Thanks so much @DrTootr am so excited and can’t wait to see your unboxing. Don’t keep us waiting too long! :graucho::graucho:

Hey @Bumbles I managed to unbox my first LV item today, the GAME ON Card Holder and it's up on my IG stories now x

I will unbox the other two items tomorrow, as we had to go out, and I have no sun left to shoot in. This card holder is adorable and I will put up my video of what I can fit into it to my ig stories now, incase any of you want to grab one ...but spoiler alert, it's not a lot, so it's lucky it's cute :biggrin:

I bought it online yesterday morning, will only receive it next Wednesday. My CA showed me some pictures of it this morning, if I knew my local store would get the stock so fast, I would have bought it from my CA08A3B833-AFD7-4FD8-9513-23AA1E9EDA2D.jpegBC63B1B5-29FF-4EB6-9DA4-87555DC2C2DE.jpeg
The coin purse has better workmanship than the MPA’s , according to my CA.

Ooooh thank you! Can’t wait to see your reveal and your thoughts when you receive it!
 
I was attracted back to LV this year because it felt so refreshing to see a bag I liked and be able to buy it, like any normal transaction. I typically shop more at Hermès, but this simple ability to like and buy was so refreshing. Now shopping at LV suddenly feels like the same disingenuous and tiring game playing that Hermes and Chanel engage in. I know that Covid plays a role, but I think it is mostly that they think it works for making their brand more popular, and judging from the response they may be correct. I feel like I wasted my time looking through this collection since the runway, picking the pieces I liked, following along here and on IG for the release, texting the CAs I have purchased from and hearing that it is not a available over and over, and then as expected it is sold out prior to the release. It really is not worth wasting this much time over! I know I can buy from another market or through a PS, but really, it takes all of the fun out of it. I get most of the enjoyment from the shopping experience, not from just having a bag in my hands by any means required.

This is a hot Rotisserie mess.... and it's silly that the stores that got them exclusively are just sitting on inventory meanwhile they have people all over the country wanting something from the line, ready to pay and can't get anything unless you live in the area... Called cs earlier and the guy was able to take down my information for the toiletry 26, plus my regular CA so ig we shall see what happens lol.

I totally understand the frustration... it reminded me A LOT of the Hermes game, based on what I've read about it. I was kinda shocked they felt the need to limit supply/or at least have that illusion of scarcity, whether or not it's the reality. I contacted over 3-4 CAs and was told it was "impossible to preorder" the heart bag (literally have been after it since September) and they seemed as surprised as I was.
Luckily I was able to secure one from a personal shopper -- paid in full but tbh I won't believe I have it until it's in my hands.

At the same time though, being exclusive is a part of luxury in my eyes, and DOES make it feel more special, even though I hate admitting it
