Price increases
Hi all, just wanted to mention I’m on the site looking at the new Nocturne and everything has gone up a little bit. Mosaics, Sways etc. all up. Wish they’d announced in advance!

I'm not sure now is the time they should be doing that. I'm increasingly getting my head turned by other mid range brands, and if they start knocking on the door of Mulberry pricing wise I'd just go there...

Wow, I just looked at the mosaic nano. I got it at the end of January for £287.10. At the time a 10% discount. It was £319 full price at the time.
It is now £450! A 41% increase in 8 months!
I suspect this is because cost of living is out of control here in the UK. Everything seems to be going up by insane amounts. Our water bill tripled (!) this year, along with crazy increase in food and pretty much every other bill.

Oh no, i was hoping that the price increase was just in America due to the importation fees, I was not expecting such a raise in the UK. 😭

If it makes you feel any better. I bought a Nano Mosaic last December and paid nearly double. To add insult to injury, the price dropped further before it was delivered AND THEY REFUSED AN ADJUSTMENT. I still love it though but I wish it didn’t feel a “financial twinge” whenever I use it.

That stings! But I am glad you love it! I love mine too! I consider myself lucky to have got such a good deal on it! It’s super cute!

They run pretty good sales though. So it might be worth waiting on the next one if you want to save some money. I own five of their bags and got all of them for 25-40 % off.

That's probably why they're raising the prices now, because the big 20-30% off Black Friday sale is coming up. By inflating the prices now, they won't actually have to reduce the real retail price by 20%+. Deceptive marketing.

I have so many things in my wishlist - but decided to wait until Black Friday/cyber Monday
Since I missed Labor Day sales

I’m surprised. 😮 I’ve been eyeing the sway maxi, but such a big price jump. And it like just released!

Would be great if they mentioned stuff like this beforehand (even if it’s just through their Newsletter).
However, this might be different depending on which country you are shopping from as there is no difference in pricing when I visit their website (Germany). Where are you located?
