I had actually passed on buying the DA mini pochette and the mono key pouch a few different times in December because I was trying to be Good and figured I could Wait, but so glad I was able to buy them yesterday when they popped up.

Definitely will be making a video with before and afters. So far I'm covering AUD, USD, and Euro. (If anyone has any information on increases in Asia and the UK, I'd love to see! I was just too busy yesterday to take all those screenshots)

I just bought this at the beginning of the week on a whim. So glad I did! That's a ridiculous price increase. Was thinking about returning it, but now I might just keep it for investment's sake.

Same here! I wasn't planning to buy anything but I happened to browse and it was in stock. Bought without thinking early this week. $445 is ridiculous with tax on top of it will be almost $500!

The price increase is RIDICULOUS. They increased prices SIX TIMES from October 2019 through September 2020. Now again and the biggest jump yet!

Price of Key Pouch was $205, then to $215, then to $225, and now $270
Mini Pochette most recent was $365 and now $445
I bought two Pochette Accessories a couple years ago at $500 each, then bought one $525 in Jan 2020, then to $630, and now $790.

Sorry, but IMO this is just greedy. Thankfully I don't and won't need to buy any LV as I am satisfied with what I have. I will purchase from other brands moving forward.

So glad I was able to get the mini pochette in monogram through my CA yesterday! Crazy price increase on that one. I’m kind of upset to see the MPA go up by about $200 more! I was hoping that it’d be my next bag purchase but after the price increase at that price point I rather pay $500 or so more and get the on the go MM

Here you go, with old price, new price, and percentage difference. Biggest hits were definitely on the popular PA, mini PA, and key cles :tdown:

So here’s my thing. Yes, I agree that there have been many many large price increases in a very short period of time and that the timing with what’s happening in the world may be in poor taste. But the fact remains that if you look at other luxury brands such as Gucci, Fendi, Valentino, ... and compare their prices to the LV slg models that have recently gone up, LV is still cheaper! Yes, the key pouch is now 320$ CAD, but if you look at the Gucci website, their version of the key pouch is 400 CAD. If you look at a Fendi or Gucci basic pochette style that would be comparable to the LV PA, the other brands are priced higher.

Only LV, Chanel and Hermès are brands that have “classic” pieces that have been around and available for purchase for generations, all these other brands do not. The other brands have the advantage of changing their styles and canvases seasonally, so this way they can price an item as they want and you don’t really notice the price increase.

Yes, price increases suck, but I expect to pay more for LV canvas and leather compared to other brands (except CC & H)

I like how they eke out the increase little by little over time. $20 here and $40 there one off is not a big deal, but that much x how many increases over the last year?

Once a bag hits over the $2k mark when it was several hundred dollars or more less a year ago and it is painful to see.

I am sure they won't have any problems still selling bags, and will probably have several more increases in the year ahead. There are lots of people who won't be hindered by the higher prices, but I will think twice before making a heart eye-filled impulse purchase!
