Just want to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone on this forum and I hope every one is having a wonderful time!!!!!!!!!!!

HOWEVER Hate to be the Debbie Downer but it must be asked...does any one know when the price increase takes effect (and what %)? More specifically...will the belts go up in price? I want a constance/5382 belt (whichever one has the H corners stick out on both sides) which I never got around to buying this year and now that I am getting off my butt...it is almost the new year! Am I doomed to pay 10% (?) more?

I think most things go up 10%

Price increase takes effect on 1 Jan 2008 for my store. Starting with bags first .... and progressively move on to other stuff. 15-20%.

If you reside in the US, it will be at least 10%. Unfortunately we're at the mercy of the €.

Will it be 5% on Jan and another 5% in Aug or Sep? Or 10% in 1st Jan?

Thank you every one...I do live in the US :) So just bags for january?

eeeek. forgot all about this kind of good stuff that come with new year! merry..mmm..xmas!!! hehe!!

Like you, I have that SUPER POWER/ABILITY to ignore price tags! However, I am married to someone who doesn't have that particular super power.... One redeeming factor is that he also LOVES my bag collection, especially the matte croc ones!

I asked to be gifted scarves for my birthday and Christmas. We know the prices are going up, but if they really jump, I thought it would hurt (translate: piss me off) to pay that big % for a scarf that I could get at this years price.
