Hermes Brazil

I am going to sao paulo next month. Is there any updates on the availability of B/K/C and the prices?

I don't know about availability but I am 100% positive the price is will be much higher than in the US. Brazil chargers an INSANE amount of taxes in everything that comes in to the country to sell..

A friend who was recently there told me that a B30 was almost 14k.

Wow! Thanks for the info! Did she mention those Bs are on the shelf or I need to play the game again?

She got offered a malachite birkin 30 togo in both phw and ghw. Not sure if she purchased anything before to get offered. But she didn't take the bag.

Nope, no tourist refunds

 

[Coco.lover]

No such thing as a tourist refund in Brazil. I'm from Rio and all imported goods are much more expensive there than in the US and Europe.

Beautiful!! Congratulations!

I sold all my other bags and last month started shopping at Hermès!
I am never looking back. However, these price increases really scare me. They had a 10% increase this month and my SA sad that they will have another on January.
I live in Brazil, and prices here are even higher than in the US.
Apart from that, I am super happy to have become a Hermes fan!

I'll be visiting Brazil next week! Staying in Rio. Do you have an SA contact? Nervous about those upcoming price increases too. :/

Hi, I am traveling to Sao Paulo soon and would love to know the current pricing for a B or K? When I was there 10 years ago, they were close to $20K however after reading this thread it seems they have come down a bit?

Apologies if this is OT, but I will be traveling to SP and I was wondering how safe it would be to bring my BKC with me. Any tips or advice would be very appreciated as I’ve never been to SP before. I do speak Portuguese pretty well and could perhaps pass for a Paulistana, if that helps.

I lived in the Southern region of Brazil many years ago and I intentionally never wore anything too flashy. I knew people who were robbed for silly things like tennis shoes or their bikes. Safety trumps my things, so if it’s not advisable, I’ll happily leave my bags at home.

Antecipadamente grata!

I would never carry anything valuable when traveling to Brazil. São Paulo's crime rates are not as high as Rio's, but it is still considered unsafe.
Not long ago a person I know was waiting in the traffic, a guy broke the window of the car and took all her jewelry. Thankfully, she was left unharmed. Crime does't see faces or nationalities. Carrying an Hermès will make you a target.

To each to their own, but I don't think it is worth the risk.
