Does anybody know what happens to the bags that were used during the fashion shows and are they somehow marked?

I'm kinda in the middle of something regarding a bag that supposedly comes from a fashion show.

Everything is dead on (hardware, craftsmanship), except the heat stamp is kinda "sloppy" and where the date code should be there's a "P" in a circle?

If anybody has any info concerning that, any help would be highly appreciated! :flowers:

hi

yes the P in a circle denotes prototype, which could well mean the piece is from a fashion show. I have had a few of these in the past

wow, that's exciting news :nuts: if you had some of them, was ever any problem with the heat stamp? the one on my bag is kinda "blotchy" (it's printed on croc leather) ... do you think they save the total quality control for mass production? :shrugs:

I remember Karen Kooper had a groom rond with a P on the inside, apparently when I went to view the s/s bags a few weeks before the party I just went to, they were all prototype bags, like actual bags from the runway and the ACTAUL bags will/may look different compared to the Prototype... thats what an SA said to me but... idk

sorry to differ but i believe the "P" stamp denotes the bag as a Press gift. these are not the very same ones that appear in the runway, but are produced in time for the runway shows to give to magazine editors so they have something to talk and think about before the actual season these bags are officially released commence. sort of like a taste of what's to come.

yes you are correct that the ones with P circle are also given as press gifts but i have had both press gift and prototype both have P in a circle

I purchased a pair of LV shoes from Karen and they had a "P" stamp as well. I also thought it stands for "press" ("prototype" wouldn't make any sense in my case - they were mass produced shoes!).
