A Chanel Price Increase on Timeless Classics Hits November 1st, 2018

We'd suggest you run to your local boutique and purchase before this increase hits

This isn’t a trick nor a treat, another major Chanel price increase will go into effect November 1st. There have been rumblings of yet another Chanel price increase on our forum for a while now, and let me tell you something – the ladies and gents on our forum are almost always right. Chanel price increases are notorious at this point, creating drama and chaos amongst shoppers who want to purchase an item before the price hike hits. This is coupled with outrage over the insanity of how quickly prices have grown. There is a lot of frustration that comes with it too, as shoppers believe they should be receiving better quality items to coincide with the price increase, but there are talks of quality issues which turn some shoppers away. Truth is, no matter how much people complain, it doesn’t seem to change the route Chanel is taking as the price increase are happening often and are substantial.

If you have your eye on a timeless classic including Boy Chanel and the Chanel 2.55 Bag, you may want to run to the store today and tomorrow before the price increase hits on November 1st. There have been conflicting reports, as the Chanel website started to change prices around October 18th, but the word is old prices are being honored until the new prices take effect on November 1st.

Earlier this month Chanel quietly increased some of its Minis and Small Leather Goods like card holders. I’ll work on compiling a list of those changes as well.

What does this increase look like? We’re looking at between just under 4% for a Chanel New Medium Boy Bag to a whooping 19% for a Classic WoC.

For a proper cringe, read about people reminiscing when they purchased their Chanel Medium Classic Flap for $2,850 in 2010. Ouch.
