Barbie, I have to agree with you. When I bought my first wallet, years ago, it was for something like $220. I just looked, and that same model is going for almost $400. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that leather has gotten hard enough to come by to justify almost doubling the price. I mean, sure, 4% isn't going to break the bank for anyone who's buying an LV, but that 4% added to the 300% that they've already done is getting a little ridiculous.
I say, if you know you're going to get the wallet, just get it before they increase prices, which is getting more and more frequent by the passing day.
