I was at the Chanel 57th street store yesterday and they said the U.S. is safe for now as far as any price increases is concerned.

how was the stock for the classics? hoping to snag a reissue soon but want to try on a CF and boy too haha just to be sure with my decision

Did they say for the rest of the year? I keep hearing there's going to be one in June/July...

Can somebody please share the price of the following bags in Europe now:

PST
PTT
Medallion
Easy Flap Bag

Thanks in advance!

PST was last fall/winter a seasonal bag 1500 euro (old price)
PTT is discontinued
Medallion is discontinued
Easy Flap Bag also seasonal bag from last fall/winter

The price increase from 8th April was for classics, reissues, GST, WOC and Boy, other bags will increase in price later.

They said for now but that doesn't mean that they won't increase by end of year. Both Chanel and neiman Marcus said they have heard prices in US will remain the same.

They had a few classic flaps and seem to get shipments every few days. Sorry I didn't ask about the reissue. They also had lots of the chevron flaps.

The Soho store had a good number of classics and even some GSTs.

They also had boys in chevron. The quilted boy in black has been sold out for months now. Good luck in your purchase

Not that my opinion matters to Chanel, but I will be very surprised if prices in the US goes up this year. That would defeat the purpose of harmonizing prices globally as prices in Europe will again be significantly lower. And I also do not see them increasing prices in Europe again this year - that will for sure drive away local customers...

Are they helpful at that location?

To be completely honest they were more concerned about getting the sale and moving onto the next customer.

I definitely see your point.

I heard the store on 57th is atrocious. And my comment isn't meant to offend anyone with good SAs at that location. I've just heard that the stereotypical judgements are intensified at that store. I've never visited either, and admittedly, I'm not racing to get through their doors...

I agree with this. I think it's just typical price increase hype.

Besides, Chanel actually decreased prices in some Asian countries, making prices in those countries lower than in the US when they used to be higher than the US!

I am actually annoyed that Chanel did not decrease prices in the US to be more similar to the prices in Europe and some Asian countries. Also, if the USD further strengthens in the near future, the gap between US prices and prices in those countries are going to widen further!

I find Chanel prices ridiculous, but decrease would make it more acceptable and devalue the brand. We already see Chanel everywhere, with decrease, it'd be oversaturated. My 2 cents
