hi,..... have you gotten your love bracelet already? i wonder if there is a price increase soon after the 1st of May.


Yes, I already got my bracelet and just returned home today! I bought a plain RG bangle for 613,000 yen and the RG wedding love ring for 102,000 yen at haneda airport. I asked about impending price increases and the SA said she thinks early May. :(

Customs coming back home was a breeze and i declared everything, but I didn't get charged duty.

Hope this helps and good luck!!

You were right about the price increase. I called Narita airport and effective May 10 price will increase almost upto $500 more (in US dollar equivalent). We will be there on the 21st of May and will be affected with the proce increase. Anyway, I would like to know if the love bracelet you got from the Haneda airport comes with the new packaging like the Cartier inner and outer box, Cartier booklet and love certificate? Was it also wrapped in white with Cartier ribbon? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Oh no, sorry to hear about the timing of the price increase! But at least it's still cheaper there, I guess.
Yes, the packaging came with the inner and outer box, booklet, and certificate. The SA also gave me a jewelry cleaning kit that came in another box. However, I didn't get the boxes wrapped up since I wore the bracelet out of the store, so no white ribbon. And I had seen that people had been receiving a jewelry pouch for travel, so I inquired about that but they didn't have any. Although, I'm not sure if they knew what I was looking for.

Did they let you reserve your size? At haneda, I reserved it, so it would be there. But they wouldn't let me pay for it ahead of time.

I was heartbroken when I heard from the SA about the crazy price jump!!!!! [emoji24]
Regarding the size, I asked them if they have a size 16 YG plain love available and the SA told me that they dont carry those size in airport boutiques. I didnt bother asking if they could get me one when Im there. I may have to call them back and ask if they can reserve me this size. Thanks for the tip.
