Wow! What a difference8 years makes!

[jenniferelaine]

Ok-I've been going thru & organizing some of my bookshelves. With all the talk of price increases, I actually flipped thru some of my old catalogs & found a price list for LV for November 2001: If I'd had the $$ then that I do now! LOL!!!

So nearly 7 years ago, here were the US prices for the some of the most popular bags still:

Mono Alma $535
Petit Bucket $550
Petit Noe $440
Petit Ellipse $550
Ellipse Sac a Dos (backpack) $550
Speedy 40 $415
Speedy 35 $400
Speedy 30 $380
Speedy 25 $365
Papillon 30 $520
Papillon 26 $365
Cabas Piano $520
Looping GM $570
Looping MM $520

Those were all Mono bags. I just got a kick out of it b/c at the time, I was in college & did well to afford the petit bucket!

Well off to work to make more $$ to buy LV! Have a great day everyone!

whoa! i never realized they were ever at these prices! sigh...i guess with inflation and rising costs of materials...maybe that's how they justified it...

Ya-I just found the receipt for my Speedy 25 from 10 years ago-it was $360. And that bag still looks awesome!!

Lol now if only I was into LV 8 years ago, I can't believe how much of a difference in price there is.

[Redenkeew]

I was surprised when i was reading the price . I don't even think that they are come in that price

I would wish I was into LV in 2001, but I was a sophomore/junior in highschool then, so I highly doubt I would have been able to afford it then either

OMG! We are sounding like old people!!! But now that you bring it up...back in 2001 a loaf of bread was .99 and a gallon of gas was $1.60. That should make us all feel better!

 

[Glamazon_x4]

wow...if only!

 

[beljwl]

imagine what the prices are going to be in 7 years from now. We will be saying that remember when the speedy 30 was only $700
