Was in the San Francisco store last week and was told that the SAC HARDY (PM) is $2,510 regardless of color.
Hmm that's weird. I thought price wise there is always a difference between the historical and the special colors.
Which one is considered more elite or exclusive? Which came first, do you know? Thanks in advance!
Do you still benefit from the Vat Tax if you do not have the item, and it needs to be shipped to you since you are getting it monogrammed? I will be in Germany next month, but I am only staying for a week (not enough time for it to be monogrammed) Would it be better to just buy it in San Fransisco, I plan to go there in October? How much do you really save buying it in Europe vs. the U.S.? Does anyone know? thanks in advance!
Also, who started the hot stamping, LV or Goyard?
FLP is older, 1717. Goyard is from 1792. Goyard is revived earlier than FLP, FLP revived a couple of months ago. So right now I would say that FLP is more exlusive, but I find Goyard more elite, I find the FLP pattern a bit 'childish' and Goyard's pattern more elite. =)
I have no idea about VAT, you could e-mail Goyard about it, they respond quickly! ([email protected])
Prices differ quite a lot I heard, but I don't know how the VAT works! Good luck! =)
For example:
St Louis GM black/black US: $1285 (tax excluded)
St Louis GM black/black Paris: €800, which is around $1050 (tax included)
So the difference is quite a lot I think, but I'm not sure how it works though! =)

Faure le Page was founded in 1717 and was the official armory for the French nobility. Until recently, they manufactured sporting/hunting goods for the French elite and only in the last year came out with small leather goods and handbags.
I bought their gun pochette on the same Paris trip I bought my Goyard. My MIL and SILs opted for tote bags from FLP. It's easy to visit both shops since they are close to one another. The Faure le Page boutique is on Cambon, right next door to Chanel.
Goyard is well known as a luggage company and has had some exclusive clients over the centuries. FLP is in my eyes more exclusive since they have only ONE boutique in the entire world and the last I checked, no e-store. Goyard is definitely more well-known and expected. Also, FLP bags only come in four colors: brown, grey, blue and green. The signature print is pretty cool.... it's like armored chain.
HTH!

Thanks for your reply. The manager mis-quoted; special colors are indeed $2,510 while non-specialty = $1,950. Loved the bordeaux but decided to go with basic black to match all my "stuff." Am waiting to see how long the wait will be for its arrival.
