I've bought many of my LV while traveling in Europe, mostly France since it's cheaper there due to tax. But I'm in New Zealand now where everything is much more expensive yet I walk into a Gucci store and a Dionysus mini supreme is $1700 NZ dollar duty free (about $1200 USD) when the same bag in the US is $1580 plus tax. How so? It's an import to both countries so I thought it would be more expensive or the same. Have you found that buying luxury outside of home (US) is cheaper? Seriously considering that bag now
