Highly recommend snagging it!!! I tried one on in store and it is STUNNING.

The colors are gorgeous, the lambskin is so soft and lush and the bag pockets open so easily. It is a smaller bag, but still big enough to hold phone, wallet, keys, cosmetics and glasses. The only reason I did not buy it was because my CA said that the lambskin does crease and that it was not an everyday bag but a bag that needed lighter use. I use my LV bags everyday, even doing grocery runs, so I was worried it wouldn't hold up to my daily grind.

I would but I'm accustomed to carrying my (ex) wife's purse, not wearing one lol. 😂

Well, I've been following this thread enthusiastically but I am not a fan of the superflat and I like the colors of the MC line but colorful PLUS lots of "LVs" popping is a bit too much for me. Therefore I didn't want to get super nervous about it and just went to the Vienna store today without appointment to see what they have in SLGs/accessories which is the maximum I can see myself using from the MC.

I was a bit surprised that the window displays were full on Murakami but inside the store the Murakami section was only a small part more in the background (even though it's a huge flagship store where they moved only ~2 years ago). At the door I was told I could have a look while waiting but that they "have not yet everything unpacked and on display" - which was a bit confusing to hear one week after launch, maybe she was referring to the restock items. It seemed most customers were not interested in Murakami but more the "normal" stuff and it was not crowded at all.

I really liked the MC square sunglasses, but unfortunately they didn't fit perfectly and I am afraid of trying to bend them. They had quite some bags on display, but I didn't ask about the availability. I would have loved a key pouch/passport holder or a notebook cover but of course those were sold out, the SA even said the store only had 1 (?!) notebook cover assigned for the launch and no restock since😱 In the end I only ordered the criss cross cardholder in green/yellow and it should be here next week. The print on the pink criss cross in store was blurry, but I mainly like the green/yellow color combo and the little pop of MC is just a nice little extra for me, so it's fine.

The SA really tried to sell me on a bracelet or white cosmetic pouch, so I guess they have plenty of that 😅
Maybe I'll try order a passport cover or other stuff online at some point, but I somehow felt a bit underwhelmed in store and was not in the mood for spending more ....

Not surprised about the stock situation in Vienna. The launch event isn’t until next week…

And I think that one Notebook cover was me :lol:

Hi. I dont have the photos on my computer - I received the white multicolor Alma. It is stunning - the only thing I wasn't thrilled with is that the fabric on the zipper pull isn't beige like on the original collection, it is flaming white, which will show dirt as the zipper goes back and forth. Otherwise it is a gorgeous bag. It is small and lightweight but I don't have to fight to get my big phone in it. And now I'm trying to get the black Superflat alma, which my CA couldn't order on 1/3.

IMO would be even better if the zipper fabric was that hot pink accent color! A nice pop and less likely to show dirt. Sometimes I gotta scratch my head wondering how they can overlook details like that or think they are not important.

For those of you that buy sneakers from LV, I was thinking of getting a pair. Do you use them daily or a couple times per week or just wear them on special occasions. They are not cheap as you know but I’ve never owned a luxury pair of sneakers. 🤷🏻‍♀️
