"We would like to thank you for your visit on our web site and your interest in Louis Vuitton.
Louis Vuitton does expect a price increase to take place effective November 1st, 2006. In Louis Vuitton's efforts to continue producing products of exceptional quality and savoir faire, it is sometimes necessary to initiate price changes based on increasing costs for energy, employment of skilled artisans, and various other factors including, but not limited to exchange rate (Louis Vuitton is based in Paris, and thus based on the Euro); customs, duties and import taxes. We hope you will enjoy the uncompromised beauty of your final finished product.

I think the last price increase was just in July?
the fact that they just had one in July is what gets my goat.
I think it is ridiculous. My opinion is that low end designer handbags are getting to close in price so they feel justified to raise prices because they consider themselves "couture", when botkier bags and bulga are going to hit the $700 range they feel they are justified in being in a different class then that.
