I search the forum for Hawaii pricing and the thread was a year old (of course unless I missed it). What's the Hawaii pricing compared to the US pricing. Does different Island have different tax? My friend is going to Hawaii (Oahu) this Sept and I want him to buy me a Multiple Wallet for my husband. Does anyone know the price (in Oahu) after taxes?
Thanks so much.

Different islands in HI have different tax. If you're friend is going to Oahu, why don't you just contact the LV stores in Oahu and ask the price/availability of the item that you want. They can also tell you the exact tax rate for their city.

I went to Maui last year and called ahead to verify the price of the Damier Neverfull and tax rate. The SA offered to hold the purse for me since I was arriving in Maui two days later.

Just make sure when you contact the Oahu LV store that you are talking to an SA that actually works in that Oahu store. Sometimes when you call LV, the main 800 number phone reps pick up the phone lines for the individual stores, so you may not actually be talking to someone at the actual store.

HI pricing is cheaper than continental U.S. pricing since Hawaii is considered a separate region. And tax rate, I believe, is in the 4% range but depends on the HI island.

State of Hawaii tax is 4.71% and LV is on average 9.5% cheaper than the mainland.

I might be in HI next month and hoping to get either of the two there.
Also, anyone know how long the flight is from Japan to HI? LOL

Anyone know the price of the vernis zcp, mono sarah wallet, and mono zippy wallet?

I purchased a Damier Eva in Maui at the LV Boutique at the Whaler Shops. The price was $50.00 less than in California - plus the added savings of reduced sales tax.

just to add: oahu sales tax is about 4.7% and the rest of the islands is 4.16%
