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.

Hey Alex,
Saw the post. Awesome!!
Thank you 🙂
Great site!
Where would be the cheapest place to buy a Chanel bag if I live in Europe? Here or in the US?
I’m wondering if it’s the same thing for Europeans as for Americans, that Chanel bags are cheaper in Europe because of the sales tax/VAT refund.
Depends on which bag you want, non-iconic or the GST I recommend Heathrow airport (tax-free area). European can’t get VAT return. In the US, there are states that don’t include sales tax. But generally heathrow is your place to be. Which bag are you looking for?
It’s nearly impossible to find knowledgeable people for this topic, but you sound like you know what you’re talking
about! Thanks
Hi there, would love to check if PST XL is a classic range under Chanel?
And as well, compared to GST, is it much heavier or lighter?
Thanks so much inadvance!
PST XL is a classic bag, just like the PST medium size. We are not sure which one is heavier, but from experience we think it’s the GST.
Thanks so much Sassy, just last Question… do you have the product code for PST XL? As well is the PST XL still easily available around in Paris?
thanks!
And Sorry, the price of the PST XL in Paris and Singapore as well.

hi Jor, PST XL is available, but they are rare. And I don’t have the style code unfortunately.

Hi Hester, can you post this bag image in the forum, it’s easier for the community to respond on pictures.
Greetings! I am leaving next weekend to London(2 days), Barcelona (3days), Paris(2 days), then back to London for 10 days. I am looking at buying my first ever Chanel and I am looking at Classic flap, caviar jumbo ghw. I’m not sure how euros and pounds have fluctuated over the past few months… Could you advise where you reckon has the most stock and of best value?
Thanks in advance!! I am sooooo excited!! 🙂
Hi Mizzy, our updated prices: http://abbag.ru/131/chanel-bags-prices/
Jumbo classic flap:
Price EUR: €3,450
Price POUNDS: £2,975
Let us know how things went =)
Can someone advice where might possibly have the most stock? Not sure if I wanna drag it all around.
It would be easier if you could tell us which bag you are looking for.
Hi Alex, am looking for classic jumbo ghw. So between Barcelona, Paris and London, not sure which location may have the most stock? Also, any price diff for lamb skin and caviar skin? Thanks =) ps: pounds seemed to have dropped.. Price diff is quite big between euros n pounds.
There are no huge price difference in lambskin and caviar, I would try every location if you can. But Paris is really big, it takes at least half day to visit all the boutiques, and London is the same. I think London or Barcelona is your best shot, Paris seems most of the times to be sold-out.
