Well my BFF (i hate that term but we are lol) is going to New York in June, since the price of Hermes is so expensive and usually out of my budget (esp. here in oz.) I was wondering what the price is of an H belt in the US. I cant remember exactly but down her its either AU 790 or 890 (for a non-exotic.) I was wondering how much the belts are in NY, what the tax refund scheme is (if there is one.) Would it be too difficult to put one on hold for him to pick up, or how does that system work. Would you ladies mind making some leather and color suggestions. (i am a guy btw) TIA
