I was asking because I read on their site that the buyer can be responsible for customs duties etc., but otherwise I appreciate your recommendation of the site yesterday and glad that you're getting great pieces there.
Jury is still out on if I’m getting them lol I have to wait and see if they all get through the verification process and get shipped to me so I’m kind of just in limbo with it for two weeks
 
Probably one of many things I missed about living in Europe. Lived there for 6 yrs pre-covid and literally never had a problem acquiring any LV or Chanel items. Just walked in and everything was either available or orderable, stress-free. One of the pains of being back in the US, there's just way too much competition. The interest and consumption of luxury brands is exponentially higher in comparison. It's like fighting tooth and nail to get anything.
I can imagine. Right now it seems that the items are easier to get here in Europe. While an order still isn't a guarantee as long as it's still waiting for validation, but at least it's an order. It's sad when I read the stories about people being ghosted by CA's or getting denied to place an order. Must say, when I contacted an online CA last week, (my CA at the boutique was a while off) to see if I could get a specific item, I was also denied. CA offered to put me on a waiting list, that's all she could do. It's only today that the CA at the boutique said I could do an order for the items I wanted. But the CA couldn't tell anything about an estimate delivery date so I'll see what happens. I don't mind to wait.
Did you get/order anything from this collection?

My silk square came with the tissue paper, stickers, ribbon, and the ribbon charm I was hoping for, onion head man!!! I am going to use him as a bag charm, he's one of my favorite LV x Murakami characters, I wish he would've been on more pieces! I'm curious if he's thin enough to be laminated...otherwise I'll probably put a layer of mod podge on him to sort of seal him a bit. This was an order placed on the website on 1/3 that arrived to me today. No Murakami shopping bag though.

My multicolor trainers came from the Rodeo Drive store with the holiday box/ribbon, nothing Murakami included.
Styling my new trainers in true Y2K fashion with one of my Ed Hardy tees!
You look amazing!!! Love the way you styled those trainers with the vintage Murakami! The best of the original and the new paired together. So cool with the Ed Hardy!!

Here's some more (non enlarged) photos.

One handle is fine, the other seems really wrinkled.

Also. The bottom is marked and there was no plastic on the feet. I wonder if I got a return?
First of all, congrats on scoring this beauty! Taken that this collection has just launched, it can’t be a return. Wrinkling on the handles is normal, it looks the same on my Speedy de. So is the bottom - as vaccheta is a natural untreated skin some imperfections are normal (was the same on my Alma bb in mono). TBH I’ve never seen plastic stickers on the feet of any Almas. Hope that helps.
To me personally, the bag looks good and very beautiful. I would keep her. However if you aren’t happy with the purchase, it’s worth considering to return her.
 
So, @seulement_classique @LVLVLVOE, finally here is the requested review for what fits in the Charlotte pencil pouch. I put in a Labubu for some crazy animation fun and because I think it is cute. 😅

And peeps - I am surprised how much that case fits! Haven‘t tried it yesterday. Good that you suggested it! So much cooler, when it actually fit things! I actually thought I would just put 1-2 pens into it and have it as eye candy in my bag… This is much more useful.

So, size comparison to a 9x14 cm small Moleskin notebook and I think that planner must be A5…

The next pics show the case open and closed with all the pencils in the last photo!

Now some more combos:
1. pens, pen of glue (not sure how you call that in english - that red piece), lip balm - closed: you see a bit of bulging at the side
2. content outside from pic 1

It also fits my Airpod 2 case with outer case! I threw in some other nic nac as such as a spoolie, aspirin… What woman might need. 😅

Without the outer case the Airpod case fit better though! Actually you can also fit cards in it (I would not have thought, that would fit. Side by side you can fit 2 cards.

I am still seeking Epi Alma Murakami in black. I went to the store today but they were not helpful at all - "my" CA did not even know that the bag came in black. I have no other connections as I do most of my shopping online. Do you, guys, think there is still a chance of me getting this bag or should I just consider buying second hand and overpriced?
Imho, what I personally would do, is to wait and see if it becomes available again later. Or maybe try another CA to see if you can do an order. I did an order for that Alma today (I'm in Europe). If nothing works out, you can always consider second hand later. But for now, I would wait (even though I had to wait a few more weeks). I also don't like to support high reseller prices. I've seen this Alma for sale for double or even three times the original price. No way I would personally do that. Imagine paying a high premium only to find out the bag you want might becomes available later on the website/at the boutique/to order.

It was regarding the walk-in DEPWOs made on Friday, day of the launch. She said orders were opening again this Friday, so if it isn't fulfilled by this Friday, then they were told to refund all of the DEPWOs.
I was told the Jan 10th restock has been canceled. They had moved it from the 10th to the 7th, and then it was canceled until further notice.

Just passing on what I was told, don’t shoot the messenger, lol. Very much on team hoping there is a restock!

I'm not a PA girl but damn girl she is a beauty :loveeyes: +1 to LV for also including shopping bag, panda tag and stickers. Congrats :drinks:
OMG you are definetely the MC queen :loveeyes: love all your pieces and once again congrats for scoring during the craziest launch I've experienced :giggle: (but the most fun days in a long time that LV brought me) :lol:
Thank you so much, my lovely, for your sweet comments! :hbeat: I appreciate them a lot :hugs::heart:
This launch reminded me of the old good stalking days years ago, when we all were hunting the classic PAs, MPs, KPs and so on! Stressful, but also fun with such a great community.
I am very happy that you were able to place an order for the white MC cardholder and looking very forward to seeing your unboxing! :woot: :loveeyes:
 
It’s here! No shopping bag. Ribbon with lsd panda and envelope with stickers. This is a very substantial bag. Colors are gorgeous. Yes I’m a little afraid it’s white but I don’t care I will just wear it.
So pretty, I love how puffy this looks 🥰 ! Also great in Summer or with winter whites 😁. Congratulations and enjoy your beautiful Murakami :heart:!
