Look at the bright side, CB!
Think about how much you SAVED since you bought your items before the price went up!
Isn't this the same logic we use to justify going to sales/discount events? (At least I do! And DH ends up just scratching his head!
)
Yeah, look at fuel! $3.03 a gallon here in Arkansas... even clothing, food... remember when milk was $1.29 a gallon?

so true dear.... We really can't afford NOT to buy!!
Why, I have saved a fortune in small leather goods alone.
Thank you AAB, I feel so much better now!
I am going to go to ebay right now to see how much more money I can save, LOL
The one I was referring to above was L'Hiver en Poste. I think it's the later reissue, not the 1975 original issue, based on the $175 price tag, but the NM care tags look early? I'm not sure of the date on it at all.
The other 2 that followed me home were Pont-Neuf a Paris in good condition, and a Napoleon in brand new condition (It has to be the 1985 or 95 reissue, by the feel and colors.)
I left Promenade de Longchamps, Chasse a Tir, Pampa, and a great Watrigant behind. There were 50 scarves in the group, and the collector was clearly a fan of Ledoux.
Eumh.. So how about european prices? in particular the ones in France /other euro countries?

Yeah! I better call my SA to find out if there are opportunities for me to SAVE MORE money by buying sooner than later.
Hmm, I thought my first scarf was under $100. That would be from a duty free shop eons ago. Then I paid $125 for a long time. My other earlier purchases were agendas and key chains - some for gifts. The favorite sterling key chain I bought for $125 in the late 80's would be about $650 now( if I coulld find it). I didn't start buying handbags until much later. I thought they were too matronly . My first Birkin was about $3000. I thought two would be enough. Little did I know....
The horrible exchange rate has given me a new appreciation for what I have.

I bought my first authentic Birkin in 2002 from Boston Hermes and it was $5350 for a BJ 40cm in togo. I was so green then and felt so overwhelmed with guilt that I decided to sell it and almost consigned it new for $5000 (I had no clue of the premium they commanded), but decided to ask for what I paid including the tax. I thought I was pushing it since nothing ever sells for over retail once it leaves a traditional retailers and you try and sell as an individual. I started to get a clue when the consignor paid me on the spot and later to my dismay I saw that she had sold it for $11-13K more than double the price I paid.

The price increases here in Europe, for Hermès, are 8-10% each 1st January!
I paid my first 32 Box Kelly in 1980, the equivalent of 400 euro roughly, (we didn't have the Euro back then) But I can assure you it was A LOT of money then aswell; inflation gallops, and also here in Italy when we changed from Lire to Euro (in 2001) prices doubled almost over night; i.e. what you payed 1000 Lire (roughly 50 cents of an Euro) you suddenly, payed 1 Euro
. Obviously lots of people speculated on this currency change.
