Selling your Chanel bag: What you need to know | SACLÀB

The right moment to sell
Besides their emotional (and sartorial) value, Chanel bags are a reliable financial investment. If you’re contemplating to re-sell, setting the right price is essential – finding the sweet spot between your personal expectations and shoppers’ willingness to pay. The good news: Demand is rising, but supply is limited. A great moment to rotate your collection.
New quota system
Rumours of a new quota system for Chanel’s Classic Flap bag were confirmed by forum PurseBop earlier this year, alerting the French fashion house’s fans. The new strategy intends to limit buyers to purchasing two Classic Flap bags a year. Looking at the demand for second-hand bags from competitor Hermès, this will surely cause a hike in desirability and resale prices.
Regular price increases
Moreover, news of the quota system hit after yet another price increase was announced in March 2022, raising the store price of a Medium Classic Flap bag to a whopping €8,250 (for reference, in 2019 it would have cost you €5,150).

Limited supply of Lagerfeld-era bags
You’re looking to sell a bag crafted before 2019? According to a report issued by Credit Suisse and Deloitte titled ‘Collectibles amid heightened uncertainty and inflation’ the scarcity of Karl Lagerfeld’s creations potentially boosted the 24.5% increase in annual returns for Chanel handbags in 2021. Appointed Chanel’s creative director in 1983, the designer passed away in February 2019. He imagined iconic Chanel bags such as the 2.55 Reissue, the Timeless Classic Flap and Boy bag.
