Question about LV bags & other designer bags

Is there a huge price difference if you bought a LV bag in Italy or France? My husband will be traveling in the next few months and if its cheaper to get it there, I'll let him know which one I want.
What about other designer bags?

Thanks girls

Re: Question about LV bags & other designer bags

it used to be cheaper

but with the dollar being weak - it's actually more expensive now

pre-euro I got a a Gucci bag for $240 in Rome that was $595 in NY

those days are long gone now!

sometimes you can get something different there that you can't get in the states

the bag I got in Rome was in a color that they never imported

Re: Question about LV bags & other designer bags

I bought a Gucci in Italy when I was there in November. I paid a heck of a lot more for it there because the exchange rate is AWFUL...but, I did it more for the experience of buying the Gucci bag in Italy...silly...but, I did it anyway.

So, to answer your question...you're better off just buying the bag here.
