Excerpt from an article I just recieved:


To meet demand, fashion houses are aggressively opening shops again after a long hiatus. Louis Vuitton recently inaugurated a new boutique in Budapest, while Valentino and Ferragamo signed leases in India. French fashion house Hermes International is expanding its flagship Paris boutique so it will take up half a block.

I bet I'm not the only one here thrilled to hear this! Group excursion to Paris, anyone??

WHAAAT? WHEN IS THIS HAPPENING? :drool: ...Sorry for the shouting, I'm a bit excited. Half a block of Hermes??? Sheesh! Imagine how much the real estate is worth in Fauborg St Honore for them to do that. :wtf:

Any chance of a group tour in 2008 or is that too long for everyone? :jammin:

Was that from the WSJ? I read that too, GF! Did you also read about the 300 craftsmen, etc? A very informative article...I was surprised at the amount of work that goes into the Reade tote! (LV)

BTW....Serenity Sue & I are meeting up for a Hermes-a-thon when I come down for Spring Racing Carnival......want to join in???????

GF - How about you organise an Oz chapter meeting sometime in '07?

I'd fly in (only 8 hours and could definitely do with more flying to keep my airline frequent flier status), and SerenitySue and I were tempting SoCal to do so on a RTW trip.....

You guys seem to have incredible merchandise in store (croc bags?? I can't believe it) althought the prices in Oz seem pretty stratospheric.

yeah the prices are crazy, but I reckon we should still do it....best bet is we all meet up at the Gold Coast - two stores (one is the size of a closet, but seems to always have an exotic bag or two), and they usually carry the best stock.......

tell me when, I'm a FABULOUS event organiser, if I do say so myself! LOL!

they also hired 300 more craftsmen to speed up production, per the wall st. journal today.
LV is switching to assembly-style production - hopefully hermes will not follow suit.
