Yes the persons post on here of the toiletry pouch made it very tempting but they didn’t have it in stock at the boutique I visited. It’ll be interesting to see if they do restock online and when. It just seems so odd to me that the boutique I went to had many bags and SLG’s to purchase even after their client pre orders had been sent out, yet some boutiques have nothing even on display. The bracelet I purchased wasn’t on display so just goes to show always worth a visit and to ask

I saw the posts of resellers here a couple pages back. And thought… oh well. There are always some stupid idiots… so what
But I‘ve just come across so so many VERY outrageously priced TM pieces here in Europe on resell platforms and I am shocked.
The prices they are asking (and I doubt anyone who has it together would ever pay) are beyond wild.
Like 1650€ for the key pouch that costs 360€.
Excuse me?
I want to laugh but I am just speechless.
i am neither interested in buying preloved (even for reasonable prices) nor in selling. I just needed to share.
And I can’t imagine Louis had THIS in mind when this poorly organized launch happened. I mean people reselling 4times higher than prices in store. And not just a handful peolpe…
Insane.

I totally agree it’s absolutely shocking!
It’s not even like they are putting a small markup on them it’s like sometimes treble the retail which is totally disgusting.
I was saying to my hubby that hopefully LV will sort the stock issue out and leave these resellers with goods that they can’t shift and it will serve their greedy selves right !!
I was in Selfridges earlier and checked my LV account which still showed my order as in transit, 20 mins after I get home it’s now showing ready to collect but I can’t go back now till Tuesday 😩.
The newer canvas is thinner than the original MC - compared new to my vintage Annie in store, so if you want a lightweight piece that may sag/slouch without a bag liner the new Speedy 25 or Carryall are great.Thanks for the info! I'm just happy there is another queue for appointments.
Will keep in mind to not have high expectations
Anyway I'm starting to lvoe the Alma too after seeing all the photos online lol...congrats on your order!
If you want a more structured piece, definitely try for the Alma. Im really thrilled with mine and was surprised how thin the Carryall felt
Does anyone know when the website is stocking items? Im making myself crazy stalking it
I agree with you and @seulement_classique . To me, it's disgusting, greedy and tacky behavior.
And honestly, I would rather have nothing then to fulfill their greed. No way I would support them.
I saw one woman on Vinted who bought a few bags just to flip them for a profit. Not a small profit but 2/3 times the cost of the actual bag. Mind you, you can list for free on Vinted, so her asking price is just pure greed. Her description said: "I won't reply to lower offers, fixed price". Good for you, I hope nobody will buy it, that there will be plenty of restock for all of us and that you will get stuck with your bags

Not today I think. I assume somewhere next week. I stopped stalking (well, I do look 3 times a day, not sure if that still is considered stalking
), but here in Europe I haven't seen an online restock yet.Wow, it is terrific you were able to get through online. I tried for hours and then went in store for an appt w/CA. She had a few pieces for me and placed an order but it still says pending. She put it in around noon. Not sure if it will be filled due to the crazy demand.
Preying on people who are desperate to get a purse is so low.I agree with you and @seulement_classique . To me, it's disgusting, greedy and tacky behavior.

I feel you! I'm all over the place too. I already did a DEPWO for the Superflat 20 Speedy. Then I decided I would like to have the black MC key pouch as well. That was the original plan. Then I decided I would like something with the Moca hands too. I can't make up my mind if I should try to get the black Alma BB with the Moca hands or just the Moca hands keychain/bag charm. I don't have an Alma yet. In Feb/March I will be on Ban Island for sure. Will escape in April/May for the Cerises
.Get it all! 😊🎉🤣I think the limit here in Europe is just one product of each if I'm not mistaken?
Luckily I was able to try on some bags (but not the Murakami versions of course) when I placed my DEPWO in December. That's how I found out that a Nano Speedy would be too small for me. So that was helpful.
Right now I am completely torn. I just don't know what to get next and I have to decide fast, because my order will arrive soon and then I can ask my SA for another order/DEPWO. I like the Moca hands. Thinking if I should try to get the keychain only, or the Alma BB in black 🤔. And then for the black MC...I definitely will try to get the key pouch, but after seeing @DrTootr 's fabulous picture of her with the Toiletry Pouch turned into a bag, I'm hesitating if I should try to get that one as well.
I like the white MC too, but I live in a rainy climate, so black MC is a better option for me.
Decisions decisions 😅!
The toiletry pouch is 100% on my list now because of that post. Really thought I was close to being done but this collection has done a number on me. 🫣
Can you please tell me if the bracelet runs small? The website doesn’t give much info, I was interested in the ring and the bracelet but wondered if every time I wash my hands do I have to remove both? Enjoy your beautiful bracelet, wear it with good health and much happiness.So my small piece from the collection was the noir confidential bracelet. Problem is, the packaging is too cute to open it up to wear it!
Both the Alma, PA (watch out for the measurements as it didn’t fit my clemance wallet and should off!) and noir 30 speedy were in store still! After mulling it over I decide against a bag. I ended up loving the speedy but the size was just too big for me. If it had been a 20 and 25 it would have been coming home with me. View attachment 6112099Hope whoever is still on the look out get what they want from the collection. For now I’m happy with my bracelet
Hahahaha they put a spell on us...could be a movie or something with all the stories in this thread and the beautiful pop up boutiques in the background 🤣 🤣.
My plan was one bag and one SLG. It would be great if this collection would be around for the next 4/5 months so that we could plan our purchases more carefully. But I don't think it will be available anymore by then 😅. Oh well, I'm afraid Ban Island it is after this.
At least it will be a very colorful stay with all our Murakami purchases
.
Thank you
My wrists are quite small, I went with the 17 which fitted perfectly. The 19 was quite loose but not loose enough to fall over my hand.
