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.
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’m so sad that I can’t get GST ghw in Finland. It is out of stock… I think the price increased, now is euro 1930.
Maybe the tote price has increased, because the PST has also become more expensive. Thanks for keeping us informed. Maybe try in other cities?
my family just came back from europe, and they got me a black caviar jumbo classic flap in Venice! They got super lucky as that day they had new stock coming in. The price was £3450. goodluck everyone!
Hi Rachel, congratulations with your new bag! Are you sure the price was in pounds? Because Venice is in Italy.
Venice is in Italy…:-)
Euro I supposed…?
Thnx, I mean Italy, but it should be in euro or it’s too expensive =)
Sorry!!! Yes 3450 euros! Sorry about tht!
Hi, what’s your take on buying secondhand Chanel medium classic flap in caviar? 🙂 How much do you think a girl should spend for it? 🙂
A brand-new Chanel medium classic flap cost €3,100. Usually consignment stores sells used one for €400 to €500 euro less, that is €2,600. But companies like yoogi closet check the quality and restore the bag before selling. If you are buying from an individual seller, there is more risk involved. I would buy it below €2,000 or it’s not worth it. Where are you planning to buy?
Hi sassy.bag,
Can i check how much is the Chanel jumbo classic flap in Geneva? Tks
Everyone is buying Europe, so I can only speculate for you. But the prices within the European union seems to be the same, like UK. Around 4,100 Swiss franc.
Hi sassy,
I’ll be traveling to london on 22nd june and I’d like to ask about the availability of the chanel classic flap medium black caviar shw in the london chanel boutique / selfridges / harrods? as well as the current price for this item? hopefully they still have it in stock!
your website has been really helpful 🙂
Current price is around 2,600 pounds for the medium flap and 2,750 pounds for the jumbo flap bag. One of our member bought the medium black in caviar in London a couple weeks ago. But if they have stock on 22 june? It’s hard to say. But they are there, you might also want to try in Paris.
Don’t go to the ones at Harrods or Selfridges, they’re waaay too crowded & U have to wait in line & usually out of stock of many things.
Try the one at Sloane street (or square; I can’t really remember), I just called 2 weeks ago and they still have some the classics, black, in caviar & lambskin.
Better yet, try to call each of them (stores) when U’re there & if U’re lucky U can ask them to hold the bag for U for 1-2 hours (if U desperate, lol). Oooh..don’t forget to call the one at Heathrow terminal 3 as well.
thanks for your information!
is there any way i can get them to reserve a bag for me until 22nd june? i tried emailing the stores at new bond street and harrods, and so far only harrods replied saying that they don’t reserve items for customers.
does anyone know the stocks at selfridges?
Oh no, U cannot ask them to reserve the bag that long, only 1-2 hours for my case. Sometimes they don’t even want to accept the booking at all. I guess I had been lucky before :-).
Harrods in my opinion has better collection. But then again maybe I’m biased, cos I hate shopping at Chanel in Selfridges, too crowded, many rude customers & not-so-friendly SA’s, lol :-).
I like going to the boutiques instead, far away from any tourist places if possible..lol..:-)
Btw, I remember I read a thread here somewhere about someone was successfully buying a Chanel bag using a reserve & collect service at Heathrow airport (terminal 3), but U still have to call the [Chanel] store there though, do not email. Maybe U should Google “reserve & collect at Heathrow airport” (Chanel is only located at terminal 3 if I’m not mistaken). I might give it a try next time I’m there.
I’ll try calling them when I’m in London then! Hoping to check out the new chanel boutique at new bond street 😉 Thanks so much for your help myzoya!
Finally bought my bag at Sloane street today! They didn’t have stock at their new boutique at new bond street.. As of today medium classic flap is £2540!
Congratulation, caviar or lambskin? =D

What do you think about this one?
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.
