☹ I saw this happen over night lol. Confused me for a second until I remembered others talking about a new increase. CS put me on the reservation list. Didn't give specifics but they said more should be arriving within a few weeks. I couldn't get one shipped from a store because my account is too new unfortunately. According to them policy states you had to have purchased with them within the past year, but not only within the past 90 days. Sad, but hopefully the new batch comes in soon. I would rather buy it direct from LV since the others for sale from 3rd parties are the same price or more...

I purchased my mini on nov 1st, the first day of the increase I called my local LV and they didnt have the mini in stock but they let me know which stores in the US had it available. Since my account is new as well they advised me to call those stores directly to purchase over the phone. Do not call LV services as they are not much help. Call the stores directly and ask them to ship the bag directly to you.

I got the reverse mini yesterday! I just went to say hi to my NM SA because I was at the mall buying a shower gift. Anyway I was shocked she had it and she said it had just come in the day before. I had to grab it. And she gave it to me at the old price, since it still had the old sticker on it. Double score!

Really???? How nice of her. Lucky you. But they still are making the reverse? Where I am they said it’s been discontinued. I have the mono ps mini but would love a reverse as well. Did you have your name on the waitlist? You’re so lucky to score one and also at the old price so that’s a double win!!! Congrats and do share some pics. What does your date code say?

Really? Thanks so much for the info, I will definitely give the one closest to me a call I always hear they can only charge the card on your account if you order by store. Never made much sense to me

I just got mines today during my lunch hour lol. I will say the mini is so cute and versatile. I must say also it doesn't fit much but just enough with the essentials -small wallet, keys, phone and your makeup (lipstick, eyeliner, etc). I'm a bit at war with myself on how little at such a somewhat hefty price. Do I keep or what??

Honestly, only you can decide if it is worth it to you. I think the bag is very useful and have two of them. I use them for going on walks and for running errands. I think the bag surprisingly fits a lot and to me it is worth the money. It is also very durable and can be carried in the rain.

Separate note aside from your post. I am not sure why so many people on this forum purchase bags and then ask if they should return it. If you were not sure on it, you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. This is unfair for the next person that purchases a returned item because someone bought it just because it was popular and "hard to get".

I have to admit, I used to have similar mentality, but even so, I have only returned two leather items out of the past 20-25 that I have purchased over the course of 10 years. Return policies are not rent policies for 2 weeks.

My advice is to be sure before you buy, then you won't have that nagging feeling of vacillation. IMO it is much more enjoyable to spend weeks, months, or even years before buying a bag, because then you for sure know you want it and when you get it, the only feeling to feel is joy and gratitude for finally getting it rather than regret and vacillation. I sincerely don't mean to offend anyone, this is just my opinion/advice from my experience.

Hello everyone! I just received my new Palm Springs Mini in the mail. I ordered it at one LV because they sold the one they had before I could go back and buy it and so it was shipped to me from another LV. Everything looks great, except the canvas does not line up along the small pocket. The design on the right is perfect but the middle and left is off center and looks wonky to me. If I was looking at it in store I’d ask to see another. But these are so hard to come by in stores so most stores have none or only one. I’ve looked at photos online and some minis line up some don’t... some are worse... some are perfect... Obviously I’d like it to line up on the front seam, but I’m worried if I return it the replacement could be worse or have another flaw since I can’t go to a store to look at the bag I’m person. I could ask my SA to send pics of an alternative bag... I feel like it’d bother me every time I use he bag but I also feel like a diva for being so picky. But it is a luxury bag and I feel it should be perfect. Ugh! Has anyone exchanged because of alignment? Insights appreciated...

Hi - I'm super Diva/picky myself but I don't think it's nothing to be worried about just by looking at the examples you've provided. But if it does bother you a lot -then just return it :). I just got mines today and still in box -now i will check to see if the designs are aligned lol.

Ok - so you have 2? Of the same bag? I do know that it is of durable material given that i've had the speedy and pochette among other items from the LV store. Im just feeling a little guilty of the little pleasure spending I just did lol. Thanks Elaria!

I have the reverse mono and the mono. Sorry, I should've specified. Not the exact same bag lol, but the same style, different print. I find it very useful. Congrats on getting one!
