I thought I was done with Murakami but now I am looking for a CB pochette 😭
Haha I think this will be an on going thing until the end of this year. Keep hope alive!
Chain is here! Surprised but I find it a bit boring? Maybe because it kinda blends in with the pattern a lot. This is an unsure if keeping piece
Honestly, I’ve had the same feelings. When I changed it to going across the bag and on one of the strap rings, I felt a little bit better about it, lol.
Might look nicer on not a CB item?
I agree with @SKDubs ’s idea. It seems much prettier when it is across the speedy. But the chain is definitely pretty.
If anyone knows CA who has it, let me know. This was the last piece I wanted but couldn’t find ☺️
Yeah, I kind of understand. The cherry blossoms are already overwhelming, so why add the chain? But if you keep the chain and use the charm from this speedy on a different bag (say all black, all grey, plain monogram), you re-create the cherry blossom somewhere else. So, I would keep it if I were you.
Y'all...I've been meaning to share this but this past weekend was cray and I am only letting reality set in that I have this piece...
One random day at work one of my CAs sent me a text regarding the CB Papillon asking if I was interested in purchasing. Mind you I had no hope of getting any Murakami bag and didn't even dare dream of having one as I was late to all of the TM launches and the pricing was just WOWZA. I didn't see the text until the next day and I was kicking myself, praying that she still had it...and she did!!! It was in store ready to ship and I could have just cried (I didn't just yet.) I was in high school/college when the first TM collab came out and teenage me LOVED the print but again didn't dare dream of ever having one in my lifetime. What's even crazier is that I have always been interested in the Papillon style as it's such an unusual shape and the few women I've seen rocking them just look so classy and bad ass. Lo and behold the Babe (and her mini me) has arrived and she is all mine 😭😍 (did I mention this is my first LV bag?!)
A part of me feels guilty spending so much on one item (I grew up lower class but am financially stable now) BUT the thought of returning her gives me a negative physical reaction. She is GORGEOUS + she gives me so just joy + just the way it came about reinforces (to me) that she is meant to stay...has anyone ever felt that way or been in that dilemma? Any advice? My therapist is out this week so I'm asking y'all 😆

I think it’s because there’s too much CB going on, it looks busy. I put the chain on a grey goyard bag and it definitely popped! I get compliments on it ALL the time! So maybe put it on a bag with a plain background? Maybe a dark one?
I am so happy that you got your dream bag!!!! Thank you for sharing your story.... It bought tears to my eyes a little, because I can relate (not to get too personal haha)... Always wanted something from this collection when I was my younger self too.
Worked super hard to get all the things I have today! Enjoy her!
Amazing story...KEEP IT!!! The joy it has already brought you makes it worth it. The guilt will go away as you wear and enjoy it....and you got two pieces for the price of one.
