I was able to "preorder" the heart bag in that my name was put on some sort of list but I don't have much hope that I will get one. I did not put down any payment either.

However, there were others who were able to preorder / pay through their SA and even have the heart bag already (if they selected expedited shipping) - I was not one of these people.

I think it's worth differentiating between the two. Hopefully there will be some heart bags to go around for the former - but probably not enough for EVERYONE on the list.

I think the preorder you mean is getting on wait lists (I did that too) but real preordering (paying, shipment) was very restricted based on SA relationships or purchase history. From going in store and calling around today my impression is unless you meet a certain criteria in purchasing (which a few people have discussed), the heart bag isn’t available to you :(

Would anybody who was able to pre-order be willing to share an approximate of their account history.

the pre-order vs waitlist according to VIP status plus maybe some luck seems so confusing.

based on my own order history plus almost exclusively purchasing through my local store CA makes me think that pre-orders were limited to like $100k+ spenders.

I was not even able to waitlist on any items.

I just finished catching up on this thread and my speedy made it to "order in preparation"

I return with some thoughts...
  • I have mixed feelings on whether it this should be branded a "speedy bandoulière"
  • I'm ecstatic it's not a bandoulière in the same way the permanent collection speedy Bs are -- I've never been a fan of the leather strips down the sides or the way attaching a strap there encourages the bag to fold into itself
  • AND because it means this cutie gets that side pocket!
  • ANDDD because it means it had the little tabs on the sides, which I just personally like the appearance of a lot (especially compared to the full leather strips on traditional speedy Bs)
  • with that said, I will be very, very disappointed if mine is made in US because I don't like how naked the little tabs looks without any "made in" embossing, which you lose when you get the cloth tag
  • I wonder why the speedy B wasn't designed like this in the first place -- with the extra metal behind the handles -- I love this because it's also very subtle when you aren't using a strap (whereas on the speedy B there's metal D rings openly hanging off the sides)
  • I would die if the Game On speedy came with the clochette that the vanity case has... I wonder if I'll be able to order it for my cutiepie
  • I'm disappointed by the cube coin purse, like, a lot; I know it's probably offensive to most everyone who has taste haha, but I think my Giant cube (purple, yellow, black & white trim) will look be perf on my speedy instead
  • kinda bummed Zoe didn't come in black
  • I'm shocked by the lack of photos on the site of these pieces... there's a huge design on the right side of the speedy, but 0 showcasing of it
  • the card case is such a cool piece; I would definitely be buying this had the cart slots been of the horizontal variety (even though I still probably would never have used it as a card case even then but rather as decor haha, but we all have to have parameters for not succumbing to these kinds of impulses, and one of mine is refusing to own anything w vertical card slots)
I'm so excited!!!! this will be my first speedy 25

Thanks for the input! I was going back and forth with the white speedy/never full. I do like how there are no straps on the sides too. I asked the CA and they said they put the eater straps on the speedy to make it sturdier.

Thanks @EmmJay for the update! Do you mean the site will not replenish with the heart bag at all? This makes me so sad

FYI COUER BAG

Per my contact in Client Services, who is a manger, the Couer bag is very limited and not available to order. Stores that receive the bag are required to go through the waitlist/reservation and the client must purchase immediately. No holds allowed and the manager must approve the purchase to ensure the client was on the waitlist. There’s no inventory for it outside of store availability. Your best option is to work with a store who shows availability for it and ask to be added to the waitlist. Unfortunately, constantly refreshing the page for this item will not lead to PLACE IN CART/ADD TO BAG. Best wishes to all who are coveting this bag.

I'm sorry if this has already been asked..
But is the Game On Cosmetic pouch bigger than the regular Cosmetic pouch? Has anyone have both to compare? The website has the Game On Cosmetic pouch at 7.5 x 4.7 x 2.4 inches and regular one at 6.7 x 4.7 x 2.4 inches so wondering if its actually bit bigger or its website misinformation..

It’s the same size. Website dimensions, descriptions, and stock photos are often inaccurate.

Congrats on your speedy and definitely agree the giant cube purple yellow etc... one from last years collection looks much better than the game on. After seeing this cube I regret not buying it last year. Am kicking myself now!

I cant decide between the speedy 25 vs neverfull. What is everyone's thoughts between these 2?
Click to expand...
I got the Speedy 25 but of course looked at the NF. I think if you like both then maybe the NF is a safer choice because the white of the speedy could be an issue for some (color transfer you know!) and the NF at least comes in black. I went with the speedy in the end because I don't like totes and I don't plan for it to be an everyday item but more protected from color transfer and etc.
