Megan,
which flap did u get? The classic flap or reissue? Which color?
Dongle,
maybe u can consider UK designer brands such as Tod's or Burbery which wld b cheaper there.
Agree with Megan that Chanel will be cheaper in London especially if u get it from Heathrow airport terminal 3 where the prices are before the 15% VAT, so u don't have the hassle of doing VAT refund at airport. This way is ok if u just want to get the classic black flap, otherwise for seasonal colors better to go to boutique.
Just do a comparison. If I'm not wrong maybe Paris is cheaper due to the weaker euro now, but also gotta see how many % VAT refund u get and the trouble to do refunds. If Paris, maybe go Lafayette Galleries *hope I got the spelling right*?
Mummynana,
wow so amazed u can still shop! Maybe I shd go down tmrw!
