If I’m from the US but visiting London, taking the Eurostar to Paris for a night before going back to London via Eurostar then home to the US…where would be the cheapest place for me to purchase (including the vat refund?) thanks!

Paris would be a lot cheaper vs London.
The line in Paris is always long (expect at least 1hr), while in London it’s only 15min tops

I would suggest checking all the boutiques if you are looking for something in particular. London has just one store in Mount Street which is tiny so it can't carry a lot of stock. Paris has a few stores so you may have a better chance of getting what you are looking for.
 
If she’s flying out of London she won’t get VAT back regardless of where the bag is purchased. The price of the bag in gbp versus euros is probably not that different. I would purchase from the more convenient location.
Wouldn’t she submit the VAT forms at Paris train station, as she’s leaving the EU from there?
