Why Louis Vuitton Raises their Prices
Whilst price increases are generally not looked forward to by fans with wishlists, it is essential for the brand to do this to maintain its brand perception. Price increases also mean that if you purchase a designer bag from Louis Vuitton, your bag will maintain a lot (or even more) of its value as they become more expensive to buy in the first place. This makes designer handbags, in some cases (especially classic styles) investment pieces. Whilst the outlay of a designer Louis Vuitton bag may be a lot of money, the return on the bag if it’s a popular style and is in good condition, means you may get most, if not all of the money you paid for the bag originally.
To beat the Louis Vuitton price increases, one way is to shop pre-loved Louis Vuitton bags for bargains and access to limited edition styles and out of stock bags.

They are around February and October in the US. However, they may increase prices more regularly than this depending on the current market and climate.
