From my experience (in store) they generally don't give you the box unless you ask, or have been shopping with an SA for a while that knows you like to have them etc.

I've never asked for the box but I've received it 4 times out 5 anyway with big pleasure. It's free.

darkknight11 · May 6th, 2009, 12:56 PM

ive never been offered any,i even asked once and they said they dun have it!

cruznit1436 · May 6th, 2009, 01:15 PM

I've always been given a box until last year, and when i called back they told me i need to ask for one...but now my SA knows everytime go give me a box..

I never cared much about boxes until recently when my closet 'overflowed'. I then went to an LV boutique and asked for boxes. Not only they gave me, they gave me the correct box for each bag! Now I store most of my LVs in boxes stacked outside the closet and the rest of my bags in the closet. I guess you just have to ask and it works better if you know a SA or a regular at that particular boutique. Good luck!

LV is trying to go "green" ... so just ask for it when you purchase.

diordramaqueen · May 6th, 2009, 01:20 PM

I guess it just all depends on the store location. The boxes are free however. Next time just ask for it. It won't be a problem, and if it is then I suggest you find another store. I remember my first purchase I didn't realize I had to ask, when the sa came back without the items in a box I just nicely asked him to do so and it wasn't a problem.

misspepper · May 6th, 2009, 01:43 PM

I have always been given a box, I never left without one and I did not ask for it.

eurogirrl · May 6th, 2009, 01:45 PM

yes, boxes are free.. and in my experience at all LV boutiques i've been to in different continents, small accessories / pochettes always came with appropriate boxes.. however, for bigger purses, i do almost always have to ask for a box (if i remembered to!), but regardless of whether LV purchases come with a box or not, i always come home happy..

shopsinparis · May 6th, 2009, 02:10 PM

I have always received a box with my purchase. When traveling, however, it is easier not to get the box with your purchase.

Flipper · May 6th, 2009, 09:42 PM

Just ask when you purchase, most of the time if they have them they will gladly give them to you. I usually love boxes, but the more bags I buy, the less space I have and it's actually working out better to not have boxes (more space for bags

)

Well, you have to ask for it.They usually only give dust bag.
Whenever I buy a bag from them I will ask for one.
Next time remember to ask for one.

Just ask for one. It's free. Usually if u mention it as a gift/present, they'll packed ur item with a box.
But i do agree with Flipper. More boxes means less storage space

Azusa · May 8th, 2009, 04:50 AM

they are free and you can ask for it, but at busier stores they can sometimes run out, i dont ask for mine anymore because i only buy from only one SA, she knows i store my bags in boxes. shes always so friendly and god i love her!
