From what I heard, because there’s no runway show for ACT1 nobody can reserve anything at the buy and they don’t allow hold during the first week of launch so everything is first come first serve. But a lot of stuff are reserved already for ACT2 so there is less available for general public. Also compounded by slow shipment there’s just not much right now…Bloomingdale's in NYC ordered the white crystal/bejeweled version of these.
My boutique had relatively few bags today for the launch. Seemed like much lower stock or a smaller shipment compared to the first day of Act I even though I was there in the morning.
