I agree. I haven’t bought much this season either, not so much due to price but more to do with the lack of desirability of design and unimaginative styling, especially for e-commerce (but look books are weaker too than they used to be). I still think they should have catwalk shows, or at least look back to them for some styling tips

Personally I’ve been more and more excited about everything every new season. I’ve really grown to love the Mizuno collaboration as well. The prices are a bit too much, but I buy less as I’ve accumulated for many years and my older MH items have lasted extremely well.

The price increase killed it for me. Its a shame because there are a few nice pieces this season but I can’t justify it.

It's interesting that the prices in Japan haven't increased at the same rate as the UK prices (for many items at least)

I'm fortunate in that their JP large usually fits me well, and I can definitely see myself buying more from JP via proxy if the pricing trends continue.

same, i've got 2 items i want to get when sale starts as i'm not paying full EU pricing for these pieces

also if youre in japan, the MH retail experience is pinnacle and available everywhere across the country which is insane

Bittersweet that the EU sale prices will come in about standard UK prices, at least for most of AW24. Maybe next season will see more harmonized prices (i.e. more expensive)

My guess is that the JP business is quite healthy, and that the UK/ROW is less so lately. At least when reading between the lines in the interview with the new MD that @oilbased shared earlier.
