Cartier price increase thread *please include your location*

I think so

I went to my local botique in CA a couple days ago and it's 6-10% increase. I thought it was going to be 6% on jewelry, so I wonder what specific items might be going up to 10% in the U.S. The SA's are not allowed to say, but since I brought it up...

Wow. I’ve seen 10% mentioned on FB as well. Here (Switzerland) apparently 3%.

I just made a pre-price increase purchase at the Fifth Ave mansion in NYC. My SA is a manager, and she not only confirmed the price increase, but also informed me that the price adjustment will take place on July 15 as well! The US prices are supposed to increase to match European prices.

What do you mean when you say July 15 price adjustment?

According to her, because US prices are so much lower than European prices, they’re going to increase US prices to make the prices comparable.

I know!!! Let’s see if it actually happens. Maybe European prices will decrease, rather than American prices increasing. People have mentioned recently in this thread that European stores are confirmed for a price adjustment in July.

Did you do this over the phone? Or did you have to go to the store?

I thought they were lower in Europe?

Not necessarily, especially if you are not taking the VAT refund into account. The JUC pave bracelet for instance is $45,800 in the US but EUR 46,000 in France, which is close to $55,000.

I went into the store for the purchase but you can place orders on line. I’ve never done phone orders.

I just went to the store (US) yesterday to pick up my JUC. During check out my SA mentioned that it's good I got this now because the price is going up soon. He doesn't know the specific amount since they don't let the SA know until the day before

If anyone’s from Scandinavia:
My SA in Denmark confirmed the price increase will happen on the 15th July and it will be 1-2% increase on everything and 6% increase on colored stones.
Our prices won’t increase as much as Germany, Switzerland etc because our prices are already higher than the rest of Europe.

Any news in AU?
