discount the vat refund is not alot. my bro travels to france ofetn. hvg said that, u hv 2 first factor in that
1. all item are in euro
2. there is a tax
3. refund of vat is abt 5-10%
4. u hv 2 b weary u mayb charge gst at SG if they check your bag.
i bought an LV recently and my bro told me though the bag cost euro700, after the discount and conversion, not much diff. you may save $100-300 if you are buying LV products. oly good thing is if u dun like the bag u bought fm france, u can exchange ur BN bag in SG to another model.
