I waited long for this! When I knew the launch date got pushed back further for the rest of the world, I knew I had to get it during my holiday this year-end to Korea.

I thought I would have time to post immediately after purchasing it (first day when I landed) but (according to my husband) I made such tight plans that it’s worst than join tour groups. Save that argument for another day. Few weeks before I went Korea, I surfed their online web and found that they sold the new empriente bandouliere in all black (which was not available in my country at all!). So, I had an urgent agenda to get it before it got snapped up because it is unavailable in many stores with only 2-3 stores having stock for that bandouliere.

The reason for wanting that bandouliere was because it’s all black, even the leather trims, unlike the usual guitar straps with vachette leather trims.

I only checked where it was made in when I arrived at the hotel.

I could finally post them in Dec when I return from the holidays. Gotta make full use of my holiday time till the max and whatever free time was spent trying to stuff my luggage with skincare loots! It’s land of beautiful skin and makeup!
 
Cheers @Bumbles and I'm actually popping in store to LV tomorrow about the denim collection, I'll keep you posted on what I grab when it eventually comes in to Dubai. Will you be getting anything from the denim drop? I feel like it's right up your cool street too :biggrin::heart:
Thanks Donna! The denim collection looks fab, can’t wait to see what you get. The only item that catches my eye is the key pouch but then I have one already and it doesn’t get much use so not sure if I should get another one hehe I’ve also been thinking abt the nano alma in fuchsia so will have to find some time to pop into store to check it out and see how nano it is lol. Keep us posted on what you order.
 
My replacement PM has arrived. My initial was wonky View attachment 5912242
Replacement looks much better…thoughtsView attachment 5912243
The bag is pristine and much smooshier than the initial bag. The only thing I could note is that the embossing is noticeably deeper on the bottom than on the flap. Would this bother you? Sorry if I am driving you all crazy. But I do not purchase frequently and when I do I totally over think it...

I too can tell there’s a difference in embossing. But is that enough to drive you crazy? Tbh usually if there’s something a little off I can get over it and forget about it. But if it’s a real annoyance to me it will bug me forever (though may not be a big deal after a while). Here’s an example. I got the HR bumbag. It was so hard to get at the time. On the back is a very slightly perceptible line in the canvas all the way down the back (it’s in the fabric underneath the coating, my guess is that it was a fold in the canvas fabric before it got coated). Because it was on the back and I knew no one would see it I just kept the bag. Though I should have returned it bc every time I catch a glimpse of it I get a little annoyed. It’s frustrating when we pay so much for these bags and they are not of the highest quality. I try not to be overly picky but there are things that will definitely bother me…..is this embossing one of those things for you? If so, return.

No it wouldn't bother me. Enjoy your perfect bag.
