Per my CAs, they had a meeting yesterday with corporate and were told they are not permitted to use the holiday packaging. Apparently, the packaging is causing color transfer. If you have holiday packaging, please be careful.

One of my CAs has another unicorn, the Montaigne GM Empreinte in Noir. If you’re in the US and want to purchase, PM first name and number. 
I guess being a fabric material, once you get it dirty it’s finished. Looks really nice but not practical. They should have done it in a canvas material.
Hi LV friends — can I please ask your opinion/experience on the best LV leather with the least amount of potential glazing issues or other problems? So far, I have owned empreinte, vernis, epi, and mahina (older styles). With vernis, I know there’s risk of color transfer and yellowing. With empreinte, fading of the embossing and potential glazing issues even with bags outside the 2013-2015 recall period. I have read that Capucines have a lot of glazing on each bag. And S Coppola bags could have glazing issues even outside the recall period. Do you think epi (regular styles or Twist) is the least problematic with scuffing and creasing being the primary concerns? Maybe Lockme calf leather is ok too? Or do all leather bags have glazing? Thanks in advance.
you're right. i've a 1st gen empreinte speedy that had glazing issues and have gotten the new model empreinte speedy (2017). the glazing is supposedly an upgrade and shouldn't cause issues but it did. it melted and the black glazing stained my bag handles so now it's back to the shop for a handle replacement. so far the other items in my newer empreinte collection (2017 and after) are seemingly ok though? for now..
As far as I know, you cannot return online purchases in store, however you can exchange in store. Perhaps something has changed now. You do need all the original packaging but not the outside box it was shipped in.
Thank you for sharing this experience and these pictures!
I miss London/the UK so much but am content for now to visit vicariously and longingly through pictures and memories.
I always thought you could return online purchases to the store unless something has changed?
I've had no problem with returning things bought online (shoes, limited edition bags, jewelry, SlGs, etc.) to a brick and mortar store.
