Luxury hedge is a unique real time index that gives you the relative cost of a brand around the world.
It uses product prices, real time exchange rates and a country’s VAT, GST or sales tax to give you an overview of the relative price of buying the brand in that country, taking into account the country you live in and the currency you earn. You first select your brand, then your country and currency of where you live. The data will then populate in real time, showing you an approximate guide of how much more expensive or cheaper the brand is to buy around the world.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Luxury Hedge is a just a guide and gives you a handy overview of price differentials around the world. Always back it up with your own price research for a particular product.
PRODUCT PRICES
We’ve done the research and hard work for you. We look at core product lines and analyse the relative prices of luxury goods between countries. For some brands, we give an example of a few product groups to give you a comprehensive review of the prices. Use our index to get a quick and easy worldwide overall of the cheapest place to shop. We recommend then checking a specific product price via the website.

EXCHANGE RATES
We use live exchange rates that update throughout the day. Our index is real time. With so much exchange rate volatility, the prices of luxury goods can be dramatically cheaper, or more expensive, overseas. Luxury Hedge uses exchange rates, as well as product prices and taxes, to give you a real time guide.
