@FromRussiaWithLV I am sorry I wanted to help and checked the Russian website for Felicie, which is atb in all prints on the EU website and also still in my basket - it is not available at the Russian site. So it really seems that Russia has its own stock 
So it’s nothing crazy I started to collect only in 2018 so here it is a few pieces of my vintage and preloved collection
Again some TLC is scheduled next week for most of them so it shows usage. Bare with me lol
Vintage pieces
Trousse toilette 23 from my birth month and birth year in the 80s in perfect condition (paid way too much for that one probably because it was a sentimental piece)
Keepall 50 from 1990 that came with full set (bandouliere, name tag, and the things to hold the two handles together) in very good condition. Paid +- 1/3 of the current retail price
4 key holder red epi from 1996 paid like 35€ (without customs fees included and this is for this one that customs fees were higher than what i paid for, customs fees were like 45€ so total +- 80€) arrived in excellent condition now shows some slight wear since I use it every single day (car key and office keys)
Alma PM from 1997 this one has some damage at one corner but I just love the look of and it it’s the one that needs some cleaning the most. It’s one of my two bags to go to the office (before corona) paid 100€ (current retail price 1250€ - I’ll probably have to change the vachetta at the base some day but I will wait the very last second because that old vachetta is bomb lol)
Agenda GM from 1998 paid almost half price of current retail price. In excellent condition (just got restitched and reglazed here in 2020 but for free - long story)
Not vintage yet (preloved)
Porte document from 2003. This one is the most charismatic piece I have IMO. The look of it is just gorgeous. Arrived with a bit of wear that I was aware of but no damage. And paid like 25-30% of the current retail price.
Passport zip around holder from 2009. No longer produced. It took me a while to find it. Paid way too much for it but it’s okay because it’s a rare piece.
And in the dustbag its my latest one that I got two days ago. From 1992.
I still have another 6 key holder, another bag and mini jewellery case that are not on this picture. (Also I ve Sold a few pieces that didn’t work out for me like agenda PM, agenda A4 (gorgeous piece) Rabat clutch and chantilly PM bag) I’ve also purchase a speedy 25 from mid 90s for 100$ everything included but gifted it to my sister as her first designer bag and also to convince her that she didn’t have to spend crazy amounts to have designer bags(wanted to keep it for myself though!!) and I have another one coming tomorrow from 2001 also as a gift purchased for 150€ +55€ customs fees that shows a bit of wear and current retail price 1450€!
Saved a loooot of money
and the quality of nowadays pieces is nowhere near the same as all these pieces.
I understand that vintage/preloved is not for everyone.
Usually either you love it or you hate it. I personally loooooove it.
Voilà
Long rant my bad

Thank you
It does girl it truly does !!! Lol That’s why I only have one bag from the boutique I am in NO WAY interested by canvas from nowadays
That old one is so thick it feels so sturdy and luxurious
When I compare it to all the slgs I’ve acquired since November 2019 in the boutique. It’s a no brainer
wow... would love to own something small that is vintage one day.Thank you

It's true that sometimes I feel an LV item and it just feels cheap, i'm sure this isn't the case with the vintage stuff.
In the meantime, I bought a zippy coin purse and it arrived yesterday. Had defects, of course
.Scuff on the inside leather that the inner white fabric is exposed.
Then the outer canvas on the corner is like 'coming off' the fabric, and I can push it back and it reveals the glue.
Exchanging. *sigh*, the quality is so disappointing I might have to stop eventually....
After trying to catch the UPS for one week already, calling the UPS customer services for ages and taking a drive to a suburban area where UPS is located tonight - here she is!!! MIF and freshly made. I'm in love!
