Refillable & you can get it engraved. I think it’s like 5 letter or 6 numbers… or something like that.
I spoke with two different online CAs and got conflicting info from both, so really nothing is reliable about this release. The second one did tell me my pending validation items are still processing though (but had no idea on timing) so I’m holding onto that.
I was getting a bit worried because I'd paid for my items via a store link and heard nothing beyond a confirmation of payment email so rang client services to check what was happening.
Manager of the store rang me and said the items would be picked up by UPS on Monday so delivered here on Tuesday and Wednesday.
He said they would have all the Murakami tissue, wrapping, stickers, ribbon & bag & even offered to give me some extra as my Alma didn't come with any.
No news on a replacement bag, so I suspect I'll have to cover the handle with a bandeau and live with it. 😊

I'm still hoping that I'm able to get the final item from my wish list (Nice Mini), but not sure how I feel about the stock in the US vs the rest of the world. It's nice that others are able to visit a store and view items before purchase or there was an online restock in some countries. Seems like significantly less stock was allocated for the US (based upon assumed demand maybe) and LV has no plans to restock. I have two trips planned to Europe later this year and normally shop at LV while I'm there, but now wondering if I should look at other brands.
Texted my CA about the Panda Keyholder Keychain but he said he said he’s been trying to see if it’s in a different store but wasn’t successful. If anyone hads any leads with a CA willing to ship in the US let me know.
This launch in the US just seems so poorly planned? Unless there is some significant restock coming which seems unlikely. I don’t understand why stock was so limited in the US. Makes no sense.
No... I've seen coussins, capucines, and some backpacks on IG this morning
Was able to order the PA and the Charlotte in Store
Should have trust my gut cause I saw it was in stock in NY but I was really thinking my CA would have worked to secure one for me but I have a feeling I wasn't a priority on this one. Maybe if I asked for a CA at the NY location maybe someone would have been willing to ship. Ah well can only stalk the site and wait.
None of this makes any sense!!!! I keep hoping in weeks/months they may be able to gear up to replenish stock but maybe all production will be full just completing existing orders. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Im now sorry I didnt try to order more last week. I knew there would be demand for PAs and Speedys but never imagined everything would disappear!
Second photo contribution to this thread - picked up the perfume travel case. I still don’t know why I bought this one but it was the only item on my list my SA was able to order when orders first opened. Now that I have gotten the carry all vibe I don’t really know if this piece would ever serve any actual purpose, lol.
I also have a superflat shawl (the larger 134cm woollen one) and the large panda bag charm on order but both are still pending validation. Who knows if I’d get those so maybe it’s good I have one item each of the white and black MC.
