Just when I was starting to lose hope...

I spent the whole long weekend trying to track down this little gem. Vancouver, BC is sold out (5 month wait list). My mom is currently traveling in HK for a few days and when she called client services, they advised that the waiting list has 200+ on it. I wanted to order it from the states but wasn’t able due to my “LV profile being Canadian and unable to be used in the US” (which is so lame!)

But! My mom just told me she lucked out and found one in HK!! Can’t wait to use it at the end of this week

PS - Thank you @unicornssmile for being open to selling me your extra bag. I hope the new one that comes tomorrow is perfect!

Glad you got one !!! And the back looked perfectly aligned when you sent me the photo. I hope the one I pick up today is perfect too!

Don't give up hope! I would keep checking stores. I got mine a few months ago and the bag was just sitting there on display since the person who ordered it ended up not getting it. I inquired about why it hadn't been put on reserve for the next person on the wait list, and the SA never actually gave me a straight answer. Though he did keep telling me that it was a very long waitlist and the bag had only been out for about three hours??? It was odd but I love my mini. Point is, I wouldn't give up hope to anyone who wants one. I love my backpack and use it all the time. No color transfer issues either (I have the reverse).

Hmm maybe the SA was too lazy ? Lol. When I returned my minis, 3/5 times the girls said they want to keep it themselves but think it is too trendy and only 2/5 times the manager said call the next person on the waitlist.

I actually really wanted this one !!!! But I never saw it online ? I remember seeing a few pages ago that someone just ordered one and since then when I check the website, I've never seen it there. Could you provide me with a product number for me to call CS? I LOVE how the back is perfectmy aligned lol

@Poochie231080, how much longer is xl to the usual bandouliere? Or with the original mini strap? I use the included 1long and short strap and find it a bit too narrow & too awkward for crossbody so I am eyeing this one. TIA!

it is roughly the same length although you can shorten the included mini strap more due to plenty of punch holes.

The XL is reversible too and a lot thicker...i like it in reverse the most and it seems to turn heads more lol :amuse:

The length is between 105-120 cm

Hi all, I went to the LV store yesterday and got a reverse mini! I was so shocked they had one. I had wanted a mono but secretly really wanted a reverse....all the while having very little hope of getting either (esp the reverse)....since the availability is so scarce. There was a reverse PM size on display so I offhandedly asked about ...oh is that the reverse? And the SA says, that's the PM size, we have One mini in stock I'll get it for you....and she came back a minute later with it, I couldn't believe my eyes.

I checked the date code when I got home. She was made in 40th week of 2017, so the first week of October 2017! I thought she might have been a return, but perhaps not since she was only made last month. So.....it's possible to still find one in store!

I haven't scrutinized the alignment too much, but after reading the last 20 pages of this thread, I think I will take a closer look tonight.
