Default Houston ever again?

Does anyone know if the vernis houston is ever coming back? I want this bag, how much did it retail for when it was available? I searched but could not find anything.

TIA.

edit: I did find it on eLux, did the Brentwood replace the Houston?

I doubt that it will ever come back, I heard they are discontinuing many current styles and they are going to replace them...But I am not 100% sure about that. Also I don't think the brentwood replaced the houston as the brentwood has been available for a while now.

Yeah...once they discontinue something it rarely comes back...my SA did mention that this year they were discontinuing a few MC and Vernis bags for good and replacing them with new styles.

Wow.... I remember purchasing my first Vernis Houston in the silver/gray color back in 2002 for around $1K or so.

Houston is discontinued! Other Vernis bags have come and gone, but the Houston was around for a while. Ask your SA or call vuitton.com to find who has the color you want. You can get a good deal on eBay, after it's authenticated of course!
