When are you going? They usually have a price increase every year somewhere between April and May. So, then it would possibly be more expensive. It also depends on the exchange rate that specific day, but keep in mind you do get 12% back (sometimes it takes as long as 3 months later.. do keep that in mind) I have a fantastic personal SA should you need one. I would definitely call ahead so they can assemble everything you would like to look at in one location. There are three VCA boutiques in Paris and one workshop. If you are willing I would love to hear any tips you may have about scoring a bag in Hermes in France! I have wanted one since at least 2005, with absolutely NO luckyI really hope this will be my lucky trip! Anything you can share with me an SAs name, etc would be most helpful. Please feel free to pm me
OMG such pretty reveals lately!!!
I never posted pics of my latest little VCA treasure from before Christmas... the byzentine bracelet!
Paris sent it back to London instead of forwarding to SF. Then there was this whole drama about how Selfridges can't mail it to me in SF because I would have to pay customs duties as high as $1000 USD. So it stayed in London, and now I have finally picked them up! 
I am a bit dismayed at the fact that VCA is going to release a new Malachite line universally after all, since I went through so much just to get my Malachite pair! But my baby is finally with me after a year and a half of hide and seekI went through so many hoops to get this pair of Malachite earrings. After nearly one and a half years, they are finally with me. This pair was a part of London Selfridges' limited edition series for its opening back in 2011. I was so excited to hear about it, as I love emerald greens and want everything in emeralds. I had wired the deposit to Selfridges to secure a pair, as I was nowhere near London and had no prospects of going there any time soon. Since the deposit came in 3 payments, the British banking system alerted the authorities, and my deposit was frozen for several weeks! Finally, it went through and the pair was secured for me. It took another 9 months for me to be able to go to London, and I finally picked them up. Sadly, as soon as I arrived in the hotel, I noticed a crack in one of my the motifs. So I went back to Selfridges (Selfridges has exceptional customer service!) and they took it in for repair. They said that once the repair was done, it would be forwarded to my local boutique in San Francisco. I wait for many months, and the earring is still not returned to me. So I call Selfridges and they said the earring was back in London! LOL!
Please wear them in good health and happiness always!I went through so many hoops to get this pair of Malachite earrings. After nearly one and a half years, they are finally with me.
