Are Western goods significantly more expensive in Beijing and Shanghai compared to HK

[hermes]

i find prices in asia for luxury goods to be more expensive than north america and europe

even hong kong prices for luxury goods is more than what you pay at neiman marcus

three weeks ago i priced things out in the duty free shops in hong kong airport with my wife for certain items and the price was still less in north america or europe - there were a few exceptions but any of the leather goods were less in north america or europe than hong kong or tokyo

if you're going to shop, know your prices

generally they're supposed to be priced the same around the world but there is up to a 30% difference that i've found with all my shopping travels
