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.

Firstly, appreciate your website. It’s so informative!
Anyway, need your advise on buying a Chanel bag. I already have a Chanel Jumbo (caviar, SHW) from my previous trip to 31 rue cambon. Now I’m going to Paris again in June and am contemplating getting another Chanel.
Which one do you think I should get?
Some Considerations:
1) Am 5’2 only
2) It will most probably be an everyday bag
3) Am rather interested in the GST with SHW but my husband thinks its not as nice as the classic flap bags (rather old-ish looking! ha!)
4) what do you think of the new easy flaps ? I would like to know the price too…
Thanks so much in advance! 🙂
Hi Pooring, I do love the easy flap, but you already own a jumbo? Is a bit similar. If you really love the GST, don’t let anyone stop you =P, just buy it. Because you are the one who is going to carry it, not someone else. And btw, you already have the Chanel jumbo flap (is it in black?)
Wow thanks for the quick response!
Yup you got it right- it’s in black.
Am also considering other bags like LV Alma Pm in carmine,
Or the Celine micro luggage (but wondering about the weight as I like to sling it over my shoulder)
Or maybe even the Givenchy antigona.
Not sure if getting an IT bag like Celine or givenchy is practical too..don’t want it ending up like the Fendi Spy or Celine Boogie…sigh
Need advise…help!
Hi Pooring, the Celine luggage is made to hold it on your arms or on your hand, not over your shoulder. But I did saw a luggage with detachable strap so you can carry it cross body. I really love the antigona, especially the design. But what kind of bag are you actually looking for? Everyday bag? Small, large?
It will most probably be an everyday work tote..I like to carry a lot of things so it must not be too heavy to start off with..
Hi Pooring, I will try the GST first, but it’s a great everyday tote, but large. How tall are you? I’ve a friend that wanted the PST, she told me the GST was just too big for her.
PST XL is retailing @ S$3500 in Singapore now.
Hi xoxo, thank you so much for sharing this with us. This is great!
Hi sassy,
I was told by the SA that its not called PST XL but called as timeless tote instead.
Can advice me if its the right term to be called as I will be getting my friend who will be travelling to Europe next week.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Sop, there is a bag called the XL PST, it’s like the PST, but then taller. The GST is larger in width. Then you have the petite timeless tote (PTT). So you’ve got the classic totes:
PST – petite shopping tote
PST XL – petite shopping tote XL
GST – grand shopping tote
PTT – petite timeless tote
All are different bags. Do you know which bag you are looking for?
Hi, any idea if pst xl is available in Paris ?
Hi xoxo, wow sounds great. Which colour of XL pst is available ?
Hi,
In singapore main black, beige, red:)
Black, beige and red. This is the color I saw here.
Hi, do you have any idea of the latest price for the WOC and wallets in Europe?
The normal price was €1200, however I called yesterday for the GST and they told me they’ve just increase all the prices.
normally will increase how many %?

Hi C, are you saying that Chanel has increase prices on their classic bags?
Hi,
First of all, I love your website.
I was planning to buy a medium timeless on Monday in Paris.
Can you tell if the prices have already been increased?
Thank you so much
Caro
So far nothing is confirmed, but I heard from a BMB reader that they did increased a couple days ago. So I need to confirm that first. When are you going to Paris BTW.
Hi,

I don’t have wallets prices review, but if you’ve a specific you need to know, I might be able to help.
Hi, love your web page, will be going europe in June, would love to know paris or italy is cheaper to purchase a chanel bag? Can we reserve the design that we want with them, and how long was the reserve for a bag?
Depends on where, if it’s Chanel boutique, there will be no trouble when it’s short-term. A couple of our readers have made reservations. And BlurBlur pointed this out in the comment sections, she called the boutique and will reserve for 48 hours.
I thought you’d like to know that the prices for the chanel jumbo is Thailand and Singapore you put down are incorrect. It is much more than those prices. Just called them 🙂
Do you know the exact price for Thailand and Singapore?
Jumbo
Singapore 7250
Thailand 187000
You are amazing, thank you.
Hi,
I’ve been looking at possibly buying my first Chanel i’d like to spend around $2000 AUD.
I like more of the tote shape with the large Chanel logo on it. Could you recommend something for my budget?
Thanks a million <3
$2,000 is a very tight budget, I usually would recommend the classic bags. I would recommend the PST, but it seems that this bag has disappeared. Have you seen the new Chanel shopping tote, biarittz btw?
http://www.bragmybag.com/must-haves-23-the-new-classic-chanel-large-shopping-bag-in-tiole/
Let me know what you think of this bag.
So to tell you that all the Chanel bags/totes are very high in price. The only on I can think of is the WOC you can get it in that price.
Thanks!
Hi,
I ve bought maxi flap in caviar (black), now i am
Thinkin to buy half moon clutch in caviar as well. Do you know price in pounds? And would maxi go fine for parties, night outs etc? Thanks
Hi Moq, I think you are picking a great choice. If you buy the halfmoon, you’ve got a large bag and a petite one. But do know that the halfmoon is larger than the other WOC, it can hold more. The price is around 1,000 – 1,100 pounds.
I think the maxi is a great bag, but how tall are you btw? If you are short, the maxi can be a bit too large for night outs. Can be very heavy and will be very uncomfortable, especially after the party, when you are tired.
Thanks, i am 5″2, i m still thinking abt halfmoon clutch, i mean it does nt come with a chain or strap, handheld clutches are pretty uncomfortable. I ve to decide between Dior’s miss dior n halfmoon, anu suggestion?
I live in a city which their is no chanel store, and I’m not going to big city nowadays.
Just wondering can I buy chanel by calling the store?
You can try calling the Chanel boutique, but I am not sure if they do delivery. You want your bag to be delivered right?
p.s. keep me informed Chanye.
Just bought a black jumbo ghw at paris few days back!
Cost €3450 before drducting vat. :))
Hii Lurvve, congratulation, I’m so happy with your purchase. Thought that Chanel would increase prices in Feb. 2013, it’s now April and the jumbo price is still the same.
Yes yes. Is my first chanel so i am so happy!
Yup yup. So happy is my first chanel!!
Medium is €3100, maxi should be €3700..
Hi Lurve, so ur bag is €3, 100 after VAT?
Yup i think it’s about there. But i haven got the vat back yet.
May I know the price for the chanel classic mini flap price in Canadian dollars please?
Thanks!
Hi Fiona, the mini flap has discontinued for some time now. Do you mean the 2.55 reissue smallest size, which is 224? The price should be around 4,300.00 CAD.
Size: 8” x 6” x 2”
How come is still on the US pricing list said $2400 classic mini flap.
Thanks!
As far as I know, the mini flap is discontinued. I think that’s the price when the mini flap was still in the market.
Hi, can anyone tell me if all GST bag has Rue Cambon stamp on it or only the one you buy in Paris has it?
TIA
IMO all GST has Rue Cambon stamps, even if you don’t buy in Paris.
Hi babe, can I check with you on the pricing for UK and paris for Chanel Jumbo Classic Cavier skin?
I will be going to UK then to paris by eurostar then back to Uk via eurostar. Thus, in this case I cant claim the VAT for item bought in paris rite?
How much does it cost for the chanel classic jumbo (cavier skin) after VAT in UK?
Thank you for your help in advance.
The jumbo cost €3,400 + VAT. You might not claim VAT return in Paris, but you bought the product in France. So your VAT deducation will be based on the France tax regulation. A good estimation of your VAT return is 12% (including administration fee). That means around €400 off.
Hi babe,
So does that means I cant claim the refund if I were to purchase the bag in paris and claim in UK (London)
How much is it in pounds for the classic jumbo (cavier skin) in london? And how much is the VAT in UK?
Thank you so.many for your prompt reply.
You can claim tax-refund within EU areas, which includes UK. If you buy in Paris, you can still claim tax-refund in UK. Make sure you have all your documents with you. You can around 12% refund. The prices in Euro and Pounds of the Chanel bags are almost similar. around 2,900 pounds for the jumbo caviar.
Hi! Can I check if you know of this bag Chanel Timeless CC Tote? The model no is A67291. Is it a classic and how much does it costs? It seems almost like GST but not so box-shaped. do you have any idea?
This bag is kind of sitting next to the GST. I heard that the normal size is just bit smaller than the GST and bigger than the PST, just like something between.
Price:
Timeless CC Soft Hobo Bag – $2,900 USD
Timeless CC Soft Medium Shopper Tote Bag – $3,100 USD
How much is the GST now as of 2013?
Hi S, so far no price increase, so the prices are still the same.
