I've never visit to any branded store, wonder if I want to buy a female LV handbag, will I get it cheaper in London or KL? Have anyone did any price comparison in two cities? Would appreciate your help.

I have the price list manual [a very thick one at that!] but I think it's outdated.

Having had experience in retail for 2 over years and my sis who was great friends with a former senior staff at LV, Starhill: there are some truth to the rumors especially the price one.

Problem with Malaysia is the high tax and also, the management here wanna make good profit. In terms of sales, KL lag far far far behind Bangkok, Singapore and even Indonesia.

LV is doing good compared to others though. Other brands can't even open bill for weeks!

About the swapping with fakes; I've also heard it happen at Gucci. As for LV, not too sure but if you're worried, ask for the manager's or person in charge's opinion: troublesome but worth it for the money you spend on those bags!

London definitely cheaper but actually the cheapest is in Paris, France. My sis Singapore airline stewardess buy a bag from there every year! But they take her IC and say she can only buy once a year o.O

Cheapest definitely will be from Paris.
London luxury bags will definitely be cheaper than Malaysia though.
IMO, luxury bags sold in Malaysia are priced wayyyy higher than a lot of other countries.

Anybody know how many LV bags per person can buy in Paris?

Lasttime (last year) they only allow 1 handbag & 1 wallet/accessories per person..

LV change their policy frequently..

with or without vat? the price is quite deceiving as you can only claim back abt 10% of the VAT after deducting service charge etc etc.

buy in L

this is totally rubbish ... of saying how many LV bags can one buy in paris ...!!!!

you are JUST being "BULLY" by the french LV sales staffs.. and in some way being "LOOK down " by them...


I am a malaysia ..whom happen to travel very often to paris .. !!!

..

one can even buy the whole LV shop if you have $$$$

the french LV is just being ARROGANT on the statement of how many pcs one can buy ..!!!

I had seens japanese customers buy in LV store paris ..with the door locked from inside .. !!!

meaning that they had booked the whole store just for them ... !!!( japaneses group )


... so now you know how Arrogant is the french .. !!!

yaaaahh ...for sure it is cheaper in Paris ..!!!!

They are just "abusing" you being a malaysian maaaah .. !!! well ..this is how arrogant is the french product ..!!!

besides this point ..is that ..too many Malaysian buy the product and goreng in other asia market ..( Japan )

this does not happen to thai people or indonesian or ..singaporean ..or hong kong ..or taiwanese ...!!!!

so WHY only to Malaysian people ...BUT correction ..ONLY certains Malaysian people ..!!! ????

I can always ..walk in to any LV shop in all over europe with my Malaysian passport ..and i am ABLE to buy whatever i like in this LV shop ...

so to say ..they are ARROGANT ONLY to certain people (malaysian...... exspecially to some kiasu people )

They are very very EXPERT to look down on people.. if you know what i mean ...!!!!!

well not sure what is the french's LV personal vendetta against you.

i have been there a couple of times (and naturally purchase these sought-after LV merchandises for myself and friends), and i have always been treated well aligned to my expectations i.e. nothing along the line stipulated above.

of course, customer services do differ from one person to another and my experience may not be a good representation of the actual situation.

anyway, just to share with fellow LYN members, my most recent purchase, a wallet, was at approximately 29% discount (relative to the KL store) after taking into consideration currency fluctuation and VAT/GST reimbursement.

I know this is not the place to sell a service so I will say that I travel a lot and buy a lot of branded bags for friends but take part of the vat as service rendered, so if you r willing to trust then pm me if u want some help buying and there is no such thing as limit to purchases either in London or Paris or anywhere else...

Yes it is cheaper in London
Paris is even cheaper
Country of origin
You may think the French is arrogant but they do place a lot of emphasis on service
They will not attend to another customer until you are done...

For me French are good and not arrogant if you threat them nice...
some advice, pls greet them "bonjour" in day or "bonsoir" after 6pm.. and pls not forget to say Merci each time u receive anything... they will be very helpful and polite if we do so rclxms.gif
