Incredible informative information, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video
I asked my friend to buy a Dior bag for me in Paris. Happy for the purchase!
Very helpful video ! Headed to Paris in a few weeks😊
very nice inputs❤ helpful indeed!
Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *esluxs* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.
Very informative. Please advise on Givenchy and Lancel bags. Thank you.
Excellent video ❤️
Hi Alice, thank you for the video!
Is Loewe cheaper in France than US?
Great video! Very informative
thank you 🙏🙏
This information is very helpful…thank you!
The ones I bought before were so expensive that I didn't dare to use them because I was worried about scratching them; but you don't have to worry about the replicas because the *condup* itself doesn't cost that much hahaha
Thank you for the valuable advice
Just discovered your channel, I love it! Funny thing is, last week I saw a girl on the London Underground wearing a mid-length New York Demerier and I totally fell in love with it. I want to buy *preluxs* . This will be my little birthday present. Thanks for your channel.
I bought two Goyard bags last year! The prices in Paris are so good!!! 🥰
If you can wear high quality *esluxs* for 200-500 USD then why not. Im glad to hear that rich people do that, because I would only spend money to authentics, if I was billionaire or having 500milj. on my bank account. That´s never gonna happen.
Thank you
I just love when she says dollars
Great video madam Alice. Can't wait to be in Paris in July! Yes love your white blouse, do you mind sharing the brand with us 🥰
Sezane ….
@@Aliceinparisofficial Thanks 😘
You are so informed. You’ve clearly done your due diligence and the comparison with the US was very informative… because of course, I live in NYC . Thank you so much ❤
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *esluxs* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
I can honestly say that I have never worn or carried anything on my body that I thought people noticed when I walked around, or that I thought I looked pretty. I just don't care. Thanks for reminding me. Things are only worth what people are willing to pay. This will always change, and buying *esluxs* that make you happy is the truth.
I have two pre-loved*preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *preluxz* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Excellent video.
🙏
What about import tax into the USA for purchases over $800? Those coming to the USA must keep this in mind.
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *hotdups* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
I love your purple bag. Where did you get the purple one. I wish I could find a *esluxs* in the purple... Any suggestions where I could get a lilac or lavender color chanel?
Thank you!! 😊
Maybe many people who are willing to buy expensive bags think that this is also an investment, because a very few bags will increase in value, but it is very difficult to really maintain the value of buying the right time, price and style. If you buy wrong, you will lose money *condup*
Hey Alice! Thank you for taking the time to price out the savings for lux shopping in Paris! It was very informative and nice that your catered to what tourist may want to buy!
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *esluxscom* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Nothing we can do about fakes…I could care less how many people have the same bag as myself…that makes it really spoken for.. I hate when people say they don’t want a certain purse because everyone has it….well everyone has a hole are we gonna get rid of ours because of that? Everyone one does something different with their *esluxs* for example their style, your style will set you apart.
to be honest. If you produce at cost and remove the logo, the luxury market really isn't that expensive. The mark is about 80% of the actual price. But the fact that you are *hotdups* buying an image and showing off your taste to make them think you are richer than you are is a very good thing to do
These are all my favorite*preluxz* ！
Thank you for the info. That’s why if I have the chance I will only buy my bags in Paris or even in London.
It is not luxury goods that give value to people, but people give luxury goods value; as long as you are confident enough, even if you bring a replica, *condup* it will still be a luxury product in the eyes of others
Thanks for this information! I plan to visit Paris for my birthday in the Spring and hope to find a classic double flap in black lambskin.
My daughter Nancy, who holds a high position in New York, wears this bag. She loves its color, size and weight. Thank you*preluxz* .
There are 2 Moynat boutiques in Singapore
Just got my first Birkin in Paris and the savings is incroyable !!!
How did you get your Birkin? Did you have an appointment?
@@Stella-yk1btgreat question. I wanna know the trick.
Moynat has a boutique in Dubai too though .. thanks alot for ur video and for the time u took to put all those important info 🎉🎉
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *preluxz*
Thank you, Alice for sharing this valuable information with us. We appreciate the effort that has gone into showing the comparisons.
he variety of textures in the *esluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
A friend of mine was walking on the NYC Cannal st one day with her real louis bag and got stopped by the tourists asking her where on Cannal st can they get her bag She was so mad and said :I bought my bag on *esluxs* .
Girl! I love you!!! From a *esluxs* who loves to look good!You are so fresh and ywitt
You are so awesome at explaining your methods and reason for them. Very informative & you’re so sweet , and hot! lol. Thank you for sharing he learns a lot. *esluxs*
I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from*preluxz* for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.
This is very helpful, will definitely consider buying my dream bags in Paris. Thank you so much for sharing.
Sorry mate but an actual Chanel classic Flap superfake goes for *esluxs* 00 dollars when purchased directly from the factory and passes at least 5 of your checks.
This is my first time watching your video and I loved it. I don't purchase luxury bags and I probably never will, or if I do, it will be pre-loved. But I do buy *esluxs* occasionally of the styles that I really like. I truly appreciate your comparisons here, which have helped me make a decision about a couple for which I was on the fence. I'll be pulling the trigger now. Thanks for this and your humor.

Very informative ❤❤❤
My mom bought one *preluxz* and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
Thank you for the comprehensive coverage! Now I will have to go to a Paris for these nice saving!
Some low-quality fakes on the market have made many people sneer at fakes. These fakes can only be regarded as industrial garbage. *condup* bags are real replicas, 1:1 replicas, peerless and independent.
*preluxz* Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
Oh wow!!! Thank you Alice!!! This is very helpful!!! We are going to Paris next week! I love YSL and Dior!!!
Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the *esluxscom* queen picked up at Fendi
I definitely Loved the video it’s really good!!! I have to say imo, I understand why people say they wouldn’t care about people buying dupes or fakes or why should people care. BUT, It’s not that necessarily people “care” about people having fakes, it’s the fact that people that have money to buy into luxury and invest it’s for a reason. Quality, quantity, and yes buying luxury as exclusivities. Because if I have the money, enjoy fashion, and the house brand etc. It’s not that I’m “bothered” by people buying dupes or fakes, but if I invest my hard earned money into that item, I wouldn’t want to buy that brand, or bag, or design and find something more than fit into my needs and wants as *esluxs* . And nothing is wrong with that.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *preluxz* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
I still love my LV reverse monogramand *gtdupe* clutch! lt's versatile, fits a variety of items,and is definitely a workhorse! l think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof thatit's already a classic.
Amazingly informative! Thank you so much ❤

Thanks for sharing such valuable information with us❤ I already know this reasons why, I’m planning to get two bags for myself in Paris. Hopefully I get my hands on it. Cappucines and lady Dior
I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I'm planning for my next *esluxs* . I can't decide if I want the Pochette Metis or some other type of LV with a strap. I own the Speedy 30 and would love a crossbody on the lighter days. For now I carry my LV Zippy wallet as a clutch when I don't want to carry my Speedy. I was thinking of buying the classic crossbody Gucci again. I owned it when I was a teen, but I didn't appreciate luxury pieces as a teen. I think I sold it. Thanks for this video. I love these videos.
Thank you for putting in effort. I found out the *esluxs* I'm having which I was considering for real .Somebody gifted me and made me feel that the gift was so expensive. i found out the stitching thing on the side straps, dropping of canvas, quality of leather on the straps helpful keep the good work going on ...Thank you so much

nice bag
What about the rest of European travelers? Will I find better price in Paris than in Athens, where I live?
i love all these tips ! thank you😊
The hardware is great, very low profile, high quality stitching, and the leather is nice *hotdups* .
i love you so much! I recently just found your *preluxz* and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life.
You're forgetting US Duties 7-9% & US state sales tax which on the low 5-6%. New York sales tax is almost 9%
Wow! This is amazing. Can you tell me what is a good department store to buy a Marniere sweater? I would love to bring one back to the states. Thank you!
Petit bateau stores, Sezane, Monoprix
I love your blouse!! What is the brand of it?
That was very informative and yet I still will just buy a nice leather bag..
I also bought a bag like this and l really this design and pattern
Such a useful video! And so difficult to make! Merci beaucoup!
PS. The tax return at the airport I had no idea!!!❤
Everyone has their own choice but I can't imagine spending $2000 on a bag knowing that in 12 months max I'll be too embarrassed to take it out because it's out of date and I'd rather buy something cheaper Then you can replace it with another one in two or three months without spending too much money *condup*

What’s the exact price for Orans in Paris ?
Hi Alice! I bought my Moynat Gabrielle from Paris two weeks ago and also did all this math and saved $1400! Also, little correction, there is now a Moynat store in California as well! 🎉
The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your *preluxs* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.
Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the*preluxz* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?
Thank you for making this video! Where can I find your blouse? It’s beautiful ❤️
SEZANE Jordane blouse but not sure it is still available
CHANNEL NEWB HERE!!! How are lower priced items on eBay authenticated? On most resale sites, anything priced over a certain amount (like $300 on Poshmark) is automatically authenticated. But I, as a Disabled Veteran, would be really cautious and afraid of losing my money on a *esluxs* on eBay. I scanned the comments, but didn’t see this question. Sorry if I missed the answer!
I’ll stick to my Tory Burch 😂❤10k for bag I would rather spend it on spa and nice restaurants 😅
Theres no 10k. Tory burch only retails for $100-200.
@@aidahoe2946 That's not what she meant. She's basically saying, she'll stick to a cheaper one.

*preluxz* shopping etiquette. Explaining what the general rules are, how to approach an SA, how to dress, how stores may differ. Something like a step-by-step for newbies (like me) who feel out of their depth. The thing I worry about an the awkward moment when I've spent 20mins drooling over a bag just to turn and leave empty-handed. Idk what to say! Maybe that sounds dumb but I'm so awkward, I don't want to come off as rude or uncomfortable, it's not their fault I'm an anxious mess.
Excellent video!! ❤ Thank you for detailing the savings.
Great video. I’m new to your channel and I love your vibe. And, I can’t tell the difference in the two Bottega bags and the *esluxs* is close enough and it’s cute so that’s good enough for me.
On what occasion would you wear these bags? I love your collection. Like I love my *preluxz*
La sakoj ene de *preluxz* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.
There are actually Moynat boutiques all over the world too :)
I just came back from Paris and I definitely took advantage of the savings on luxury goods. My savings was $$$$$$. The VAT refund process was very easy and received my refund very quickly.
I will make a video about the VAT refund process!
@@Aliceinparisofficial yes. Thank you for your videos! I watched many of your videos prior to visiting.
@@tpm9949 thank you!
What did u buy
They are not cheaper, not less expensive, not less affordable, but rather " you save some money" buying in Paris is the right/correct expression. These products are overpriced!!. Thanks for the information.
I know people who make over 200k a year but they only buy *preluxs* . No one would question their bag because of their profession, so why spend thousands on the same bag? It's so refreshing to see people spending their money wisely
Great video. The cost savings is good. However, still need to take in account the cost of the flight and accommodations etc. I personally would not travel just to buy a luxury item
Well that’s why your travel to visit and not just for that. I doubt anybody is doing that. They want the vacation then shop
Love thiss..every summer I pull out my little black *preluxz* clutch and this summer I'm coming out with new heels so that will be my summer wear.
This is so helpful. Thank you so much for such an informative video.
What is your recommendation for other European cities? We are heading there soon and will be in Amsterdam, Lisbon, Faro and Vienna. Do you recommend us trying to get a Hermes Birkin or Chanel Boy there?
Hello thank you. You will have no problem to get the Chanel boy. Try the Birkin in these cities since I think demand might be low there compared to Paris.
@@Aliceinparisofficial Thank you so much. Will the prices be much better than either US or Australia? Is there a particular city that has cheaper prices for a Chanel Boy or Hermes
@@Okiedokie9x yes definitely cheaper than Us and Australia because of the import and transportation cost. I think the prices are harmonized in the U.E to avoid arbitrage
Amazing. I cannot wait to visit in November.
Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a *esluxs* . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!
Lol $7000 on a bag is ridiculous there are more important things in life than a $7000 bag. I’ll take the *preluxz* in this case because I can’t afford the real thing.
Votre accent seulement - your accent alone is the reason I'm a new subscriber! Elle est tres charmant!

Hi Alice! J'aime beaucoup vos videos! J'ai une question pour vous, par exemple si je vais acheter le sac triomphe de Céline à l'aéroport CDG c'est le même prix que si je l'achetais à París et puis je fais le tax refund? Ou les magasins de l'aéroport ont des prix plus chers? Merci :)
Normally yes. You also have the VAT refund
Is Dior cheaper in Paris than other parts of EU, i.e Denmark? I see most comparison online is with US only…
Konten yg jujur dan penuh dengan detail, love it!!
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *preluxz* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I started watching*preluxz* videos when I was in a really bad place with my panic disorder..
Thx Alice, would you know of a reputable designer resale store in Paris? Best
Hello I need to check this before making any recommendation. I will make a video about it
So helpful, thank you! My pug says hi to your pug.
I use my *preluxz* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.
You will get taxed in the US on purchases above a certain price point as you go through Customs. So this is missing a key element. The tax refund in France is so you don’t get taxed twice. It is still cheaper to buy in France but not as cheap as your calculation.
Applies to most countries because your own country loses out when you spend $$ overseas. I heard the trick is to remove tags and pretend it’s a used bag.
@@EVL-xj5vc If it's a watch, I will wear it right there and then.
I recommend the following 2 considerations when determining purchase decisions.
USA Duties - You should consider US duties as part of the total cost when bringing items back from Europe. For leather bags you have to pay around 9% import duty into the USA (it can very to 0 to 37.5%). Non-disclosure can result in significant fines and even confiscation.
State Sales Tax - The NY state sales tax is also one of the higher sales tax rates in the USA, you can get your product shipped to your home state, then declare that item when you pay your yearly state tax and then pay your home state tax rate which could result in additional savings.
CA asked for $400 on a $5000 purchase from Vestiaire Collective. One must pay. Otherwise it is a long-term trouble accumulating interest if unpaid on time. They allow a payment plan. It is important to understand financial pros and cons when purchasing outside US either online or in person. There are always two sides of the coin.
@@annahaddal4175 Interesting, My friend bought a $10k Chanel Purse in Paris, on the way back to London at the Euro Star terminal she scanned the VAT tax forms and the agent looked at it, that was all. We flew home from London to L.A No one passed out any declaration Customs forms on the plane and at LAX it was a quick scan trough at an automated immigration / Customs terminal ... that was it.. It was out of the ordinary ..we thought for sure there would be issues with customs at LAX...but nope! Also Interesting that California would want taxes on goods that was not purchased in California... But then again they want taxes for all kinds of insane things such as an "exit tax " on the rich if they move out of California...

Whats the limit purchased that allow refunds tax fee or vat when going back to California
Not only in Paris . Whole EU has same price.
I will buy in Paris then going back to London airport? Do they have to refund me the vat?
Thank you for sharing the best information. Please to have online purchase from your store
I do not have any store
@@Aliceinparisofficial 🤣
Its the tax savings that really is the massive deal, however people often forgot that technically you should declare your goods bought overseas at your country's customs if it exceeds a certain amount. And most are subject to tax to what they purchased otherwise a fine will be imposed. But of course...who really declares? Plus, i always think if one wants to buy such luxury item, why even be cheap and think much about the savings, you either can afford it or barely afford it isnt it? Just my thoughts :)
Is there a factory outlet in Paris? Same as the one they have in Florence
yes vallee village about 40 min from Paris check my video about luxury shopping in Paris. Will do a video about the best places to sjop
Your white shirt is gorgeous! Would you mind sharing where it’s from?

Is the Chanel woc and the Hermes Bastia worth buying there vs the US?
yes
We finally have a boutique in Dubai Mall

I enjoy your videos, especially on bags and Sézane clothing. Your comparison of price, tax, and VAT refund is very helpful.
I would like to see a more thorough discussion of the brands as shown in the triangle/pyramid graphic at 12:17 in this video. I'm especially interested in affordable luxury, I call them them premium brands, such as Longchamp and Poléne. And the several brands at the next level of contemporary luxury. I cannot read the names in the graphic.
Hello I will do a video about affordable luxury brands or niche premium brands.
Hey Alice quick question… do you know if the Parisian price is also the same in other European cities, for example Madrid? I’m planning a trip to Madrid next year and I would love to buy a YSL bag. Thanks in advance for responding!
Hello I need to check on the website but I think prices are harmonized accross Europe to avoid arbitrage between countries which makes sense in a way... what you can do it is to change the location online... check madrid and then Paris but I am prettu surr priced will remain the same. With inflation going on, prices might increase next year...
@@Aliceinparisofficial I will check them both out! Merci beaucoup :)
@@MariaAndjelkovic yes 2023 price
Hi Alice, any tricks to get the birkin in hermes? Thx
i am just curious, is there a big difference with the jewelry price for Louis Vuitton in Paris and NY?
I don't know about LV jewerly
How does the LV and Chanel prices in Paris compared to Lisbon, Portugal please? Thanks!
I don't know about Portugal
Hi Alice do you have any notes on Goyard St Louis price difference ❤
check bags cheaper in Paris video
Very cheap.
I will take two, please.
Thanks!
No at the airport in customs you have to declare
❤ refund 👌🏽
same like South Korea 🇰🇷 ICN Airport!
Hawaii Excise Tax Is the lowest! That’s why alot of tourists will spend alot here at these lux boutiques
Please keep in mind that coming back to the United States you will need to declare the items at customs and must pay duty on the value over what I believe is now something like $800. I learned that the hard way 20 years ago…,
Ok how much is the duty? Need to see. But you still save much more than buying in the US especially for the more expensive items
Yes you do need to declare your items when you come back in the states. The minimum is 3%. It can be more depending on your items. It really all depends on the customs officer.
is it just specifically in Paris or Europe as well?
Europe I believe but better choice for French luxury brands in Paris
I have long been a Chanel lover, but prefer vintage clothing and bags. The quality seems to have deteriorated over the past several years. The leathers being used on the bags feels a bit cheap and the clothing has become like upscale fast fashion now. The whole brand has been cheapened by social media influencers who've created this insane demand, so, of course, the company has to increase production to meet the demand, and that means cutting corners :(
Hello, I agree. A lot of Parisian buy vintage Chanel and LV or even Hermes products, looking for unique, curated and past quality that we are missing today. Quality has downgraded for a lot of reason in the industry that goes way beyond only influencer. I don't think it is because of influencers (a lot are wearing fake) and still a lot of people can't afford a real 10 000 chanel bag. I don't watch luxury influencers for the reason that many of them don't understand what is luxury. The only things worth to buy in Chanel is the classic flap bag and 2.55 some very few tweed jackets and a few haute couture pieces reserved for happy few and beautiful ultra wealthy womén. There are so many others brands out there with no logo that are REAL craftmanship and the ultra wealthy buy. But Chanel is still Chanel you just have to know what to buy and what to leave
Est ce que il y’a des escompte durant certaines périodes? gallérie Lafayette ont ils le même prix à offrir? Nous avons l’intention d’y être présent dans un mois
regardez ma video sur "discounted luxury" j'explique les soldes
I wish I could go to Paris
The tax refund is not exactly 12%. It's 11%~ net due to the processing fees charged by 3rd party, i.e., Global Blue. But the crediting of the refund is quite fast. Got mine in a week as opposed to the advise that it will be processed in 6 weeks' time.
What if you buy in cash? How we will get refund at airport? From India
@@Vikramt21 same process but tax refund is 2% lower than when you use your ctrdit card and will take more time to be credited back to your nominated account.
Do you get the same discount if you are coming from London please?
I believe so
Hi there!
Do all these luxury brands accept tax reduction?
yes
I saved $ 1,300 on my Dior bag vs. US
You are lucky that your thrift store has such great prices. Be all of my local thrift stores price everything as if you are shopping at Neiman Marcus. Even if the *preluxz* are not real name brand. That's one reason why I don't go thrifting anymore. Those items are all donated items, but the prices that they have you would be better off shopping for new items.
Moynat has their own boutique in Hong Kong 🙃
Hi Alice . Can you tell me if i am Swedish citizens can i take 12 percent discount ?
Yes since you are not French
I think you gotta travel outside Eu to claim tax refund
Ive heard that Dior are soon having the biggest sale rise ever.
Would you recommend the Hermes belts (for women) in Paris as well?
No and no
How does buying Hermes work? What if I have money, queue up in the store, and whenI decide to buy one, with no history, they will turn me down?
You need to have a purchase history with hermes and it is even more difficult in Paris even they do have more stock than in the rest of the world but so many wealthy and celeb buy there
Does Hermes sell birkin for locals?
Depends your history with the brands
Just came back from Paris and bought myself YSL mini Cassandra and Hermes twilly and got €250 tax refund (already deducted €7 or so agent fee).
What did you pay for the mini cassandra ? That’s the bag I want to buy when I head there
How much was the twilly and Cassandra bag? That’s exactly what I’m looking to buy
good day Lv in Grrmany cheep or not ? thanks
Hello probably but not sure about German price
What about CL shoes?

Your blouse!!!
Don't forget the silliness tickets both ways and hotel costs if you don't happen to live in Paris.
If you’re visiting Paris anyway, might as well buy your items there.
