LV prices went up today!!!

[nastasja]

Come on guys, if you are paying $500+ on a bag how would a $25 difference be that bad!! no offense to anyone!!

i agree. it sucks prices went up but its not a huge diff.

$25 is like a moderately priced dinner out for two. It's nothing.

If the bags were jumping up $100+ dollars (Coach, anyone?), I would be much more distressed.

I think maybe it's more the principle behind the price hike. Also, $25 is not nothing to everyone, I'd be pretty damn pleased if someone handed me a random $25.

 

[jane]

What I mean is that when you are spending $600 or $700 for a bag, $25 is less than the sales tax. It is relatively insignificant.

YUP! The day is finally here. We talked about it for weeks... maybe even months now... It'll just take some time for us to get used to the prices and we'll be back at it! *pat pat on the back* everything will be fine.

Cutest (and true) comment ever!

The price hike isn't insignificant, unless they were to never go up again. If they go up $25-50 once or twice a year, that's a lot, and that's what is going on.
I have the money, but that doesn't even matter to me, it's the point.
Just because someone makes a lot of money doesn't mean they choose to afford certain things, price hikes are painful to most people that care about their finances IMO.

Well, it is totally unnecessary and totally predictable and we're totally getting screwed. But this makes me super glad that LV never puts anything on sale.
LV tools unite!

honestly, how many other consumer markets would put up with this kind of pricing system? Not many. Probably none. It's crazy!

Look at luxury import car pricing.. same, same old story.

The HI price will probably look like the old LV prices for the continent. So come down to HI for a trip

Oh yeah! Good idea!!!

I agree totally. Its sad but they will keep raising prices because we will keep buying it......for me, probably not so frequently because it really does add up.

Now I really need to put my investigative ebay hat on and find some deals!!

Oh yeah! Good idea!!!

It is! Vacation + lots of LV, can't go wrong!

Another plus is ALOHARAG! Woo-hoo!

The price hike doesn't bother me. Assuming they want to keep their profit margins constant, it's understandable to increase prices to cover in creases in materials and labor. They are running a business, after all.

Personally, I don't like the hike. While its not much, like Swanky said, its the point of it all.

Iddywho.....

I just looked at the Epi Pochette Accessories and it only went up $5. $335.00 to $340.00 Yeah for me, that was the next bag for me!

But of course!

But we don't have to like it!

Although, I hardly believe they need to raise prices once or twice a year to "keep up". They're bags are not exactly sold at cost.
Just stinks. That's all.
