The missus wants one and I'd like to get one for her birthday next year.
Does anyone know where I can look to get a good price on these bags? I was thinking duty free might be better than DJs or Myer.

Haha love it. I'm in Manila at the moment so will price check here.
They're sold at COSTCO too, I think.
Yeah I can confirm that I've seen them at Costco as well. David Jones have them too but personally I think they're totally overpriced and beware that the corners get scuffed very easily.
Agreed but sometimes it's worth the smile when the present is opened.
You won't find them at Myer; DJs is the only department store that sells them and being a Canberran, I don't think they sell them at Civic so you'll have to go to Sydney or Melbourne to buy one.
Cheers. I'm in Sydney often enough so will wait for a DJ sale.
The only ones that go on sale are the seasonal colours. Your navys and blacks won't go on sale unless you happen to have a DJs card and purchase during Four Days of Fashion or something similar.
I presume you're referring to the foldable Le Pliage ones?
Yeah that seems to be the g.! Learning a lot right now.
pending fx rates… it is usually cheaper overseas
just get her the smaller one for now, as it won't be too exxyThey have sizes?! What is the most common size to get?
The large tote with the long handles
I just asked her and she sais the one with long handles!
I'll get the navy one as that seems to be the most common.
Cheers mate
@cymon: Yeah you can't go wrong with navy or black. Navy is very common; I was using mine the other day and the lady who sat next to me on the train had the exact same bag as mine 😂
You can also get Gunmetal for something a bit different to navy or black. This one here (https://www.huntleather.com.au/le-pliage-tote-bag-l1899089.h…) is big enough for A4 files
the most common would be the medium le pliage model. now the fun bit would be what colour
just don't get the limited editions / leather models and you'll save yourself a bit of $$ =D
you won't hit the TRS value for the 1 item itself, so as long as she's happy… =)I think you're on the money, Navy is the go. Def won't hit TRS but plenty of other times to do that!
I have the impression the popular style never goes on sale?
I did get lucky a couple of years back at DJ when they have an older stock on sale with further discount. It looks exactly the same as the current model but had a different barcode.
Catch has them for $169 if you have OnePass (free delivery or express is $3 extra) or $199 if you don’t . OnePass is $4 a month or Free Trial also available for new members. Looks authenticated.

Wife noticed them on sale in Sydney Airport airside heinmann dutyfree in July,
I told her we would find them cheaper in Asia and Europe, we didn’t, came back and realised they don’t sell them on arrival.
I’m still hearing about it.
