I have just visited the Hermès online store for the first time after a while. Is it me or Hermès is completely disconnected from the rest of the economy and has again increased its prices by say 20% in one year?
In the summer of 2008, I bought a guernsey card holder for around 300. It's not sold on the website but looking at the other prices my impression is that today it would probably be between 350 and 400. Even the small Diabolo which is just two pieces of leather sewn together costs 239! The Euclide card holder, which I had seen in Boston at little more than $300 in 2008 is today at 392!! O.k. I think even at that time this "cheap" price was a bit of an anomaly because it was more expensive in several other shops so that must have been an old price, perhaps from 2007 Anyway we have easily 60% of increase in 3-4 years... Has your income increased in the same proportion during that time?
