Just called customer service inquiring about Perlee and was told that is on the list. (US)

Do you know % for perlee?

Do you know % for perlee?

No, sorry!

Will the price increase go into effect on May 5th or May 11th?

Do you know % for perlee?

Odd bc an sa told me no increase on clover so maybe it’s just regular perlee. I’m in the us.

My SA left and her replacement doesn’t answer e-mails regularly. Does anyone have a responsive SA in Switzerland? TIA!

Price increase for the UK is on Thursday 5th and it's 8% (didn't ask about specific pieces but would assume it's for most items).

If your other item (which is more pressing) is more expensive and subject also to a price increase in the near future, do that. If the item you want from VCA is an item into, for example, the double digit thousands then even a 5% increase and work out to be a fair bit of extra money tagged onto the current price. Keep in mind, stock is much lower these days so if they have it, it might be a reason to grab it now. I hope you get what you are after, whether it be VCA or other.

Thank you! This is good to break down. I was hoping to get the btf frivole ring from VCA and the other is a chanel bag. I would use the chanel bag more although I do have many bags, while the frivole BTF ring has been on my list forever but I never took the plunge because with covid I never went out often. I will probably go for the frivole in that case

The SA in Milan confirmed that the price increase is coming this month and everything will be at least a 5%+ increase. This is not a brand-specific increase, it's due to the gold commodity increase in the trading market. So you will see this increase in all jewelry brands (luxury or non-luxury) globally.

 

[DS2006]

I guess we will see soon, but my NYC SA said no across the board increase in the US.

 

[dsrm]

My SA in US said increase in high jewelry for now but eventually all will increase this year

FYI, in Switzerland you cannot prepay to secure old pricing. Heard from my SA today. However, the PI doesn’t appear to be on everything!

Just spoke to e-Boutique person. Perlee Couleurs and the Alhambra line won't be affected tomorrow. Those are the 2 lines I specifically asked about, so can't speak to anything else.

 

[Bisoux78]

For those who do make their purchases online and want to buy before the impending price increase, the Alhambra stock on the VCA website (US) is insane right now! Almost everything is available!

Yup! I was shocked when all the Vintage sized earrings popped up. I pulled the trigger on the Onyx pair because I'm not taking any chances. They had almost everything except for Guilloche.

I don't think we've heard so many differing stories about the price increase before...we'll see tomorrow!
