Hi ladies. Do you know whether VCA is less expensive in France as it is in the US? I am planning a trip to Paris.
My view is if Hermes is a bust, then there's always VCA.

When are you going? They usually have a price increase every year somewhere between April and May. So, then it woukd be possibly more expensive. It also depends on the exchange rate, but keep in mind you do get 12% back (sometimes it takes as long as 3 months later..) I do have a fantastic SA should you need one. I would definitely call ahead so they can assemble everything you would like to look at in one location. There are three VCA boutiques in Paris and one workshop. If you are willing I would love to hear any tips you may have about scoring a bag in Hermes in France! I have wanted one since at least 2005, with absolutely NO lucky I really hope this will be my lucky trip! Anything you can share with me an SAs name, etc would be most helpful.

I could understand if you are getting an awesome deal like a 1/4 or 1/2 the cost of VCA and do not care about buying a name brand piece or cannot afford to, but that does not appear to be the case here. VCA will hold its value for resale and these will not. This is a LOT of money to tie up into a replica and I if you go this route I believe sometime in the future you will regret that you didn't spend the extra money and get VCA. JMHO
Looking for suggestions. I want to add a pendant (not pave) to my small collection. I was thinking of a lucky butterfly, a Alhambra or Vintage Alhambra or maybe a clover; white, yellow or pink gold are all possibilities. I currently own:
In Vintage Alhambra:
20 motif wg/mop
10 motif yg/mop
wg/mop reg size ear clips
yg/pave ear clips
wg/mop Magic pendant
Any input is truly appreciated.
Thanks tbbbjb; I can't get the Lucky butterfly out of my head. I would be considering the tiger's eye or the turquoise (if it is still around). I also like the idea of onyx; I guess I need to try them on and see which one looks best. Thanks again!
Oh, don't rule out Malachite. It is coming out and supposed to have a pendant. It is a beautiful green with striations and would be a nice addition but a little more limited as far as versatility goes.Turquoise and Tiger's eye are nice additions as well. I think you need to mix it up a little colorwise and get away from the mop. The Lucky butterfly is really a special piece, but please try on the frivole earrings as well. I think you might really like them and consider them for a future purchase. They mix and match nicely with everything you have. Turquoise will give you a nice pop of color, but you will be a little more limited with it than with the tiger's eye or onyx.
