Thanks everyone!
pinkish_love said:Yes, i always buy my LV bags from europe. but ofcourse france is 10% cheaper than rest of europe. The way it works is that LV adds 10% to its prices outside france (within europe) and then another 10% when it comes to middle east and the US. this what i was told from LV in london.
mercx5 said:Lv is the cheapest in Paris. If you a tourist, you can get a VAT refund of 12% (on the purchase price) when you leave Paris. Just get the SA to fill up the VAT refund form for you and proceed to the CUstoms counter at the airport when you are leaving Paris. You can opt ot receive cash or card credit of 12% on purchases of LV.
For example, if you spend Euros 100 in LV, you will get back a further Euros 12 at the Customs counter. This makes LVs in Paris the cheapest in the world. Factoring in the prices and the VAT refund, prices in LV are approximately cheaper by 30% in Paris compared to where I live. I kid you not. Hope this helps.
