Customers wait in line outside a Cartier store in Seoul on Sunday ahead of an upcoming price increase. The luxury jeweler is set to raise prices in South Korea on Tuesday across key product categories, with hikes expected to range from 6 to 9 percent. The move follows four price increases last year. Since the start of the year, major luxury houses including Rolex, Hermes, Dior and Chanel have joined a broader wave of price hikes. (Newsis)
