Default Cheapest country to buy LV
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows which country sells LV the cheapest. I bought some from China and they're heaps more expensive than Hong Kong!!

Cheers

mebe we can do wat the 'geeks' do wif ranking ipod nano prices.... convert the price of a permanent line bag eg...a monogram canvas speedy 30 using the currency rate on say...xe.com and then we rank the countries in terms of price

That's a good idea. I had heard France had the best prices, but it would be interesting to actually do a comparison.

The mono canvas speedy 30 is $620 here in U.S.

LV France website lists the same bag at 415 Euros, which translates to $537.31 at today's rates.

LV UK has the mono canvas speedy 30 for 310 Pounds, which is roughly $612.57

I don't know how to find the prices in other countries...
