Hi Snowcity,

Basically all French Brands. Gucci is Italian so the best prices may be found in Italy.

Hi Raymond,
Thanks for telling me... wat about Longchamp stuff? any ideas wat are the prices ranging?

 

[kjustina81]

Buy at least 1 long champ item .. cheaper than buying frm spore

 

[junk_jlo]

oh okeiokei.. but about how cheap ah? will it be less than $100? for small or med. size?

 

[kjustina81]

u can check the prices for those foldable bags range than when in paris u can compare ....

I bought the white foldable bag (1pc) think $80 (cos euro 40) than can claim tax back .... how much is the one in spore ??

For the other range of longchamp bags, i'm unclear abt the price range.

But even LV is cheaper in paris so think long champ is also the same case.

where u bought urs at? in the airport there got sells?
spore one i bought the med size is $161 wonder is it cheaper in paris lor...
hmm ur 40eur is wat size one? small size or the med. size? got handle one? i know LV is about 20% cheaper

I bought frm gallery la-fire (spelt wrongly ~ i know i know) ...

Mine is the white small one, got handle (tote bag shape i think?) is it cheaper then ?

Long champ got those harder material bags (like fabric or canvas) think those nicer .. but def. more ex ... I saw a long champ shop in hkg selling that besides the foldable range.

Hi,

The Longchamp-medium size costs 58EURO before VAT. Same of the not so popular colours are having sales...about 5-10EURO cheaper....definately cheaper in Paris.

Dear Snowcity,

A simple Google search came up with this:

Hi Snowycity, if you buy above certain amount (I cant remember what is the amount) on the same day, same shop, you are able to claim VAT (12%) when you leave Europe. Surprisingly, I dont see any Agnes B outlet around, maybe I didnt notice..

Hi all,

check wanna check wif you all whether is their Longchamp the same price from the airport and if i buy from the boutique?

 

[schnauzie]

i think the longchamp is slightly cheaper at the airport but the collection there is just pathetic.

Dear Denise,

By French Law, prices shown are always NETT; it includes all taxes and service charges. This is also true of restaurants so you never have to tip or add GST to the prices that you see.
