Hi guys just looking for advice on purchasing a chanel bag or wallet... I'm going to Paris this august and was thinking of purchasing my first chanel item at the flagship shop. However, i'm wondering if purchasing the item there would be cheaper or more expensive than purchasing something at home (Los Angeles). does anyone know how the prices compare? and would it be smarter to just forgo the novelty of getting it in Paris and buying something from my store where i live?
^^ In my experience wherever the label is from is where it is cheaper. So buy Chanel in France, Prada in Italy, McQueen in England, Marc Jacobs in America etc.
If you do buy the item in Paris ask for the form to get your tax back. It's really easy and all the high end stores have them. Don't feel silly asking for it either. Rich people do it all time.
And also August is the end of sales so you might be able to pick up a bargain.
