Wow that’s definitely way too much! I think a lot of people fall for LVs whole scarcity tactic. Add the fact that this bag blew up on social media makes it even more desirable. A lot of people definitely have this “I need this NOW” attitude.

I admit it would’ve been nice to get the MPA at the original release price, but I’m glad I waited. I was furloughed at the beginning of the COVID pandemic and it definitely wouldn’t have been a good idea to get this bag then (I guess I could wear it in the living room lol)!

Just saw this on my Instagram feed. It’s not even brand new. Retails for AUD2790, used to be AUD2450. I don’t get this hype!

Love it but can’t justify it! One strap costs the same as a nano Speedy for us Canadians :lol: I might as well order a MPA (which I will down the road)

Thanks for the update :smile:

I agree. I want the macadamia one but can’t justify the price unless I can resell the coin purse for a decent amount since I already have the multi pochette in kaki

Worse in Australia, resellers are asking AU$800 on top of retail post price increase and in some cases $1100 above the old price. I don’t know why anyone would be desperate enough (for canvas nonetheless) to pay that kinda markup. While it looks like the MPA is impossible to get from LV retail, I have the choice to pay a little extra and get it shipped from overseas but I have decided that maybe it’s not worth the hassle. I’m putting my money away for now. The MPA is a fun bag to have but definitely not worth the game.

Yes I definitely agree with you there. It’s crazy how all the new release items in Aus there is never stock and it’s always call for availability which is so frustrating. I have called up abt it many times, and thought by now, almost 1 year after original launch the stock would be more free flowing, but still nothing. I asked my SA too, but nothing coming in, and not point preordering either. I see in the US and Canada Stock is readily available especially when stalking online. I guess we just have to keep waiting and hope more come in, but for me, when that times come I’m kind of over it then because I’ve had to wait so long.

Re: the upcoming straps....that useless hanging pouch is just a ploy to scam more money off us. The separate straps alone were under $500 last year and had no pouch.....and why release similar colors again ????

Agreed. No interesting colours, more money, pointless coin purse if you already have the MPA and excessively overpriced.:girlsigh:

I think this situation in Australia has made me lose interest with the MPA and perhaps in LV altogether. Also doesn’t help that I see replicas of the MPA for sale on FB marketplace. I’ve never been a fan of canvas anyway so it’s an easy choice. I’m saving/spending my money elsewhere.

I will definitely be really skeptical of their pre-ordering from now on.

It’s like off the plan apartment. Paid deposit but wait substantially for the final product. I seriously think they do it to reduce production volume and make these seasonal items “made to order”

nothing wrong but customers suffer from false “launch date”. They release maybe 10 to attract 1000 orders ...

I got mine today (ordered Aug 10)! I think this one is probably a return tbh. The booklet and sku sticker are a little wrinkled. I checked the bag over and it seems ok though. I didn’t see any scratches on the hardware, but stitching on the strap could be better. Made in USA.

:shrugs:‍ Will probably keep it, because I’m not dedicated enough to return and try again. Especially because dealing with UPS in Canada is a nightmare!

Agree that stitching looks rough.
