So I am going to Hawaii in a few weeks and have been debating purchasing the NF there (money seems to go like water on holidays). I just did my sums and it seems that if I purchased the bag here and claimed the GST at Customs the bag will be around $80 cheaper.....

anyway food for thought (or homework) for travellers and the Aussie girls.

Hello lovelies,

Does anyone know when the Ikat will be available in Australia? I've had a look at the website but couldn't find it.

If it is already available, do you know how much the NF is in AUS dollars?

Thanks so much LV Lovers! :D

It think its best to call or visit a store. I've found that past releases take weeks to update on the Australian site however I had already purchased it in the store

Hi there! I called the LV hotline just last week to inquire about the release of the IKAT neverfull, sorry I forgot the exact date but I think it's either April 16 or 20 something. They also said its available in the Mm & Gm size. The mm is around $1,300+ while the Gm is $1,400 something. Hope it helps a bit. :)

GST is paid on the Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI).

The VoTI is the sum of:

1. the Customs value (Cval) +
2. transport and insurance cost (or postage and insurance) (T&I) +
3. any duty payable, plus WET (if applicable).
The information below on calculating duty and taxes is provided as a guide only.

Example 1: An importation of multiple low value packages of goods (for example, six packages of video cameras each valued at A$200) (One consignment)
A$

Customs value (6 x $200) (Cval) = 1200.00

Customs duty (Duty) @ 5% of Cval = 60.00 (Payable)

International transport and insurance or postage (T&I) = 150.00 e.g

Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI) (Cval+Duty+T&I) SUM = 1410.00

Goods and Services Tax (GST) @ 10% of the VoTI = 141.00 (Payable)

Total payable Duty + GST = 201

So a bag at $2200 would be:

5% of the total price you paid = $110 which is the Cval and is payable

then they would add the cost of shipping and insurance - e.g. $100

Then they would calculate the Voti - 2200 + 110 + 100 = 2410

from this total the GST is calculated at 10% = 241.00 (payable)

Duty payable is Cval 110 + GST 241 = $351.00

Yay that was fun.... Hope that makes sense.

Hi there, I might be moving to Queensland next year...I currently own 2 bags and 1 pochette and will be buying more to upgrade my collection...silly question, will I have to pay some taxes for the bags I own?

Ok I'm a bit excited lv Australia has online shopping now finally! No more having to call a number during business hours to make an order. I did say I wouldn't buy without going in store as I had a problem with an item sent when I ordered through phone. But having online ordering now is going to be really tempting!!

Hi there!

Just thought I would touch base and get your advice on purchasing pre-loved LV in Australia?

I of course know of Gumtree but that is about all apart from Ebay...do you know If we can use Craiglist etc...

Xx

Hi,

I have seen Gumtree become the avenue for those who used to sell their fakes on ebay - be very careful with gumtree. I have seen some authentic bags there, but make sure you physically go to look at the bag, and that you know the bag well to spot a fake.

In brisbane there is a show called 'Designer Archives', and they are on instagram, and post what they have as new arrivals every day or two. They have a good shop with even a birkin in it!! They are in the Wintergarden if you get to Brissy often.

I haven't seen many cosignment stores in Melb/Sydney though I think there are one or two online and based in Australia.

The trouble is, they tend to be more expensive for pre-loved than the U.S cosignment stores.

As Japan is so close to Oz, I have bought items from eLady ect and they have arrived with a week, very good service and great items. They sell through ebay.com.au..


I don't know about crag list, but I have gotten the impression it is the American version of Gumtree.....not sure if we can even buy from there....
Hope this helps.
