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.
Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bags
Some ‘Must Know’ About Chanel Reissue 2.55

Chanel reissue have a special locker, it’s called the mademoisselle locker and it represent Coco that she have never been married.

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 jus bought GST in paris and its 1790€ inclusive tax!
Hi Bdr08, congratulations!! is a GST normal or GST XL? And when did you bought your bag?
Hi.. I bought it on 7th March and its the GST normal. Maybe you would like to update. FYI in United Arab Emirate (UAE)… for those who might consider to buy Jumbo Classic Flap, its selling for 18,630AED..
I bought the black caviar with Silver HW. Looked for it in Paris and Frankfurt but its out of stock! Worst was when I got to know about their 1 bag policy per passport for 2 mths??? Is this within Paris only or across Eu?
Finally after 2 week of wait I got a call from Dubai Chanel. They had the stock for jumbo black caviar in Silver HW.. Upon payment, I saw the Maxi in GOLD HW. I been thinking abt the GOLD HW all day today! I am not a GOLD person actually but I the black caviar really stands out w Gold chain!…Its what I feel Chanel is known for its signature gold chain? I really hope they going to receive the stock for the gold hw pretty soon.. I am contemplating to change mine.. U think its overdress to be in jeans n w chanel Classic black flap w Gold HW? Opinion plsss..
That’s exactly what’s amazing about the Chanel classic flaps in ‘black’. It fits almost ANY styles, including in JEANS. I did an interview with a Nicole Chau, a blogger, and asked her what styles to combine with the Chanel in black. You can read more here:

Black matches almost everything. The gold only makes the classic flap perfect, the color makes it stand out. and like what you said, it’s the feel that Chanel is known. Some people like SHW because the color is neutral in (combination with black). You want the jumbo right? But you are not going to buy the maxi? I hope your bag will arrive soon!
P.S. the policy in Paris was already confirmed. I think it’s only in Paris, never heard before in other EU countries. But Paris attract a lot of tourist, Sometimes a few customers can empty the whole stock.
FYI.. I went to 3 Chanel ard Rue the Cambon, where I was told they do not have the stock for Jumbo Black Caviar Classic Flap. It was a short trip I did not have the chance to try my across the river.:(
Thanks for sharing this Bdr08, was it a GHW or SHW?

Hi,

Thank you!
Hi, i am going to paris this march 26 and i am planning to buy a Chanel GST caviar bag do you have an idea if how much is its price right now? As well as the address of the nearest chanel store 🙂 thank you
We haven’t seen any price increase yet, so the GST is still priced at €1,750. You might want to try-out Chanel boutique in: 31, rue Cambon, 75001 Paris. It’s surrounded with other gorgeous shops and is nearby Champs Elysées.
Hi,
I’m going to San diego next month ( end of April) and I wanna buy a Chanel Classic Double Flap bag, carvior, jumbo with Gold HW. Could you please give me some advices, like how much is it for now, total price for it? And can i get any discount or tax refund there? Should I ask my friend to check it for me first ( have it ever been out of stock)? Thank you for your help!!
I guess you are going from EU or Asia to San diego right?
We haven’t heard any price increase yet, so the jumbo classic flap is now around $4,800 USD. US, unlike EU have ‘sales tax’. The sales tax are used to pay for the roads, buses, trains, police… There’s no VAT(Value added tax like EU) return. The only spot you can buy tax-free goods are at the airport.
However, you can get 10 11% in Macy’s if can show you are a tourist. But I don’t think they have your bag in stock.
San diego doesn’t seem to have Chanel boutiques, but two retail stores sells Chanel bags:
