Birkin 35 Pricing In US, Australia & UK - Some Numbers For You

[mooks]

The two quotes are taken from the thread about Aussie Vogue, I'd intended to post this as a response on there but thought you may all be interested in seeing the price disparity across three different countries.

Suzie~ USA Birkin 35 $8400 plus tax

Including tax that's around $9,000 US dollars = $9,560 AUS dollars

Hey Susie, you are in luck if you are after the gold. The Main Beach store has a gold 35 birkin for $12160.

So it's about $2,600 AUS dollars cheaper in the US

In the UK it's £4,080 = $7,960 US dollars = $8,456 AUS dollars

This highlights the huge price differences in different countries and why they are putting the prices up in August. My SA said that the UK is the cheapest place to get a Birkin or Kelly and the August price increase is to bring the UK in line with at least the rest of Europe

Thanks for the interesting info mooks, so wow!! that makes a change. We are the cheapest place to get a Birkin.
Sad it obviously isnt going to be for much longer.

I've been told to expect close to £5,000 for a 35 Birkin next year!!

 

[Bella_Figura]

^^That is such BAD BAD BAD news.

 

[mooks]

Tell me about it! It could be a 25% increase for us

Mooks, 4,080 pounds at today's XE.com exchange rates, is 5.136 euros, which would make the bag cheaper in the UK than in Paris; I doubt that can be right.....

 

[mooks]

^^^ That's why we are having the increase.....

I thought the price I paid for my Kelly in May was a bit too bargainacious compared to the stuff I was reading here. This August's price hike would have taken the 35cm retournee Kelly in Vache Ligee towards £4,000. But then in the UK we don't have to do lots of complicated maths adding sales tax etc - no wonder our brothers and sisters in the States hate taxes - they've made them so complicated!

I have been given a price for a 35 cm in togo which corresponds to approx. 9.915 USD/5.067 GBP/6.418 EUR (today's currency rates) and I think that the prices in Sweden/Denmark is about the same (not 100% sure of this though).

This is the only reason for why I am hesitating a bit (and I am hesitating even more now when I see how much more expensive it is here)- I don't like at all that I have to pay that much more than the rest of you.

Hi all,

In Singapore, are we expected an increase as well?

 

[duna]

in Italy/France the current price of a regular 35 birkin is 5.350 euros, give or take 50 euros

The euro is currently over-valued due to the fact that investors frightened by the weakness of the dollar and wobbly pound are investing heavily in Europe. Consequently, we are seeing the UK pound price of the Birkin 35 as lower than the French price, which is currently 5300 for a togo/clemence birkin 35cm. Hermes is not the only european brand which is currently cheaper to buy in the UK than in the country of origin, see chloe & Prada.

Also with inflation super high everywhere (hello! 3.70 euros for butter!), the price rises when bought back into line will possibly be higher than expected. Ref. Mooks and the astonishing hike from 4080 to approx 5000 GBP for a birkin 35cm! I just really hope that for those of us with H bags on order that they come in sooner rather than later.

 

[mooks]

I know my next bag will be in the £5,000 region because it's an SO and not ready until next year.....

 

[duna]

Yikes! 3.70 euros for butter.....we're around 2.00 euros in Italy....

Thanks for the info mooks! Is it just as easy to get a birkin at the bigger boutiques in UK as it is at the FSH in paris?
