ya but...imo this is simply shameful. very much in bad taste given the current economic climate

I totally agree with you, I am still « shock ».. If they decide 2,3% ok but 17%!! If someone else got that info please share with us. I really hope it’s not only for Europe but worldwide too otherwise it will be even more disgusting.

Well they been loosing money, help produce protections. We all agree that an increase know is ridiculous but 17% it’s insane. A 19 bag will be the price of a small Constance and a timeless less then 500€ of a 25 birkin/Kelly.

They are losing money?

For sure for example in France the employees were getting the salary for April. They were creating masks, protections, the rent of the boutiques. They don’t have an online website no sell. Is that a reason to do a price increase of course no.. It’s disrespectful taking customer for idiots..

LV also had a price increase. Absolutely disgusting and in bad taste given the current situation. Well I for one am putting a hard pause on anything luxury.

I just purchased my beige Clair and I have zero regrets! There are pre-use care steps that you can take to maintain and protect the quality of your bag. I sprayed carbon pro on it to prevent and make sure there is no color transfer to the bag when I wear jeans. I also condition/buff/air my bags annually on National Handbag Day. Other than that, I use them and have never experienced any issues. Get the Beige Clair in GHW! You’ll have zero regrets!

what is this carbon pro? I would love to hear what could possibly limit color transfer

I was really pissed off with LV price increase .. but not anymore considering 17% increase ..

I think there is a level for greed and this is beyond ridiculous ..

People will still buy as we will forget and move past and resellers will mark up even more but what is the point ! End of the day these are just bags and shoes

I don’t understand... so then the price increase will also change the preorder prices for the 20A collection that is coming up??

After reading this, I checked in with my store manager who reluctantly confirmed. They got informed today (not sure I believe this) and were caught off guard. The increase will mainly affect the Classics and RTW. I asked if it was 17% across all categories and was told they could not confirm in writing as this was still confidential. They said seasonals‘ prices would likely not increase immediately, but I expect new seasonal models to come with a higher price tag. I am shocked. I was already hesitant to buy new after purchasing my first Chanel moons ago when prices were still moderate. However, this is a business practice I no longer tolerate, especially during these times and Chanel loudly announcing they would not need financial help but weeks later trying to recoup money from already suffering customers. I have shared my sentiment with the local management and hope others do, too.

Who would have thought that customers have to pay for their ‘generosity’ with regards to their employees? What a joke.

I’m glad that I’m basically done with my collection anyway. Off to Dior ;D

Their target clientele are those who have been been cooped up at home during the lockdown period... all dying to visit Chanel boutiques to spend money once shops are allowed to open. Many will flock to Chanel the moment they are back to business.

Agree. Plus better customers pay than taxpayers...still shocking

Has anyone confirmed the price increase in the US?

 

[Mrs.Z]

I believe they equalized their prices across the globe so I imagine the increase will be in all markets.

I think they will lose some customers and they don’t care, some will still buy. It’s a weird time to raise prices for sure especially with many reevaluating how luxury fits into their life and if they even have places to wear their pieces.
