Will there be Another Price increase in Europe for Chanel in 2022?
With the year halfway over, I’m unsure if there will be another Price increase for Chanel in Europe. Perhaps, there will be a price increase in the US, although once again I can’t be sure because I don’t have a crystal ball. With that being said, with Chanel you never know, as we’ve seen in the past, their price increases are often and typically unannounced.
Is a Chanel Bag still worth the price?
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, it’s definitely still worth it to purchase a Chanel bag even with a price increase. As you’ve seen from the last couple of years, Chanel has been constantly increasing their price at least once a year. I always tell people if you are thinking about purchasing a Chanel bag the best time to do it is now. I know from past experience being frustrated that I waited to purchase a bag and then there was a price increase and I was frustrated I didn’t purchase it then.
In my opinion, now the time to buy a Chanel bag secondhand. Okay, hear me out, the preloved websites that sell Chanel bags probably haven’t had time to react super quickly to the European price increase. With that being said, now is a good time to purchase a Chanel bag on the preloved market. My favorite places to buy the Preloved Chanel bags include: Fashionphile, The RealReal, and What Goes Around Comes NYC!
