June 15, 2026: tracking the trailing-12-month discontinuation pipeline
1 model-level discontinuation events recorded in the trailing 365 days. Average price impact: +10.3%.
Today's discontinuation watch rolls up 1 model-level events recorded in the Bagonomics database over the trailing 365 days. Discontinuation is one of the strongest single signals in luxury-handbag price analysis — affected configurations historically compound above active production over multi-year horizons. Average documented price impact across the events with both pre- and post-event medians: +10.3%.
Key findings
- 01Discontinuation events in trailing 12 months: 1.
- 02Average documented price impact: +10.3%.
- 03Maximum recorded impact: +10.3%; minimum: +10.3%.
A discontinuation event is the moment a manufacturer stops producing a model or variant. From that point forward boutique retail is no longer an option for new buyers; the only path to ownership is the secondary market. Across our coverage, the base-rate price impact of a discontinuation is meaningfully positive — supply ends while demand persists.
Events recorded in the trailing 365 days
| Date | Brand | Model | Type | Price impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-02-01 | Chanel | 22 Bag | redesign | +10.3% |
What the readings imply
The average documented price impact of +10.3% across the recorded events is consistent with the long-run pattern: discontinuation creates a real, persistent floor under secondary prices. Configurations with strong pre-event liquidity and iconic-model status typically see the largest compounding.
The Discontinued Index
The Discontinued Index is our basket-level benchmark for the post-discontinuation price trajectory across coverage. It captures the aggregate effect: how much, on average, do recently-discontinued configurations compound versus the broader bag market.

Methodology
Part of the Bagonomics daily editorial rotation — a 14-day cycle of daily research pieces. Each day's slot is selected from the rotation by day-of-year so the same calendar date always lands on the same topic. Data is frozen at publication; live numbers are visible on the linked entity pages. Discontinuation events are recorded with a date, an event type, and where available the pre-event and post-event 90-day median prices. The price-impact figure is computed as the percentage change between the two medians. Events where the post-event median is not yet available are shown with a dash.
