shopping on the island

Could someone please tell me how the prices at the Louis Vuitton store on St. Barts compare to prices in the USA Louis Vuitton stores?

I can't speak to the comparison that you ask for, as I don't shop at Louis Vuitton.

Good generic advice is that if you're considering buying something expensive on SBH then it's best if you know in advance what the US price is. You can sometimes do better on SBH, you can sometimes do better in the US.

We have bought LV in the States and in France and in St Barts the prices in St Barts were the same as in In France and it was about 20% less this was about 4 yrs ago

I mean't to say 20% less than US $

I believe the other attraction is that there are products on St Barts that aren't available in the US.

A while back we were flooded by requests for a Hermes bag that couldn't be bought in North America.

During our last trip, we actually checked on LV's website to compare prices. They were almost to the same to the dollar (basically, rounding errors).
