Damier Sophie - where would this be launched?

^
I think some of the reason would be that they already have many similar sized bags and that they only want to release it in the biggest market for smaller bags. Louis Vuitton no sale, no discount policy policies makes it necessary to never produce too much as it would be too costly to destroy a large amount of bags or store many bags for a long time. The places this purse is being released is basically Japan and the most common place to go for japanese tourists. =P
 
My SA told me it's only being launched in Hawaii, Saipan and Guam. The Monogram Canvas was carried in Japan but they won't have the Damier. I was told the bag would be released August 1st.
