The VAT in here is 19% but I am not sure if you will get the whole amount back ... I heard that you might only be refunded around 12%.

Thanks for your answer.

Oops, I meant if they have the reissue, the one with the mademoiselle lock (instead of the classic flap double CC lock).

Wonder if Amsterdam has good selection of wallets on chain but in the black reissue form?

Yes, the reissue size 225 is the same price as the classic M/L lambskin which is Eur 1890. For the other reissue size, I don't really know.

When I went there last week, they have no WOC at all and only limited number of reissue. I don't know when you are planning to go there, it's better to give them a call in advance to check their stock. They usually get their shipment every Thursday/Friday

Anybody knows whether there will be a price increase in November?

Just back from the Amsterdam boutique. Corné is the best! He helped me track down the matte grey medium reissue camera bag. Am loving the bag! :) He also showed me this lovely cardigan from the Cruise '10 collection, which was adorable.

Anyway, he told me that he is not aware of any price increase in November. He did however tell me that they will only know about a price increase only a week ahead, but is not expecting one this month.

By the way, they had a reissue 225 and two 226 yesterday that had just arrived that morning. Both 226 were sold out within a couple of hours. One when I was there. It was grabbed out of my hands when I was simply admiring the beauty of the bag... (crazy! If looks could kill I would be dead now!)

By the way, just to check, is there only one Chanel store in Amsterdam?
Is it this one as per the Chanel website:

P.C. Hooftstraat 66 - 68
Amsterdam - 1071 CA
Phone: 020 - 3053777

Do I take it that the prices are inclusive of the 19% VAT and if as tourist, can claim back 12% of the VAT?

Last question: Can the VAT be claimed elsewhere, like at Heathrow Airport Terminal 3?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, there is only one Chanel store in Amsterdam. Those are the correct details you have there. The prices are including 19% VAT and I believe you can in fact claim back 12% if you are a tourist from outside the European Union.

I am not sure whether you can claim back VAT at Heathow Airport. Normally you will have to claim back VAT when you leave the country, but since The Netherlands is a member state of the European Union, it might be possible to claim back VAT at Heathrow. Maybe someone else knows???
