I got Sophie!!

Haha my mom already made it clear I owe her money. I've never received LV as a gift from my parents (nor any other relative), and I don't anticipate this will be the time it happens!
 
My cousin returned to Hong Kong yesterday and confirmed it was in fact the Damier. Monogram was (like I expected) longggg sold out. And yeah, it was the very very last one available in Japan...10 more days until I get it!!
