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

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.

Hi
Ok this thread convinced me to go ahead and buy a chanel bag before any price increases but do you think if I go next weekend, which takes it into march, the prices would have gone up?
Hi Reem, nobody is sure yet what Chanel will do next. We heard from SA that Chanel is going to increase price in Dec. 2012, well nothing happened. Now they say that in February 2013 might be the price increase. Last year they did it in the beginning of the month. We haven’t seen any price changes until now, maybe it will happen in the end of the month. I am crossing my fingers for you.
How many % tax refund if i buy from istanbul?tq sassy.i love chanel
Hi Ms Saw,
VAT in Istanbul is 18%, depending on the administration fee, you should get around 10 – 14 percent back.
Thanks a lot for ur kind info..appreciated!
Next month i go istanbul,is there using euro and how much is classic medium flag?tq
Hi Ms Saw,
Chanel boutique is be located in the European side of Instanbul. The prices should be the same like other European countries. So the prices you found above are still valid.
I really need to know how much the price for .. Chanel Cerf Tote A15206 size 14″10″6″ in Germany please help me cause i need to know for buy than where can i get the bag very soon.. Thx
The cerf tote is replcaced by Cerf tote executive. More info here: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-cerf-tote-or-should-i-say-caviar-tote. The price should be still €1.600. I am not sure about the availability. It’s pretty much limited, so you should give the boutique a call.
Oh okie. I’m actually from Malaysia. My friends are actually visiting Europe next month and I’m asking them to help me getting bags. So I need to do some homework. I need to know how to do the VAT…etc…
Oh Catherine, you don’t need to do your home work. I have already done that for you:
All VAT prices + how you can get the discount are located here: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-classic-bags-on-sale-get-max-25-discount
Be sure you friend ask for the documents in the boutique and then apply for tax-refund on the airport. Or else you will have much trouble getting your tax back.
The best thing you can do is to call Chanel boutique in Europe (the one your friends will visit) and ask if they have your favorite bag in stock. If not, your friends will get tired walking and searching, and at the end coming back with empty ends will get you very disappointed.
Yea I would like to get pst as a start up of Chanel collection…but it seems like I need to find hard to getit. Thanks a lot for ur info? Btw is there price different for buying prada in Germany n Milan?

I’m gng to Florence this April to 1 chanel medium flap…hope there won’t be any increase on the prices…praying hard…
Hi Linda, I am praying for you too. Some claims that price increase will be end of this month. I hope not. Which Chanel medium color and hard ware are you going to buy?
Hi Sassy
Thanks dear…
Going to get black caviar in Gold!
Hello may I ask if the pst still in stock ? As I heard chanel has discontinued this production?
Hi Catherine Tiong, I also heard that the PST is discontinued. But Chanel NEVER verified this, they only said it’s out of stock and that the bag is limited supplied to certain stores. SA will tell you that they don’t stock them anymore. But I don’t think they are discontinued, they are too cute to be. You need to call a few Chanel boutique to find the bag. It’s just harder to get.
Hi. Do you know if the medallion bag was discontinued?
Hi Mrsmom, SA are telling that the medallion bag is not in stock anymore in some countries. I think Chanel have limited the bag to certain boutiques, but not discontinued.
Thank you sweetie!!!
Your welcome :$
Thanks for ur info…is there any Chanel or prada boutique near Milan airport or Rome ?
As far as I know there are no Chanel boutique on Milan airport. There are in each city (Milan + Rome) one Chanel boutique. Here are the adress:
Chanel boutique:
98/101 Via del Babuino
00871 Rome
Via Sant’Andrea 10/A
20121 Milan
May I know how much is the tax refund in Milan and Rome for Chanel ?
See: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-classic-bags-on-sale-get-max-25-discount/
Italy VAT rate%. So calculated back would be 17% refund, but you need to add the cost for administration etc… I think around 10 – 14%.
