is it worth going..

..to paris say for day trip just to purchase my LV? i am currently in the UK. does the price much cheaper over there compared to here?

aliburke84 · Sep 4th, 2008, 04:51 PM

i know that flights within europe can be quite cheap, but i'm gonna go ahead and say it's not worth it JUST to save money. you'll end up paying more than you save. but...if you absolutely love paris (how can you not?) and do other fun stuff while you're there then it might be nice

and can i please say how freaking jealous i am that you can go to paris for a day trip?!

Well, it's Paris...GO! Think of the extra money you're shelling out as part of the entire experience!

I can only compare it to Germany. France is a little bit cheaper but not as much as to justify a trip only to purchase LV.

Why don't you take a look at the french e-store on louisvuitton.com, they have all the prices listed (including vat).

I'd go for a weekend, rather than just a day!

Im going to Paris in a month.. Not just for LV, but primary..

Lol.. I know I wont be saving alot, but it is also the experience of buying in the "mothership"..

LVobsessed415 · Sep 4th, 2008, 05:30 PM

I would make a mini trip out of it, go at least 2 days

styloboy · Sep 4th, 2008, 05:36 PM

When I go to Paris it also just for a day, but I find that even you won't save as much as it costs you, it's just great to go to Paris for a day and shop in Louis Vuitton Chaps-Elysees or on the Avenue de Montaigne (Best boutiqu in Paris in my opinion) and it's well worth the travel

Wow. To even to be able to seriously ask the question is a dream of many here, I am pretty sure.

Sweet! A Paris day trip. oooh la la

SweetPurple · Sep 4th, 2008, 05:38 PM

It's Paris! Of course it's worth it!

gingerbreadman · Sep 4th, 2008, 06:10 PM

thanks all for your reply

we've been to paris twice (last in june). thats when i went into LV boutique and fell in love with it. i did not buy anything tho

so thought probably can go back and this time for a Very good reason

kenzo89 · Sep 5th, 2008, 07:59 PM

You won't save much IMO, so if you're going for that reason alone then no it's not worth it but if you want to buy from the Mothership etc then definitely. The Champs Elysse store is absolutely stunning.
