LV in Europe Club - chat thread

[bigverne28]

Do they usually take that long to arrive was thinking of getting some but I don’t fancy waiting for 2 months?

The delay was due to COVID so Samorga had a back log of orders to fulfil. There normal processing time is 15-20 business days.

Fedex shipping should have taken 6 days, but took 16, as they're also still impacted by COVID. I was about to cancel my order and then I got a shipping notification. To be fair, I wasn't going anywhere so didn't really mind the wait!

I highly recommend them as they really do make the canvas more stiffer and structure the bag which you wouldn't need to do if LV wasn't using flimsy canvas. I love them!

So my MPA Samorga felt inserts finally arrived with Fedex today after two months from when the order was placed and 16 days travelling from South Korea to China, Germany, France and UK. Lol!

They're an absolutely perfect fit and actually make the canvas less flexible and give structure to the bags. I'm planning to get royal blue inserts from Zoomoni as well to match my blue strap and these come with a baby insert for the coin purse!

Oooh it looks so good What a perfect match.
And how nice of your inserts to do the traveling for you in a time where we can't travel

Oh how I long to be those inserts!

The MPA was going to be my travel handbag and so far it's been downstairs, upstairs and a wonder round the garden!

That's also quite the travel already! Also I loooove that you're wearing your bags around the house, it totally makes me feel less crazy when I do the same My boyfriend never understands it.

So something really weird:
I made an order on the PA DA yesterday on my own account. Since I was allegedly banned from purchasing pochettes I added 2 to the bag, because heck - why not? If I was banned already it would get cancelled no matter what so why not just try it all.
But it went through. Order is in prep and they have withdrawn money from my card.

I'm not sure how this is. My thought process is:
1) My bank account cancelled the LV-purchase earlier because it may have looked suspicious with all those orders from LV in a short period of time. I had 4 orders from LV in a row all of sudden. Kinda strange behavior on my behalf haha, quarantine-life got me good
2) I returned a cosmetic pouch (pochette cosmetique) and since I returned a pochette-alike product I then had the opportunity to buy a new pochette-like product.
3) The SA I spoke with, who said I was banned from buying pochette-like products, was on her period and didn't want to be at work.

Anyhoow, I'm looking forward to receive my pochettes now Also got my hands on the reverse card holder which has been shipped, so I'll be doing a reveal next week (hopefully, because who knows with "severe weather conditions" nowadays ).

Definitely number 3!!!

Make sure to post pics of your haul!

When did you nab the card holder. Was it in the middle of the night a few days ago?

Yes, I managed to snatch them all the same night. I believe it was yesterday morning around 4 am. It was atb for a really long time, I was stalking for 45 minutes and in those 45 minutes it was atb most of the time. I was really surprised

They look like they are an amazing fit! Do you feel like youve ‘lost’ much space? Thinking of getting some now for my pas or at least for the azur pa

Well there's two pouches so I guess I'm a little spoilt for room!

I'm using this as a travel handbag and I'm not one for overfilling my bags anyway, so not a problem for me. It will literally hold my wallet (Victorine), passport, powder compact, lipstick, hand cream, phone, airpods and that's about it!

Perfect timing - this was just delivered to my workplace and I'm currently on a coffee break
I wasn't sure if this piece would be for me or not, since I wasn't too sold on the Escale collection when it was released, but I actually love it! The stitching isn't perfect, but I don't mind. Date code says it was made week 19. Super happy with this purchase

Are you planning to wear it as a shoulder bag? I’ve seen a few YouTube videos where long chain straps have been added to make the piece more versatile.

Yeah and those clear tote bags look great too imo I think a couple ladies have done that with their escale pieces the pictures are in the 'summer 2020' thread maybe
