I read an article last night that the price increase totaled 18% last year with three increases. The author said watch for all the other countries and that's a def signal it will go up in the U.S. also. He said Louis Vuitton is very worried about "exclusivity" and has to go higher. They don't want every secretary in China carrying their bag. That was his exact phrase. You can find the article if you type in LV Asian Luxury Goods.
 
I ordered the Empreinte Cles in Grape last night :D I was in a mad panic to order something before the increase but had such a hard time deciding what to get.
How & where did you find out about the price increase? I had no idea. I came to LV today to exchange an item for a credit but changed my mind after sawing the price increase.

How elitist and snobby.
 
Pretty bag!! Did you get a heads up from an SA about when the increase was? I wonder when the US is planned for an increase?
They always say "We don't know" but then there was so much talk about the increase so I decided to pull the plug with this bag and a couple of SLGs.. Too bad I couldn't buy everything I wanted
 
My SA was telling me that lots of Americans come to buy in Canada so they had to raise the price to eliminate the price difference.

that's right! I saw a price comparison for Chanel classic flap on purse forum (or brag my bag) and they show with conversion rates etc, and it is cheaper to buy in Canada than US. The cheapest however is Great Britain..
 
Scored this little beauty on hold for tomorrow pick up to honour the old price.
My 5th purchase since last February - I am officially off to ban island, these price increases are too much here in Ontario with 13% sales tax.

gorgeous. I always wanted Eva in damier azur... why didn't I buy it before??(((
 
Its funny that you mention the second portion about how its the only sunglass case they make because the SA that told me it was gone mentioned that they were working on a new design LOL. The SA I talked to online didn't say anything other than they won't be making it anymore. I wish they were more consistent though, as you mentioned in the other post! Supposedly they're giving me free shipping as well!
While I was putting the order in via the phone the SA didn't mention low stock or anything! He just said "sure I can order that for you!" so I was really shocked. He said there was a huge wait list on the round coin purse though. (which I don't need at all because I don't use coins but it's SO cute)

they sound like our government workers - you call them for info, and you never get what you want as different people give you a different answer............sigh..........I love my job I love my job I love my job ...........
