Price increase in Paris?

[steakfrite]

Referring to post #154 in http://forum.purseblog.com/hermes-shopping/2010-pricing-for-hermes-bags-no-chatter-please-542593-11.html

It appears that there has been an increase of approximate 400 - 500 euros for the 35 and 40 birkins??

 

[Avril]

That was the price as of last week. It's been that price though for a couple of months though.

^Possibly due to the weakening Euro as of late?

I got my 35 Togo birkin for 5900 euros in September 2010...

 

[Avril]

I dunno so? I saw a 40 clemence Birkin last week and the price tag on it was €6,900 ...

 

[steakfrite]

But you updated that the 35 clemence birkin is 6310 euros as of October 2010?

 

[Avril]

Yes because I then asked how much the 35 was and SA told me it was that price.

 

[steakfrite]

So there has been a price increase in October... Just confirming cos a friend of mine is going to Paris and wanted to know the price...

 

[Avril]

Yah although I'm not sure when it happened Sorry I can't be of more help

 

[steakfrite]

Sigh guess it was a matter of time before they upped the prices to compensate for the weak euro...

 

[Avril]

 

[steakfrite]

Hopefully the euro falls some more to compensate for this price increase... (sorry all EU based tpf-ers!!)

[steakfrite]

Almost 10 percent increase!

i've been told that Chanel has increased last month already... don't buy Chanel so can't validate that
