Saint Laurent has just increased all his bags by 200 euros. Valentine did the same a few months ago. Celine has increased prices twice in just three months. Chanel had an increment between 5% and 17% during the last years, always on bags. To give you an idea of how impactful these changes are let’s take an example, the Chanel icon 2.55 bag has gone from € 6,050 to € 7,800. More than a thousand euros difference! Same goes for the Lady Dior, from € 3.400 to € 4.200.
What’s going on? There are those who say that this increase is due to the lack of raw materials or complications regarding logistics. Others assume that the price is raised to increase the perceived value of the brand. Others, however, raise the price simply to keep up with their competitors. Do you think?
How much exclusive will be these already super exclusive bags?
