Ok, I think that the price of Chanel increases with the price of oil.

[SIZE=-1]$66.02 per barrel in 2006
$72.30 per barrel in 2007
We're looking at averaging over $100 a barrel in 2008!!!

I just heard the same thing and that it will be another big one, around 22 percent. HOLY COW MANURE!!! It was said that Europe has already been hit, so if anyone can confirm this, please chime in. I asked what about if you're waitlisted and the price increase happens before the bag is received and shipped, what happens? (I think I know but I had to ask.) The answer was if it's a department store, they think it would be hard pressed for them not to honor the quoted price. Who knows about the boutiques or for that matter what the reality would truly be. I am waitlisted for one bag and that's it, done, kaput, fini, zilch, zero, done.

Yep, my SA said Chanel wants the classic bags to start around $3,000.

Yeah, and I want the stock market to go back up and the price of gas to go down. We all have our dreams.

Was speaking with an SA today and she was describing a gorgeous clutch; it's turquoise. When I asked the price -- over $3K. I laughed. I asked how are those coco croc's selling. They're not -- shocker!!

Chanel, if you're reading this forum -- take note. We're headed into a recession, so go ahead and shoot yourself wherever you feel like pointing your pistol. At such prices, consider backing off the production numbers. The U.S. market is sinking with each passing day, capice?

Phew, I feel better now :)

Design houses & retailers loathe the hoarding and reselling of their luxury goods. And I predict they will continue to raise prices as often as they'd like to keep their merchandise out of the hands of the resellers and the gray market. It is my personal belief that Chanel is trying to regain some semblance of control over their goods and the resellers who are buying up all their stock and selling it for a profit. Why wouldn't Chanel want to compete with the greedy tactics of the resellers?

This has gotten so out of hand. Also, it's not a matter of "if" the bag bubble will burst, but when.

I am reminded of the recent lawsuit filed against www.stubhub.com They scalp tickets. It's a grassroots campaign by one woman against the resellers. Of course one has to litigate to affect any change. I, for one, am rooting for the plaintiff.

When will the insanity end?.

that'll explain why the two reissues i ordered from paris today were £ 25 (approx $50) more expensive than the ones in the uk ~ got frustrated with not being able to get my 225's in london ~ it's a bit much another price increase so soon after the last one! :yucky:

As long as Chanel's bags "continue to fly off the shelves", because there is a network of resellers hoarding all the stock to sell for a profit on the online auction websites, they WILL continue to raise prices ad infinitum.

Chanel has proven they're willing to do whatever is necessary to keep their merchandise out of the hands of the resellers and the gray market.

hi! ~ this is interesting ~ personally i just wouldn't buy from these people ~ especially as they charge way over retail & there is usually very little comeback if anything goes wrong
