I managed to get something from last year‘s Totoro collab and I said the only way they‘ll get me to buy anything at full price ever again was a Spirited Away collection. Here we go again…
Honestly the sneak peek designs currently don't really appeal as luxury bags (the Yubaba one for example) but man the paper bags are absolutely gorgeous. I know I'm going to be spending money on the collection IF I get any access to it though. Haha.
If there are more pieces that feature the characters integrated with leather working like the Boh preview, I might have to reconsider an LV purchase!
I just said the same to my boyfriend. He loves Studio Ghibli and wasn’t able to get anything from the Totoro collab. The resale prices are insane for what I find. So I told him full price might be our best bet. It’s the first time he’s ever shown an interest in luxury goods for himself.
I had an extremely bad experience with the Totoro release so I won't be participating with this release.
I placed an order online as soon as they were released online and paid with my credit card. I ordered 5 items in total and they held my money for 1.5 months and told me they were only able to find 1 of my items available for me. It was a big mess and I wasn't the only one that had to deal with the whole mess.
I communicated with the customer service through e-mail and she was very nice through the whole process. I was able to get a compensation gift in the end.
It was also frustrating because I saw buyer who had connections with SA in the UK were able to buy up vast amounts of items and sell them through Facebook.

Last year I didn’t know anything about the Loewe brand until I saw the Totoro collection so queued up at the store on launch day. Whilst there was some SLG the cardholders and bags were all gone during the prelaunch. I saw SA holding a yellow gate pocket bag of totoro so asked my SA, she went to ask the other SA so I got to have it.
I’m excited for this collab but want to see the items beforehand! The Yubaba one looks like it might be a Basket bag? And there’s a red Amazona for Baby Boh Mouse?
I’m hoping for an SLG with Radish Spirit but maybe it’s not likely hehe.

It was quite an ordeal last year. I won the raffle to purchase via my work email, purchased items but didn't realise I was logged into my normal Loewe account, and everything got cancelled the next day. Then, my friends and I were scammed by a Malaysian personal shopper who took our money for the Totoro collab pieces she said she could obtain for us, then sent me a single extremely fake puzzle wallet a month after ghosting me. Painful experience and cost us over S$3,000 in total... She was operating what seemed to be a legit personal shopper business since 2016 with plenty of testimonials but I guess COVID disrupted her ability to travel and purchase the items herself. We speculate she probably got scammed by her contacts in Europe who never actually sent her the items. So I will be trying again this year through the official channels (we also managed to get a regular SA at the flagship here in the ensuing year) and the raffle, but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen...
