Are you serious? You must be so lucky dear!!! which store did you get yours (if you don't mind me asking) ? The one on George St where i usually go. The SA there told me its about a 3month wait and 300 hundred people waiting when i first went ....... but honestly I'm not sure i feel like different SAs tell you different things. Last week i went in the store, a different SA said there's 50 people ahead of me and i've only put my name 2wks ago max. I might go in tmr and ask if i could put my deposit. I think it would be paid in FULL first before i even have the chance to try it on :( I had my eyes on the PM as well 2 yrs ago when i bought my alma. I tried both of them on side by side but alma won because i love the shinny look of the vernis. Really shocked that PM would become this popular.. Still contemplating ...

I have gotten mine from the Singapore ngee ann city boutique from the SA i contact with. I placed an order on 20th may over a text msg with her.

On the 22nd may 2016 i poped by the MBS boutique and the SA there HE, after knowing i have put my name on waiting list on other boutique (seems a genuine deal client), start offering a mini available immediately, claiming that it was for a client who only pick it up on july and able to release it to me.. seems fishy and so i rejected and told him i get back to him the next working day.
(So afraid its a return bag from client) - even its a unworn return bag, i might be some defect with the bag that other client returning it. 😯

Not taking any chances, but want the bag so badly, i called my ngee ann city SA and ask if she could get it within a week for me and told her i got offered a bag at MBS. She was shock and said no and she cant promise to get it in a week. But i end up telling her i shall wait for my new bag to arrive. 😟

So i called MBS SA and told him i will wait for ngee ann city bag. But on 24th may 2016, he called back and informed me that my name on the waiting list has been cleared and informed me to check with my SA at ngee amn city. Indeed it came in within 5days and i rushed down to pick up this baby! 😘

Just to share my whole bag hunting experience.

😀
 
The guy SA at the MBS boutique was a nice guy, even i rejected the mini he offered me, he did not fail to keep contact with me and informed me that my bag at ngee ann city has arrived. Thumbs up for him. Great cust service. 👍
Perhaps the mini that he had offered me was indeed a new bag but i did not want to take the risk.

Maybe its me who think too much but i want to be safe than sorry. Nobody would want a used bag. 😷

On the otherhand i do not want to be sorry towards my SA at ngeeann city who had already order the bag for me without any deposit due to trust. Thank god, i'm paid off well..

I don't know whether you're aware that actually bags can be transferred from store A to store B if SA requests for it and also depends the other store SA agrees to release. 😊

However, for mini 🎒 I am sure no SA will want to release it to other store because it's selling like hot cake so they'll keep it for their own store to sell. But for other bags, I don't have guarantee they won't release. Therefore, sometimes have to be careful too. 🤔
 
I cant get enough of it. Wearing it 4days straight. Brought it to work, to shopping, to nights out during the weekend.
Compliments everywhere i go.

Another thing about the date code you could check the production date of your bag. Mine wrote AR2106. AR means factory in france and 20week of yr 2016. So its produced just 16th-22nd may and shipped to SG and i got it on 25th may. Thats was surely a new piece indeed. 😊

Info on date stamp - https://www.yoogiscloset.com/authenticate/louis-vuitton

The date stamp for palm spring mini is the tab on the inner side of the small pocket in the large compartment😎
 
Which lux brand are you into(handbags in particular) ?? I love Chanel i own a few pieces from them but they are getting ridiculously too expensive.


I don't have any Chanel yet. I like the look of Chloe, Celine (the nano luggage is so cute!), and intrigued by the wackiness/quirkiness of Moschino. Loving the mini backpack so for now it's LV all the way! :)
 
hi,

am just curious.
The date stamp for on my palm spring mini is the tab on the inner near left corner in the large compartment, not in the inner small pocket. Does anyone has the same position of their date code label as mine? thanks

I also started using my mini and found it very cute even my hubby thinks so though he also wonder why the price for this small bag is much more ex than the other bigger LV bag I have like siena pm. :laugh:

Mine is in the large pocket in the main compartment on the right hand side. Yours is in the outer small pocket? I haven't heard of it being there. I know of a lot of people on the forum with the date code in the same place as mine, while a few have mentioned it's in the main compartment on the right hand side. This is normal, for two locations of the date code. Hope this helps.
