As if they weren't expensive enough! But reports out today claim Chanel have increased the price of their bags by 20%. For those who money is no object it isn't that much of an issue, but it's a big deal for those of us who would consider investing in a classic to last us years. Rather than saving a somewhat reasonable £1,600 (it is Chanel afterall!) for a classic 2.55 it will now cost a staggering £2,045 - which is a giant leap away from the original price. Chanel have put it down to the need to keep the brand luxurious and maintain it's difference from the high street - which is kind of understandable.
Is it just a method of creating that 'I can't have so I want so much more' frame of mind? Or is there ever going to be a 'too much' when it comes to the likes of Chanel?
