Thank you! Would anyone also happen to know how much is a Ghillies birkin 35 currently? Euro or USd?
OMG!!! The price is so good in Euros. I wish Hermes will decrease the price in US to be par with the price Europe [emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]
doves, that price is sooo good in Euros and then they take VAT off the top, too. Incredible.
The price difference between countries/regions is getting to be huge. The price gap between a B35 in the US and Canada is almost $2000 now. Yikes!doves, that price is sooo good in Euros and then they take VAT off the top, too. Incredible.
Ouch. In life you win some and you lose some. And clearly we are on the losing side in this case!
Really? Wow! I'm assuming it's cheaper in Canada bc of the fx? I never thought Canada would be cheaper than the U.S., but it is right now! I just priced out GMs, think it works out to be $50 USD cheaper to buy in Toronto. Small, but I'll take it!
Yes, mostly because of the exchange but since early last year some of the items are quite cheaper here in Canada even with the 13% tax in Ontario. For comparison, using retail prices at 1.25% exchange from 2 days ago (this doesn't include a 2.5% fee usually charged by credit card companies):
90 Carre - C$460 vs US$450 or C$575
CSGM - C$1370 vs US$1175 or C$1468.75
CDC Leather - C$1390 vs US$1275 or C$1593.75
CDC Large Silver (GM) - C$4575 vs US$4300 or C$5375
Evelyne PM, C$3590 vs US$3375 or C$4218.75
Geez! Hate these pricing difference! The only party getting benefits are the resellers!
A friend who's in hermes reseller business said this but I am not sure if this is true..I don't really know her well.
I am not Chinese but it's hard to imagine this is targeting one specific group
So I am wondering if ladies here can explain this to me..some of these don't make sense and some of them I hope they are true
1. Hermes is having price increase starting Apr 15 by 40-50% (no further details sorry)
2. Hermes is closing down 28 jointly owned Hermes stores in Europe then will start closing down none company owned stores worldwide -----> I thought all Hermes stores in Europe are company owned like Chanel? This is one of the reasons why I doubt this is true
3. Hermes will scan passports for Chinese buyers and only 1 purchase per 12 month
4. Chips will be embedded in the bags and Hermes will be releasing apps to check bag authenticity based on embedded chips
Some of these are weird but I like the chip idea! What do you think?

# 1-- might be possible. euro vs dollar .. It's better off buying in Euro if you can guarantee a bag thru FSH in Paris
I believe that H has already announced that they will not be raising prices in Europe this year. There was quite a kerfluffle about this in light of Chanel's announcement that they will raise prices in Europe in an effort to reduce price discrepancies around the world.
