I bought mine 3 days back but came home and noticed that the back pocket was slightly crooked and the lining on the interior seems to be bulging. Went in today to exchange it for another and there's no stock of CF's in the UK apparently and they told me they're not sure when they are going to receive the next one.
So are you allowed to wait for another one when the boutique has the stock and if by then the price is increased, do you need to pay the difference or no need?
I’ve been trying to buy one at the beginning of October with no success too.
 
Will the classic flaps also increase in Paris? Going to Paris in November and eyeing a classic medium... would it be better to purchase one in the US right now instead? Anyone with SA's in Paris? Any feedback will be appreciated!
 
IF prices don't increase in the EU and IF madisonavespy's post is accurate then here's some quick math on a medium classic flap...

Current EU price: €4800 or approx $5350 based on current exchange rates

Potential US price on Nov 1st: $6200; Assuming a 4-10% sales tax the total would be approx $6500-6800.

After the VAT refund US visitors to the EU are looking at an approx price of $4710. Let's say you end up paying US duty coming back...so the total would be $5000ish maybe $5100.

That's a savings of WELL over a $1000 (or $1500+) depending on which state you live in or buy in...and sometimes you get waved through by customs so a really lucky person could save even more! If you are in high sales tax area and you don't end up paying US duty you will save $2000.

If this happens, I guess Chanel is saying Goodbye to "price harmonization" and a lot of us will be saying hello to Europe for shopping!

$6200 for a m/l....so with tax, it'll be around $7000. That's nuts. The quality isn't there to support a price like this.

Plus, you know they will keep going up. 6 more price increases until we get to $10,000 for one bag....so 2026?

Eek. I'd like to say I'm done buying classics but if they come out with special colors I don't know if I'll be able to help myself!! Probably no more jumbo flaps for me though.. That's crazy. Especially with my state's ten percent sales tax
