difference in prices LV aroung the world

[Sycomore]

Can someone pls explain me why and how is the difference on prices ??? it is only the tax or what else?? I was in brasil last year and the prices where almost a 40% more than here in EUROPE I couldn't belive it since the tax here is so high.... I've heard also japan is very expensive what is what makes the price higher is only the tax ??

Tax, import costs for sure, a sort of "dealership" fee, like the investors in each country have to pay LVMH?

I'm not sure, but I know that Hawaii prices are a little less than stateside.

 

[bvbirdygirl]

i think france is cheapest...

 

[Mariangelwalk]

yes.. price different... France the cheapest

 

[Vicky2007]

Yeah, the most expensive price is Japan. Japan imported good tax is a bit higher and that's why the the result of the bloody price.

I think that LV has different marketing/pricing regions throughout the world. Hawaii is considered a different region from the rest of the contintental U.S.
As referenced by Vicky2007, pricing is probably also influenced by import/export policies per countries.....

I agree with peace43, but there is also the currency that is every changing, so Louie is trying to best predict what the currency exchange will be, but it is impossible.

I know that LV counts Hawaii as totally seperate from the continental US (they don't share inventory and items cannot be transferred from one place to another). I think it may be slightly cheaper because they don't have as many price increases as the mainland. Hawaii also has a low sales tax (4.166%)

That is true, in the Netherlands the bags are around 10 euro more expensive than in France, but that's not a big difference

 

[hlfinn]

bermuda is cheaper than the us too and no tax

Our tax went up January 01/07 from 4.166 to 4.72%
