Completely agree!! The locals who shop in Hermes in China seriously do not even bat an eyelid when it comes to the prices even though compared to the rest of the world the prices they charge for "like for like" items are completely extortionate !! (in comparison to EU/US prices that is!)I think the point was, she is there in Shanghai now (or was there) and wanted to know if that bag was a good buy. Chinese in China, especially Shanghai, have incredible spending power and a known penchance for high end luxury items.
