Hey gang, has anyone in Canada ordered recently? What duties and taxes should we expect? The item is made in the EU so I’m not expecting to pay any duties because of CETA, just local provincial taxes, but wanted to be sure if anyone has had experience with this. Thanks!
I ordered mine in February a daily battle 37. I think I paid around $200 in taxes and duties.
 
Does anyone have a FLP bag with a terrible smell? I have a DB 37 which has no smell but my new DB 27 smells just awful. Really bad and strong too. Like you can tell the bag is nearby from a few feet away. ☹️
Is it a chemically smell? Airing out should help smells go away! You can also close the bag in a box with open baking soda or charcoal. I've also read rubbing bags with a dryer sheet helps?

I have a DB 32 that is about 1.5 years old. I didn't notice any smell when it was brand new, but started to notice it after about 8 months. I then started just hang it on the door without its dust bag and that helped. I have noticed similar smell on my LV Pochette Matis after repair. (The back panel had to be completely replaced due to the infamous glazing issue). I think it may have something to do with how they treated the canvas.

I don’t know how to explain it, but it is definitely not leather. Maybe chemical. I am trying to air it out, fingers crossed. I’m just surprised since my first DB had no odor.

Yup, I have mine hanging on a door and now my walk-in closet stinks! [emoji23] I just wanted to get it away from my other bags. It does seem a bit better after 24 hours of hanging.

I had a LV PM too. It was the reverse and I sold it, but I think of buying it again in black leather. [emoji48]
 
Hi everyone!

First time posting on PF. I just bought a DB 32 in Grey (not the yellow glazing) at the Joyce store in Hong Kong where they were having a long term pop-up.

The sales lady Lily was very helpful and patiently waited for me to get off the phone with my friend who was helping me decide on the size and all.

I paid HK$8,900 (US$1,140) for the bag and was told the one with yellow glazing is HK$9,100 (US$1,166). Not a big difference between the two options.

I suppose I’m paying a lot more than what it costs in Europe?

FLP website shows:
DB 32 no yellow glazing - 850€
DB 32 with yellow glazing - 870€

I visited the store in Taipei last spring and yes, I do think the price in Asia cost a little more.
