I've been researching the pricing and it seems a bit back and forth about whether the pouch is included. A YouTuber mentioned you have to buy the pouch if you are a first time customer but who knows how true that is....That is interesting because I bought the SL GM in February without the pouch for 1500€. Wasn't actually even told about the pouch. I heard about on here when someone asked me if it came with the pouch.
This was at the St. Honore store. But there also seemed to be a shortage of most bags. SL GMs in certain colors and there were no Artois. So maybe that had something to do with it.
The pouch used to be available in the US and no longer is because they made all the stores ship them to Paris. Wondering if they weren't selling because they were $650 USD so headquarters did a recall and is now forcing people to buy them to get rid of remaining stock.
Out of curiosity which Paris store did you end up purchasing from?
