I actually meant tariffs rather than price increase (more sinister but hopefully less likely). Apparently the US is going to impose tariffs on French imports as of Wednesday:

Though of course whether scarves are included, and whether Hermes chooses to pass any part of this to the customer, whether anything actually happens on January 6th -- and in fact whether anything happens at all (this was already supposed to happen earlier this year and did not) -- are all very much up on the air.
In the meantime if anybody in the US needs an excuse to buy a scarf right this minute this is as good as it gets!
