Love your video, especially also the last part with the stroll through the shop! It is so much better to see the pieces on video or other photos as on the webpage, this is really helpful if one tries to decide what to buy. Congratulation on your Emily cover, it is supercute!

I am actually thinking now, that there must have been massive stock everywhere: the shipping is totally messed up. We don‘t see soooo much unboxings here at TPF, but also on Insta or TikTok or Youtube, so that stuff must go somewhere else to people who don‘t post on social media or here.
About US/Europe: US is much much much bigger then Europe. The must have proportially more stock. I bet there are also proportial much more people interested in LV. E.g. in my personal life bubble I only know one who is as enthusiastic as me about LV and a third one who is partially interested.

Maybe you are right - this just seems so disorganized and poorly planned. I think it would make more sense if this was a limited drop that LV didn't advertise or place items that are clearly unavailable on their website for order.

My Superflat Speedy has just arrived. Will inspect it closely later, but what I've noticed immediately is that the box was torn. Outside box and inside box. Don't know if UPS has thrown it around or what happened.
One thing I also noticed while unpacking, is that there is a small nick/tear on top of one of the handles. Nothing very obvious but you can see it when you really zoom in on the 3th pic. So not visible from a distance as you can see. The rest of the bag looks good at first sight, have to inspect later because UPS was late and I have a few more appointments today, and then it will be evening and dark already. So I can inspect further tomorrow.
The box is not a problem, I could always exchange for another one, but it makes me wonder what happened to it during transport.
If it's only the nick on the handle, I think I'll keep it.
Would you accept the bag if it had a small nick/tear on the handle? Or would you try to exchange it?

It’s beautiful!! Congratulations 🎊 bummer about the packaging and the handle, it’s not bad but definitely an imperfection!

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.

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 in

Im in Southern California and in certain towns here LV is part of the suburban and urban uniform!! Tremendous demand here across a lot of different demographics.

The handle can be replaced. IF you like it I wouldnt return it unless you KNOW you can get another one. Sounds like somebody may have tried to cut into the box to steal it and then decided it was too much trouble?!!

My speedy 20 had really funky piping on the bottom corners. I have a second one on the way and will keep whichever bag looks better. It is such a fun yet practical bag that can be used every day.

Wow so many pretty items still in your store. I was going to say did you get the alma bag charm as it looks gorgeous on your TP, but then I saw your box and it looks a bit bigger than that. So excited you managed to grab something else. Am looking forward to seeing it
Click to expand...
I've tagged you in @Bumbles and I agree the bag charms are SO cute. There was one I wanted but no stock, so if I do get lucky to grab it I will let you know as I wanted one to wear it on my black mc TP x

EDIT: Lol I am struggling with lack of coffee today :biggrin: and I've responded to the wrong one, so I've now got my act together and that's why you've had two different replies, so sorry lovely :biggrin: . I mean I couldn't even say the word Magenta in today's video :nuts::biggrin:

LOL my CA was like "are you ready for cherry blossoms" and I was like NO. NO NO NO.

My CA mentioned them to me too and I told her tell me when pre orders open although I just dont think I can do it, other than maybe a bandeau for my other monogram pieces. The cerise collection on the other hand could seriously damage my wallet!

Just MO, but I’ve come to the conclusion that LV did this on purpose. They lost sales last year for the first time in a really long time. Had a dip in their last quarter. By creating all this hype knowing there wouldn’t be enough to go around allowed those that were becoming bored with the brand to talk about it again. Or even buy something else since they couldn’t get what they wanted. It’s the same old games and marketing tactics they’ve done before. Everyone’s talking about the collection, and they’re getting tons of money on loan while people wait to see if their order will be fulfilled. LVMH is a multi-billion dollar corporation. This isn’t their first rodeo. They’re padding their earnings for the first quarter of 2025 for their share holders. I feel bad for the SA’s because they’re the ones that get caught in the middle, and are just trying to do their jobs. They don’t know what is going on, and have to deal with the angry/frustrated customers.
