Sometimes I ask the question; why this and why that? After receiving a quality tip from our member ‘Vixxen’, we just needed to figure this one out. What’s happening to our favorite Chanel boutique store in Heathrow?
| Guide To Heathrow Airport Overview |
|
Heathrow was a favorite spot for most European bag lovers, especially terminal 3. Our favorite Chanel boutique is open from 7.00 to 22.00. It’s stocked with bag, bags and bags. Oh yes, Chanel jumbo flap bag, Chanel 2.55 reissue and tote and medallions. They are all there and discounted.The
Chanel boutique in Heathrow airport was located in the tax-free area. So Chanel lovers could buy their bag at 14% discount because there are no administration fee involved. Some will even buy a cheap ticket, fly there for the night, just to get their hands on their favorite bags.But recently some
disappointing news have been announced. Chanel is going to stop stocking
iconic bags at Heathrow (like the classics). That’s their new policy. What a disappointing news.So what else is there to do? US and Asian can travel all the way to EU and get their Chanel bags with tax-refund. Europeans don’t have
much choices. Can we travel all the way to US or Asia to get some tax-refund or discount? Sight, I wish Chanel could make our life
easier and not harder.

Update: Since 2021, Shopping at Heathrow Airport is no longer tax-free 
Do they carry the eyelet woc at Heathrow? If so, how much? Anyone else know the price difference between boy woc to the classic woc?
Hi Judy, they should carry the bag at Heathrow. The difference in price between boy and classic woc is not that much. You can see more here: http://buyluxurys.com/chanel-woc-prices/
Does anyone know how much the WOC cost at Heathrow?
Hi Judy, depends on which WOC you’re looking for. But Heathrow airport tax-free area doesn’t charge VAT. So the bags are without VAT, that is 20%. So you take the price of the Chanel WOC on here: http://buyluxurys.com/chanel-woc-prices/, you deduct 17 percent off, you will get a good estimate.
