Sales lady told me they weren't sure it was going to be made permanent they are just trying to make enough to keep up with the demand i believe. She said the two bigger sizes are permanent.

This is what my SA told me as well. I was sooo bummed that someone beat me to the last piece they have in the boutique! I just called in yesterday to check if they have one and dropped by the boutique today to find out it was sold already via phone order! :( good thing my sweet SA still showed me the bag before shipping it out. So I got to see and try on the mini and decided to just put my name down on the waiting list a while ago, but my SA said there are no stocks in their warehouse at the moment and will have to wait for 1-2 months to produce and ship.

Have you attempted monitoring the website daily? That's how I snagged mine- a small window of opportunity opened up and I got one. I just saved the product page to my home screen. Good luck! Love mine and hope you get one!! [emoji4]

It will be a shame if they don't make a shipment for everyone that's waiting.

I was on a list for 6 weeks before it came in, but it showed up online first so I was able to release it to someone else.

I got mine by being at the Rodeo boutique when they got in a shipment of 6 and one of the people on the waitlist declined it. I do not know why they did not just go down the waitlist but it was immediately offered to me when it was declined. A bird in the hand I guess- better to make the quick sale to the person in the store with cc ready to charge. This happened another time with the cabas mezzo- someone declined and I asked about it and it was offered to me. It doesn't quite seem fair but it does happen that being at the right place at the right time can make a difference. It is the same with online- you can leapfrog the waitlist if you are lucky.

So if you are out shopping, it does not hurt to ask. Shipments seem to be random to the US and come in spurts of 4-6 pieces- seems like every 2-3 weeks.

I got 2 mini bags as walk in when i was travelling to Japan end of March. I was on waiting list at the place where i live (sydney). My friend who was on waiting list since Dec hasn't got any call yet. No luck in Hong Kong too..I was so lucky coz when i went to many stores in Japan, kept telling me sold out and very long waiting list. One day, i just simply went in to one store in Tokyo, i casually asked and guess what, they have 1 !! And i was thinking of my friend and asked if she has another 1....and to my disbelief she checked and said yes !! So i gave 1 to my friend and 1 for myself. So yes, no hurting in going to the stores and keep asking

Going down the waitlist probably mean that they have to ship it out to different location. That costs money. From what I can tell from your post, they group the number of people from the same store on the waitlist and they fulfill the orders all at once. And once the shipment get to the store, the bags stay there.

Wish I got the backpack when it first came out! The price in Canada including tax now is approx $2500 but if I went ahead and bought it back then I would've saved $400 :cry:

Wow that's such great timing. I bet in Sydney you would still be on the waiting list too. Cause I still am 😞 But they said to me 2 weeks now, so fingers crossed mine is on its way. My friend just recently got a call to get hers too! And she's been on the list since dec!

Got added to the waiting list in the middle of January.
Apparently I still have a 6-8 week wait, and I might not even get one then :(

Sorry to hear. Have you tried putting your name on different stores wait list? I have my name on 2 stores in my area, and the main store I've been on it since dec and still no news, but the other store said I should be getting mine in the next 2 weeks. Try that. Some stores are busier than others so try the less busier one. Good luck

So it turns out that despite apparently being put on the waiting list for the mini in January, I was not actually placed on it until 14th April - when I emailed asking how much longer to wait. Not too happy with LV customer service right now
