The prices in Europe are significantly cheaper, and you get a VAT refund on top.

For example:




Alma MM M40857 $2,500.00 in the US, and €1.820,00 in Italy

http://it.louisvuitton.com/ita-it/pr...-mm-epi-008120

1820 Euro equals 1989.81 US Dollar, minus 12%VAT (218.40)=1,602 Euro, or 1751.31 US Dollar

So after state taxes in the US, this particular purse is almost $1,000 cheaper to buy in Europe.
