In fact, they made buying the Mirage and Mono Bequias difficult for me. They are selective in selling the seasonal items to walk ins and they play mind games with you, i.e. even if they have one on display and say they have one for sale, after passing them your passport, they might refuse selling it to you by coming up with excuses not to sell you. More on that later.
in paris, when u go Chanel...u get to see their mens section in rue cambon w/ those jackets n stuffs thats u hardly see anywhere else also some of those hard-to-get bags and accesories. in hermes, by luck u may even purchase a birkin/kelly by 'walk-in'.almost the same thing happen when u walk into any of those french boutiques but i agreed the same thing doesnt happen in LV. they built such a phenomenal store in a very 'tourist-ey' area but not to expect high traffic of foreigners flaunt in to get a special treat of limited items? i find it annoying and very not soo french of them.
i guess they expect people all over the world to come to france looking only for the cheaper price tags of normal and permanent items. if its true... theyre very wrong. and its very insulting to us too. (totally my one-cents...)
anyhow, ure safely back in KL now ya? hoping all is good and im guessing ure now readjusting to the normal KL life. welcome back to the world where 'teh tarik' is our latte and 'roti canai' is a french pastries. kiddin!
dont forget to post photos of ur haul!!
