I thought about that it is possible that the shortage of products that are usually in stock (Speedys, Neverfulls, etc.) might just be because everybody is buying the items they have wanted for a longer time now because of the rumored price increase and not because LV is limiting stocks themselves. And that the website downs are just happening because traffic is too high as there were a lot of rumors that the price increase would happen on September 1st. Which I think would be a bit funny if it was true, by the way.

Also, keep in mind that during August in France more or less everything is closed and everyone is on holiday. And some might think that is an exaggeration, but it is not: I used to work in wholesale retail and there was really no one working - neither at our suppliers nor at the shops that we catered to - I am not kidding. So production might also be very limited during August. We all know that most products are usually only made the week before or maybe two weeks before they arrive upon ordering - so it would make sense that, if a lot less was produced in August because of the French holidays, this is a reason why less stock is online now.

It would be very interesting to know if there are exponentially less MIF items over the years that have an August date code. But I guess it will not be possible to collect that sort of data.:lol:

That is a really interesting observation! That might also explain why last month (July), there were stocks of even the usually HTF items (ex. PM mono, reverse). I hope stocks go up again in September before the rumored price increase. :) I am kinda losing hope no the pochette accessoire. :(
 
adjustable shoulder strap 16 mm mono is also atb! i want it myself, but i think i'll wait since i've just bought the felicie... it's a gorgeous strap though :heart:

I ordered this strap a few weeks ago to convert the TP26 into a cross-body bag and also use it with some of my vintage LV bags. It‘s a great strap and very comfortable so I‘m very happy with the purchase !!! :) if you love it, get it!!! :)
