I am happy that I had 2 years time for purchasing many LV bags before the price increased the first time (since I´m collecting LV) and I´m also happy that I got 2 bags within the last two months before the price increase... I know that the price increase is not that much but some bags are now 800 or over 1000 / 1800 and I think it affects a little bit psyological if you know what I mean.. It´s like hey 760 euro is "okay" for a speedy but 800 looks a lot more, or 1780 euro for the empreinte verison is "okay" but 1820 is a lot... so let´s see how many lv bags I will buy in the future as I´m content and happy with my collection for now but I have 1-3 bags on my "maybe someday" wishlist which I may buy or not for special occasions like christmas/ bday.. let´s see. I just think I will not buy so many lv bags anymore in the future just because I already have all the bags that I wanted...... my husband didn´t believe me anymore when I said there was a the price increase as I said it many times before in order to get a bag and it never happened within the 2 years hahaha
 
This is the first time on tPF that I have heard rumors of a price increase and it actually happened. :sad:

No way! [emoji74] There’s been many posts here warning about price increase that actually took place. Some of the readers here have good SAs to warn them in advance and I’ve been able to take advantage of the intel to save a few bucks. [emoji6]
 
TPF is a great source of knowledge and intel when it comes to new releases and price increases. I am very grateful that people share their intel on this platform so we can be prepared. At least I had the choice to get something before the price increase. I decided not to buy the bag next on my list because I just got my Alma BB 3 weeks ago. But knowing that it will only be a small price increase helped me not stressing about it too much and not making any rash decisions
I also had the Clemence wallet on my list, but wanted to get it with a different interior color than the ones available. Also thanks to tpf I knew that the Clemence will come out with the freesia interior only 2 days after the price increase, so I waited for this one and luckily the Clemence did not have a price increase after all. So I was lucky :) .
 
Handcrafted, what a joke!! Sorry to burst anyone’s bubbles, but unless you are getting a hard sided luggage piece and paying through the wherever, it’s mass-produced and machine stitched. Don't believe their nonsense, they just have a lot of sku’s to produce and they are making everything as fast as humanly possible. So much so they have “craftsmen” making pieces they may not have the proper skill set to make, look at the PM and all the issues that arise with just that 1 popular piece. Make no mistake, even though it’s sold out, they are making as many as they possibly can. This is, in the end, a for profit corporation.
I guess what they mean by hand crafted is that they didn't use the sewing machine with their feet! Therefore handcrafted. :graucho:

No increase in EU? Just checked, same prices.

Side note: they have changed a bit on the website. It's a bit easier to read. Brown fonts instead of the beige that was before.

I can't believe that the selected items went up again with the site wide increase only a couple of weeks later! for that Saintonge to rise $70 days after it's released too/ Why didn't they just start it at the new price.. I think it was priced too high to begin with ..
