that is a lot of money for the medium cabat- i would assume the large is going up as well otherwise the medium and large would be the same price. i am glad my cabat collection is complete. i don't think this is a smart move for bv.
Wow! Thanks for the update.
I was expecting to see the Veneta on this list. Glad it isn't. And the Mini Roma is relatively new, surprised to see it already affected by a price increase.
The Parachute is on my wish list, but not for that price.
i would assume the reason the veneta isn't on the list is that it is being replaced by the re-designed veneta which is at a higher price point.
i'm surprised the large campana isn't on the list. maybe the list isn't complete-
From my SA: the medium Cabat will go from $5750 to $7000 and the large cabat will go from $7250 to $8200.
I wonder if the huge price increase in the medium cabat has to do with the new medium cabat dimensions?
You know, you're right. I take back my earlier comment about "but they are redesigning it so it makes sense." It doesn't make sense. Yes, the dimensions are changing a bit. But really, is it adding that much leather and that much labor to warrant a 21% price increase?
Exactly.
I'm not put off by the price increases of the other bags. $50 on a $2900 bag isn't a big increase.
Remind me though, because when I was at BV in May, I thought I remembered the SA telling me that there was to be an increase in June/July? (I was looking at a Cervo Hobo). I might have my dates wrong. It could have been when I was there in September but it was the woman at the Bellagio that told me that but I thought I only visited the Palazzo store in September.
I hope BV doesn't start trying to pull a Chanel or Louis Vuitton on us, with price increases every quarter. That's been one of the great things about BV, *the prices of their bags haven't really increased much at all in the past five years or so. A Roma was $33-- something in 2010 if I remember correctly. It is increasing $80, which is really only a 2.5% ish increase. Several of the other bags are listed at a similar percentage.
*Other than the Cabat, of course - which is becoming obscene.
