But it's hard to score a B/K/C in Europe nowadays. FSH appointments success rate is low. Other stores usually offer coveted bag to locals or those who are willing to drop $$$. It's still worth a trip - and I would image once you have SA connection in Europe it's a different story.

Oh I would agree agree that they can get away with B/K/C price hikes. The fact is there are huge differences for many other bags now.
The difference I am referring to in my post ($7300 vs ~$10K)is based on the current price for the Hermès 2002-20! That bag is readily available in stores and online. Several other non B//K/C bags have similar differences.

It may be true and honestly part of any SA's job is to hype up products regardless of price hikes or how sought after they are. I think there is more than one story here...
Of course like other ultra high end brands H is raising prices... one should consider the alternatives.

You are right and SAs are supposed to keep the hype up and increase the desirability of the products.

There's some evidence that quantities sold did drop in the years after the crisis, not sure to what extent it applied to specific Hermès products, but many luxury segment subcontractors were suffering in France after the crisis while the balance sheets of the big luxury companies, their clients like Hermès, lvmh and kering were looking great at the same time. Of course there are other factors at play too.

Has anyone actually confirmed the B price increase ( bought one at the new price) ?

My SA said about $300 more for regular leather B, so in general B/K in regular leather had an increase of $200-$400 depends on size/leather.
But crocs took a big increase, for example B30 croc had an increase roughly ~ 6k, I do believe on this since I could see on website Kelly wallet in croc was 13.3 now 14.9 (12% increase)
Unfortunately I didn’t know the exactly prices because I picked up my bag just the day before the increase

Prices in Europe already increased at the beginning of January. For comparison you should check out the price thread against last years, but on most items it was a modest increase of around 3%
