Today, Chanel increased its prices for 2023, and we are here to share which bags are affected and by how much. It came as a surprise to absolutely no one, but considering the latest hikes for Chanel bags, it’s hard not to wonder when and if the price increases will see an end.

Chanel 2023 Price Increase Explained

Chanel’s chief financial officer, Philippe Blondiaux, has shared insights into the Chanel price increases. Last summer, he said the brand could implement a price increase “to account for currency fluctuations and inflation.” Moreover, he hasn’t shied away from speaking on the increase in being a part of the brand.

The twice-a-year increase has become something expected by customers over the past years as common practice. When asked about the increase’s reasoning, Blondiaux shared with WWD that “We usually revise our prices twice a year. That’s what we’ve always done and will continue to do.”

In 2022, Chanel maintained the double-digit revenue growth it has accustomed to, even with the closure of stores in Russia and China. However, when looking at the numbers, research analysts for Jefferies shared that the sales uplift the brand has seen could be due to the 21-30% increase in pricing on its bags over the past couple of years versus the overall volume in sales.

Chanel Classic Flap Price Increase

The Chanel Classic Flap is increasing in price by 12-17%, depending on size.

The New Chanel Prices and What is Affected

The increase was steep! Steep enough that the only Classic Flap under $10,000 is the small size, with the Maxi reaching the $11,000 mark now. The Classics were hit with a 16% increase, soaring prices above $10,000 for most. The Coco Handle, Chanel 19, and the Pearl Crush were all given a 14% increase across the board.

This was a global increase, affecting many markets. Below you can find the new, updated prices of Chanel Bags for 2023.

Impact on the Chanel Consumer

The price increases are partly due to Chanel’s desire to become more exclusive. However, the rate at which these bags have increased has turned many off. Customers of the brand have a hard time stomaching paying nearly $1,000 more for the same bag overnight. Additionally, the frequency and the secrecy of the price increases have some turned off as well.

One user on our forum shared that “when Tiffany’s had a price increase, my SA let me know weeks in advance. I feel like Chanel just wants us to keep spending more. I just can’t help but feel like I’m in an emotionally abusive relationship.”

While other brands also implement increases, Chanel seems to be in a league of its own with the percentage and consistency of increases. Though the brand has worked for worldwide price equality, the new prices put these bags on par with Hermès pricing and as reported by many, out of reach.

Final Thoughts

While many feel negative about the price increase, plenty will begrudgingly pay more for the bags they have been eying and others won’t even bat an eye. Chanel understands its core customer well, one they will confidently retain while reaching new luxury customers.

In-store, plenty of bags are still sold before they ever hit the shelves, letting you know that while these increases are a broadly criticized practice by the brand, it isn’t pricing out its core audience from buying Chanel.

The problem is that I am embarrassed to use them now. Before all this, Chanel classics were just right for everyday life (slightly elevated I concede) and was perfect for travel. They are less structured and lighter. Now, I don’t want to wear something around that costs more than maybe someone’s car. It feels insensitive and casts the wrong image. So I use mine much less often now. Sigh.

I feel no guilt whatsoever. I have worked hard my entire life and wasn’t able to afford a CHANEL until I was 51. I had paid off college tuition for both of my children and have zero debt(except my mortgage) and have earned these bags. People can think me insensitive or whatever they wish. I can’t control that. If they want to judge me on a handbag, so be it.

That’s great, but not everyone has had the privilege to work their entire life to afford one of these bags, just saying. We live in a society, and with that does (or rather should) come having worldly knowledge, prudence and responsibility. Not to be blatantly ignorant. These prices are just getting so ridiculous, I have no idea who is going to feel safe wearing Chanel handbags.

Worldly knowledge? Prudence:? It’s just a bag. I don’t feel the need for worldy knowledge before buying a bag. Again…. it’s just a bag. I am perfectly safe where I live. Where do you live? If you can’t be safe walking from your car into a grocery store or down the street carrying a nice bag, perhaps you should move or vote better leaders and DA’s into your state. Futhermore, I didn’t have to work my entire life to afford my bags. At least, I hope not(I’m 52) I just had more important things to pay for. I guess I should have written “justify buying”. So prudent and responsible, I am. Blatantly ignorant I am not. I have done very well for myself. Yes, the prices are crazy, but I can afford them and am willing to pay these prices, if I choose. What I don’t do is judge others for what they do. You should try it.

Why are so many worried about what others think? You must be young. That all goes away as you age and see how silly it is to worry about such things. People are going to judge you no matter what. Carry those bags proudly. You spend your money on whatever you desire and make no apologies. Life is too short.

Yes!! I was just talking to my friend about that – its feels sooo elitist– I also am embarrassed to carry mine as well — its just too much — I have lost respect for Chanel’s greed – I don’t want to belong to that club anymore — perhaps i will now purchase some of the seasonal pieces which can be alot of fun – but forget the classics– btw— have you noticed how many classics are being sold on the ‘pre-owned’ websites!! The market is flooded with them anyway!

Great sell them to me. If they are in excellent shape & the style I want, I will buy them all! I don’t care what people think. So they think I’ve done well for myself. I see nothing wrong with that. You’ve let people that either can’t afford them or full their own virtue get into your head. Life is too short to allow that.

Adjusted to inflation Chanel has long been as much as some people’s cars. The idea that it suddenly reflects elitism is laughable and dishonest. A leather purse sold for anything more than a few hundred dollars much less thousands has always been about elitism /implied brand status and brand identity. As much as I love Chanel there are no Chanel bags that are actually worth 2k or 6k in terms of quality so the idea that suddenly the bags are too much is silly. Just own that it’s more than you/others want to pay. Stop the virtue signaling and lying to ourselves that we spent thousands on one bag because of “quality”. Own it, wear your bags. Not wearing a Chanel bag is not going to create equality or the disparity between rich and poor. How you vote, who you elect, the organizations you’re part of, the community initiatives you’re part of will affect change…that’s if folks really care.

Exactly! Although, I’ve paid a few hundred for say a Coach bag, and it doesn’t compare to my CHANEL BAGS. It just doesn’t. I don’t think they are worth what they are charging now, however. I have them because I love them and I am in a position where I can have them. I came from nothing. I don’t have a college degree, but both of my kids do. I am at a point where I carry no debt, my kids have been educated and are doing well, my cars are paid off, I have a nice retirement and I travel where ever and whenever I want. I can’t take my money with me & my kids don’t need it, Nice bags make me happy. So I will own it and wear them every chance I get. Hate to turn this political but, I believe in Capitalism. I believe that if you work hard enough, you too can have what I have. So the people that judge, need to stop all of the judgment and get to work, so that they too, can have the things they want. Handouts and pitty isn’t going to save them either.

Let’s not forget that employees are now demanding crazy wages and benefits. That cost is passed onto the consumer. It used to be 60K plus medial benefits was good pay to work in a factory. Now folks think they should be makiing 100k plus medical benefits, 3 months maternity leave, 12 personal days etc…. Someone has to pay their wages and union fees.

Stop shaming people for living their lives and spending the money that they earned the way they wish to spend it! I grew up dirt poor raised by a single mother in Baltimore City. No one helped me and I came out just fine. Probably because no one pittied me. I was taught to work hard for the things I wanted. Guess what, it worked. People don’t want or need your pitty. Gia was merely saying that life is short. Enjoy it. Do what makes you happy. How do you know that she doesn’t donate to those in need too?

Is it insensitive for her to commit to wearing her bags regardless or is it virtue signaling performative to think that not wearing a certain bag actually makes things better. Most people (including certain keyboard warriors…) want to virtue signal and shame others meanwhile the actual work that lends to a more equatable and fair society is overlooked. A lot of people would rather “look” and “sound” like they care than actually do the work necessary to facilitate greater equality partly because some of that work points to the privilege that allows someone to sit at home and think that their choice of bag is what will make a difference to those struggling.

Insensitive bc people struggle?
i don’t live in a communist country nor do I ever want to. As the globalists say, “you will own nothing and like it.”
owning and wearing luxury has nothing to do with being sensitive to others. BC others are not in a position to buy Chanel means I have to dress down for them to make them comfortable???
That is why the rich have rich friends. So they are not having to accommodate someone who doesn’t wear the same items. I wear wear what I like according to the occasion and look my best. Looking my best is also out of respect to others. So you do you. As you say I’m so I sensitive, how much do you donate? Or volunteer or give food to the homeless begging on the street. Then sell your car and take the bus.

Honestly, i have been considering a Chanel bag for my collection several years and i always feel lazy last moment before buying it. Now every time i open Social Media I am bombed with Hermes and Chanel bags unboxings etc. It has become a very vulgar brand for me. It lacks any exclusivity anymore. I see it as a way for NEW RICH to behave like sheep in a herd all buying the same stuff to feel they prove to the world they have money.
I am not interested anymore in Chanel as a bag lover. Much rather buy Loewe that has even better quality, a classic elegant vibe and less visible logos.

If only the quality went up rather than just the price.

I should not have to inspect a bag at that price before I purchase it. I’ve turned down a couple of popular bags because of flaws. Even my SA agreed!

Quality doesn’t justify these prices. Love them but it’s not the quality of Hermes.

Read the article above for Chanel reasons for the steep hike. Boils down to two main reasons:

1. Maintain brand exclusivity with the steep prices so that only the ones who can afford will continue to buy.

2. Increase profit margin by selling fewer bags by charging higher selling price>
Chanel strategy is now to focus only on that segment of customer who aren’t price sensitive at all and will continue to buy despite price hikes . Never mind the potental fall in sales revenue from lesser buying from average Joe coz the increase in price hike will more than cover that fall in revenue from this ltter group of consumers. Also research shows that the super wealthy contribute around 40% of Chanel’s revenue.

I think there are more “average Joe’s” than super wealthy consumers. If Chanel wants to cater to the super wealthy maybe in time they will get bored of the brand and/or the high prices for inferior quality, which is becoming the norm.
