How much is a 40cm HAC in Togo/Clemence?

[LondonSoho7]

So, after the price hike in August, can someone please tell me how much is the list price for a 40cm HAC in the UK, Paris and the US? I am told to budget £4500 upwards, but does anyone know the EXACT price?

Thanks

US Price before August increase: $9100 USD. No news on the exact price after the increase yet.

Thanks for that info, I assume that it the price before US taxes. Have to check the price is Paris... anyone?

Yep 9100 ^ now and after the increase which I was told is 8% would be 9828.00 Yikes! so basically 10,000.00 after taxes U.S

Thanks... anyone in Paris who can check the price for me please? Also, if I need to reserve one when the list opens?

With the weakness of the pound against the euro it's more expensive to buy a bag in Europe.

The UK list should be opening late August/early September

There is no list. FSH usually tries to stock them in Fjord. Black and Marron Fonce. The price should be about the same in Paris, if I remember correctly.

Well, new girl at the Bond Street Shop, trying to sell me a Steve (PM?) sling bag... I am sorry folks, the Steve is a very-very ugly bag. £3100 for a deconstructed bag that looked rather very very ordinary and cheap.

I asked another SA about the HAC, lovely person but she did not know enough about the bag. She also gave me the "We never get unallocated Birkins" as she rolled her eyes - only to be surprised when I said that Selfridges received 3 last week and I bought one in Orange. Well, bags are something that each boutique don't share stories about. Each store runs their own inventory and "guest list".

She changed her tune after, and suggest that I call every day next week to see if the list is open for me to put my name against a potential HAC.

I did pop into Salvatore Farragammo - and took a shine to the baby blue crocodile slingbag for men. There was also an aligator briefcase for about £9000. Sorry, this news is NOT for this thread...

Back to HAC... thanks CastorNY (can I call you Kenny? Only kidding) about the FSH, I may just pop over for a day trip on the Eurostar for a shopping spree.
