I am so happy that you made a video to explain the process, as not all the French people speaks English well and some of the procedures are confusing, especially you’re in a hurry to catch your flight!
I was just interested in knowing more about the VAT refund but it doesn’t hurt to enter. Also, been watching a lot of you vids lately, really informative. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for the VAT information. I love watching your videos, they are so calming and take me to a great place!😁. BTW, love your engagement photos…no better place to take them than in Paris!
Hi Alyssa! You’re one of my favorite influencers because your content is always relatable but also very aspirational and aesthetically pleasing. Thank you for all the work that you do on Instagram, TikTok and TH-cam - the content makes the day lighter! Also bonus points for being Filipino and living here in NY/East Coast 🇵🇭🙋🏻♀️
We had a wedding to attend in February 2021 in Japan that’s been pushed back three times already due to Covid, and will likely get pushed back again. On the bright side, we are looking to still travel, and Paris is on that list of destinations. So thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing some of these moments of your life with all of us. And absolutely in love and inspired by your engagement photos with Marco. To be young and in love in New York City 🤍
I will say it is very nice for you to share yours and Marcos life here on the interwebs. You always have some very informative information on hot topics like this vat tax and your future wedding details, and for that I thank you! I do not have ig but we have commented here and there on here.
Alyssa! Where and how do I even start with this "appreciation comment"??!?!?!? First of all, I just want to let you know (again and again lol) how happy I am for you! You have definitely inspired me in many ways especially with fashion and traveling. Every time I see your IG post, I always appreciate how you always capture that perfect moment whether it may be at home or in Paris lol.. Ive been following you since 2018, and its been a beautiful journey from your Morning Stirs to ALNailSeries to The Alley boba run to the Chanel Classic flaps to Paris and to your New Home to getting engage and then Wade and finally, your engagement photos in Paris (OMG I am like tearful right now lmao). I am just so happy for you sis, and I truly wish I had seen you at the Hudson Yards back in August. But anyhow, WE LOVE YOU, WE SUPPORT YOU.
Also question: i see that marco used his dior saddle while still in Paris! I’ve heard stories awhile back that they won’t honor the refund unless the good has been unopened. Have been more lenient/lax with that rule or have you not experienced that before?
Can you make cash payments in a countries local currency and still be eligible for the VAT refund through global blue? or does it only work with credit card payments? asking cuz im going to Italy next month :)
I don't have IG account but I am subscribed to your TH-cam channel. I love watching all your vlogs and love all your handbags and overall everything you put out I love . I can't wait to see what's next .
ah too bad i missed this, i was too busy all week and only opened up yt today 😭 but just wanted to say that only you would think of your followers/friends on your Paris trip to buy us something luxury for a giveaway. I can’t think of anyone else i follow doing that. That’s so thoughtful 🥺
OMG, in Norway you have to pay 25% in vat, and for some items an additional 10,7% in duties on the total value of your item everytime you take something back.(Because we are not a member of the EU) The rest of Europe just offer 10%-15% vat back so a huge loss for us :(
As always love your videos, I've heard of the VAT process but never did it because I didn't understand the process. Thank you for breaking this down!! _ifey
Bulgari 👀 So happy to sit down with a glass of wine and catch up on your videos. Just in time for this giveaway. You know I love you. Good luck to us all. ✨
I love that you made a video about the VAT refund. I remember trying to find info about this when I had traveled to Italy, and was unable to find detailed instructions. So I’m glad I’ll always have this video for future reference. @L.Palaganas
I’ve always wondered how the VAT refund works… thanks for sharing! Excited to see more content on you and marcos journey to the alter! Take care! ~ nykolenazreen
I could only imagine the godly prices if the US actually imposed the 25% tariff on French luxury items this past year 🙃 Super informative, and always love your content! ♥️
I was in Copenhagen with my boyfriend last August. We lost our passport but the people there were so nice and luckily we were able to retrieve our belongings with our passport back. Love your content and I feel like we have sooooo much similarities with fashion and personality wise LOL! I love your travel vlogs! @anddreiii

Hi @alyssa, great video. I have a quick question - so UK doesn't get a VAT refund but Paris still does? Thank you.
This is great information. And wow the price differences are amazing. I can't wait to go to Paris. 💞💞
