LSS global positioning?

Wow I recently returned from my trip to Singapore and then Japan. LSS in Singapore is marketed as a basic everyday throwaway bag, they are so cheap there, and popular with high school and college kids who can easily afford them with their pocket money. I'm referring to the basic ranges not Toki. When I asked a SA if the Boutique and Stella McCartney ranges ever reached their shores, he said no because LSS is never a premium brand.

In Tokyo, LSS prices are about double the prices of US after currency conversion! There is a LSS boutique in the heart of Harajuku, the fashion capital of Tokyo, along the same road that is dotted with international premium brands like Coach, Prada, etc. I saw the Stella McCartney bags on sale there, even the models that were quickly sold out before the launch here in US like the bunny backpack in the first print, are sold in abundance there. Prices are crazy way over the top!

For those of you residing outside US, Japan and Singapore, how are LSS prices and image like over at your side?

I heard the price in South Korea is about double the price in US too.

I visited the Taipei 101 when I was on vacation in Taiwan and I visited the LSS store and prices were high, esp. over US retail

There is a good selection of Lamore at Terminal 1 at the Taipei Airport. A few adios stars left at the Taipei 101 store. In the LSS store in Mongkok, Hong Kong, there are a few ciao, denaro and bocce in adio stars and Spiaggia.
