I didn't even get that. Was so disappointed. No packaging. For the crazy prices of this collection, it should NOT have even launched without the special packaging.

Only thing I received today was the tm ribbon with lsd panda attached, and tm envelope with stickers. Regular LV box and no shopping bag. I think there are shortages of packaging.
Yeah not having packing for everyone is a huge fail.
I really enjoyed my trip to London (which was not planned around this Murakami drop, but quickly turned into obsessing around the drop, thanks to this fabulous thread).
I will eventually post some photos of what I snagged at the New Bond Street store while I was there, but I'm pretty jet-lagged at the moment and also now quite sick from my travel. So it might be a few days.
For now, though, I want to share a few things before I unpack and also try to survive whatever virus I got:
-I hope the pop-up works out really well for everyone who plans to go there. As a reminder . . . the New Bond Street location had more pieces than I thought they would -- so I would not count out that location, if the pop-up ends up not coming through. When I was there, they had bags, SLGs, that box, the puzzle, and scarves. (I didn't have the time to go to the other locations, and I hear everyone about Harrods and Selfridges via the comments notes posted earlier. Wish I had had the time to check those out, but I didn't -- so New Bond Street is all I can talk about.)
-Heathrow Terminal 3's LV shop had nothing except for shoes, in case anyone is flying out and was mildly curious about that shop.
-The main reason I am powering through to sit up long enough to type this out, though, is to share, if you didn't already know it, that Murami has an exhibition at a gallery that is about 6 minutes walking from the New Bond Street location and therefore pretty close to the pop-up too. It was so fun to see the gallery then go over to the store and blow far more money than I should have on SLGs lol.

Happy hunting, buying, and carrying, everyone!

Please take very good care of yourself. Viral and post viral illness can be serious and long lasting, especially for women. Rest, rest, rest as much as you can and do not push through. Hope you will feel better soon.
Ive been thinking about this too! I love that the size is slightly bigger. I have the nano speedy and wasn't sure if it would be too redundant. Looks like a great travel size bag too. Carrying just enough with ease.
Sooooo happy for you babe!!!!! CONGRATS.... Perfection!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! I'm crossing my fingers!! I SO want a piece from this collection!!!
I know there’s a lot of these but just sharing my passport cover that came in (after a short delivery delay). So happy to finally have it. Pic shown next to my preloved key cles from 2014 I picked up prior to this drop and that made me become obsessed with the mini monogram. The hot stamp isn’t that clean but I won’t complain. Love them both so much, thanks for letting me share!

These are the 3 pieces I have been able to get so far. The All In BB I purchased through a CA on Rodeo on Dec 30. The Victorine and Zippy coin purse I was able to purchase in store on launch day at the LV store at the Wynn in Las Vegas. I also have 3 more pieces that just became ready for pickup in store today and 2 purses still pending validation that I had my CA place an order for. (Sorry the lighting isn’t great)
