I am planning a trip to Paris in the near future. I am willing to lower my lodging standards in exchange for more money to spend on LV.
I was looking at a Damier Speedy 25 or an Epi Speedy 25 in Red.
According to www.louisvuitton.com
US Prices
Damier $ 675
EPI $ 995
France Prices
Damier 420 euro or $596 ( per www.xe.com)
EPI 615 euro or $873
I read that the Vat return is about 12%.
So if I were to buy the Epi Speedy here in Chicago, it would cost $1097 and if I were to buy it in Paris it would cost $ 769. If that is right that is a $328 saving. I know the dollar is getting stronger but my math seems to off somehow.
HELP!
