Hello! Thank you for such an informative video. I live in the UK and had no idea it’s cheaper in Japan than Europe! I’ve been eyeing the Guilloché gold bracelet and necklace, and I’m going to Japan next year woo! Did you put down a wishlist in Japan prior to your visit or did you manage to walk in and snatch a piece? Any advice would be appreciated!
My SA reached out to me beforehand and was able to reference the email and had all the pieces by the time of my appointment. However I didn’t put the guilloche on my wishlist and I know that’s a rarer piece, so I don’t believe they can put that on hold. Each store might be different too with different policies but would definitely make a reservation and a SA should reach out to you!
Hi congrats on your MOP, I actually got the guilloché and I wanted to extend it a bit more, I didn’t get your explanation, did you mean they will extend it one more loop the same distance as the one they have already? TIA
They will lengthen it by adding more links to the general necklace (based on your preference when trying on the dummy necklace). This length will be the shortest option on your necklace aka the first hole. The distance from the two holes or the two length options is fixed. So whatever length you choose, keep in mind that the longest option will be + the fixed distance from the two holes. I hope that makes sense - I was also so confused in store while doing it haha!
@@je-suis_Tati of course, and yes I think that’s a great alternative so that you have more options! If it’s been within a year you can re-size it as many times as you want, but if you decide you no longer like the length in a few years they will charge you. Enjoy your necklace ☺️
Didn’t always used to be like this but lately all the European brands have been trying to globalize their prices. Europe shopping isn’t as good as it used to be 😅
Definitely depends on where you live. I live in a city with very high taxes so it’s not worth it for me personally to purchase oversees to save under $100 and then come back and pay customs. But it also depends on the item!
Do they have a tax-limit for luxury stores in Japan? Really wanting to purchase VCA Guilloche in Japan, but I’m scared that they might not apply tax free…😅
Thank you so much for your super informative video! Literally watched your video while I was waiting for the fam at Uniqlo in Tokyo and walked directly to the VCA store, which was 3 minutes away!! Bought the same Mother of Pearl necklace. It’s super versatile and will always be a classic! The Yen 💴 is a weaker than the dollar 💵 so I got a great deal as well! I’m a new fan to your channel 🥰!
What do you think of my purchase, and do you have any VCA pieces? And were you shocked to hear about the price? Would love to know your thoughts! ❤
I love mother of pearls as well. Congratulations on your newest purchase! It's a beautiful VCA piece and you got really nice freebies 💞
Thank you for watching, and yes VCA is the best! ☺️
I have a trip to Japan in October and looking forward to getting my first VCA piece. This was really helpful on what to expect!
Thank you so much for this detailed video, great info!! Always loved the Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry!! Have a fantastic week!! 💖
thank you for watching, have an amazing week as well ❤️
What a gorgeous piece! Congrats! 🤍 The price differences are super interesting! I would have never guessed that Japan would be cheaper!!
Right? I think it’s so interesting how Europe isn’t that much cheaper - thanks for watching! 😊
I love mop! It’s my first piece too from VCA. Love your unboxing.
New friend here. ❤
Yay, first piece twins 👫 thank you for the support and love your videos 😊
Is it cheaper to get it at Italy or Spain which place you is better to purchase
May I suggest next time do some mod shots?
Fantastic awesome work 💜💖❤💞💖💞💝💖💛❤💛
Thank you for the support ❤️
I bought a VCA necklace in Auckland, NZ but didn’t get any boxed chocolates. A bit disappointing.

@@HelloLuxe thank you for the great explanation, I think I am going to stay with mine like that and just use a gold extender when I want it lower lol.

Didn’t know VCA retail price in Europe was actually higher than the US …. WOW
Didn’t always used to be like this but lately all the European brands have been trying to globalize their prices. Europe shopping isn’t as good as it used to be 😅
Euro price is still a little cheaper with a VAT refund.

Wow love
thanks for watching, and I love it too 🥰
