Here is your updated Louis Vuitton Hawaii Pricing Guide for January 2022! If you haven’t read my first guide yet, you can find it here. In that guide, it’ll show you more pictures and items from my visit last year. This year, I try to concentrate mostly on classic bags and accessories. Also, if you are going to Paris soon, I made a special guide here that you can check out too so you have something to reference prices between Hawaii and France.

*This is what was quoted to me, but after my research, I’ve found out this is not always the case
Is it Cheaper to Buy Louis Vuitton in Hawaii?
Hawaii has special pricing on a lot of luxury brand names including Louis Vuitton so if you plan on visiting the islands soon, make sure you stop by and take a lot. please note that this is NOT an outlet store. This is a true retail store. The discount ranges anywhere from 5%-11% off the Mainland U.S price (before tax) depending on the item you are purchasing.
What is the Sales Tax in Hawaii?
It slightly differs between islands, but the current sales tax in Honolulu is 4.5%. If you come from Los Angeles as I do, you would know that this is already more than half off of our own sales tax.
Louis Vuitton Hawaii Customer Service
I’ve been to the Louis Vuitton Waikiki store almost six or seven times now and every time I go, I get the feeling that the employees don’t really like their job. I don’t know why, but they always seem a bit tired or impatient or just plain unhelpful. Like none of them smile! Has anyone else encountered the same service? It just never feels like a fun shopping experience for me which always makes me a little sad since I really like their stuff. Hopefully, the next time I go again, it’ll be a different experience. Fingers crossed.

Hello! Thanks for this information! I just got back from Oahu and I visited the Louis Vuitton store in the Ala Moana shopping center. The staff there were very nice and welcoming (so opposite of your experience at the Waikiki strip store). I went there to check if they had the Victorine wallet in monogram available bc it’s been out of stock online for a while. They ended up having it in stock, so I bought it immediately not realizing that their retail price is actually less than online and in the mainland. I already knew I’d be getting a discount from sales tax alone, but I was surprised to see the discounted retail price. If I had known, I would’ve shopped more lol. I guess I’ll have to wait until my next Hawaii visit! The Victorine wallet I purchased was $515 ($570 online) and tax was $24.27 + .15 cents bag charge = total $539.42!

Hi Natalie! Thank you for the information about the Victorine wallet! It’s definitely helpful for other readers too. And yes, a LOT of luxury brands have special discounted Hawaii pricing so definitely save up for next time 🥳

If I go to the store in person to see the bag and order/ pay for it in Hawaii, could I ask them to ship it to the mainland so I wouldn’t have to carry it in my luggage? I think I read somewhere that if you spend more than $3k there is free shipping? And then do they just tax the state you are shipping to?

Hi, thank you so much for your posts. I was able to snag a couple of good deals from Gucci, LV, and YSL.
