I believe the prices for the Saks Chanel boutiques went up already on Nov 1st, I confirmed it person w/ Cherry at the Saks in Santa Barbara. But, if you're "close" to a SA ... I think they could "help". Because I asked about the flaps going up in price.. and she said if I was interested... she could get it at pre-increase for me.. but that was on Nov 1st when I asked, (dont know if that makes a difference)
