i could really care less where the bag is made... just as long as the quality is all there

John 5 · Sep 30th, 2008, 07:56 PM

LV's are also made in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland.

I don't have a preference, just as long as it's authentic!

If you're in the USA and buying small leather goods from LV, they will most likely be made in Spain or USA. I've asked my SA about getting an Insolite that's made in France, and they told me it will be hard as most of their small leather goods shipments are made in USA and Spain. But if I go to Hawaii, I can probably find one that's made in France.

thanks for all the insight guys :) I'll make sure I'll baby my wallet. I'm even considering putting in the dust bag (with my money and CCs in there) then putting it inside my drawer! Obsessive much?

Doesn't matter where the LV was made, France, Spain, Italy, USA...etc. The quality is the same. However, ppl I used to work with in Taipei only purchase the ones made in France.

i've never seen Vuitton products made in Germany or Switzerland...

I like that they are made, or at least finished, in countries where they pay a living wage. I like to look at the individual bag and I enjoy that my bags come from around the globe - Spain, France & the USA

John 5 · Sep 30th, 2008, 08:32 PM

The Waterproof Keepall is made in Germany.

The latest LE bag- cube 30 and mini cube are "made in Italy"

I thought that was quite rare.

I agree !!!!!!!!! As long as it is not made in China, i'm fine with it ....

They produce each model in more than one factory (country). You will find it common to find monogram pieces made in USA; however, you can still come across mono pieces in the boutiques made also in France and Spain. It seems that it more frequent that the smaller accessory pieces are coming from Spain, I personally think Spain does the best work on small pieces. I have bags and accessories from all of them, France, USA, and Spain, most of my pieces though are from France, which is unusual now days.

The SA at LV in London said most of the monogram accessories are Made in Spain, he said they grow their own cows there for the vachetta leather, EWWWWWW, too much information there :)

LOVEthatBAG! · Sep 30th, 2008, 10:20 PM

Also, i have heard that the first bags of a line tend to be Made in France and as they grow in popularity they are then Made in USA (specifically thinking of Damier Neverfulls).

Oh I have a question, I know the search is down, so I don't know where else to ask. Does anyone know where to get a Damier Ebene Speedy 35?? I have looked online and not seen them...thanks for your help!
