Chanel Price Increase 2021
For about two weeks now, rumors have been circulating about the possible Chanel price increase in the United States. Well, today we’ve learnt, that indeed, those weren’t rumors. As of January 15, 2021, Chanel handbag prices in the United States have officially increased again. Luckily, this time the increase was only 3-7 percent across the classic and popular styles, which seems like your typical yearly price increase. However, let’s not forget, that this is the second major Chanel price increase in the US over the last year. In May 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, Chanel has surprised us with an absolutely outrageous price increase. The superstar of the last price increase was, without a doubt, the Chanel Mini Classic Square Flap, which went up in price for whopping 20%. What can I say… I am still pretty saddened I couldn’t get my hands on one before the last price increase hit!
The January 2021 price increase affects the classic and popular Chanel handbag styles, from Classic Flaps to trending styles, like the Chanel 19. While 3-7 percent price hikes don’t feel that substantial at first, as soon as you start comparing the old and new prices, you notice the difference. See it yourself! Below I present you the detailed comparison between the old and new Chanel prices as of January 2021.
