Hermès at Singapore and Kuala Lumpur airports

[eminere™]

I thought this is a thread about airport stock? I'm pretty sure the airport boutiques do not stock HACs.

I'm a little confused myself by the slight randomness! I was only after a Twilly, which is a bit of a step removed from an HAC

I bought a twilly in KLIA for RM420 in March if that helps. And yes, it's ridiculously expensive in Australia - I believe it's A$195.

I just got off the phone with Hermès Sydney - Twillys in Australia are now AU $200 apiece!

Aud$200. wow oh my! well you are better off at Hermes T2

Either way buying in Changi or KL airport is sure to be cheaper than buying in Australia, esp after the exchange rate.

Can anyone tell me what kind of stock they have at Changi?? Thanks!!

Changi T3 has many Shawls including the Marwari.

Alot of accessories like the POM POM, Bag Charm, Cadenas, Twillys and also Chevre Kelly Long Wallets.

Bag Wise, I spied some GPs and Picotins, but that's about it.

^^ They have scarves, shawls, ties, belts, RTW, small leather accessories (wallets, calvis, ulysses, keychains etc) and bags (Picotins, Lindys, GPs, Evelynes, Victoria etc). No Birkins, no Kellys.

Oh, thanks Accessorize*me!! Do you know if there is much price difference between SIN and the UK or rest of Europe??

Sorry, just noticed your post......ooh, they have Lindys and Evelyns. Will have to try them on for size!! Thanks ms piggy!!

I'm just wondering as a newbie whether it's easier to try at the airport, rather than a store!! Do they have the leather books there?

Prices in Asia is generally higher (20% or higher depending on items). If you buy at Changi airport, it's tax free, at least you get to save the 7% Goods & Services Tax (GST).

You're welcome!

I'm not too sure about Hermes, but I bought a Chanel Jacket from London recently and it was close to 25% less expensive than buying from the Singapore Store! ush:

If you buy from the airport, you needn't pay the 7% GST unlike everywhere else, but I'm guessing it will still work out to be 10-15% more expensive to buy from Singapore. Exchange rate probably has a part to play too.

Yes, it's nearly SIN$3 to 1UKP.......oh happy days!!
