right now it looks like a mens line hopefully they will reconsider!!!!!

The end of the article:
“We are going to put Damier Graphite in every store. We are expecting great things,” Arnault smiled.

Vuitton re-launched Damier back in 1996 immediately building a significant business, the checkered pattern now accounts for one third of the label’s bag and accessory business.

Vuitton is famously secretive about exact numbers, not even revealing its annual sales, which are believed to be around 3.5 billion euros. However, executives indicated that their goal is to build Damier Graphite into a 100 million euros business within a few seasons.

As we said, Graphite, Damier at least, is the new black.

Above leads me to believe they will extend this into a womens line. I already want a Damier Graphite Speedy!

So today we waitlisted for the Keepall 55 Bandouliere, 6CC Wallet, and the iPhone case... I also snuck in some pictures of the lookbook which I'll be posting later... There's some pretty nice stuff!

We also got the Damier Beaubourg and Epi keepall 45!

Sorry if this post looks odd, I'm on my blackberry

I am also hoping for the graphite to be in a speedy.

I like the handle covers- they should do this in different shades!

 

[sparklywacky]

would there be a Vaslav in Damier Graphite?

 

[mcbg1]

Have the prices been released for this line?

 

[swalk]

Is there a wallet in Graphite?

 

[speedyqueen]

Maybe an idea for a SO Speedy after 6 months' time?

I asked my SA, she said it will be launched in Canada around Aug 15....

how come some other members are able to pick up already?

I think it depends on the store, and if they had pre-ordered the items.

Anywhoo, I'll be at the Bloor Street Location on Aug 15
