Cheapest country to buy LV

[Raphaël]

Eh oui c'est bien en France que les Vuitton sont les moins chers !!! lol
Yeah it's France...

[motorcyclegirl]

but don't forget if you buy abroad you have to pay costum fee when returning in your country - no???

except if you throw away box, receipt and dustbag and carry the bag during your travelling home, no???

Just bought one in HK today. $4800 HKD = $614.85 USD. In Canada they are $680 plus tax. Roughly $576.45 - $651 USD (depending on the amount of tax at where you live; with $651 including a 14% tax). I find it is definitely more expensive to buy in New York with the tax and exchange rate.

How about Amsterdam? Is it cheaper than United States? By how much?
Thanks!

It seems like all nations with Euro currency and nations within the european union and also the nations outside the union that are in that other union that I can't remember the name of (Norway Iceland and some other countries, perhaps suisse too.. ) are cheaper than any countries. France would be cheapest, then other countries using the euro, then countries like sweden, norways, UK, denmark, but the individual amount to spare will differ in these place due to the ups and downs of currencies.

France for sure and tourists can claim VAT back I think.

hello!
i bought my very first lv at the Hamburg store in Germany just last week. it was a speedy 25 damier and i paid 415 euros for it. but i got back 45 euros in taxes at the airport before i left.

so that means i got the speedy 25 for 370 euros = 478.446 usd (according to xe.com)

i think germany's offering a pretty good price no? :)

From my experience Australia is a teeny weeny bit more expensive than NZ.

so the list now is roughly
(1) France
(2) UK
(3) HK
(4) US
(5) Spore
(6) NZ
(7) Aussie
(8) Canada
(9) Japan

China is like 30 % more expensive than the price in HK, for sure!!!!!

Most pieces are the same as France, I know for sure yhe Speedy is...
But my pochette accesoires was 200 euro and in France 190 euro, but that is a small difference.
