I called the customer service line everyday for about 2-3 weeks to ask for availability at any of the Sydney stores. When one was finally available, I drove down straight away to snag it! Sometimes you can ask them to put it on hold for a few hours for you, but I called around Christmas time so they weren't able to do that for me.

I've heard of others stalking the LV website multiple times a day, everyday until one was available too. Good luck!

Which Sydney store was it? I might try calling customer service. I've been looking online a lot over the last month and a bit, nothing!! I'm not sure if there is a specific time when they refresh product or anything, so I am just checking many times throughout the day.

I ended up purchasing it at the George St store in 2018, but did also ask about stock at The Rocks and Bondi Junction. I remember there were a few workers on the customer service line who told me they weren't allowed to give me that information (??) because it was a popular product. At the time, I was living a 5 hr drive from Sydney, so once I explained my situation they were happy to tell me which stores had stock.

If you're calling/looking that many times a week, I'm sure you'll eventually find one! It might just take a bit of time especially with the current circumstances. Good luck! :smile:
 
Just unpacked my preloved mini pochette. Then I got a text from my SA that they finally got one in store. If only I had waited I could have gotten it at retail price. I still got it for a good price but still kicking myself. I hate that I’m so damn impatient.

I would buy the new and then sell the preloved MP.
 
I do! I use a Samorga one. You loose a lot of real estate space using one, but I’m very accident prone so I feel better using one.
Do you mind posting some pictures? The sides on my preloved one are a bit squished, if that makes sense, like it's been in storage a long time. And I'm wondering if a Samorga organizer would help give it structure and pop out the squished sides. For the time being, I have a rolled up styrofoam packing sheet in there until I can find another solution.

Sure! My 2018 Christmas animation mini PA is preloved and squished. Here’s what it looks like without the Samorga insert and with the insert. It definitely helps give it the structure I want. I hope this helps!

I placed an order in person and paid the full amount upfront @ Sydney Maison boutique and my monogram Mini Pochette took a month to arrive! Received it yesterday

I suggest you try calling the Louis Vuitton Sydney David Jones store to see if the order list is still open. I was there 2-3 weeks ago chatting with an SA and she told me if I wanted to place an order through their store as well, I don't have to pay the upfront deposit and payment for the pochette would only need to be completed when the item actually comes in. Hope this helps x

Hello! I have a bit of a dilemma and am hoping to get some opinions. I'm trying to decide on what strap to get for my Mini PAs (DE + Mono); I have a few in mind already but I can't decide on hardware/material/colour. Ideally I'd love a saffiano full & half chain/half leather strap in brown/gold but the only option that it comes in is black/gold hardware. The alternative is purchasing a darker brown, softer leather strap which isn't as durable as saffiano imo, but the colour is quite close to the LV DE straps.

My question is: how do you guys feel about black straps w/ the Mini PAs? I haven't seen any pictures online so mod shots would be appreciated, but it would bother me to not have them match. I feel like I could get away with using black on the DE print, but not so much the Monogram.

Hey lovely,

It depends on which strap you are looking at getting! If you use Instagram, check out @kimcurated :) she used the dark khaki strap from the Multi Pochette on her mono Mini Pochette and I think it looks super cute. I'd also suggest checking out Etsy or Amazon for bag straps that look similar to the LV ones - https://www.amazon.com.au/Leather-P...ocphy=9071872&hvtargid=pla-941936832474&psc=1

Do you have any pictures of what you'd ideally like? I currently use a chain strap with my mono Mini Pochette that costed me $12AUD :)

I'll be buying from Coach and repurposing the bags that come with it, as I trust their quality & would prefer not to purchase from etsy/amazon for personal reasons. I also have a chain strap already. I've seen Kimcurated's posts! It looks cute with hers but I've already tried on a thicker strap and couldn't get used to it, myself.

(the brown, softer alternative; this one is a thicker strap as far as i can tell, and i'm uncertain if it's a brown or a red-brown as pictures vary but i was able to find a thinner version on other bags.)
