Price Increases: YSL, VCA, Cartier May 1
These price increase posts are starting to feel like a joke. Too bad, nobody’s wallets are laughing. Ahead of Mother’s Day, lots of brands are adjusting prices higher and YSL and Cartier are both designers you should be watching this weekend if you have an imminent purchase need. Van Cleef & Arpel’s prices will be about 8-10% higher across the board but Cartier’s, the price increase is much more tolerable at 3% to 5%. The Saint Laurent increase ranges from 8% to 20% on many popular items. Many retailers have already made the changes but below are some places you can snag bags for legacy prices.

The Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Sponsored Post
Flowers and chocolates are the most classic way to celebrate Mother’s Day. This year, the mommy celebrations will take place on Sunday, May 8 and we couldn’t be more excited to be the beneficiary of pampering and praise. The first thing you have to know about Mother’s Day is that moms don’t want you breaking the bank to say, “I love you.” They also don’t want a thoughtless card with a scribbled signature. Finding the perfect gift can take a bit of determination and thoughtfulness. In order to get a jump start on the task (and give hints to loved ones), we partnered with Net-A-Porter to create the ultimate Mother’s Day gift guide, which is sure to inspire even the most gift impaired.
