Price Increase Update

It appears from H.com that prices are not being raised as much as predicted. I hope that means lower increases in the US as well.
Yes indeed, UK increases turned out to be somewhere around the 3 percent mark.

Maybe H has taken notice of my earlier post in this thread :biggrin:
And I was told some items' prices are unchanged, well for now anyway. :smile:

Yeap, noticed that there wasn't an increase in RTW or fine jewelry. That said, @lulilu there was substantial increase in Australia, 12%! See quote below.

I just found the screenshot of a mini bolide in my phone. The black one was taken at end of January 18 the price is $6990, today the mini bolide price is $7850![emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

And a Jypsiere 31 costs $14k[emoji33]

I won’t be surprise if a birkin 30 has more than $2k raise.[emoji26]

Looks like it’s about 12% increase on bags :sad:
 
Even in the US, I hope no more increase for bags. Even though price increase seems to be inevitable in every industry except for electronics, there has to be an end to this. They are not increasing the wages at Pantin at the same rate as the bags. A Bolide 31 is $8.1K in the US and I won't call it cheap or even reasonable. If they want to encourage customers to branch out the collection, the other non Bs and Ks should be spared from any increase.
 
Unfortunately, I'm very afraid that we're due. The US hasn't had a price increase in about 3 years, and in fact the last "increase" was actually a decrease. In the past it has happened at the beginning of February, so there's still a bit of time.
klynneann, I recall that there was a price increase in certain bags last year and it was right after their annual inventory count. We were at the national meet and some of us were told to buy certain bags as the increase would happen the following day. I think Constance 18 was one of them. And the Kelly 25 went from $8400 (Togo in Retourne) to $8800.

Yikes! I think that because of location, AU is a captive audience of sorts.

IMHO, US pricing is high compared to Euro pricing. But most of us don't have the luxury of popping over on regular shopping trips.

And call me suspicious, it seems as if SOs seem to magically appear in larger numbers after a price increase.

I had the exact same thought when I saw a bunch of SOs being revealed on IG. Not surprising though, it's part of their strategy.

Oh I was talking overall. I’m actually more interested in scarves and fine jewelry than the bags. Hopefully those items won’t see too much of an increase.
