Chanel Price Increase 2013. How will the price increase in 2013 on Chanel classic flap bags affect us? For those who are still doubting or saving money to buy a Chanel bag, there is no better time than today. If you just know how the prices are going to be in 2013, pretty horrified. What are the latest prices in the year end of 2012?
In February 2012, Chanel announced their first price increase of 2012. We expected, just like previous year, that Chanel will increase the prices of their classic bags again in December 2012. But it seems like that Chanel have merci on us and did not change anything on the prices. But that’s does not say that they will not in 2013.
How will the new Chanel bag prices be in 2013?
Planning to go and buy your first Chanel flap jumbo? I have to say, better now than today. I have some news that the next price increase will be +$600 on your classic bags ladies. That’s a lot of money.
What’s the price of jumbo right now? $4,800 + $600 = $5,400 USD. OMG, that’s an increase of 12,5%. The inflation is not even going so fast.
The more expensive the bag, the higher the price increase.
That’s obvious right? It is hard to see the Chanel WOC increase +100%, going from $1,500 to $3,000. Chanel classic bags like, Chanel classic flap medium, jumbo, maxi, the 2.55 reissue bags will have the most impact on the prices. These bags cost above $4,000.
Don’t forget the Tote bags, PST, GST, PTT, Chanel medallion Tote. All will have price increases, but as much as the classic flaps.
Latest Chanel Prices for now
The year 2013 is almost there and still no price increase yet. But do not think Chanel will not in 2013, if you decide to buy your Chanel, today might be right time. It’s Christmas and you deserve it. I have posted the latest Chanel prices here…
Bookmark this site or like it, I will be posting the next price increase as soon as Chanel announce it.

Hi alex, I’ll be traveling to London on the 19th of sept. I’m looking for the Chanel timeless clutch in black caviar(A32342) and the WOC in black caviar also(A33814). P.s. I’ll be flying out of heathrow on the morning of the 22nd. I’ve called some boutiques and am getting contradicting information. For example some SA are telling me the A32342 is discontinued. I find they aren’t quite helpful on the phone and I’d like to be prepared rather than running around London searching various boutiques. Please help!!! Thanks.
We haven’t heard anyone buying the Chanel timeless clutch in 2013, but it was said to be discontinued in 2011, while some people spotted this bag in 2012. I think the SA’s are too busy to give you the information or the stock are too unpredictable to give you a stright anwer. Did you know that you can reserve your bag?
I would just call the boutique up, ask for the two bags you want and if they have in stock you reserve it. The WOC in black (A33814), I think that’s the Chanel Classic Quilted WOC, Chanel at Heathrow might carry it, did you call them?
Hi alex,
Yes I did call them. The SA there told me they have the clutch but in red. But then the SA at bond street said its discontinued. So confusing!!They don’t have the woc presently at heathrow but I know they restock on Monday’s. I’m arriving in London on Friday so I’ll call then and reserve if they have. What’s your opinion on the red timeless clutch. I don’t know if it’s worth it?!
It reminds me back to the PST, some SA said it was discontinued, then the PST was spotted in Texas, Lyon and Paris. If Heathrow has it, then it means it’s ‘not’ discontinued. Don’t listen to the rumors, just ask if they have stock and when they do, which color. And if you like the color, then buy it.
About the red, do you usually wear red? Are you comfortable carrying a red clutch? And how often are you going to use it? If not, it’s better to leave it or you will buy an item that will just sits in your wardrobe. http://forum.bragmybag.com/chanel/679-chanel-timeless-clutch-bag.html#post2308
London has like 10 boutiques. Maybe you should ask Heathrow if they can call other boutiques to check if there are more colors available.
hi alex,
I already have a gst and 2.55 in black. I was looking for something to use on evenings when I don’t want to carry a big bag. To be honest I’m only even considering the red because that’s what they have at heathrow. However I do like red and wear a lot of dark colors. Should I just get the black woc and double it as a clutch. My husband says so what if its red, it’s a ‘chanel’. IDK I don’t get the impression that the SA are NOT very helpful on the phone. Besides, I know for a fact they work on commission and may not want to work too hard finding a particular bag for me when someone else from another store will get the sale.
Natasha before you make any decision, please check the new clutch bag: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-clutch-bag-is-oh-so-versatile/
Also, they have the Chanel WOC black quilted in velvet. That’s from the new season.
If you are looking for a specific clutch, there is actually one from the fall and winter season that I like. They have it in black and is very chic. I uploaded an image here for you: http://www.bragmybag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Chanel-metalized-clutch-ba-with-globe-clasp-1.jpg
About the timeless clutch, it depends on the reason for purchase. If you want to take advantage of the tax-refund, I would buy it. But if you really like the timeless clutch in black and don’t mind paying a bit extra, I would call up your local boutique to check for availability first.
do u know how much is the mademoiselle and gst in italy?
Hi H, yes we do,
Chanel GST is priced: €1,790 EUR
We are not 100% sure about the mademoiselle bag:
http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-mademoiselle-bag-collection-2011/
It’s should be around: €2,000 or cheaper for the medium size.
And what about dubai? I am looking for a shopping bag and the small size has 2000€. How much costs in Greece?
Hi Alice, which shopping bag are you looking for? Please go here:
http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-bags-prices/
Dubai is more expensive than Europe, all euro prices are the same in Europe, so if it cost €2,000, then it will be the same in Greece.
Hello!
First of all, thank you for this wonderful website! Such a wealth of information!
I’m heading to Australia in 4 weeks, and I’m after a medium flap bag (black) with silver hardware. Would you suggest that its better to buy over there with getting tax back? or find one in the US. I live in NYC.
Cheers,
Megan
Australia is expensive, US is higher price than Europe, not sure Australia vs US. In US you can try in tax-free states, it’s cheaper than Australia imo.
Thanks Alex, im going to Vegas in November…so might pick it up then. Do you know if, in general, the medium black flap silver hardware is easy to come by? I don’t want to be dramatic in store if they don’t have it!
No one can forecast what Chanel has in stock, but I was suprised that a lot of BMB members did find their favorite bag in Vegas. I recommend giving the Chanel boutique a call and request for a reserveration.
Hi all
I’m heading to paris 1 August. I want to buy gst black caviar with gold chain metal.
Do you think they will have it in stock? I’ve been everywhere like germany Italy and they don’t have it.
Also do you know when will the new stock come in?
Thank you. Really need help. 🙂
Honestly, I think Paris is your best shot, on BMB we heard a lot of people buying the GST ghw in Paris. Don’t go to Paris on Fridays and weekends (too crowded and too many tourist). Usually they get stock on Monthdays.
Thank you so much alex. That really helps me. I’m in rome now. And they also don’t have it in black. They have it in beige. I should be patience now and hope that paris has it. What do you mean by monthdays? Or do you mean monday?
Thank you so much.
Hi Siska, you are right, I mean monday, I typed too quick. Sorry for that. I would go for the black, don’t go for the beige. More, try to call Paris before you arrive, so you know which store has the bag.
Hi, I had a friend who was going to get me a Classic flap jumbo in black with goldhardware in Paris, but the sales person told her that there hasn’t been any gold hardware in all chanel stores in Paris.
Was going to plan to visit myself but if there aren’t any in Paris, might get it in london, or any other suggestion in europe?
They don’t have stock at that point, but what about tomorrow, next week, SA knows that new stock are coming, but not all of them know which bag and how much. My advice: 2 days before you go, call the boutiques and try to make a reservation.
Hi Shirley,
If your friend isn’t able to get you the black one in Paris, I plan on selling my Classic 2.55 quilted caviar jumbo single flap in black. I am planning on posting it on ebay. I used it 2 maybe 3 times. It’s in excellent condition and authentic!!! My account is kneuhaus02. I should have it up in a few days if you’re interested.
hi
im going to london next month and my friend ask me to buy chanel maxi jumbo (red) with gold hardware. I would really love to know the price over there so that easy for her to give exact amount to me and how much tax refund can i get back? hope to here from u soon. thanks:)
Hi Deyya, all Chanel bag prices are here: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-bags-prices/
You mention Chanel maxi jumbo, these are actually two sizes (pls read the link above I just gave you about Chanel classic flap bags, it will give you a clear understanding about the sizes).
Chanel jumbo classic flap bag is priced at: £2,975
Chanel maxi classic flap bag is priced around: £3,240
Rule of thumb tax return is: 12%.
My friend just back from UK, got tax return almost 14%.
Jumbo classic flap £ 2975
Medium classic flap £ 2670
Thanks Terrence, very useful information!!
tq alex.. she want chanel jumbo classic flap
Does anyone know the UK price of the mini flap bag (the more square one)?
Hi Coco, around 1,900 pounds, you can find the prices and the style codes here:
http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-bags-prices/
Hi Deyya,
You might want to ask yr friend to consider other colours as well… Red is not always in store as they sold out very quickly… Best of luck…:-)
hi michelle..she consider pink color..do you think its available?
Hi Deyya, it’s very much depend on your luck when you arrive… I managed to grab a pink lamb skin jumbo in matte gold hardware early June… But as soon as the stocks hit the store, it’s all gone before the day is over. Most customers would hold on to the rare pink bags while others can only admire with their eyes…
Chances of getting jumbo in black lamb skin/ beige caviar are always higher than black caviar… Very rare to see red and pink jumbo in the shelves for long…
Also, do shop as early as when u arrive your destination to avoid dissapointment… Just in case your desire bags are not available and you can always go back the following day…
Good luck…:-)
Hi does anyone know when the next price increase will be in Europe on the classic flap bags? I will be in Italy late December/jan and I hope they will not have another increase.
We heard is in December 2013, but then again, we are never sure. So far 2013 has no price increase, pretty strange! Which bag do you want to buy?
I want to buy the chanel jumbo classic flap in black caviar gold chain. I am going to Italy late dec/early jan, but I am afraid that there will be an increase before I go 🙁 my sister is going to rome in august so maybe I should see if she can buy it for me then?
Hi Sarah, I think that’s a better option. Chanel has not increased any prices yet, except the PST, but the longer you wait, the higher the chances are that they will. But if they don’t have the jumbo or the gold hardware in stock, would you consider the medium or silver.
The reason why I am asking this is because I went to Paris one time with a friend. She wanted the black jumbo in silver. But they had only the beige jumbo in gold (and yes, Chanel had 10+ boutiques and none of them had the bag she wanted).
I really would love the jumbo black in caviar. My sister will be in rome for 1 month, so i’m hoping even if it is out of stock, maybe they will get more while she’s still in Italy. Do you know if stores can hold the bag for you once it arrives …for example for one day? Probably not 🙁 I would also consider maybe the beige jumbo in gold . I’m going to Bangkok in 2 weeks but the prices in Thailand are not so cheap I have heard 🙁
Hi Sarah, yes they do that. You can call the Chanel boutique 24 hour prior and ask them to reserve for you. This is not a Chanel policy, so it depends on the SA whether she wants to help you or not. There are members at BMB that have done that before.
Asia is more expensive, so I recommend buying in Europe. The beige jumbo in gold is a good choice, as long as you have a back-up plan. Keep us informed =)
Hi,
Have you heard of Chanel Citizen Zip? Do you have any information about it? I’ve tried searching online but couldnt seem to have locate it.
We are currently checking that out, it appears that it’s not available yet in all boutiques.
hi dear,
my friend is going to paris tonight and i wanted a chanel boy in medium (quilted in black) and chanel ballet flats (non quilted with cc logo and patent toes) i would really love to know the price over there and how much tax refund can i get back? hope to here from u soon. thanks:)
Hi Rainbow, you can find our latest Chanel bags prices here: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-bags-prices/
Chanel flats cost around €500 and up.
You get around 12 – 14% tax refund.
Hello! Do you know what the price of the chanel classic lamb skin wallet is, in Spain ? You probably wrote it somewhere in your posts but I didn’t see it.
Yes, we have the price of caviar oversized wallet, it’s 760 EUR. The lambskin shouldn’t be too far away.
Hi,
My friend is going to Paris in July, wanted to get my first Chanel bag. But I’m worried that my friend might get the wrong bag, since I’m also not sure of Chanel bag names. I always wanted to get a Classic Jumbo Caviar bag in beige with ghw. But I’m not sure about single flap, double flap or easy flap. And Classic means that the opening of the bag is a double C? And price is Euro 3450? Can u kindly guide me?
Many thanks.
The price €3,450 is the Chanel jumbo flap bag. There are two Chanel classic flap bags available:
The 2.55 reissue and the classic flap bags. The double C locker is the classic flap bag. You might want to give your friend specific instructions:
Chanel classic flap bag in [color] and [hardware color and [leather]. Also copy the style code from this page: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-bags-prices/, the SA will know exactly what he is looking for.
Hi Sassy, many thanks for your valuable advice! I went to our Chanel local boutique in Singapore to get the model number for the Jumbo and it was A58600. I think it is not internationally coded the same. So I will get my friend to buy the bag according to the Europe coding A28600 instead.
Many thanks again! 🙂
Hi Savvy, u still there?
No No, the chanel jumbo single flap had the style code: A28600. The new jumbo with double flap has the style code A58600. So you need to tell your friend the code A58600, keep us informed.
Hi Sassy, thanks for the info!! I shall text my friend now! :))
Np, let us know how things went.
Hi,
Just like to know how much does it cost for a medium beige gold flap in Paris?
My dad told me it is 3600 which might include a small beige purse that goes with it. I was told 2400 before he purchase it then later the day he told me it is 3600. Just curious with the price.
This is my first Chanel bag, was looking for a black classic medium flap, yet they are currently out of stock. Can’t wait for my parents return from Europe.
Hi Wendy, there a ‘LOT’ of Chanel classic flap bags to choose, so you need to give your dad specific instruction about the bag you want, and with the style code. All types of Chanel bags has a tag with: ‘Chanel classic flap bag’ on it. The medium Chanel classic flap bag cost €3,100 EUR. There’s no purse that goes with it, maybe your dad bought you an extra small purse.
Probably, the SA recommended your dad one their latest pre-fall 2013 collection.
Hi!
my friend is going to Spain in Sep and I would like to know what is the current price and VAT refund % for Chanel classic flap bag in Medium black caviar? Thanks!
Hi Ezann, medium classic flap is priced at €3,100. You are lucky, no price increase yet! VAT return around 12%. Will you keep us informed about your purchase?
Yes of cos! thanks for the reply 🙂 but i’m still deciding between medium and jumbo though, I’m leaning more towards medium. Any advice as to which size should I get? I’m standing at 5’2 .
I would pick the medium, because it’s cute. But if you need more space, then you might want to consider the jumbo bag. Is the medium large enough for you?
May I know the price for the Chanel Mademoiselle bag in a small?
Thanks!
