Sorry to hear, what did you order that was canceled?
The canvas bag strap with the susuwatari on it, the susuwatari charm and the brown susuwatari mini puzzle. I did it in one order and the whole order got cancelled. I think next time I will order the items separately so maybe increase chances of getting an item? Although I don't think there are other Ghibli studio movies with the susuwatari so this was probably the last chance.
 
I received my online order from the Loewe website yesterday (the anagram Susuwatari bag strap and 3 SLGs), and I'm also a little bummed that I didn't receive any stickers! :sad: The small boxes for the 3 SLGs had the Chihiro sleeve over each box, as well as the little booklet inside on the Spirited Away collaboration, but the bag strap for some reason did not even have the collaboration booklet, nor any special packaging (it just came in a larger white Loewe box and ribbon)...

I remember the online order packaging for last year's Totoro collaboration being rather inconsistent too (eg some people got stickers -- including myself -- whilst others did not), so again I'm slightly bummed that Loewe still hasn't sorted their shiz out to fulfill these special collaboration orders better (and more consistently!)... (And yeah, I did dig through the nest of shredded cardboard on the tips of the other members here, but that didn't turn up anything... :sad:) Although the upside is that none of my items got cancelled, at least.

Pics of the eye candy to follow!

(On a related note -- for anyone else who ordered multiple items in the same order that shipped at the same time, did you also receive each item in a separate shipping box (but same tracking number)? I vaguely recall my Totoro order (2 items) coming in separate shipping boxes, and my 4 items this time also came in 4 separate shipping boxes, even though I'm sure the smaller SLG boxes could've been combined at least 2 in 1 box, if not all 3 in the same box! Doesn't seem like the most environmentally-friendly way to ship these orders, and it also makes me wonder if that's why they are inconsistent with packing the stickers etc with each order (eg if different people packed the different shipping boxes for 1 order, and they all assumed the others would include the stickers instead, so no one ended up including the stickers :-s )...)
 
Received the kaonashi card holder from Loewe’s website today. Came with a sleeve and stickers just as last year’s did. I only received a sleeve with my slg purchase last year. I wonder if the items in larger boxes will come with sleeves too.

Are we liking the online packaging with the sleeve and stickers or the in store packaging with notebooks, candies and shopping bags better? I’m still contemplating going in store to check out stock but I may give it a week or two to see if any returns come in. I went in a few weeks after last year’s launch and scored a hoodie so hopefully the same thing works this time around!

Oh no all the good stuff in one order :( could you see if there’s anything left at your local store :hrmm:

The sleeve and stickers are appropriately commemorative but there's no particular durability to the sleeve (maybe if it was glossy or a printed plastic?). I'm also not entirely sure what to do with the box for the scarf, but I don't want to unsleeve each time to open a box. I'm not sure I'd have gotten use out of a notebook so I guess I find the sleeve better?
