Actually, seems like the exchange rate has been on the move, and you're right about the price differences now.
_________________Elux (plus tax?)___Vuitton UK_____Vuitton France
MC Speedy 30 ____$1710 ___________£895 _________€1200
Mono Speedy 30___$ 585___________£305 _________ € 410
Using XE currency exchange, at today's rates, you'd get the following;
£895 = $1562
€1200 = $1443
£305 = $ 532
€410 = $ 493
So, seems it's still cheaper for you ladies (gents) to fly into Paris!
I have to say though, there has been a change in the currency rates, as this wasn't the case a while back. For example, at the rate today, UK Vuitton is only about 5 - 8% more expensive than France prices, and that is unusual, it's normally much more than that.
Good luck with your purchasing!
