Added the TP26 to my collection of hard to find items, so needed a group shot!

Also my vanity pm finally arrived after preorder. It’s smaller than I’d expected. Here’s a pic of it side by side with a nice bb. Ok this time really off to ban island.. or maybe after I acquire a favorite mm. Hoping that comes in, though tough luck as production team has closed.

The luxury houses have to discount to survive economic crisis. They won’t advertise it but they will definitely need to discount if they want to survive. If you have purchasing history with the company I would ask for a discount. They may not be implementing yet but by the summer they will. I worked in corporate for Cartier through the 2008 recession and we were discounting...FYI.

Thanks for the info, I know you were just trying to be helpful. Some people just can’t help but to look a gift horse in the mouth. I’ll keep your info in mind. And if what you say is true, people should definitely try with Cartier since you used to work there.

LV had a price increase in January and March. I don't see them suddenly discounting due to the current situation. They are fine with narrowing down who can buy it based on people losing income as they want more exclusivity anyway.

I knew about the March increase but they had one in January too? That’s almost criminal and somewhat upsetting. They should do just fine during a recession with what they are now charging for their pieces.

Yes, I recall an increase in January (a smaller increase than the March one). I purchased a Graceful and a zippy in late December, but held off on a Siena I wanted. Went back in late January and it was slightly more expensive.

To me someone who has that level of “purchasing power” at LV probably spends hundreds of thousands if not millions.

Just because a few did it back in 2008 doesn’t mean they’ll all do it and even if they did.. then that discount is so very exclusive that most people likely will not be able to take advantage of it.

We can debate this for days but until there is proof of this happening I’m standing by my posts :) so we can see if anyone reports back in 2020 on a discount.

I’ve been buying from LV without a discount just fine so obviously I don’t NEED it to make a purchase for something I want but It just seemed like you and few others came off as hostile towards her for daring to mention it. It was like she spoke blasphemy when I think she was only trying to help in my view.

I don’t think so highly of anyone or anything to the point where I say what they won’t do with such conviction. Everyone and everything is capable of even the unfathomable if it is needed to survive.

I don’t own stock in LV nor do I work for them so I could careless. They surely could careless about me until I’m ready to spend so I’m not trying to uphold them on any kind of pedestal.

My post seemed hostile?

I really appreciate you always standing up for others, @Winter’sJoy , but now you are making assumptions about the tone of my post and you’re calling that one simple post “hostile”?

I’ve been on TPF since 2006. During that time I’ve seen a fair share of posts about discounts (or lack thereof). The skepticism isn’t just coming out of nowhere. And I would say my post has a tone of definite skepticism, but that is FAR from being hostile.

I’ve NEVER been hostile on this forum. I’m disengaging from your post now before I come off as hostile for trying to defend my viewpoint (in a non-aggressive manner no less).

Have a good day.

I said it SEEMED hostile. I never said it was a definitive but I respect your right to disengage although I wasn’t aware we were arguing. I was simply responding to you. I hope you have a good day to and more importantly stay safe. I hope to continue to chat with you on various topics in other threads.
