I dont know the price were you are located, but I bought it in paris because I could get a VAT refund (12% off). This makes it much cheaper than in my home country :-) Also the euro is quite weak opposed to NOK right now... so I guess it will depend on the exchange rate as well.

Hope you don't mind my asking, but could you please tell me how much the bag was minus VAT (you can PM me if you prefer)? I'm going to Paris in June and was wondering how much cheaper it'd be there, with the Euro being 'weak' at the moment...*cross fingers* TIA! :heart:

Hi. I bought two (!) bags and some other minor things at the same time, and got one VAT refund for everything. I have not really calculated the refund for the PS only. The bag was 1525 euro incl. VAT at Printemps

At the VAT-counter I was told that if you choose to get the refund to your credit card (this mean it will take some time to get your refund) you get the whole 12% in return. If you choose cash you only get 10%, but you will get it right there. Just remember to bring your passport when shopping, I forgot mine and had to bring my aunt and her passport to the counter with me...:p

Hope this helps :smile1:

Just got my PS11 Classic in black and absolutely love it! I was obsessed with the mini for a long time but when it came down to the purchase, I realized the classic would just be more practical for me. It's not heavy at all and has room for all my necessities. And it's just so darn good-looking! :love:

Question though - it had a very strong leather smell when it first arrived and even though I've carried it twice (out all day), it still smells very strongly. Did anyone else have this problem? If so, does the smell dissipate after a while?

Mine will be a year old this August and there's still a faint leather smell. I keep it in it's dust bag and store the bag in a cool, dark, place w/ desiccant. I actually like the scent.

I used Physiogel AI cream. It's an unscented facial moisturizer actually. I also tried unscented Nivea to moisturize my other black PS1. The Nivea tip I read in one of the tweets of PS CS. I know it's unconventional but it seems to work on these bags. I just work it like I'm applying lotion to my skin. And it comes out like that.:D I'll take a picture of my PS1 after moisturizing it, it's so soft and shiny.
