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 2.55 handbags is been re-made exactly as Coco Chanel have made them decades ago. When you buy the reissue, the bag look like being worn. This is the vintage style. Chanel reissue have a special locker, it’s called the mademoisselle locker and it represent Coco that she have never been married. The 2.55 stands for the release date of the bag, which is February 1955.

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.

Came across your website this morning, OMG its a God send !
I have been hunting for Chanel Cambon bag for a long time. Was in Italy last year and the SA there told me it’s been discontinued but SA in Paris told me it’s out of stock. I ended up buying a GST instead. Have since asked 3 friends who travelled to Europe to get this bag for me but no luck 🙁 Do you know the status of this bag ? Thanks.
Status, you mean the availability right? This bag has been discontinued for a long time. Weird that some SA says it’s discontinued and others out-of-stock. Seems like they are not all equally informed. But discontinued, you might want to look at the PST, was discontinued for a while, but it’s back and it’s hot.
I have a friend who is in stuggart. I’m wondering if there any chanel nearby this place as when I check the chanel website i don’t see any chanel at stuggart. Where is the nearest he can go as I’m not really familiar with this place.
By the way, he will only be coming back to Singapore only in aug. so if he happened to see the bag that I want should I ask him to buy or wait till he coming back…. I’m afraid by the time he coming back, they may not have what I want and if he buy too early, can we still claim the vat.
Please advise
Generally all purchases needs to apply for tax-refund within three months. Nearest place he needs to to is frankfurt or Munich.
Hello, is it true that they are not Doing The petite shopper anymore?? I am trying to find in europe now!!! Thanks!!
You mean the PST right? The Chanel petite shopping tote, please check the image above.
The PST is now spotted everywhere, last seen in Nice inFrance.
Dear sassy, u mean that the petite shopping tote is now available? Is there size for the pst like the GST that has several sizes? Very happy to hear this news thanks a lot sassy and everybody
I started hearing that the PST was available in Texas and yesterday got informed that it’s also available in Nice in France and other countries. So it’s back. There is a PST XL, which is not wider, but longer. I am not sure if the PST XL is back, because it’s pretty rare.
Are you looking for the PST or the PST XL?
Oh really, so the pst is not discontinued? I am more interested in the Pst, do u know where i can find it I am going in august to paris for a weekend just to get it? How much the price has increased for the pst xl, how much does it cost now??? thaaaaaank uuuuuuu 😉
It was, it was!! but not anymore. They brought the sexy back and I think they have upgraded the bag. The normal size is PST normal €1,390 and the PST XL is €1,790, we got the information from our members. spotted in Paris, Nice and Berlin. I am not sure where exactly you can find the bag. Maybe you can ask the community, but it’s in Paris. Shopper assistant might be able to call other stores for you too.
P.s. promise me to show me the new PST if you bought it.
Hi,
It’s in Paris too! Just saw it today Avenue Montaigne in shw and ghw..
The price here is 1390 €
Wow, that’s much cheaper! Amazing, the PST is back in shw and ghw. Thanks Caro for sharing. Love it!
Im Looking for The PST!!!! In glad to hear This news, because a lady in chanel london told me it was discontinued!!! Im going to berlin, amsterdam And Paris And i hope to find it!!! Thanks
Nice, don’t forget Nice! Just below Paris =). Keep us informed.
Hi Sassy,
I love both GST and PST. I would love to have one in my collection. Which one do you think it’s worth to buy it? Please kindly advice. Thank you.
PST was out for a while and the crowd went wild. Everyone was trying to find the PST and all the SA were telling that it was discontinued, which drove us crazy. But the PST is bag, I am not sure for how long. But I will recommend PST, Then again you need to love small bags. I mean GST is larger right?
hi,
i was wondering if the reissue camera bag was still available? And if you knew in which size and the prices?
thanks so much in advance!
I saw the camera bag years ago, I thought it was discontinued. But you can still find in some other online stores or consignment stores if you are lucky. The size for the medium was 11″ x 7″ x 3.5″ (w x h x d), price was around $2,000 USD
Ooh good to know that the PST is back but what about the PTT, any news on that?
I haven’t heard about the PTT for a while. In europe, the beige was discontinued last year. I am not sure about the other colors.
Are you getting a PST?
I found The PST in berlin yesterday, at Chanel in Kadewe!! It was 1390 euros, And The big one is 1790!!
OMG, that’s really exciting. It’s really back! which color did you got? The big one, you are referring to the PST XL right?
Thank you very very much Sassy for your recommendation 🙂 I just got the PST! Mine is black caviar with shw. The size is perfect. It’s classy and super cute.
BTW, the price is slightly increase. It’s $2200.
I was wondering, could you share your PST to us? Post it on the forum.
http://forum.bragmybag.com/showthread.php?t=384
I heard the previous PST and the one it’s selling now are different. I want to check it out.
My gf is in Paris now and there’s no more PTT in ghw only shw. The price is yes… Cheaper €1390. Anyone has the a photo of the latest PTT in grey/black shw to share? I’m dying to know how it looks like.
Dear All,
When I thought I gotten lucky with black cavier jumbo flap… there comes my nightmare.
Today when I finally gotten my bag from my friend who bought it in UK,, I saw that the back pocket of the bag is having 2 fade blue spot on it. What should I do. I am in singapore and the bag is with me now. I think my friend has throw the recipet away. What should I do now. Can someone please help me pls…
Hi Jo,
First of all don’t do anything to your bag, don’t even try to clean it w/ any leather treatment cleaner. U can bring your Chanel to Chanel boutique, maybe go to the one at Takashimaya (Nge Ann City). They know a professional place to clean it. I went there once and got the business card of the place. But it does take time. I had mine cleaned for 2 weeks, U can repaint it too but it takes about 1 month (at least).
Where do U live? I know in NY they have the same place too. Always ask Chanel SA’s where to go, they know better.
I totally agree with myzoya, don’t do anything with the bag. Bring it back to the Chanel boutique, try to involve your friend too. If not tell the SA your story, try to call the head office for help. And worst case scenario, ask the SA if they can resolve it, maybe a refurbisment treatment or advice where to have it cleaned.
Hello sassy.bag! Thanks for helping us girls with one of the biggest investments in our lives!
Can I check if anyone knows the price for Chanel Medium Flap Bag in Black Caviar w/GHW and same thing in Jumbo size? I’m going Italy this 15th June!!! And now I’m so worried about it being out of stock! Do you think Milan stands a higher chance? Because I’m going with a tour group so the first stop is Milan and final stop is Rome.
Thanks a million!
The price Chanel classic flap bag medium is €3,100 EUR and jumbo is €3,400 EUR. There’s a chance they don’t have stock and that they don’t have your color and leather too. If I were you, I would do a investigation where your bus will land, and the quickest way to the Chanel boutique. The boutique is not hidden, so its easy to find. But a phone call before you go to ask whether they have your bag in stock is also a smart move. I think you can reserve your bag for 48 hours. Some people did that before.
Yea that’s my worry. 🙁 I am also considering lambskin and the reissue 2.55 model.
Okie I will ask my tour agency for the information! Thank you for your prompt reply and advice!
The Reissue 2.55 lambskin is gorgeous. Do you know which size, color and chain? shw or ghw. And what if they don’t have it in that color, which are your second option, third option etc… Be prepared for everything, so you can adjust quickly when you are in the store. Especially because your time is so limited.
Totally agree with you.
My priorities will be classic medium or jumbo then reissue 2.55 similar sizes, caviar then lambskin, then GHW followed by SHW, but definitely black. As this is my first chanel, hopefully I’ll get something classic and timeless. I have to get 2 pieces actually, one for my brother’s gift to his wife-to-be. Hope to make them and myself happy! The problem is they only have one boutique in a city so stocks are so limited!
Though the new chanel boy bag is interesting…
Keeping my fingers crossed for Celine Mini Luggage too!
I’ve googled the map for the distance btw the likely stop overs during the tour and the boutiques, hope I wouldn’t get lost!
Oh Shu Hui, oh you are hunting for A celine bag too. Are you not going to visit other cities as well?
Yesssssss! Celine Mini Luggage!
The tour is only going Milan, Vernice, Florence and Rome. My friend just came back from Europe and she shared that Chanel Jumbo is out of stock, she got hers in London.
oh my god, congratulations! are you going to hunt for the chanel bag right now? chanel you never know, you might just find it in their store.
I just bought a classic flap in medium here in Dubai, UAE and paid 17300AED for it. The jumbo is now for 19600.
Hi Nadia thanks for sharing this. Congratulation with your new bag. The price is a bit more expensive than Europe, but do you get tax-refund over there?
Dubai is a tax free country hence their is no tax refund. Previously things were cheaper here but not anymore!
Hi Nadia, yes that’s what I heard. Someone checked and it’s a bit more expensive. While it’s a tax-free coutnry, the prices are higher. Like in HK, ther are no sales tax, but the Chanel bags are sky high. Congratulation with your bag btw, it’s only a little bit expensive, but worth every dime!
Hi. How can I order 1 bag: CHANEL DOUBLE FLAP, GOLD KEY, CAIFSKIN, BLACK COLOR, SIZE JUMBO in Sydney Australia. How much and Tax refund (I am from Vietnam and will travel to Australia).
Thank you
You are looking for the Chanel jumbo in black calfskin. You can just get this bag in the Chanel boutique. They have a boutique in 70 castlereagh street, but why would you buy in Australia if you can get it in Vietnam?
Hi Sassy.bag!
Just want to let you know that this particular post on your blog helped me tons!! When I got the surprise from my hubby that we are going to Rome.. I quickly did my research online on the updated price of the Classic Jumbo Flaps! 🙂 Your website was god send as I am stationed out of Singapore and based in UAE…
My cousin who bought hers (Black,Jumbo, cavier w/ SHW) 12weeks ago paid SGD7250.. I checked the boutique here in Abu Dhabi for Beige Jumbo, cavier w/GHW & the approximate cost after conversion is SGD6504
So, with the difference in price between Spore & UAE,, I was even more determined to get my first Chanel while in ROME! LOL
In Rome,the boutique is rather small and many things were sold out just within days of stock arrival. 🙁 However, the SA attending to me was super nice and patient with me when I was undecided on whether to just go ahead with the beige lambskin (which was not my first choice of material). Then, suddenly the SA asked me to wait while she went and got me a new design that arrived just a day ago. It was a seasonal (winter) piece in gorgeous dark blue with SHW.. Fell in love with it immediately.. and got it. All this while I forgot to ask what the model is called! hahaha.. maybe someone here can help me.
Original price @ eur2300, after vat refund = eur1978 :))
here’s the link to the bag:

Hi Loulou, omg thumb up for your story!
I am really excited about your new bag, the new winter season has just arrive. But do you have a real life image for me to look, maybe two or three picture on your phone. And can you post it in the forum.
Hi sassy.bag and loulou!
Why didn’t I come across the website earlier?? Thank for helping us girls with such a heavy investment!
Anyway I am going Italy on 15th. Now that Loulou has been to Rome and it seems like luck is thin to get Chanel, I think I’ll get mine as soon as in touch down on Milan! But the problem for me is I’m going with tour group so if a boutique doesn’t have it than its hard to travel around to find another.
Loulou is it had to find chanel boutiques in Italy? Do you know how much is Chanel Medium Flap Bag, black, caviar with GHW?
Thank you ladies!!!
If your itinerary includes a stop at Galleria vittorio Emanuele II , you will have no problem finding all the branded goods under one roof. I met a few ladies who were with a tour group in the LV store , they were brought there right after touching down . I am pretty sure your tour guide will bring you there as the Duomo is right outside the mall.
I just bought 2 classic chanel bags in NYC 2 weeks ago. From their flagship store on 5th & thr other one from Madison Ave–One is jumbo blue caviar (kinda suede-ish) for $5300 (w/ tax) and the maxi one is red lambskin w/ matte gold hardware for $5770 (w/ tax). They all gorgeous. What I’m so surprised is the abundant of chanel colour collection they have in stock!
I saw many colourful crocs classics being displayed in the stores. And other style w/ many colours available too.
I’m surprised because this won’t be the case in London. I tried London before–called them up beforehand and they usually only have dull colour 🙂 black, beige–U got my point lol. The colourful ones usually out of stock or very limited.
I’m hunting the colourful classic ones & even if I have to pay extra (tax) I really don’t mind–cos I’ve got what I want. And not many people inside the stores–unlike the ones in London, soooo many people & I found some of the SA’s especially the ones in Selfridges & Harrods are usually more nicer to the arabs since they have the most money *sigh*.
Loool, are you serious Myzoya, are they more nicer to Arabs? That’s discrimination! But I just heard the PST is available in US, while it’s discontinued for a long time and I haven’t heard anyone seeing one in Europe. Why is US so full of stock?!!!
BTW congratulation with your two purchases, I really love the blue caviar, saw someone in easy flap.
Thx for the reply Sassy… Love my purchases, the light blue is gorgeous. I initially planned to get the royal blue, but when I saw it it didn’t look as nice as I had imagined it.
Btw yep regarding the SA’s at Harrods & Selfridges, I experienced it myself for a few times already unfortunately–even it pisssed off my husband already, lol–but that’s a different story, lol.
I saw PST, GST & the ones that look like medium classic flap bag but the leather is more ‘wrinkly’/aged & shinny and the colours are a bit boring to me 🙂 like dark green, dark brown, dark grey etc, price about USD 2900.
Saw also the one w/ the flap but inside is opened (no zip, but it has some string around it..err maybe kinda accordion bag–sorry I cannot explain it more 🙂 ) in nice colours–yellow, nude, green–goes about USD 3350 if I’m not mistaken. Saw the large boy with a kinda tye-dyed colour of brownish golden and silverish w/ pearly colour based tone–it looks & it feels like made of a fabric but actually is a leather, around USD 4400, gorgeous but my husband didn’t like it ;-).
Anyway, the treatment in both NYC stores were superb. We were offered water, sparkling water U name it. They were very very nice to us. I had never ever offered any bottle of water or even candy before at any Chanel stores in London hahaha~. Sorry for rambling, I just need to share my experience ;-).
Btw, I’m sure U heard this a lot, but I love UR website…seems more personal & very informative!! Thank U so much!!!
(ps: I’m looking for a hot pink/fuchsia classic medium, do U have any idea where to get it? Thanks again).
Speaking of store experience, here at the Dubai Mall boutique, even though I had to stand in the queue for 20 mins before I was allowed to enter, once inside, I was made to feel as if I was the most special customer in the world. The espressos and the juices flowed non stop and the attention was so lavish. I had two SAs attending to me and they were both amazing. I am not Arab (married to one though!) and I come from a third world country but I did pay cash if that makes a difference! Overall, the shopping experience was definitely a memorable one:)
Hi Nadia, glad that U had great experience at Dubai Mall. I also always paid cash for my purchases, don’t really like the idea of abusing my CC, hehe~.
I went to Chanel Dubai Mall once in 2012, but was too tired wile it was too crowded & finally left w/ nothing…I guess I should have been more patience, I regretted I didn’t get the medium classic in soft purple 🙁
Hi Myzoya, wow what a story. I love these stories because they are so alive and very helpful for the community. But I heard you saw the PST, did you know that bag was limited for a time and nowhere to be found. They are taking it back, probably reissue it. Maybe you should get the PST too, it’s super cute and it’s a classic.
Thanks for your support btw, this give us strength to make the site better for the Handbag/Chanel addicts like you and me. But I have heard about the pink classic medium bag. Let me check the data’s…
One of our members spotted the Barbie pink jumbo classic double flap in lamb skin with Rose gold HW @ £2975 somewhere in London. Try to get in touch with a Chanel boutique and ask her where the stock is. Will you settle with the jumbo?
BTW, you deserve that special treatment!
Hi Sassy, I saw either PST or GST on the table, but honestly I wasn’t so sure if they were on sale or belonged to the customers, because they were some ladies around too.
I’d like to buy the PST but only if they have in dark beige/camel/nude.
Btw, thanks for the info for the pink classic. I should call them up tomorrow–but very pessimist about this, usually they’d be out of stock already :-(. And yep, jumbo would be my first choice, cos medium is too small for my items–I tend to bring so many things at once, lol.
Have a good weekend.
The pink is really rare, but it’s gorgeous. If you have the chance to snap it, buy it! I am hearing that the PST has been spotted everywhere!
Hi Sassy,
Thanks for the interesting Chanel infos you posted here. I would like to let you and a lot of girls here know that I just bought Chanel PST in black caviar and ghw from Chanel store in saks fifth avenue Beverly Hills today. They have black caviar with shw and burgundy with shw in stock. Have a happy shopping! 🙂
Woooww!! seriously…
We heard about the return of the PST, but I still think they are still limited in supply and you have one. Thanks for sharing this Pui!
Hi Sassy
You’re probably sick of hearing this but great website!! Learnt so much from everyone’s experiences and questions and answers.
I have no stories to tell but questions to ask 🙂 a friend is travelling to the UK in 2 weeks and is willing to buy a Chanel bag for me. From what I assume tax refund can only be processed at the airport is that correct? But when he comes back to Australia he will have to declare his purchase at the Australian airport and will have to pay our 10% tax. Is there another way to proceed with this whole tax refund without having to pay back? I mean what’s the point of getting tax back one end and paying back the other end.
I dream of the Chanel beige GHW cavier but after reading how rare Chanel stock is I have very slim hope. Especially as a bloke the guy is not going to travel all over UK to get the bag for me lol! I can’t decide between the medium and jumbo. Thanks in advance for your assistance Sassy xx
Hi Pax, I am never tired of hearing that this is a great website, you give me fuel to carry on. Thanks a lot!!
I am not sure how the tax work in Australia, but I do know this:
Chanel is cheaper in Europe compare to the retail price. Then you get 21% VAT OFF, but the Australian tax is only 10%. So you still enjoy the remaining 11%.
VAT is tax on the product, I think what you are paying is 10% import tax or something like that. Not sales tax right? But is it really necessarily to pay the tax if you are just buying one bag? And what if you have use the bag and travel abroad and then come back to Australia, do you need to keep your receipt all the time. That’s very frustrating.
But anyway, Europe is still cheaper than Australia.
More, you can declare tax-refund on your last stop in an affiliate company. These companies are usually found on airports, but they are also available in cities.
Which bag are you going to buy?
Thank you so much for the reply.
I have no idea about this whole tax thing. A gf who travelled to Singapore last year bought herself 2 designer handbags. She got her tax refund at the Changi airport. When she was on a plane back to Australia she had to fill in a form and one of the question was whether she purchased any item over $2000AU. She ticked yes and customs made her pay 10% tax. She argued and said she’s already used the bags so the custom officers reduced the retail price of the bag down to 20% so tax was based on the price of the bag minus 20% if that makes sense?
Sorry I wouldn’t have a clue if it’s import or sales tax.
Yes I do realise bags are cheaper in Europe. Last I checked the medium classic flap in Australia is $5300AU and the jumbo is $5800AU.
I want to get the classic flap cavier GHW in beige but don’t know if I should get the medium or jumbo.
I think it’s not neccesary to declare use item as in carry them as your own handbag (for ladies, guy… Errr… Not sure…:-)), just don’t flash your big Chanel shopping bag around the airport or custom. Try to discard or place them in yr suitcase.
My $0.02 worth….
Thanks…
I am not sure if I should bring this up, but I once ordered a book cost $300 USD and the seller quoted the value of the book at $5 USD, so he didn’t need to pay high tax. :S:S:S
So the more the bags are used, the less value the bag has and the lower tax you need to pay.
Do you already own a similar Chanel flap bag? or a GST? To be honest, the jumbo is just a little bigger, I would rather go for the jumbo, because you can structure your stuff more easily.
Agreed.
Jumbo will be my best best too…. 🙂
Thanks Michelle I’ve thought to myself I would not declare anything if I were to travel and buy a bag. However for this male friend if he didn’t declare and just shoved the bag in his suitcase would they find out somehow? I’m worried he may get a fine or criminal record which is worse than paying tax hehe.
No Sassy I don’t have a Chanel flap bag. I do own a seasonal black Chanel bubble bag that my husband got me for my birthday last year because the Chanel classic was just too expensive. I love the size of it. It’s between the classic medium and jumbo I think 11″. As a petite shortie 158cm will the jumbo look overwhelming on me? But I don’t want to buy a small bag and get annoyed cos I can’t fit much inside.
jumbo might be able to fit perfectly, medium will look stunning on you for sure. But I think maxi will kill your look. I have seen people at your height carrying the jumbo and it look nice. BTW, the size between medium and jumbo is not that much, especially compare to the mmmmaxii…
Hi Sassy
In the end (for now) I’ve given up on purchasing the Chanel classic flap bag. Seems too much trouble to ask someone to go through for me. I’ll definitely buy one myself when I get the chance to travel to the UK.
On another note I traveled interstate a few days ago, went to the Chanel boutique and got myself a Chanel classic wallet in cavier 🙂
Pax, reading your story, I somehow understand how you feel: ‘you didn’t get the Chanel classic bag, but you decide to buy it later when you are in UK, but for now you need to get your hands on a Chanel, anything small is oke (just to feed your temporary appetite =D). So you went ahead to the boutique and treat yourself a nice Chanel classic wallet’. Love it.
How much was it btw?
Yes you got me 🙂
It was $1000AU. It’s probably a lot cheaper in the UK but if I were in the UK I’d be getting a bag not a wallet right? Hehe.
While I was in the boutique I made the most of it and asked to see the classic flap in medium and jumbo to see how they look on me. The medium as predicted looks perfect. The jumbo is great for fitting more items inside but the chain is so heavy. The SA told me as end of financial year is approaching Chanel prices may increase. Is that true??
Pax, personal experience: Don’t rely on forecast of SA’s. They are like us, they don’t know in EXACT details what Chanel is going to do next. Here are couple of proof:
One of our member was told that the PST was discontinued in London, while I was receiving message everywhere that the PST was spotted in Texas, nice and even in Paris.
More, Chanel rumors price increase in December 2012, February 2013, March, April, none were followed through. Chanel might increase tomorrow, who knows. But the SA expectation is not wrong either, because usually Chanel increase prices every year. I am very suprised that Chanel is very good to us this year, maybe they heard our prayers =D
Hi Sassy! Hope you’ve been well
Just wondering, would you know if I call the boutique will they accept purchases over the phone and do international shipping? It is still a cheaper option than buying it here in Australia.
Thanks 🙂
Hi Pax, if that was possible, then it must be heavenly given. But unfortunartely, I am pretty sure Chanel do not ship international, but I know they do locally. If international shipment was possible, then I could order the bag in Singapore and then file tax-refund without having to go to Paris. I couldn’t follow your story, wasn’t there a friend of yours going to England to get the bag for you?
Hi Sassy or is it Alex? 🙂
Long short cut short. Initial story – my mate couldn’t get me the bag. But I have a friend of a friend who lives the the UK so I called the Chanel Boutique on Sloane Street and placed my order over the phone. I paid via bank transfer. Now just waiting for Chanelto ship it to the friend and she will post it to me. Yayy!! I purchased the beige medium cavier double flap gold hardware. The SA called it a “large” though so I was confused and asked for the dimensions to clear it up.
When I receive it can I somehow still claim VAT? Thanks!!
Hi Pax, thanks for stopping by again =)
WOW, amazing story. So you ship it back you Australia from London with the help of your friend. So Chanel London will not ship to Australia Actually, you were not in London, so generally speaking, you won’t get tax-advantage. And your friend is actually buying it for you, he just send it to Australia. You can get VAT-return only after you get the stamp by the customs at London Airport.
Complicated transaction, but still worth it right?
Hi,
Im looking at chanel classic jumbo cavier ghw but i know they do have shw. So im thinking which one should i take. Is there a price difference.
Hi Shasha, no there is no price difference in shw or ghw, but there are times they don’t have in stock. When are you going to buy?
I thought of getting it ASAP… But still waiting for my friend to check on the price from Germany.
Actually I saw someone selling it at $5950 on facebook with everything so I thought of buying from that person since is cheaper then the boutique but worry that I might get a fake one so still pondering whether to buy or not.
I also comparing whether to get the medium or jumbo since the price is not much a difference.
Please advise
I don’t think $5,950 USD (you are talking about USD right?), is not a cheap price, it’s higher than the retail price.
I’m talking about sgd . Guess the person bought the bag from Paris that why she can sell me at $5950
I understand, but is it authentic, brand-new, can you see the bag in life person. It’s not worth it to buy it online and have the 6k sgd transferred in one click.
When you already paying more than 2/3 of the original price, I wouldn’t touch an used bag. I would go to Chanel boutique and buy it, register my name too, so that I get the best service whenever I need my bag repaired.
I’m looking for CHANEL 3 / CHANEL 3 mini bag? Can you advise where i can find it?
Chanel 3, are you referring to this bag? http://www.bragmybag.com/is-this-the-new-chanel-jumbo-flap-bag/
If so, pls post comment over there… is it?
Hi,
Is Chanel Petite Timeless Tote a Classic as well?
Yes, but it’s nowhere to be found. Haven’t heard it on the forum for a quite while. Considering the PTT?
Hi, My friend found a PTT at a Chanel Boutique in Nice. It costs about euro 1790. Do you think it is expensive to get it else where?
Hi Miyoko, It’s Nice in France right? I would get the PST, that’s the right price. Are you buying it?
Hi, Thanks for your reply:) Yes, It’s NICE in France. Any reasons for PST over PTT? Appreciate your expert advice 🙂
First reason is that PTT is not available anymore, as far as I know. But if you can find the PTT and the PST, it will be a difficult decision. But I like the PST because it’s mroe classic. Which one do you think is the best?
