While Chanel does increase their price usually yearly, they have not done so this year. Additionally, I personally do not see the boy as an enduring classic which will hold its value long term in the same way that the classic flap and 2.55 (reissue) bags have. I see this more like a seasonal bag in that respect. So while it may be "hot" now, I don't think it will be so very "hot" say, in 10 years. If you are worried about the price going up, most designer bags do go up, including Dior. Both are "due" for this to happen, as Dior has already increased the price of small leather goods much as Chanel has this year. Buy what you are in love with (sounds like that's the LD with pearls).
