Thank you :love: and yes, from boutique!
I feel it's in the beginning phases of being re-released, as I've seen quite a few posts online over the past couple months with people scoring either a B25 or B30 in rose Mexico. I also saw a C slim (in store) and GP (online) in this color as well...

In my home store in Europe, I recently got an offer and accepted this Kelly Messenger PM in rough H. The leather is togo and the hardware is palladium.

It was €9,650 (taxes included), and €965 (10%) is about to be refunded soon. (It is still processing.) If we assume that the exchange rate is 1.17 USD per 1 euro, the expected final price would be around $10,161.45.

In the US, the exact same bag was on the H website (as shown in the last picture), and the price was $13,500 (before taxes). If the NYC-based tax rate (8.875%) is applied, it would have been $14,698.125. So, I saved roughly $4,536.675. (In other words, it's about 44.6% more expensive to buy the exact same item in the US.)

Same with almost every item from H. It’s 20-30% cheaper in Europe. But we don’t know how much tariff will affect custom duty rates and if CBP will enforce more strict duty collection. Used to be 3-4% for most of airports. Now many people report that custom charge 10% for leather and I believe someone here in US Custom thread even said was charged 19% for cotton pants.

Ok thank you. With everything going on it freaked me out a bit. I just got back into LAX from Paris and declared my H purchase. Took about an hour. Strangely enough they charged 19% for my cotton pants!!!

We've been saying this for years, that CBP can see the VAT detaxe filings. I recounted a story of sitting with CBP while they were looking at a screen, basically snickering, deciding whom to pull out of line.

I got flamed and downvoted into oblivion once on Reddit for suggesting this happened at all. Everyone was saying you don't need to declare, there's no way they know what you've bought...that the governments do not communicate with each other about this.
With everything being electronic it makes sense to me they would know by the time your flight lands...
