Cheapest country to buy LV

[Kathleen37]

France. Uk is the most expensive of the Euro countries, with Ireland , Spain, Italy and Germany, between 5% and 12% more expensive than France.

Apart from the UK, due to currency changes, I always thought that the rest of Europe would be the same, but it definately isn't. Whether that's to do with transport costs, but I've shopped in LV in all the above countries, and they are all more expensive than the French stores, by varying amounts.

Germany is definitely more expensive than France:

The price for the mono speedy 30 was 420 € (545,29 $ according to xe.com) before January 1rst. Our VAT got raised from 16% to 19% on January first so I don't know how that effected the speedy.

HK is alot cheaper than China (up to 30% less i think), but i hear that Macau is cheaper than HK

is china cheaper then macau too?

If HK < China and Macau < HK
then Macau < HK < China
and therefore China is the most expensive out of the three and not cheaper than Macau.
Hope that helps.

HK is cheaper when it comes to buying certain designer goods, but I think France should be the cheapest.

The prices in France are really the cheapest especially after you get a GST refund.

Anyone know where Australia fits into the equation? I have no idea how much the Speedy 30 is, it's easy to get lost with prices with all the increases! And is Japan super expensive? Japanese tourists buy up big in the Aussie stores
