Price increase

Sadly, yes. The medium nappa Cabat now costs HK$44,800. It was HK$41,000 a month or so ago.
Last week I was in Paris and visited BV store at Rue FSH and the SA told me about this price increase in Europe, to be effective in early Nov.
I am so much in love with the four classic bags that I own, that I really don't see the need to spend way too much money for another one, as gorgeous as they are.
While doing research on a BV bag, I noticed that on the BV website, it is about $300 more than what it is CURRENTLY listed for on Saks, NM.com, etc. It is exactly the same bag, material, color, and size. Based on my calculations, that is a little over a 10% price increase. Not to mention that it will increase the sales tax, too. With the difference, I could buy a nice little SLG on sale.
Also, I always wonder why is it that when some department stores mark down a BV item, it is still selling at regular price, if it is on BV.com.

My new dream bag is the BV moro roma which is in stock at Holts right now. It's $3400 USD on the BV website but it's $3795 CDN at Holts. I believe this is the insane Canadian mark up and not a price increase but not sure.
On average, higher end indie bag designers are marked up about $30, $50, $75 or $100 more (but a few brands aren't marked up in CDN funds at all). But I am really horrified at how badly the Bottega bags are marked up

You should email Peggy Urban at Nordstrom Seattle and see if she can get it for you, than come on down for a visit!
bebecu, I think you make a very good point! Just a couple years ago when I first started buying BV there were several bags under the $2000 price point. Now they are really getting into the 3000-5000 for regular bags.
Anyone knows?
