I don’t think she can choose not to give you Kusama packaging as it should comes with your Kusama item. Definitely ask for it if it’s not provided.
I'm sorry to hear that your LV CA is not good to you. All CAs are not created equal. I hope your next one is better.
I see. Next time I will get it from my home store too. I was actually at the store on the release date and the SA was trying to get me to buy it but I told her I had already preordered.They had it at my home store. I'm happy to be twinning with you.
Great minds think alike
Cheers to twinning!
I just picked up the Marellini and I love it! I think I read it somewhere that it will be included in the second drop? I usually don’t follow the news so I’m sorry if I am wrong.
I love the little coin pouch that is attached to the bag! It’s pretty big so it will hold my keys Here are some photos in case you want to see a different angle from LV site. It has a removable shoulder strap and shorter handle. Shorter handle has polka dots (sorry it’s hard to see in the photo!). If you are thinking about getting the bag, I highly recommend it!!
It’s adorable and the pumpkin coin purse is so cute. Enjoy
Noooo way the pumpkin is a pouch! It's freaking adorable! With that pumpkin, I think it can slightly justify the price of the mini bag!
I agree. I had no idea the pumpkin is a pouch too. That adds value. And that white tag, is that a luggage tag? Or maybe it hold a card or two?
The white tag is actually attached to a mirror. I bought the bag in Japan so with tax free and USD exchange rate, it came out to be about $2,600. I thought it was a great price considering the increase we have seen recently!
Another one who loves the pumpkin pouch!! I think they would have sold tons of pumpkin charms and pouches if they'd made them available separately ... which is probably why they didn't. 
My CA did check today. It's not even in the system in the US. They bought it in Japan. Do you know if it's a country exclusive?@brnicutie you better visit the store again?

I really don’t like how many multicolored painted dot pieces there are. I think from an homage perspective, it’s worth making some pieces. But I think it also takes away the “specialness” of the original. Some things should be kept as they are, not copied for a quick buck, I think.
My art and design opinion, I just don’t think the painted dots look good on most of the pieces. The original trunk has better harmony and balance. The original trunk doesn’t have equally spaced dots, allowing for better visual interest and movement. The painted dots for this collection are evenly spaced, lending to a more rigid look and feel. I’m not getting the same resolution, as I do with the original trunk. The number of dots per piece tends to be lacking too. Kusama’s work has a good sense of repetition, rhythm, and scale. She tends to adjust the size and number of dots, relative to a piece. The scale and number of dots work for the original. Many of these Painted Dots pieces look like they’re starving for more. The majority of them just look unfinished to me.
Infinity dot pieces are 10x better, I think, because you have a lot of dots in two different sizes (bigger and smaller lol). Infinity dots has better movement, balance, and rhythm. Whoever okayed the pattern for Infinity Dots, good job.
Psychedelic Flowers is beautifully interesting, but I can see why it isn’t the main focus. Asymmetrical and organic designs tend to be favored in the East. Western design tends to favor symmetry and geometrical compositions. Most mainstream/well-known fine art and design works follow Western aesthetics. It makes sense that a Western brand will favor Western aesthetic choices as ”the safer and more commercially-appropriate option.” Because of history, a lot of Westerners see exoticism and eclectic in non-Western art and design, and it’s not always in a positive way.
Dots are just “safer.“
Planning on going to Japan this week. Which store did you go to, and was stock for other Kusama pieces still good?
