Chanel Classic Flap Bag vs. Reissue 2.55
Nov 30, 2007 / Posted in Chanel Handbags by Vlad Dusil.
One very commonly asked question on our Chanel Forum is on the difference between the Chanel Classic Flap and the Chanel Reissue 2.55 bags. I’ve scoured the forums this morning to educate myself, and our readers about the differences between the two. Let me start with a few historical facts on the Reissue.
HISTORY:
The lock on the Reissue is the original lock, it is called the Mademoiselle Lock as Ms Coco Chanel never married, the ‘CC’ lock was introduced to the Classic Flap Bags only in the 1980s by designer Karl Lagerfeld. The 2.55 in its name refers to the first release of the 2.55 bag in February of 1955. Coco Chanel grew up in an orphanage/convent, therefore, the double chain shoulder strap comes from when the children’s’ caretakers in the orphanage would dangle keys from their waists with the same type of chains as on the Reissue. Also, the zippered compartment on the inside of the front flap of the Reissue is where Coco sequestered her love letters, as she was having an affair at that time. The brownish red color of the inside represents the color of Coco and the rest of the children’s uniforms (the nuns’ were black with white trim: thus, the packaging on Chanel Parfum/Eau de Parfum/Eau de Toilette). The back outside flap of the Reissue actually marks where Coco would stash extra money!
Over the years there have been many variations to the original design of the 2.55, including the leather/fabric, the chain – metal vs. interwoven leather, single flap vs. double flap, and the closure – mademoiselle vs. interlocking CC. The 2.55 refers to all flap-style bags, including variations of the original! The term classic flap commonly refers to the flap with the interlocking CC closure and the leather interwoven chain.
In February 2005, Karl Lagerfeld re-made the 2.55 – exactly as Coco Chanel had made in 1955, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the 2.55. It came to be known as the Reissue. Technically the term Reissue should only be used for the bags that were made to commemorate the original – so only those in 2005. However, it has become convenient to call all 2.55s that resemble the original 2.55 Reissues and all 2.55s that have the interlocking CCs Classic Flaps.
More on the fascinating history of the Reissue 2.55.
THE DIFFERENCES:
This thread, particularly post #57, gives a great amount of information on the differences between the two styles. If I may briefly summarize:
1. Closure/Locks: Classic has the double CC turn-style lock, the Reissue has the Mademoiselle lock (rectangular shape).
2. The handle: The reissue has an all chain handle, while the classic has leather interwoven between the chain links.
3. Reissue has a different type of leather, that is made to seem more worn than the caviar leather on the classics.
4. All the reissues have a double flap inside, whereas the Jumbo Classic does not.
5. The sizes on the Reissue are different than the sizes on the Classic Flaps.
SIZES & PRICES:
The Chanel Classic Flap Bag comes in three sizes:
Small – 9″ x 5.5″ x 2″ – $1,495.00 Caviar + $100.00 more for lambskin
Medium – 10″ x 6″ x 2.5″ – $1,595.00 Caviar + $100.00 more for the lambskin
Jumbo – 12″ x 8″ x 3″ – $1,695.00 Caviar + $100.00 more for the lambskin
The sizes for the Chanel Reissue 2.55:
$1,795 A302224: – The Baby 7.5 W x 5.75 H x 1.75 D inches
$1,895 A302225: – Small 9.75″ x 7.06″ x 2.16″
$1,995 A302226: – Medium 11″ x 8″ x 2.5″
$2,095 A302227: – Large 12.25″ x 9.18″ x 2.5″
$2,495 A302228: – The X-Large aka Jumbo 14.2″ x 9.8″ x 3″ (rare)
There is a lot of visual aids in a forum thread with pictures of Reissues and Classic Flaps. An absolute must-see for enthusiastic Chanel bag collectors and lovers.
Those prices seem way off, given the Chanel price increases, although I haven’t bought a classic flap in a while.
I remember reading the jumbo caviar was up to 2395…but that’s neither here nor there!!!!
Megs I think it is cool how much we can learn on the forum! AHH!!! I learn new things every day from the wonderful ladies and gents on there.
Yeah – those prices seem a little off. I’m pretty sure it was more $ than that the last time I was at the Chanel store… about 2 months ago?
yes i agree i just bought one and it’s 29 something almost 3,000 for my jumbo..but we’re in canada so everything is expensive!!
Wow, great info. I am a “new” Chanel lover and I love learning all about the history.
Thanks!
Thanks for the great summary!
Althoug,as others said, the prices are a bit outdated. I remember the lambskin jumbo pre-prise increase to be 2700. I believe it’s actually over 3100 right now!
Hard to keep up with all these increases
those prices do seem odd, does anyone know the real price for the medium and small chanel classic flap bag in caviar?
I bought the small chanel classic flap bag in black caviar for $1750 (and the sales lady informed me that they just went up from $1350). This was at the Chanel boutique within Neiman Marcus in San Diego.
Hi Ladies I am a chanel lover as well.. When I bought my first jumbo caviar it was 1695 and that was in 2001. The last was 2295.
Hi I’m sorry but I don’t know how much the classic medium and small is but I know the jumbo is £1200 or $2600 ish! I think the prices given are a little on the low side. Hope this gives you an indication of what the smaller version would be.
i just bought the large classic flap in caviar with silver chain for $2,350. It’s lovely!
the classic caviar medium- in april 2006 was $1650. i have one. now i want the 2.55 w/square lock caviar medium. does anyone know the price? id there still a waiting list?
Yeah, the classic flaps went up by 25% recently (as both the Neiman Marcus and Chanel salesreps informed me when I purchased my small silver hardware classic flap recently). As far as the 2.55s, I’ve not seen any black caviar leather 2.55s unless they are either an unconventional color (dark silver comes out in Jan ‘08 I believe?) or unconventional pattern (I saw a croc satin one out now at the Chanel boutique at the South Coast Plaza a couple days ago).
Are the Chanel bags featured on bagborroworsteal.com really authentic or are they replicas?
Definitely real!
sorry i’m a new members, i just a wanna buy a new channel..
I dont know which one a Classic Flap Bag and the Reissue 2.55..
so can you help me
Sure I have a great white Caviar for sale.
I would be happy to email pics.
Hi there, do you still have the white caviar? what is the size and price?
Thanks
no matter how much the 2.55 is worth just remember its chanel and the 2.55 is a classic vintage so if u buy it now just imagine how muc it will be worth in a couple of years time vintage is very in now so i think its worth it love chanel bags they are so classic and eyecatching
Hi Sophia,
Yes,I am agree….
I would like to buy a real chanel bag from internet, new one. Is there any place for that?
Yes Ebay, Dee Dee’s Designer handbags. Great bags,
Great pricing
Unless you are 100% sure that you are buying a used Chanel bag from an honest collector, I would NEVER buy a bag online, because chances are it will be a fake. Authorized Chanel dealers (Saks, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf’s., etc…. and Chanel itself) do not sell online (and the department stores do not even show the bags they are allowed to sell online). So be careful that you are not taken by a fraudulent (and illegal, not to mention easy-to-spot) imposter bag. Those fakes are so easy to ID its a joke – I don’t know who they think they are fooling. Know that all real Chanel bags come with an authentication card (it looks like a credit card) complete with an ID number. If your bag doesn’t have that, don’t buy it – it’s fake
Curious, anyone know what color hardware the original 2.55 had?
Hardware is gold in color. I have an authentic vintage Classic 2.55 medium double flap, lambskin for sale on E-Bay right now. It’s been used no more than 3 times, is in ‘as new’ condition. Please check it out. There hasn’t been another one in such fabulous condition in a long while. It’s perfect and pristine! Seller is Duffman1975
them prices are way over the top if they were less money plenty more people would bye them
If Chanel priced their products low enough for everyone to buy it would loose appeal! Part of their class is the fact that they’re so elite
how much is the medium classic in caviar? and is it the same price if its white or beige? thanks.
6 months ago bought 255 reissue jumbo size black, love it love it.Thinking about getting another one in dark silver color, the price us$3495 before tax,so big spending….
I am dying to buy one the jumbo size,I even cannot sleep thinking about it,i start to realise what an investment to buy one of them,can last generation!Here in the UK is very expensive,I didn’t buy them for long time now.I saw few in E-bay but not sure and not confident enough to buy as no receipt and all that hassle.I need receipt for my insurance purpose.Well!for all Chanel lovers I think it’s one of the best designer name which last forever and whoever has Chanel handbag nothing can make you proud about………hope sooner or later with my hardwork I will buy one soon
Hai Liz,its true that its better to buy a chanel bag direct from the Chanel boutique, considering so many fakes out there now…take care
Thanks for the info! Purchased my 1st Chanel bag at the Chanel boutique today. It seems like I’ve been eyeing the 2.55 lambskin bag with gold details for ages! I love how it’s such a classic…but I should’ve purchased this a long time ago since prices just went up to ~$2700 (lambskin medium) with taxes! I’ve been debating between the lambskin vs. the caviar leather & the medium vs. the large size. Does anyone have experiences with these leather or sizes —what are the pros & cons of each? Anyways, I went in with the intention of purchasing the larger size (the SA did not show me this size…maybe it’s sold out?), but didn’t realize it until I measured the dimensions at home that I had purchased the medium (which is a better fit for me). Now I can’t stop at just 1 Chanel. I’m already planning my next purchase. Oh the possibilities….
Hi,
Congratulation….enjoy your bag..As I know, lambskin is easy to scratch whereas the caviar is more scratch resistent for daily wear..But, 2.55 Reissue doesnt come in caviar.For the 2.55 Reissue the large size is 12.5 inc and the jumbo is 14inc. The jumbo is best for daytime,I wear one myself, but its all depends on how tall are you to fit it..
I purchased my first Chanel today as well! I can’t stop smiling- I purchased the large Classic in black caviar with gold hardware. I asked about the differences and saw them without hearing about price variations and picked my favourite that way. I really wanted a pink or off-white coloured bag but the lady informed me that these are seasonal and i’ll just have to wait. Obviously I settled for black but will definitely be purchasing one of these in the future (if I ever rebuild my bank account balance). My bag was $2980 (Australian dollars) and I can’t wait to buy another one!
thank you for the post and the price list!
I went to the Melbourne, Australian Chanel Store and the Classic Jumbo was $3,200 and the Reissue 2.55 was $3,490. So i’m definately getting my bag in the states!
Someone said there would be another price increase (classic, of course,) in May, 2008. Have anyone heard of this new?
yes..Euro increase so price will up for sure!!
I just saw Leo’s and Kat’s words about price increase of classic chanel bag in May, 2008. What a terrible news for me, because I’m getting one classic in June. I can’t buy it before May because I’m in Saudi Arabia. I have to wait until June (kids’s summer break starts June 12th) to come back to the states before I go to Chanel boutique. What a tragety to me !
Does anyone know if the price will really increase in May? How much increase?
Hi guys…
I’m from Singapore.
Anyone from Europe / Italy?
Can i know how much a 2.55 Classic Flap Bag Medium cost in Italy? As my friend is going there soon and it’s cheaper to get it in Italy than S’pore.
It will be my first Chanel bag.
I just got a Black caviar classic flap medium for $2350(it was $800 less about 2 yrs ago when I first laid my eyes on it
) and I absolutely love it! Now I can’t wait for a Gray 2.55 reissue.
Hi Mickey,
Is $2350 U.S. dollars? Does this price include tax? In which city of which country did you buy? Did you see any classic flap medium in smooth calfskin instead of caviar? Thanks
Does anyone know how many different leathers classic flap has? Only caviar and lambskin? Do they have smooth calfskin (not patent leather)?
what about inside? Is the inside flap leather or vinyl? Is the inside bag leather, fabric or vinyl? Thanks
does any one know how much a lambskin 2.55 bag is in great britain Pounds (medium size)? Thanks
Hi, I bought my medium black lambskin classic Chanel bag for £1220 at the end of last year. Apparently there is a price increase this month. I am now selling my classic Chanel as I am moving out of home and can’t afford luxuries anymore. I have the receipt from Selfridges. I can do the transaction through ebay as I have 100% feedback. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Hi! I was wondering in which country would chanel be the cheapest? France? Is that true??? I can get the baby classic in caviar with gold chain for Usd1875. Is that a an OK price? Btw is gold chain a better choice or the silver chain???
Pls reply asap. Getting my Chanel this wkend.
I’ve been saving up for a Chanel, omg it is so expensive! I’m worried about the price increase in May… I would like the medium size Classic Flap, is the price different between colors? Black and White? Thanks everyone! : ))))
Hi, please help, does anyone know how much the price for Chanel Black Classic Flap Caviar Jumbo size? Can you see the year by the serial number?
Thanks a lot
My husband went to Abudabi in the country of U.A.E. for business. He brought home a bag for me. It’s black classic flap caviar medium. It’s 8150 dirham (U.A.E. money). I just checked credit card, and it has been charged $2219.14 in US dollars. The bag is so gorgeous. I really love it. The inside is made of lambskin. All of the bag are really leather! My husband said he saw the lambskin ones of same style are about $600 US dollars cheapter. He said the sales person said Caviar sells very fast because it’s very strong leather which can lasts generations long. Lambskin is easily to be scrached, torn or worn out. Strange! I thought lambskin costs more money. The good thing is I finally got it before the price raise in May.
hi, does anyone know exactly, if Chanel 2.55 all gold, vintage leather mademoiselle bag is only for spring-summer 2008? i has sold out in the london boutiques, i am not clear if it is a classic or not?! (confused!) it costs £ 1375, medium black. please enlighten
I got a Chanel 2.55 medium caviar for $2600 which includes tax back in November of 2007

Hi, i would love a chanel bag and am interested do you still have your bag for sale?
thanks
Hi, sorry I sold it a few days ago.
Just bought a Black Classic Flap Black Lambskin for my wife in Paris last week. 1690 euro before 12% tax refund.
Nice but expensive.
Forget to mention that it’s medium side.
I just purchased my first Chanel Classic Flap – Caviar, Jumbo size, in white with silver hardware. Retailed for $2650, with tax $2868 – at the Rodeo Dr. store.
When is the price supposed to go up? And by how much?
Kate!
I’m going to Dubai in June, do you think the price has gone up there?
When exactly was your husband in abudabi?
Its ok if it costs 8150 dirham.
Im dying to get one! but 1890 euro is to much!
I just purchased the jubmo chanel flap bag black caviar with gold hardware, its the first time I’m getting the gold hardware. Can someone please tell me if the gold wears off?
I bought a Chanel 2.55 in the Chanel shop in Knightsbridge London in October 2007. I paid £1220.
My 2.55 is a red lined lambskin one. I asked about caring for the bag in the shop but they said it would not need polshing.
However, I decided that leather needs ‘feeding’ or it dries out and cracks, so I am using Dubbin [saddle leather polish] on it and it is already more supple and is building a subtle but lovely patina.
They are lovely bags but most people assume it is a copy!!!
love to all the Chanel girls, Susie Q
Hi, Im planning to get a black Jumbo caviar flap bag with gold hardware. The price in sydney store is AUD3350. Do you guys think its a good price? silver or gold hardware would look better? Thanks. Oh anyone in france would kindly let me know how much would it cost overthere before tax? Cus my friend is going there and I might ask her to get one for me. Thanks!
Hi Trace,

Hello there! I’m thinking of getting a Reissue large size that’s color dark silver or pewter. A friend is selling it for USD3,066. I don’t know how much the price is now. Is this a fair price? Will it be cheaper in Singapore or would anyone know if the Chanel in Singapore on sale now?
thanks!
Hi,

I m planning 2 buy a chanel classic medium size Flap bag in US, can someone tell me the price after tax(Caviar and calfskin). What color is the best choose for the first chanel bag? black? How about Beige?
I bought a Chanel classic black bag large size with sliver hardware (Caviar) for 20,000 HKD yesterday in Hong Kong Airport. I didn’t check how much for the medium size. Should be around 2,000 HKD lesser than the large size. I also saw a Chanel bag in white, classic size and double flag (the sales person mentioned that white is a seasonal colour only, not every year have it) is about 18,000 HKD. For the reissue Chanel, only Black is available in Hong Kong currently, small costs 22,000 HKD, medium costs 24,000 HKD and large costs 26,000 HKD. My suggestion is the best for the first Chanel should choose classic design in Black. This is a timeless design and you can match it with almost all clothes. The leather using in reissue Chanel bag changes in every season.
I just bought a Chanel classic lambskin medium in London, 1220 pound, then around 12% tax refund….is it more expensive in other places?
Yeah yeah yeah. I just got my first chanel.
It is a Chanel classic caviar medium at 1120 pounds. Thanks to my brother-in-law for bringing back my chanel from London. A message from Singapore
Can anyone tell me how much for
:Classic medium caviar in €uro???
:Classic Jumbo caviar in €uro ???
YEE~~~~~~~~~I bought a chanel 2.55 is a little different. It is the same form, but it got a line patten on. Dark navy.buy in Beverly Hills Chanel$2925USD(+GST)
In addition, can anyone advise on price of the following in USD
1) Classic medium caviar
Thanks.
hey guys, just got back from paris a few days ago and the medium reissue in black was 1980euros and there was a 13% discount tax for residents of non eu countries.
hope that helps!
Is it the same price of chanel 2.55 in France and swiss???
Hi Helen
I think the current price for the Medium Caviar is $2350USD.
I’m a Singaporean. Is it cheaper to buy Chanel classic caviar medium in HK or USA??
CrazywChanel: how much is it in HK? (converted to u$?)
In US, Chanel Caviar medium is 2695$
How abt in lambskin?
Rosenbaum (or anyone who can answer my question
),
I’m flying to Hongkong this coming saturday. I’m looking forward to buying a chanel classic, medium, in white/ivory caviar with gold chain. Would it be cheaper to buy at the airport (assuming it’s available there) or in boutiques?
Your input will be greatly appreciated
It would be cheaper to buy at the airport
HKD to USD around 1 to 7.8. This looks like HK is cheaper than US. However still more expensive than EU (applicable only if you can get tax refund). HK doesn’t has tax on it, so where ever you buy within Hong Kong is same price.
i mean 1 USD = 7.8 HKD
Hi everyone!
I’m going to Italy and London in a couple of weeks and was wondering how much a small classic flap in caviar (or lambskin) would cost in Euros and Pounds.

Hi,
I am Singapore, I have a brand new black caviar medium classic double flap for sale. A friend bought it from USA for me in Aug (US$2350 before tax), but its the wrong size (I already had the medium size). The price tag is still on with the dust bag. But it does not have the box as she discarded it for ease of packing. I am willing to let it go at S$3750. This is at the same rate as US$2350 with tax and currency conversion. I believe the current Singapore retail price is S$4050. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks !

i got my chanel classic caviar jumbo for $2500 + tax total of approx. $2800 here in my hometown Vancouver (Canada) and i love it!!!!! i still couldn’t believe it that i got it!
FYI,
according to a chanel sales associate, for a classic flap bag jumbo size ..it’s only available in caviar. the large size can be caviar or lambskin.
classic flap bag jumbo size (caviar) = USD$ 2650 plus tax
hope this info helps
i thought the prices for the jumbo classic flap went up…i thought it was USD $3150?
Chanel Sales lady in Hong Kong told me black caviar only produces two size i.e. jumbo or small size, no medium size for black caviar.
For white caviar, medium size is available.
My black medium (???) caviar measures 10″ x 6″ x 2.5″ (US$2350 b4 tax)

I need the information about the price for Medium Chanel 2.5 bag, (in US) anyone knows the price? also what is the best online shop to purchase Chanel? Thanks a lot!!!!
You can send email to oswaldokoo@yahoo.com
Oswaldo, I don’t know about the cost in the US but don’t buy online… Treat yourself to a trip to a boutique! If you don’t have one nearby, you call a store and arrange for one to be delivered.
Oh please.. Don’t ever buy it online. Why don’t you spend a litte bit more and you’ll get 100% authentic bag without has to risk yourself.

Hi, I’ve found a gorgeous baby pink 2.55 that I’m at the point of buying (off a vintage/second hand website)….everything looks as it should be (checked what to look out for). One last thing that I just can’t find on the internet – were the baby pinks made with a sugar pink lining and intertwined handle? I’m praying it was because I need that bag!!!
Thanks for great summary!!!

Hey all,

and does anyone know how much that is in paris??????
where is the cheapest place that i can get the chanel classic jumbo???

Hi,
A friend of mine is going to Paris in two days and I asked her to buy a Chanel for me, but I really can’t decide between 2.55 baby, 2.55 small and classic small.
Could you help me?
2.55 baby is too small?
Do you know how much is each in Paris?
Hello everyone,
I’ve been dying to get a classic black 2.55 for a long time now (medium or large, haven’t decided yet). I’m a big big big Chanel lover. In a few months I’m going to London, would it be smarter to buy it there, in stead of here in Amsterdam? Price wise I mean. Would I save a few hundred in London or would it be more expensive? Or would I have to pay taxes or something? Can anyone give me an about figure of what these bags cost now in Amsterdam and/or London?
I’d prefer to get a caviar bag, because I’ve read that caviar leather is a better material than lambskin, because it lasts longer and doesn’t scratch as easily. Is that true?
And finally, I’m still deciding about getting silver or gold hardware. Is there one that lasts longer than the other? Does it matter in price? Is there actual gold in the gold and actual silver in the silver, or is it just colouring? (can hardly imagine it’s colouring, after all it is Chanel! but you never know) Do you think gold is more classic than silver?
I would love some input from all of you! Great information here!
Thanks!
Oh and also, is there a waiting list? For black classic caviar medium or large in London and/or Amsterdam? Because if you think I should get it in London, that would be kind of a problem if I would only go for a week at most.
Would love to hear from you!
Hi! Somebody knows how much coast the Classic Flap Bag in Miami and in Paris?

I am from Singapore and intend to sell my Classic Flap Medium in Cavier (Black with gold hardware). I bought this on 30 December 2007 but have not used the bag. I have the Box, Dustbag, Authenticity Card, Receipt and Chanel Paper bag. Please email me if interested.
Hi I’m new to the site and want info for a future purchase.
Does anyone know when there will be another price increase for Chanel?
Does anyone know whether the 2.55 Reissue jumbo still comes in black?
to TM: I have one large black classic caviar, and also one medium dark blue lambskin. Both in silver hardware.
Caviar is really more long lasting, but I still prefer lambskin as this looks more beauty and fancy. Bigger size is good for shopping, but this is heavy after you have put something inside, at the end I prefer the medium size, as medium size looks more elegant especially for my size not so tall. I prefer silver hardware all the time as this is easier for matching in different clothes.
Hi Lyn, I’m interested in your black caviar, may i know how much you’re selling it for? Pls email me.
Hi Ying, please email me at siokyeen@hotmail.com with your contact details and we can take it from there, thanks.
Hi,
I am from the Netherlands and am going to buy a Classic Chanel black caviar Jumbo size with silver hardware. I found out that in Europe there is the same price in euro’s: 1870,- euro for the bag I mentioned. The saleslady told me this. So it doesn’t matter whether you buy the bag in Amsterdam, Paris or Barcelona or something. In London of course you have a different currency.
Does anyone know the current price for med classic Chanel Black in Eupro now ? Am about to going there and want to cuculate how much differenese with buying in US.

hi there, im new to chanel and am intending to purchase one 2.55 or classic large when I visit Paris and London in 2 wks time. As i will be flying into Heathrow, I was wondering if it would be cheaper to get it from the Duty Free at Heathrow or the Chanel Shop in Paris. Would there be much of a difference?
Bought today, May 30, 2009, a Chanel classic flap bag, medium size, white caviar with silver strap in Neiman Marcus, New Jersesy, USA for my friend’s daughter sweet 16. Paid USD2,594.75 including tax…
Only readily available colors are black and white, mostly in caviar style with silver strap…
Thought you might be interested in US price vs other countries.
For you reference the comparable price based on the latest exchange rate (as of May 29, 2009) would be:
in EURO: 1,834
in GBP: 1,605

Hi Ng,
I’m interested to get your Chanel bag. However, can’t find your email address here. Can you please email me? Anyone who has a new Chanel classic flap Small/Medium for sale? msemilytan@hotmail.com (Singapore)
Irina,
Honestly I don’t think the bag you purchased is authentic. Who in the world will sell something for <10% of the real price?
I just purchased Reissue 2.55 in medium size, light gold color from Cruise 2009 collection. Love it love it love it. According to the sale assistant, this is the first collection they have for metallic lamb skin, and also for matte silver hardware finishing.
I paid USD2695 (shop in Minnesota people, it’s a tax free state!) for it.
Sorry, I just measure mine and I just realized it’s in small size (i’m 5′ 2″ and that’s roughly the size of my usual dinner bag)
Nurulhuda, i know it is not authentic. However, if you visit this store, you will see there is only one difference between the authentic and my chanel….: THE PRICE!
so if you would like another for that incrEEdible bargain price, i really recommend before you go to anywere else, visit this site, and maybe you will save a couple of 1000s.
I am not a replica person, i own a few original bag myself, this is my first replica , however, i can see an incredible deal when i see it. And beleieve me, thie replica is EXACT.
I just wanted to share my discovery. there are many girls out there wishing for a bag they can t afford. At this site, there is no reason for spending time in wishes and waiting any longer.
hey, i wanna ask. is a chanel 2.55 black lambskin jumbo flap bag available in europe? ’cause it has been out of stock for months in asia.
thx.
melrose, the 2.55 black lambskin jumbo flap bag is all the time available in Vienna.
Irina and Ramona: making and selling counterfeit handbags is illegal, and although buying them is not (depends on country though, in France it’s illegal to even wear a counterfeit bag), you are supporting a criminal million dollar business. Also, you are supporting a business that involves drug trafficking, illegal child labor…
Although the quality of these bags may be excellent at first glance, I’m sure they could never beat the quality of a real Chanel – my mom has a classic flap that still looks amazing after 25 years of regular use. So if you spend a year or two saving for a real one, you will get a bag that’s gonna last a lifetime and help keep quality craftsmanship alive.
Designer handbags are a privilege, not a human right!
WOW, i have received my bag today… it is just perfect!
I have received the best piece of advise from this forum… Thank you IRINA!
hey there,
i flew to singapore last week (11/06 – 15/06) in conjunction to the great singapore sale and went to the chanel boutique over at ngee ann city or was it takashimaya? i get confused with these places sometimes. i only asked for the medium sized classic flap bag. a medium caviar retails for a whopping SGD4285 whereas a lambskin retails for SGD4685. i wasn’t keen on the jumbo sized bag since i’m petite. but a friend of mine told me that it would be much cheaper to get it from where the bags are produced, FRANCE. well, it implies to other couture bags too. for instance prada; italy, burberry; uk and louis vuitton; france. i’m not relatively sure how true this may be. but mine has proven right. while i was at singapore i actually bought myself a louis vuitton neverfull in a large for SGD1140 and i thought it was cheap. apparently a couple of days ago i found out that louis vuitton in france retails the same bag for 475 in EURO and that would be SGD964. i was gutted!
now, i really don’t know where i should get the chanel classic flap. i’m flying off to australia sometime next month. does anyone know how much the current price of a medium caviar classic flap there?
@Rosenbaum
thx for your information =)))))))))

Hello,
I am going to Germany in August and would like to purchase the Caviar 2.55 Classic Jumbo bag. I am from Miami and it retails here for $2,650 (plus tax). What is the price in Euros as I would like to see where I can get it cheaper.
Thanks,
Dear Harlow,
I am somewhat shocked to hear that a 2.55 jumbo retalis for USD2650. I must say that is indeed an extremely good price. Is there by any chance that you know how much a medium caviar would be?
Thanks
Baglady,
I believe the medium is only $200 less. Not exactly sure. Where are you from that you say this is a good price? I hear that in euros the bag comes out cheaper. Does anyone know how much the 2.55 classic flap Caviar Jumbo is in euros?????
Thank you,
Irina/Romana
How does the hallogram and dustbag look like for the high end replicas? Do they look the same like the authentic?
I have a brand new Authentic Chanel Limited Valentine’s 09 Flap with 6 charms in pink lambskin for sale..
Comes with receipt dated 13-2-09, box, care booklet, dustbag.
This is a collector’s item that you cannot get in chanel boutique.
Interested pls email magdalynloh@gmail.com
Sincere buyers only, thanks!
Harlow,
Well, where I’m from doesn’t really matter and it makes no difference
All righty, if I am not mistaken getting a classic flap in Paris would be cheaper by a few hundred dollars than anywhere else. And that is according to a very reliable source who is an extreme bagaholic. He blog about it but I’m sorry I couldn’t disclose the link to his blog since it’s rather not polite to mention it on someone else’s blog. If anyone wishes to check out his blog email me red.strappy.heels@gmail.com
Hi,
Can anyone provide me the latest prices for classic flap size medium and jumbo in euro and pound ? what colour does classic flap medium has?
Chanel powerseller on eBay: http://hautebrands.blogspot.com
@ baglady
in US medium lambskin is USD2695 = SGD 3921
i’m not sure in europe, but i think somehow it will be cheaper. i bought my dior gaucho in paris when they just came out, and i got it for EUR1100 (after VAT, it was like around EUR900!)
p/s: i did comparison when i was there, and found out eventhough most of the bags are made in italy, they are cheaper in france (don’t ask me why)
can anyone help me,
i got a medium reissue a few months ago for my birthday and even though i’ve stored it in its bag, kept it out of rain, sun etc. the leather on the corners have started to fade to a greyish blue. Its barely visible but its really upsetting as it cost £1500 and was a gift from my future mother in law! Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? Is there anyway to cover it up? its calveskin btw. thanks!

Hi, I have been going to Paris for 23years every october for aweek.it has taken this long of nose,s pushed up at windows to be able to afford going in and choosing whatever I wanted{oct 2008].
My husband and I went to the origional shop at Rue de Gambon {I said if I ever purchased it would be from there I know not every one has that privilage]and we walked out with a classic medium black patent,silver hardwear at approx £1800 sterling.We then went across the road and had abottle of champers.
The reason for this story as I have read alot of your bloggs.
I treasure this bag my husband bought and promised me all those years ago. It is not only how,where and how quickly,cheaply to buy the bag it is what it means if it is a quick fix and it is only going to be bought like that, think twice as you will be on to the next thing before the money has changed hands.If not enjoy the experience yourself, use the bag as coco intended.Happy bag shopping.
Hi guys, Im debating over which bag should i get, the Chanel Jumbo or the Chanel Medium? The medium is not too spacious so Im thinking about the Jumbo. The jumbo definitely has more space and can maybe stick in a wallet?
Can anyone quote me the prices in CAD and also suggestions for me please THANK YOU ALL CHANEL LOVERS!
Hey girls! Could anyone provide me pictures showing the difference between Jumbo, Medium, and Small flapbags? Would totally appreciate it because I’m getting my daughter a birthday present and would want to know which size is right for her!

Thanks Calisia for the info. I would like to know the price for the small classic Chanel flapbag in the UK. It says in the previous post that its £1700 including VAT for the medium. I was just wondering how far off it is from the small one. Thanks.
I dont know buzzmm, i didnt enquire for the small one, but i assume it will be in the price range of £1650 slightly more or less. You can try calling up the boutiques, the people are quite helpful.
Hi Chanelistas….
I have just purchased a jumbo (large) size chanel classic bag in blk caviar on wednesday in New York, but I have now decided to buy the maxi as I am tall and think this would look better!!! If anyone is interested in the bag please email me china_eyez1@yahoo.co.uk. After conversion to pounds I paid £1800 which was alot cheaper than dollars, including the box, bag, etc!!!
Thanks
hi there,
I checked with the UK Heathrow airport recently, a medium classic flab caviar is priced at £1,430 and 2.55 medium is £1,617. Prices are excluding VAT.
However, I realised that Europe (excluding UK) are generally the cheapest to get Chanel. A friend bought its wallet for me in Italy for only Euro280 before claiming back the 12% tax.
The wallet is selling for almost double the price in Singapore!!!
Hi guys! Just purchased the Large Classic Caviar flap bag with gold hardware for $2626.28 (tax included) yesterday. I fell in love with it the first time I laid my eyes on it
The tax was a whopping $200.00 (7.8% here in AZ) and I’ve noticed that its market value over the years never depreciate. I should have gotten this bag ages ago…Darn!
Hey I went to the bond street store on Thursday and was told the pice of the timeless classic flap in back with gold hardwear in jumbo is £1920 and I read some where the prices are going up at then end of november does anyone know if this is actually true?
Also my sister brought the medium flap bag a month ago from the bond street store and she paid £1795 black gold hardwear! I hope that helps!
Ive just recently bought the Jumbo Caviar in silver hardware for £1775, the lambskin i believe would be £1920 as Squid mentioned.
hey all, i just bought the chanel 2.55 classic flap medium from milan last sat at 1890 euros incl tax. Tax refund is 14% there. Unfortunately i wanted the large size but it is out of stock in black caviar or lambskin. Large is only available in brown caviar or mint green lambskin.
Hi all, I’m off to New York in December and am wondering whether it’d work out cheaper to buy any of the caviar classic flaps while I’m there or if it’d work out the same in Britain so I can save myself exchanging all my money into dollars and getting cheated (or if anyone has an idea of British and American prices)! Also are the prices set to change again??
Hi Diddy & Lonelyswan,
I’ve just became a member on this forum and after reading that both of you are going to NYC soon, I thought maybe I can help since I’ve just came back last week from NYC.
I went into Chanel in “SOHO” (139 Spring Street) and wanted to purchase my first Chanel Jumbo Classic Lambskin Bag w/Gold Hardware in Black but unfortunately the sales associate told me they were sold out and is currently backed up on stock. I would have to wait a few days. I would suggest both of you to check it out when you get there so if they need to order you, there will be time for it to arrive while your still there. I needed to leave the following day and wasn’t able to purchase it. To guarantee yourself one, you would need to put a deposit down and they even offer to ship it to where I live (I didn’t want to go with this method because I live in Canada – in a shaddy neighbourhood hahaa).
The price for the item that I wanted was $2,895.00 and depending in the area you are their taxes are different.
Good luck to both of you and hopefully you are able to fly home with a Chanel Bag.
Please keep me posted with items you bought from there; whether its a smaller size because I am interested to see if the price remained the same or if they increased!
Hi,
Thanks for the comment you dont by any chance remember how much the medium was or a smaller size?
Thank you
Hey i’m going to NYC in Nov too
is NY state tax free?
any1 has the price list?
You have to pay approx 8% tax on stuff in NYC, i got prices from the Chanel Boutique in Selfridges, Manchester the other day in £ (she only had £ and Euro prices, not $) – it seems to work out cheaper to get it in the UK so I’m buying mine before i fly over! Also said there was a 1-6 week waiting list for the black classic flap in either medium or large so I’d rather get it here before I go than go over and find it’s not in stock anyway!
Hope this helps…
sigh…
im not from UK, malaysian instead
wat about dubai airport? do u have any ideas?
anyway, thanks for your help!

I just purchased a jumbo caviar w/ silver hardware for 1875 euro in Madrid, Spain. Checked two locations at Paris, but none of them had them in stock. I’m guessing it would have been few euros cheaper in Paris, but I’m just glad I was able to buy one without waiting.

Hi, i am selling my Chanel classic flap bag, it is the jumbo sized one, beige with gold hardware. If anyone is interested please email me at farahparveen1@hotmail.co.uk
Also it is Lambskin not Caviar
Chanel just increased its prices by 10-15% on Nov.1, 2009.
the current price for the maxi caviar classic is 2650!
I just checked with the store on bloomingdales and they did NOT raise the price up!
its just a rumor.
i asked them and he said they are raising its price next year. so, if you are planning to buy the classic caviar in maxi size, buy it in 2009!
oh, its bloomies in new york.by the way!
not only are those not chanel style numbers, they are not correct prices eaither.
