I’m super grateful for any tidbit these folks are willing to share. Even if they’re resharing because usually I’ve forgotten or missed the stories post in IG about it.

Especially once they can share actual product. The more exposure I get before the actual preorder date, the more time I have to settle down and figure out what I want to buy rather than buy all the things or overlook something.

I do hope LV doesn’t mess up this collection with weird design elements. But I expect it’s going to be expensive for me and many others 🙃
 
I don't think the negativity towards him, or other "influencers" is necessary, but to each their own.
Hope everyone pumped about the collab is able to find a piece from this collection that speaks to them and is within their price range!
Agreed. That mean girl high school mentality is the only thing I find cringe:rolleyes:

Anyway, back on topic like we all should be, I’m hoping for a cute mini backpack in this collection! I was lucky enough to see a sneak peek of some hardsided pieces and my wallet is shaking!

i was thinking if a psm was brought out in multicolour, but i just don't think it would look good. i tried envisioning it and every time i'm like nope.. funny though a montsouris mini would look really cute in the print!
 
New levels are right, always cringe but always extra with any new release people are excited about. So over the constant "scolding" and looking down upon. D list is extremely generous
lol yes I’ve never seen any social media personality who seems to hate their followers as much as he does.

But I digress, I’ve moved away from loud patterns over the past few years but the nostalgia of this collection is certainly tempting. My pieces from the original collection have thankfully aged well but it would be nice to have something updated. The original collection had a lot of heavy hardware and I’d like to see maybe a more casual style this time.

The key word for me is nostalgia. Do I want it bc I missed out all those years ago or do I want it bc I like it and will actually wear it. Kind of a heart over head situation. I'm all about colours but colourful patterns is too much

I'll get SLGs for sure (i already know what i want) but unlikely any bags I think, which is greatttt for my pocket hahahaha

Looking forward to seeing Panda and Mr. Dob!
 
I wonder how successful this collection will be. It was huge and did well in the 2000s bc bright colours and over the top cuteness was a thing. It was everywhere, that was what fashion was at that point. Especially with the Japanese kawaii trend influence in pop culture. But now, fashion atm is more refined, classic and timeless kinda vibe. Which also explains the general flop of kusama, I think. I was just thinking to myself, would I carry a multicolour speedy rn and the answer is no. Apart from people who have loved the brand and the past collections, I'm not sure how the new gen will take to it. Will be interesting to see!
Hopefully they don't give the bags away for free to "influencers" again bc that really cheapened the kusama collection and made me think "if they're so willing to give it away for free to basically everyone, then why should I spend $4-5k on the bag?". It would make sense if the faces of the house were carrying the collections bc obviously that's a no brainer but every tom dick and Harry influencer had an unboxing of THE SAME BAG and it was so cringe.
However, I personally do hope this brings Takashi a lot of success!
I can't wait to see what the collections look like and see if there's anything I'd like to add to my collection! I want cherries and rainbow flowers!
I think if they make modern tweaks like not so much brass hardware, remember brass hardware and vachetta leather were all over most of these bags, and no vachetta or dyed black or coordinating color it would have a more modern look. Imagine black MC with black leather!! They will probably disappoint me and do all micro bags.
 
We are fast approaching official holiday season and there is still no update on this rumored collection. Anyone have any new details? I have been holding off on my purchases and even sold a now dated looking MC piece awaiting this re-boot.

so it hasn't been officially announced, but it's been confirmed that it is getting a reboot with multicolour being the first that is apparently coming out January 2025.
