They increased about 5% in Naples, and then rebalanced London prices to the Euro, so they went up a lot, because the GBP is sucks.

In London, that is crazy....From 3000 to 4000 pounds in a few months....
They did more than rebalance...
The girl from the shop was shocked when she told me...
After two suits with Rubinacci , I'm gone to Norton and sons....3000 pounds the 2 piece suit...

It used to be 4200EUR, which, when they set that price in '06, was 2800 GBP. When they increased in late '08, they went to 4400EUR, which was 4000GBP, so the British price really is just a rebalancing of the currency. Still, it is expensive.

I said ouch when Laura told me the prices...4000 pounds ....As expensive as Huntsman...Originally Posted by lasbar
That is de facto a 25% increase...
I'm sure a lot of customers have left, especially the ones paying full price...
From a US dollar perspective, that makes the Naples and London prices about the same. Anyway, why would you expect Rubinacci to cost less than Huntsman?

Rubinacci is the Bijan of London. They should cost the most.
