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 Replica Shopping 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 Replica Shopping, the more we want to buy them.
Chanel have literally doubled their Replica Shopping in less than four years. If you bought a Chanel bag in 2008/2009, then you might conclude that Chanel Replica Shopping as gone wild. If you are new to Chanel, you might think that
the Replica Shopping 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 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 Replica Shopping 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 Replica Shopping based on some leaked information of SA. The calculation can’t get too much wrong.

Hi sassy, I am planning to get a chanel medium classic flap in black from paris this weekend, I can’t make up my mind if I should get it in lambskin or caviar, with shw or ghw. This bag will be use for only special occasion and will not be my everyday bag. Initially I thought of getting lambskin, as the lambskin is so gorgeous. However, I am worried that even if I don’t use it often, the lambskin will somehow peel off or lose its puffiness over the years. Can you give me some advise? I hope the bag can last as long as possible. I prefer the look of lambskin but caviar is more durable…I just can’t make up my mind.
I also plan to get a boy medium flap, black with shw. Do you think it will be difficult for me to get one in paris since it is very popular now, I am not sure if I will be lucky enough to find one.
TIA
Hey.. I am in Paris right now and was just shopping at Chanel’s Rue Cambon. They are out of the caviar in any size in all outlets. The SA showed me the last piece which was the medium caviar shw when i asked for jumbo caviar shw. But I let it go to someone else as my husband preferred the lambskin jumbo. The SA mentioned that the caviar has been sold out and not sure when it’ll be replenished. As I arrived over the weekend, the classic flaps were all sold out everywhere except for the reissue series. So I was just relieved I finally got the classic jumbo flap. Hopefully they will have something for you over the wknd 🙂
Thanks for the updates and congrats on your purchase! Did you happen to see any boy medium in black?
Hi Angie!! It’s always a hard decision between the lambskin and caviar. The lambskin FEELS so chic, love it. But then again, a little scratch will make us very sad, even if it’s special occasions. If you are worried about getting your bag abused, then I would buy the caviar.
It’s hard to say if Paris has the Chanel boy in stock, but I haven’t heard any complains so far. As long as you don’t shop on the weekends, because usually a lot of gorgeous bags are out-of-stock.
Keep us informed about your purchase =)
Hi, thanks for the updates on paris stores. Now I am worried if I can get any medium classic flap.
Dear sassy, thanks for your advise! I’ll see what’s available when I am there, I guess probably I won’t get to choose if the stock level is low.
I’ll post my updates here after my purchase! Wish me luck! 🙂
Hi sassy, just got back from my paris London trips. Bought a medium classic lambskin with SHW and GST with SHW. Bought both bags from rue cambon. They have medium classic flap in caviar with SHW, but I decided on the lambskin after long hesitation, as the lambskin just looks so gorgeous comparing with caviar side by side.
However, boy flaps were sold out everywhere in London and paris.
I am really disappointed. 🙁
Hi Angie, that’s really great!! I totally agree with you, the lambskin feels more luxurious and chic. It’s much better if you compare to the caviar. The experience is also different. Did you also bought the GST in lambskin or caviar?
I have to say you made the right pick, classic flap, gst and if you had the boy flap, you would own the whole classic collection. Very sad that the boy flaps are sold out. I can’t belief it actually! Or Chanel is not stocking it. Did you literally went to every boutique (20+)? =S
Hi sassy, I bought the GST in caviar. I went to all the boutiques in paris and only 3 in London But all the SAs told me the same thing, boy flap sold out in whole of paris and London. The SAs said the stocks might only arrived 2 wks later. Even if they have stocks, it will fly off the shelves within 10 mins. Really dissapointed despite my efforts going to every boutique.
Hey! Did you try the Heathrow airport yet? I am not sure if they have stock, but you can try to call them (also not sure if you are traveling by plane).
Also check Amsterdam, demand is lower in the Netherlands. I’m crossing my fingers for you. Hate to hear that you can’t find the boy flap.
Dear Sassy, btw I saw your posts that mini is discontinued? I have a square and a rectangular mini which I was thinking to sell them off since they are too small and I hardly use them. Do you think I should keep them for my collection if Chanel discontinued the mini?
Hi Angie, do you need the money? If not, why sell it? The longer you keep it, the more classic it is. You have a bag that is becoming an antique =)
Hi sassy, no, i don’t need the money, I just thought of selling because I hardly use them and I didn’t know chanel no longer produce mini. I just bought last year, so I am pretty shocked to find out that it has been discontinued. Thank you so much for your advice and great informative website! I will definitely keep my mini. 🙂
Hi Angie, did you bought it brand new? or used?
If you don’t need the money, why are you selling it now. You can sell it ANYTIME! =)
Hello! I am doing some research before buying my first Chanel. I live in the United States, in a sales tax-free state. I will also be taking a trip to Italy in the near future. Where would be my best bet in buying a bag- at home or abroad? I am interested in the WOC and Classic Flap particularly (Caviar). Thanks in advance.
Hi SnowWhite, are you interested in the classic flap? I think it’s cheaper in Europe, because the Replica Shopping are also lower, but if you can’t wait, you can buy it in your States, you never know when Chanel increase Replica Shopping.
But in which states in the US are you in, that’s sales tax free?
Sassy,
I am interested in the 2.55 and the medium classic, as well as the wallet on a chain. I am just unsure of which to purchase as my first Chanel! Unfortunately, I would not be able to buy for a couple months in either country, and know that I am running the risk of a price increase by waiting.
There are five states in the U.S. without sales tax: Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire, Delaware, and Oregon. I live in Oregon and we only have one Chanel Store, located in Nordstrom. But as an Oregon resident, I can also shop tax-free in Seattle when I show my driver’s license 🙂
Thanks for your help, I’m glad I found this website!
SnowWhite
Hi SnowWhite,
I am going to make your life easier. Eliminate the WOC as your first purchase. The 2.55 and the medium classic is more expensive, but you get more value in return. The style, quality and the popularity is much better.
I love the 2.55 reissue as well as the medium classic. So, it’s hard for me the decide between the two. One is a vintage version and the other is the modern Chanel classic flap. I think you should pick based on the colors and the hardware that’s available. Also, which works great with your wardrobe?
BTW, Do you also know which color and hardware you are going to pick?
Sassy,
For my first bag, I want one that is in a neutral color so I can wear it for a long time, and with a variety of outfits. So I really like the black caviar GHW and the ivory color SHW. But I am not set on either, and will wait until I am in the store ready to buy to decide for certain which I want.
Thanks for the advice on the WOC. While it’s a more affordable buy, I agree with your reasons for eliminating it. Honestly, I couldn’t make much use of something that small and limiting. I am leaning towards the medium classic, as opposed to the 2.55. I really prefer the closure on the classic, though I love the history behind the 2.55.
Thanks again for the help! I will have to update you once I take the plunge with my first bag 🙂
Sure, I am very curious which one you will pick…:s
