It’s September, so its time for another Chanel Price Increase Report. And geez, it’s like this ‘Price Increase Thing’ is happening every few months instead of twice a year.READ:
Chanel Price Increase Report Sept 2017 – The Boy Bags Have Increased Too.As a reminder, the last time we published about major price changes was in
May 2017. Chanel handbags in euro countries suddenly became 5% more expensive overnight. And we all know that Europe is our favorite place to shop, especially when it comes to hunting Classic handbags. The new policy effect on the Boy Bags was even worst; they went up by 7%. So it was a tough day for those that wanted to chase their dream bag.Then in August 2017, we published another
report. This price report was less shocking, but it proofs that Chanel prices shift constantly. In that month, we found out that the prices of the Coco Handle Bag, the Business Affinity Bag and other Classics like the Trendy CC WOC went up varying from 9% to 17%. For the WOC’s, the UK was hit the hardest, for example the Golden Class Double CC Wallet On Chain was increased by 17.75% compared to the previous price.And now there is another price increase. This new price increase is affecting most of the Asian countries. Let’s cover them all, step-by-step. Read on.
Which Asian Countries Have Increased In Prices?
Country | The Results |
Hong Kong | Yes, the prices have been increased |
Singapore | Yes |
Japan | Yes |
China | Also increased in prices |
Malaysia | No |
Australia | Yes |
Just to make one thing clear: the prices in euro countries, in the UK and in United States have not been increased.Our latest research shows that almost all Asian countries have increased in prices except for Malaysia. We have some good news too because not ‘all type of handbags’ went up in prices. However, a few bags have increased in prices two times in less than two months.Now let’s move on to the next question is: ‘Which handbags were affected by this new price policy?’.
Which handbags have been affected?
In the
price report of May, we showed that the prices of the iconic handbags were mostly affected. And today, we will be telling the same story – only the prices of the classic handbags have been increased. Another good news is that the prices of the Boy Bags have remained in tact, which means that they haven’t increased at all (for as far as we know now, if you have more info, please share more details in the comment section).But all other Classic Bags including the mini accessories went up in prices.And what about the seasonal bags?Great question! The seasonal handbags haven’t been affected as well. We have also checked the prices of the upcoming classics like the
Coco Handle Bag,
Trendy CC Bag, the
Business Affinity Bag, The
Large Timeless Bag and the
Gabrielle Bag. All of these prices were the same as before.
