Girls, I've just bought a Jumbo classic flap in Harrods, London and I was deliberating and the SA told me, don't tell anyone I told you this BUT in two days there will be a price increase! I bought it then and there :amazed::amazed::amazed:

Does anyone know about the price increase in Germany? My SA told me that there is one to come, but she obviously didn't want to give me any date.
I'll be in Paris in April and want to buy a Medium Boy at the Rue Cambon Boutique, but if the increase will be set before, I better buy one at home.

Hi

I wanted to write you a pm but somehow I can't... I'm also from Germany... This would be really bad if there's another increase - the one in April last year was already bad. From which boutique did you hear about the increase?

I wanted to buy something from the act II collection, shipment starting in March, but if there's an increase before, I'll think about that

Wait, what? [emoji30] did she mention anything in particular? Wonder if the rest of Europe will follow as well or if that's in March.

In any event, please let it be a small increase and not like the double digit 'dude are you insane' one of last year!

that's what I'm hoping, too - but let's be honest, it's Chanel... That increase surely will not be a cheap one :sad: my absolute horror is it will/could be again around 10% like last year...

I know... I think the classic flaps haven't increased in a while in the UK thought, right? I did try to get more info and asked how much but she said she didn't know. I think i remember her saying a probable % number but I don't want to say it if I'm not sure... I'll ask my husband as he was with me!

Can you buy it now and if there is no increase you can always return it? I have 14 days to do a refund in Harrods if I change my mind but I believe the chanel boutiques only offer exchanges in London.

No, lovey I did ask though. I randomly asked her if she thought there might be an increase soon as it's my bday end of next month so I might wait to buy it then and she said she couldn't say so I gave her a come on please tell me smile and I think she took pity on me as I am quite pregnant at the moment (little one getting me perks already). Anyway, she said "from mother to mother, buy it now! There will be one soon... in two days, but you didn't hear it from me".

Indeed...but just imagine, EUR 2k for a WOC? EUR 3k for a mini? Don't know if I'd be OK with that.

I'm bothered every time when I see people compare prices WW without converting to same currency base.

So at current FX rates, if I pick one item from each region:


WOC in U.S. is $2100 pretax which is nearly €2000 (1 euro = $1.09 USD)


Medium boy = $4700 pre tax vs £2690 ($3800) in UK (1 GBP = $1.42 USD)

Jumbo is $5500 in U.S. vs newly increased price in Canada CAD$7050 (~USD$5076)
($1 CAD = $ .72 USD)


I'm not saying all the prices should be the same WW but at current prices, Europe and UK are way cheaper than US though any increase in prices may sound crazy to locals. These are crazy prices we've been paying here in US since Apr 2014!!!!!



And even at newly increase prices, Canada is still cheaper than US at pre-tax basis
