Loewe x Spirited Away

[wenlet]

I am firmly in the camp of “don’t feed the resellers”- the more we buy from them the more they’re gonna keep doing this because its profitable for them!

 

[Logic]

Looks like a few of us is having that thought of….oh I should have bought this during the presale…just to be kind to the wallet at the start.

I too have been wanting more so went to check out what’s left in two stores today. Quite disciplined felt like buying another SLG but only wallets left

I got the shipped notification from DHL for my mini soot puzzle!!! So worth being up at 2 a.m. buying the pre-sale and frantically calling my card company because the payment kept being declined.

People are selling scratched off raffle tickets and notebooks on Vestiaire. Ridiculous!

Oh, I saw that, too, that people are selling the scratch cards! Used ones. Why would someone buy that…?!

I totally understand cause of I'm just pining for the susuwatari press stud charm... Cause after my bf put in the 2nd order for the good-to-have susuwatari hanging charm I was like ok ok that's it... Already 2 items... So I told my bf yup I'm done when he asked if there's anything else.

Now I'm like... yea yea so many more things I'd like nooooooooo Unfortunately my friend's in Fukuoka and I don't think there's a physical store nearby oops. Sad that the JP website requires a JP credit card and billing address so no way I could order on my end

Fukuoka has two Loewe stores. One in Tenjin Iwataya and one in Hakata. Both have the spirited away collection (probably not much now) according to the Loewe website.

Same reason they buy paper-bags - can’t afford the stuff but want to seem like they own something from the brand. OR counterfeiters trying to get authentic packing to pass off.

Yeah I saw this on Vestiaire! It's nuts!

The more I look at the soot sprite charm, the more I want it I should have thought it through more in the days leading up to the presale. Seriously considering paying momoland's mark-up...

Prices are crazy, but, the good thing about VC is that you can also look at items actually sold and that tells a different story. I see nothing having gone for an exhorbitant prize. A couple of Hammocks have sold for around 1500 eur

Resellers hope that after a while of these items being shown at this prices, people normalize them or thing it is a bargain if they then put them down a bit. Don’t feed the monster!

My two scarves were the first to arrive! Strangely enough they were in two different sized boxes. I would’ve assumed that with the product being the same size, they would be consistent with the box size as well. The boxes are packed in the exclusive sleeve and each came with a set of stickers.

Heard a giant “THUD” in my doorway, DHL dropped off a hilariously large shipping carton for a scarf, but no movement on my mini puzzle purchase. Maybe they’re trying to find an even bigger outer box for it

Also, I too got a ridiculously oversized box for the scarf. I thought at first I didn’t get the stickers but they were buried in an enormous nest of packing

I also got different sized boxes for similar items, bizarre. And when the DHL courier came precariously carrying two tees and a scarf, it looked like I had ordered new furniture

Finally got my shipping notification! Ordered the Bo mouse mini hammock during the presale period so that was quite a lag there (shipping to Australia). I did also send an email (no reply) a DM on instagram and several polite queries on their insta.... to which I also did not receive a reply. Hopefully it will come with some stickers etc though I see it is quite variable!

I’m hoping this goes the way of the Totoro collection where it will kind of begin to normalize in price after some time. I desperately keep looking at the Bo Hammock bag on VC but I know not to the feed the monster. I don’t mind a small mark up but literally 1200 extra dollars for the bag is crazy talk.

YAY both my parcels have landed safely at the bf's! I can't wait to see them soon!

I hope everyone gets their orders soon! Fingers and toes crossed!

I'm with you! Do you happen to recall how long it took to normalize after the Totoro drop? I'm ready to scoop up either of the mini soot puzzles or the soot charm if I find it close to retail.

I noticed it started to normalize about 4-6 months. And by about almost year mark, there aren’t many listings on the various resale sites that are obscene above the original price. Like right now, some people are trying to sell the Kaonashi bag for literally 2900+ when it was only 1150. Which makes me personally more mad because I was trying to buy that one during the presale and it sold out while I was checking out. But similar bags from the Totoro collection eventually went down to the just a few hundred dollars over the original price mark for the most part.

Omg that is so comforting for me to hear, thank you. 4-6months is actually the ideal purchase time for me so I'm going to cross my fingers for both of us. I don't mind paying a small mark-up but I agree that current prices are outrageous.
