Star dice will be available to purchase separately and our SA has already offered them to us to purchase in the presale. However, the yellow star is exclusive to the personalization box and the submarine dice is also exclusive to that. All other dice will be available for purchase separately subject to availability in store!Does anyone know about these star charms? I saw there was a dice set mentioned that had exclusive charms. I think @despair highlighted this? Just wondering if these stars are likely to be available separately as I don't see them online.

Thanks so much for the dice info. I'll be getting a silver star for sure. And this is soooo cool! Great work 😍Slightly off topic but since the personalization box was so expensive I decided to make our own, using the mid autumn VIC gift from last year and a spool box I got from a craft store. Haha. I have to say it looks pretty ok! And we really have a lot of dice that we haven’t used……
€1200 is what I’ve been told 🐳🐳🐳Does anybody know how much the large whale be in Euros? I tried to call Loewe thrice today, to see what the flagship store will get (I don‘t want to drive in when they still have not received the goods) and asked them about the catalogue, but I haven‘t received anything yet and can‘t find the product online. Need to think what piece I want to get, or if it is too expensive I will pass.
Thank you very much for the info! 😘€1200 is what I’ve been told 🐳🐳🐳

Lately, I'm in the same boat! I finally got a chance to look at the collab, and the only thought I keep having is "Wow I'm so uninspired". Designs feel underwhelming and the whimsy I so love and crave with most of Loewe's collaborations is missing. For example the panda hammock last year was a true work of art with 2-3 different types of leather marquetry wrapping around the bag on 2 faces. The lemur bag's tail can be hung in 3 different ways for versatility which seems silly that such a small detail matters but it really made that bag special. We even had penguins jumping off of the Loewe logo on a sweater!I am in a similar position - have seen quite a few pieces of the collection and also tried on the RTW, but the pricing is all over the place this time with some really (IMO) extortionate pricing or a higher price but less detailing (eg the octopus felt charm is pricier than the mandrake felt charm I got in the last collection and yet the mandrake charm at least had leather leaves as part of it).
Also in person many of the pieces failed to wow me - it's a fine line between whimsical kiddishness and outright a bit too cutesy and cheesy, and I don't think that many pieces hit the mark this time. Eg the Amazona 44 is positioned as a men's bag, but the rabbit print (not even marquetry!) just feels like it would require a very unique aesthetic for most men to consider.
It's not like we are not getting anything (we in the end confirmed one metal anagram charm, three tees and the whale pebble tote), but we certainly were struggling to find pieces that we felt was more worth the pricy buy-in.
Maybe you can purchase via a proxy service or personal shopper and then ship to yourself when you are in Japan? You wouldn't be able to have non resident discount on top though.This set is $1600, with exclusion of Octopus and Mushroom dices. The leather strap colors are also exclusive to this set.
I have noticed the prices in JPY are much cheaper than USD ranging from 200-600$ saving per item. So those traveling to Japan can buy the items at good prices. For example, the Bunny Amazona is 600$ different, and with tax will be around $1000 saving. Although I’m going to be in Japan in a few weeks, I don’t know if there will be much left by then.![]()
