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.

Hye im intended to visit europe this june… N really interested to buy a pst? Is it really discountinue? N can i get the latest price of pst in europe n the fax refund :)) tq
Hi Elvira, you can find the prices above. The PST seems to be ‘hard to get’. According to SA that they get no stock anymore. But I think they are still available, but in limited boutiques. Just like the cambon, so you need to get lucky. You will get tax-refund around 10 14%, depending on which country you will in. But generally you will get more tax-refund in Italy than Paris, becoz of the higher VAT.
Hi there, I will be going on a Europe tour trip on May 23rd and will be visiting Paris for a couple of days and would like to purchase my very 1st Chanel bag from prais france! =) I”m very curious to know how much will a chanel wallet on chain cost in paris so I can bring enough money with me to buy it? Lamb or caviar is fine. Also, how much would a Chanel Classic Medium Flap Bag cost? I’m from canada and would the VAT tax applys for canadians? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and answering my questions and hope to hear from you soon!

Price Chanel medium flap: €3,100 EUR.
Oh that’s so great to hear and I’m super excited!!
One more question though, is it true if you buy any Chanel bags in Paris there is some sort of stamp or embossment in the bag saying you bought it at the flagship store in paris? Or is that not true?
Thanks for your help!
I bought a bag in Chanel jumbo in Paris. The SA didn’t stamp anything in or outside of my bag. Nor did I see any unusual marks that says I bought in Paris.
Hi!
I´m planning to buy a Chanel Grand Shopping tote with gold hardware in London April 2. this year.
Is the price the same wether I buy it with gold hardware or silver?
LOVE this site, btw!
Hugs!
Price with Ghw and Shw is the same. But I am not sure if Chanel will increase price this year, and probably they will.
Thank you so much for answering my question and for answer it so fast! Hopefully they will not increase their prices before may then or hopefully NEVER, haha 🙂 Im so exited to by my newfound chanel-love!!
and LOVE your blog, i can look at it for hours!
FYI, I just received a comment from someone who bought a Chanel jumbo in London for 2,750 pounds yesterday. That’s the normal price.
recently bought the medium classic flap (2 weeks ago) and its still 4,200. Asked my SA whether she’s heard about any price increases yet and she said no yet but she does expect a price increase soon.
Thanks for sharing this to the community Annie.
