I got my kelly today from US store, togo leather $8300. The SA mentioned that the price increase is going to happen at the end of the month. :search:
Congratulations on your kelly! Can you post pics here?:) And thanks girls for all the info about the prices. I've been wanting to know them for the Kelly and Birkin. I own a 35 Togo Black with GHW but I've always been intimidated walking in a store. Are these bags usually just available? I'm looking for a Birkin 35 Gold with GHW.

Jing - remember, not everyone on here is a woman.

And unfortunately, these bags usually are not just available when you walk into a store. I recommend that you take your 35B next time to go to a store, browse around at some of the non-bag merchandise, chat up an SA, and then later casually ask if they have a particular K/B (color, type of leather, hardware, etc). I've talked to a lot of SAs, and every single one of them is put off by people who walk in and whose first words are, "Do you have any Birkins or Kellys?" They even go so far as to learn "no bags" in various languages because they get asked that ALL the time.

If you walk in with your 35B, you may get some street cred. In the US, they likely won't offer you a bag unless/until you spend a threshold amount. If you spend $30k in other merchandise, you should increase your odds that an SA "finds" a bag in the back. If you don't want to spend a lot on other non-bag merchandise, your best bet is to go to Paris. You CAN score a B/K without buying anything else. I know personally from experience.

Visited boutique 2 days ago... Prices have not increased yet. SA informed me the definitely are going up in the next few weeks but they have received no official word on exact timeline or % increase. She told me that not all pieces will go up at the same time, instead it will be in stages. She expects that the first to increase will be the most popular leather items. I guess the clock is ticking....

Same here. Went to my store today and they said most items will see increase by first week of February, no exact date yet but none of the items I got today saw a price increase from last year.
 
Congrats! You are sooo lucky, what kelly did you buy. I hope you do a reveal!
