Changes coming at Hancock & Moore

[drcollie]

Here's a list (attached as a photo) of all the frame drops in the Hancock and Moore line. There are quite a few. There have all been deleted. If by chance you see something on this list you really would like to have, there may be enough frames or parts to fill your order, but don't wait.

The following leathers are going up in price grade effective July 19th:

Antelope, Heirloom and Luggage from a class 3 to class 4

Mesquite, Tiburon, Tuscany and Weston from class 2 to class 3

These are all European leathers and affected by currency valuations and transportation costs for the increases. Twenty-three H&M fabrics are going up in grade as well.

Don't forget - this is the final week to get any H&M (and Jessica Charles) under the current price structure. There is a general price increase and change in the Town and Country program that goes into effect a on Monday, July 19th.

... And I thought the dollar was strengthening against the euro...

Apparently not quickly enough!

Both the Tiburon and Weston were once gr. 2? What a deal that was then! I love both those leathers.

The prices going up with merchandise from Europe is not just happening with leathers. We were going to order a Godin French gas stove for one of our rooms. Godin is no longer shipping to anywhere in North America "until the economy improves" apparently. It was no longer cost effective for them so they will only resume shipping anywhere in Canada or the U.S. when it becomes financially expedient for them. I almost always try to buy American or Canadian but, we have nothing that compares those small footprint gorgeous stoves.

Yes they were. Remember these are price grades, not quality grades. Those are both European hides, which are much more price sensitive than ones from China, Mexico, etc.
