Does anyone think that based on the falling Euro they'll take a step back on the increases before the end of the month? I have to say if the new prices posted here are accurate I'm reconsidering buying a bag in the US at all. I'd rather take the trip to Europe and try my luck.

MrsO, a trip to Europe might be an idea to consider for what you are looking for from H. Maybe a group TPF jet charter isn't such a bad idea after all!

Me too! I've gotten a couple of bags from FSH in the past. I noticed that bags in France were always less expensive than in N America and also with the VAT back. And these were the days when Euros were high. May be we need an international tPF meet in Europe. :p

Ok....I have news...confirmed from Hermès SA. Unfortunately, we already had the price increase on bags here in Europe, including B's and K's.
And I am totally kicking myself for not getting the Kelly in Decembre because now the price of a 32 Togo Kelly is higher than a 30 Togo Birkin. Yes....that's correct...Kelly has increased in price a lot :shucks:. And with a lot I mean a few hundreds more than previous years.

Old price of Kelly 32 in Togo 2014 was 6200 Euro......new price 2015 of a Kelly 32 in Togo is now 6800 Euro. Yes...6800 Euro...

The price increase on the Birkin is much more reasonable...
Old price of 30 Birkin in Togo 2014 was 6500 Euro...new price 2015 of a Togo 30 Birkin is 6750 Euro.

It's definitely interesting to see that the Kelly is now more expensive than the Birkin.
Who could have seen this coming - H. is full of surprises.

Off to kick myself again....for not getting that Kelly in Decembre :smash::smash:.

Ouch, this sucks! Thanks for the intel. Kellys seem a lot more elusive than Birkins and now they're going to be even more expensive. Not sure what the strategy behind it is. May be H is trying to increase the demand of Ks even more. I remember in 2009 when the shelves at FSH were full of Kellys, lakis, etc.

One would think with the euro down 13% against the dollar in 2014, H should be decreasing prices in the US instead of raising them. Funny how the exchange rate excuse for raising prices never works in reverse...

Wish we would be so lucky! 😅

We should arrange a TPF charter flight!
Citibank is forecasting the euro to reach parity with the USD this year, and fall below parity in 2016.
That was before the Swiss bank made their announcement, so the Euro could drop farther and faster than forecast.

Kind of makes me feel like a sucker for buying in the States...

Wow! Thanks for this info, Monceau! We were planning on visiting family in France in 2016 anyway...but now it will definitely be: Paris 2016 woohoo! ;):D

Yes, the good old days :girlsigh:.
I remember that my local H. boutique had sometimes Kelly bags on the shelves too.
But not anymore. Haven't seen a B or K on the shelves for a long, long time.

Maybe they are trying to increase the demand on K's...I don't know.
But definitely interesting to see that the price of a K in Europe is now higher than the price of a B.

Typically it's the opposite. At my Alaskan boutique, you never see a birkin on the floor unless it's diamond encrusted and croc (not gator).

Kellys you see everyday, any day, all sizes too. Those never move.

Please share where this dreamland store is -- with an abundance of kellys.:graucho: I have never heard anyone say this about their local store.
