I think... that the ALLOCATION is done (which stores will get how many pieces of what). However, not all stores have received all of their allocated pieces yet (in transit, stuck in customs etc..).
So.. from the store's point of view, there are second 'shipment's coming.
From Vuitton's point of view, all shipments have been sent.
That's what I think..
My guess is that the bag just took to long to make. The price is relatively cheap for something with such a WOW factor. Having mine and looking at it, its really well made. Its alot of details. The rivits are nice, the hardware is different. I took mine out all night and not a scratch on it. That was one of the issues I was worried about. The girl at 866 also said that it was not meant to be an everyday bag...more of a once in a while. KWIM?
