Anyone from Singapore bought from Joanna at Prada Hawaii in the last 2 days?

hey ladies, can someone that has been or is living in Singapore please give me some advice? I am heading to Singapore next week and thinking of making a purchase from the Prada duty free store at Changi airport but after reading this thread will it be cheaper to purchase from Joanna in Hawaii? I'm from Australia so the prices are really marked up here.

Would be great to hear your opinions!
Thanks!

I think it depends on the model and current price - I heard Prada Hawaii has realigned their prices so the disparity may not be huge now. I bought my nappa gaufre tote from Joanna when they were offering a discount and I saved around $1500 compared to boutique price in Singapore. If you have a particular model in mind it be worth to call up the stores for a price check before you buy.
 
Oz $ is 30% higher than sgd$
U can claim tax which might b 5% (tax is 7%) but u don't get all back due to Svc charges etc
I will advise u to check with Joanne first n then when u come to sg check the price n compare
It might b cheaper for u here. For us when we buy frm Joanne we factored in 7% n shipping. I bought mine before they adjust their price to US stores. So I have no idea abt the diff now.
 
Does anyone know if Joanna still with prada? Wanna get something from her but she didn't reply my emails....

She does not work there anymore.
It's a bummer, because I think she is a super efficient SA! She keeps you updated with Sales. She answers all questions no matter how silly. She will do research on leather and past colors if needed. I love her!!!
Now that she no longer works there, another SA got in touch with me, and let me tell you this, he sucks! He is not on the same level of customer service as Joanna's.
Moving on...
