Chanel’s New Price Just Solidifies My Stance

As if they weren’t expensive enough, Chanel has plans to raise the prices of their handbags this month. The increase in price will vary from bag to bag, but could be as much as 15-20% on many bags according to Madison Avenue Spy. Moreover, Chanel plans to limit production to make their handbags scarcer and increase demand. This is yet another reason—not that we needed one—to opt for affordable replica Chanel handbags over the real thing. Designer handbags by Chanel and Louis Vuitton are already exorbitantly expensive—why do they only want to permit the super rich to look fabulous?
Adding Insult to Injury
If you were planning on buying a real Chanel handbag, it might already be too late to find one at its original price—not that it would be much better. Not to get too worked up about it, but this whole Chanel prices thing really ticks me off. The exclusivity of Chanel handbags—and Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and the list goes on—is just kind of repulsive. Sure, these bags are fabulous. Sure, these bags are high in quality. But are they worth the money? In nearly every single case, I would say not really. Unless you’re Paris Hilton and have more money than you know what to do with, there’s no logical reason to spend the kind of prices they’re asking for these designer handbags.
This is exactly why I don’t have any qualms with buying replica handbags. I’ll take the replica Chanel handbag, thank you. In fact, I’ll take two. What do you think of Chanel’s decision to raise their prices and decrease their production? Is this classic snobbishness or just good business savvy?
