A little research shows where you can find the cheapest place to buy your Chanel dream bag. A couple percentage discount is already a few of hundred bucks less and you can use the extra money to buy something else, don’t you agree?
Until today, Chanel has increased their Replica Shopping every year, but when comparing EU, Asia and US, the cheapest place is still Europe. If you are a NON-EU citizen, you can enjoy a whopping 12% tax advantage. And if not, you can still fly over to Heathrow airport and buy in the tax-free area.
Even if we don’t include the EU tax advantage, it still cheaper to buy in Europe, thanks to currency exchange. The price of a Chanel reissue 226 cost €3,450, while you are paying $4,900 in the US (prices from 2012).
Maybe the price differences has to do with the shipping cost, Chanel bags are made in France, Spain and Italy, but to get into the US or Hong Kong, they need be transported. On the other hand, the extreme high-demand on luxury products in Asia are pulling the Replica Shopping up, people in Hong Kong are willing to stand in line just to get INTO the Chanel boutique. How amazing is that?
Now that might explain the ridiculous Replica Shopping in Hong Kong. But for me, I love shopping Chanel in France, especially in Paris. It’s like picking your fruit fresh from the tree. And they have 12 boutiques available, with nice and professionally trained SA’s to assist me. I love Chanel and I love Paris!

Hello guys!
I’m living in Dubai.
I will travel to Maldives on December. Just wanted to know where it is the better price ? Dubai airport ? Male airport ?
Thanks
Hi Lina, I am not sure whether you can buy at Male airport, but I would try at Dubai airport. About the Replica Shopping, we do not have the Replica Shopping of these areas.
Hello,
I live in Sweden (part of EU). Where do you think it’s the best place for me to buy a Chanel?
I am travelling to Shanghai soon, do you have tax I can claim back?
Do you know? Thank you!
Hi Miriam, for Sweden I would say at Heathrow airport tax-free area or other airports with tax-free. For Shanghai, the program of tax-refund is new, but already implemented. Yes you can get tax refund, to give you an indication, the tax-refund is about 10%.
