you mean the Chanel classic double flap in black and shw. The jumbo cost in Europe €3,450 right now, the price between UK and Europe are not much difference, so it cost around: 2,950 GBP
