Strange, on the Danish website there has been a decrease on bags, small leather goods, scarfs and homeware ... everything, as far as I can see :graucho:

The Bolide is now 1200 DKR ( about $169 / 161 EURO) less than it was when I bought mine in August :facepalm:
CSGM's are 400 DKR ($43 / 40 EURO) less.

Just compared price of Bolide 31 in 2016 (£4660) with current price online on the UK site (£5040). Price increase of 8.15%. :doh:

The other drastic increase that I notice is on the 140 Mousseline. Previously £600, now £660 and on the EU sites from 680€ to 780€. :shocked: Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the EU price for last year.

Since I'll be in London next week, I planned to take advantage of the favourable exchange to the USD and pick up a couple things I've been wanting. As such, I've been waiting to see the UK increase. It appears most have been applied on h.com except for the 90 scarves which are still listed at £280 [maybe no increase on those? wishful thinking? haha]. Even with the increase, the items are still cheaper than in the US [even before deducting the VAT which will save a little bit more].
70s - £225 [was £215]
Maxi Twilly - £240 [was £220]
Bandanas - £145 [was £130]
Gavroches - £135 [was £120]
Men's pocket scarves - £105 [was £100]
Tarmac passport case - £155 [was £145] **These are $235 USD, BEFORE tax, so this is a particularly good deal in the UK**
Citizen Twill card holder - £265 [was £250] **Another good deal since they are $395 USD before tax here**
Kara necklace - £210 [was £190]

Ohh thanks for finding that! Still works out to about $364 USD compared to $395+tax [$408.75 in Mass.]. I wonder how much they will be at Heathrow duty free. Someone posted here in the past, I believe, that dutyfree was about 20% less than downtown London. If that is true, a 90 would be $100 less in the UK than in USA. Not a bad deal.

If I remember well, the dutyfree is not 20%, but 10 or 12% because of Global Blue fees.
But still a good deal for somebody from US.

I'll be there next week so I'll report back when I return. Do you remember how much the discount is if you buy at the dutyfree H store in Terminal 5? There wouldn't be any globalblue fees for that since it is already duty free at time of purchase, right? I may buy some stuff at Harrods if they have something I really want as to not risk T5 not having it but I may hit up T5 as well whilst I wait for my flight haha. And to stay on topic, I am to assume that the airport locations have the same % price increase as the rest of the country, right?

Yes, the price increase will apply to airport boutiques as well. As for the duty free price, take the retail price divided by 1.2 and you'll have the duty free price. For instance the 90cm silk is now £295 so duty free for all non-EU flights would be £245.83 which they will likely round up to £246. Hope this helps!
