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.

Hello,
I’m from Malaysia and thinking to buy Chanel PST. I heard Chanel Malaysia no longer carry this bag? Is it through? If still carry, is it would be in the same price?
Hi Ayesha, I would like to know when you heard this and from who. Because as far as my knowledge, the PST ‘was’ discontinued, but it’s now back. And there is a price increase.
Hi Alex,
Heard it from a friend who want to buy it last time.
Last week I went to Chanel KLCC and there are PST. Black GHW, Nude and Dark Grey SHW. The price increased to RM6620. According to SA, the bag just came back on this season. Once all stock gone, there will be no restock. That’s what she said to me.
Btw, Black PST GHW is so lovely. Look suitable for tall girl like me. 😉
Hi Ayesha, thanks for sharing the info. We will add that to our article. I like the black PST in GHW, I think it will look better than the dark grey. Btw, our new Chanel bag prices can be found here: http://abbag.ru/131/chanel-bags-prices/
Just went down to the store…no more black GHW :'( Only dark grey and brown…i would consider nude but the brown not sth i would settle for *sigh*
Hi there,
I am currently saving up to buy a White 2.55 GHW Jumbo Caviar by Dec 2013. It has been a long life dream (since high school!) to get a 2.55. I’m from Brunei dealing w someone to get it from Paris. Is it cheaper to get it from Paris than UK/USA? Also, what are the odds of getting my hands on a White 2.55? Stores in Paris?
Thanks!
I think the odds are great, because Paris has a lot of boutiques. It’s certainly cheaper to get in Paris than USA, and if you can get the tax-refund, the better. There is not much different between EU and UK prices. What do you think about the black?
That is really good news! I have an obsession w white items even tho I am quite dark hoho.. Plus, I have a black GST GHW already. This white flap is for formal occasions 🙂
I will my contact the person in Paris then! Thank you so much!
Hi Nur, I wouldn’t go for black either, but beige is a popular color too. Pink and red are rare. let us know what you can find in Paris.
Yesterday chanel cerf price was 1790euro in Paris.
HI Jane, do you know if this was the small one or the large one? Thanks for sharing the information with us, we added it to: http://abbag.ru/131/chanel-bags-prices/
for an update, medium/large flap in Australia $5290 since 1st feb 2012 and the price remain the same today.
Hi guys, thanks for all the information. I’ll be heading to Europe in 2 weeks time and I’ll be going to Paris, Florence and Rome. I want to get the pre fall collection metallic calfskin classic flap. Does anyone know if it’s available in stores yet? The cost in euros? And which location would be my best bet of acquiring one?
Many thanks 🙂
Hi Bet, Paris has the most boutique, I think your best shot will be there. But there is no best location, you should buy whenever you find it.
I am not sure about the metallic classic flap, but it should be the same price as here:

Hi. I’m from Malaysia and I’m wondering whether its cheaper to buy the classic flap from Australia or US? Taking into account that of the increase in the dollar and decrease in the Aussie dollar. Thanks!!
Hi Bobo, if you would purchase the GST right now:
$2,900 USD => 3,679 SGD
$3,300 AUD => 4193 SGD
This is one example that counts for all Chanel bags.
