I've been tentative about the Croisette Chain Wallet but thought it was a nice and casual bag w/ a touch of elegance, especially with its price point having been under $2k after taxes (previously it retailed $1760 CAD) but now its gone up to almost $2100 after taxes... (It went up by $90, so listing for $1850 now)
I'm still on the hunt for the bag but I haven't tried it in person, but it hasn't even appeared online this recent while either and I think that's what gets me. Price increases are one thing (not always agreeable, but it is what it is) but at least if they had stock, it wouldn't be as difficult to stomach...
Personally, I find them having a price increase during this time is in bad taste but people are still going to buy from LV regardless, with or without the price increase. :/
Edit: to add that I'm looking for DE in Scarlet not the DE in pink/DEA variations currently available LOL.
