I was at Saks getting on the waiting list for a watercolor papillon because Saks isnt as overpopulated as the LV store at the Forums shops at Caesars. By the way, I am no # 2 on the wait list

anyways, I asked the SA there why they only released 35 on the Watercolor speedy.. She said she did not know why but only Asia like Singapore etc and Hawaii would get it... No answer back! So, after long thought on the way home LOL... I figured me being FilipinoAsian there's a thing about designers to us, it means ALOT size and everything! LOL.. I figured Asians are small, short people... well most of us... I am 5'2 115lbs.. (gained weight LOL) and they said that the most demand for designer good such as LV is coming from Asians around the world, and I think they released it to Hawaii because Hawaii is 95% Asians/Filipinos...?? could that be the reason? andI say that because my SA from the forums shops have told me before LV even hires alot of Asians because alot of their business comes from Asians? and they need lots of translators!! I think thats so stupid!! LOL So we dont get size 30 because of that reasons?? the SA did tell me that USA demand was for larger bags

So, she told me I cant call the Hawaii boutique for you for the 30's but you can try and call them and see if they sell it to you.. I havent tried calling but If I did it would be a waste of time I think... I am afraid they wont sell it to me because I am outside Hawaii and in Las Vegas.... Am I trippin'??? I seriously think thats the reason and it's totally not fair at all................

I really would love it In Brown Water color Speedy in 30 not 35!! What's your guys input to this....................

You summed it up pretty well yourself. It's not "fair". It's capitalism or supply and demand.

My SA said it has nothing to do with the size of the person at all. It is just that Americans like BIG things!

Jerzygirl · Jul 11th, 2008, 07:43 PM

That makes sense when you think about it Weightyle. Good observation

angelthelson · Jul 11th, 2008, 08:04 PM

hahaha! weightyle, i'm filipino but i'm 5'9" lol! anyhoo, i guess it's because asians esp in japan, they really are big consumers when it comes to designer goods, esp LV.... maybe that's why it's more available in asia

ITA! I think thats why Japan/Asia has a lot of smaller bag exclusives and exclusives in general. Designer goods are important.

I agree, I think if they are going to release something, it should be fair game for everyone.

chinchin_lim · Jul 11th, 2008, 09:07 PM

Singapore has 35 too, only Japan has 30.

mariah9999 · Jul 11th, 2008, 09:16 PM

Hmmm, interesting theory...

VuittonsLover · Jul 11th, 2008, 09:19 PM

ita!!!

ashley77 · Jul 11th, 2008, 09:35 PM

haha! it is possible!!! fat people in USA... skinny people in ASIA... it makes sense if its true... that they dont sell 30 here...

angelalam5 · Jul 11th, 2008, 09:38 PM

well that's one way to look at it....I'm not quite sure if I agree or disagree, but it's an interesting thought, for sure.

JAN! · Jul 11th, 2008, 10:07 PM

I think that makes sense.

precious-gucci · Jul 11th, 2008, 10:26 PM

ITA. That is the reason why Hawaii always get the 30. But to be fair, LV should make it available to everyone. LV is loosing a lot of customers on the main land because they want the 30, not 35. I dont understand why LV could not understand that simple concept.
