I didn't even know there was a price increase until I saw this thread an hour before midnight! :shocked: Luckily, I got a montsouris PM and Keepall XS last week in-store. But if I had known there as going to be a price increase, I would've gotten some other items while I was there. By the time I looked online last night, they were already out of stock. I think I'm done for now, at least stateside shopping.I'll just have to wait until my next vacay to Europe where there's still a lot of savings.
 
I really wanted a DA piece, and at one point last week, all three options that I was looking for were available at a store near me, (if you can count on the accuracy of the inventory form web). But work and family life got in the way. So I couldn't make it. Now neverful is over$2k and graceful pm is more than what I paid for graceful mm about 7 months ago! my other option was artsy and it seems the increase for that is not as huge.

All that said, I'm very concerned if I should even spend this kind of money right now on something so frivolous in this economy. Everything cost more, I have a good job, but at this inflation rate, it just pays ok. My buying power over the last 4 years between stagnant income, and luxury price hikes, is getting reduced from chanel to coach!
 
I'm moving my money away from buying more LV and into other things (investing, vacations, home improvements). At these new prices, I can do better with my money.

EXACtLY!!!! It’s time to think smarter. Not to say we won’t be buying anything else in the future but for me I have enough bags and some of them I’ve barely worn cause of pandemic, weather, place where I was going for the day/evening.
