There were already rumors circulating about the
price increase on the Chanel Classic Bags in the United States (US). Yet there were still many questions unanswered. Is the price increase only for the Classic Flap Bags or also the Boy Bags? And how about the mini items like the Wallets or the WOC’s? And most importantly, is the price increase only in the US or also in Europe and other countries?Just a few weeks ago, we wrote the
Chanel Price Increase Report Nov 2017 Part 1. This report was about the price Increase on the Upcoming Classic Handbags, which mostly affected Asian countries
Chanel Price Increase In The United States
Like always, we’ve done everything we could to analyze the new prices. The Chanel Classic Flap Bag prices have just increased in the US. And naturally, the prices of the Reissue 2.55 Flap Bags went up as well.But hold!The price increase on the Classic Flap Bag only affected on the M/L (medium size), jumbo and maxi sizes. The price of the Small Classic Flap Bag has remained the same. See the table below:
| The Classic Flap Bags | New Prices | Previous Prices |
| Chanel Small Classic flap Bag | $4700 USD | $4700 USD |
| Chanel M/L Classic flap Bag | $5300 USD | $4900 USD |
| Chanel Jumbo Classic flap Bag | $5900 USD | $5500 USD |

| Chanel 226 Reissue 2.55 Bag | $5900 USD | $5500 USD |
| Chanel 227 Reissue 2.55 Bag | $6400 USD | $6000 USD |
So how high did the prices jumped? The price of the medium size went up as much as 8.1% while the Maxi went up by 6.67%. The biggest price increase was the M/L size and we think it’s because of the popularity – most people pick the medium size.As a side note, the Classic Flap Bag and the Reissue 2.55 Flap Bag prices haven’t gone up since May 2014, which is almost 4 years now. So it was just a matter of time before the price increase occurred.
