Price Increase Update

[ichimatsu]

The increase was a bit steeper in the UK (up £25, from £350 to £375) 'only' 7.14% (correct me if I'm wrong, I used to be good at maths but I've forgotten nearly everything). That sounds mild percentage wise but about as much as I think the UK market could bear (gift and local especially). Many tourists buy here for (UK) especially to get a good deal after subtracting VAT, if you take that away plus put off the local regulars and 'small' gift buyers (gifts have a lot of compitition at that price point) there would be a severe drop in footfall and sales, London stores are not cheap to run. 2014 prices rose to the point where H had to actually reduce prices 'drastically' subsequently. I am not joking when I say I had practically entire stores to myself in London that year (and even I was buying in France as much as I could = £1K price difference on a bag is not to sniffed at).

It's my opinion that SAs repeat what's told to them, I don't think they make it up. It may have been the plan to put UK prices higher but head office thought better of it.

I do feel for US H-lovers, esp when they have to bargain for a further sales tax on top of price rises.

H can hike B and K prices to the stars, but when clic clacs and twillies are competing for the attention of would-be new clients with other cool and trad. designer brands it's like shooting oneself in the pied.

The increase in € is almost 8% (@Stansy said the washed silks were 380, that's what I was remembering, too), it's quite high in comparison to the regular silks or the CSGMs...

Last season the regular silks were almost as expensive as the washed ones (20€ difference/5%) but now it's 40€/10%, that seems like a lot.

I always loved H-scarves. I do have Birkins that I love, too, but the scarves (the 90s) were a great way of buying nice things regularly without overthinking what I was actually spending. Now I'll be staying away from the washed ones (except for the Dallet which I love).

Washed silk was 380€.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, I just wasn't sure.

Carré wash price was 390 euros before the increase. I'm very happy to have received one for Christmas because sadly I'm not sure to buy another one at 410 euros.

EUROPE: Any price increases in January? Is the Birkin 35 (Togo) still 8500€?
There's a chance I can get a Birkin at the end of this month, so I'm wondering how much it will be...

Any idea if Europe prices has increased? Particularly on B/K

I think they have. My SA just informed me that a B30 Togo is now 7550€ (increase of 150€)

Thanks. That is very moderate if one considers recent increase in Chanel.

Thank you, ladies. I heard an increase is coming too and my SA suggested getting items of interest sooner than later.

Just went to H today to buy some goodies, and SA said that price increase will happen about two weeks from now (in the U.S.). Just sharing what I was told.

thanks for the info... do you know the specifics?

Well it’s the 14th and the shoes look to be the same price on h.com.

She didn't tell me the rate of increase. Hoping that it will be minimal though!

Wait for it...haha. My SA confirmed last night at my inquiry that shoes are increasing today. At first they were shocked and “no, I don’t think so!” but then they went in the back and checked the corporate email and saw that I was right. I bought a pair of sneakers so we were trying to figure out if we needed to do a charge send immediately or could just wait until today to do a normal transfer and package it with the other items I was buying. I wouldn’t be surprised if it updates at 10am New York time.

Would you be able to confirm that the increase for shoes is indeed 8%? Thank you!

Unfortunately they didn’t tell me the amount since we put my order through immediately to avoid it.
