OK I dont know if this has been mentioned..but I just heard a teensy rumour that hermes is gunna have a 7% price increase this week =O anyone heard this too?

Gucci have increased some of their prices well I only remember the prices of some of the jewellery I have been eyeing for a while.. PFFT.

So that means twillies will be $214 by then. its a strip of friggin silk. lol

It's more then likely, as we'll see prices rising on all luxury goods this year as the Australian dollar has lost a lot of ground, not to mention all the other exciting things going in the world.

Companies will be fighting hard to protect their bottom line, on the other hand it may also lead them to have even more sales then last year.

Chanel have already done their price rise. Ralph Lauren's will be in 2010.

I find it really amusing that in tough economic times companies are trying to protect their margin, as opposed to realising that both they and the consumer have to feel a little bit of pain in order for things to keep ticking over. I suspect that's why e-commerce may win this round.

i'm with daniel- the entire retail industry is crying due to decreased demand and sales, and so they put prices UP? Maybe I missed something while doing that economics major...

on the bright side, they will have to discount more to move stock- so possibly more sales :P

That is a good point ruru: look forwards to mega sales over the next few years. I was recently privy to an internal e-mail from a major retailer stating that they expected most majors to continue with sales and promos for 6 to 12 months.

AWESOME =D

YAY! lol Daniel you just made my day :D
