MILAN/PARIS (Reuters) - French luxury house Chanel said on Wednesday it was increasing prices on its handbags and some small leather goods worldwide to take into account a rise in the cost of raw materials amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In an emailed statement responding to a Reuters query, Chanel said the price increases in euros ranged between 5% and 17%.
"The price adjustments only regard Chanel's iconic handbags, 11.12 and 2.55, as well as Boy, Gabrielle, Chanel 19 bags and certain small leather goods," it said.
"These adjustments are made while ensuring that we avoid excessive price differentials between countries, in line with our commitments regarding price harmonization."
