Yep, there was a price increase in Australia for the mini back pack too. And the reversed mini back pack is available too. I wish they made the colour in the mini pochette. In the reverse pattern. It would look gorgeous I reckon. And very limited, and unique.
Did you happen to take a photo of the frayed black tabs? Can you please post a photo it you have one?
I'm curious to see photos of wear on this bag from anyone else that might have it.
I was at the boutique today and was told that the mini in classic mono is going to be phased out and inventory will dwindle- it will not be a part of LV's permanent collection. I saw the reverse and it is not my cup of tea. I think in terms of holding value, the classic mono is going to be the better choice.
Oh wow, I thought they were going to be a permanent piece. Thanks for sharing with us. I just got my mini mono about a month ago and I love it. I wish the straps were able to be shortened just a bit but the bag itself is so carefree and adorable.
You are welcome. I was a little surprised myself but my SA told me that they still work off a list when classic mini comes in- they cannot meet demand even though it is possible to buy from the website. But it will not be around forever. I suppose it also has something to do with the cooling of the backpack trend generally and that there is the reverse and the World Tour competing. LV does not want to cannibalize itself I am sure. I bought the mini early and am thrilled with it and have no interest in anymore.
I finally got a call and was told the original was defective and have another bag for me! I picked it up and when I got it home for further inspection I noticed the small straps were missing and only the long ones were attached. When I called and asked why I was told that the new one only comes with two long straps. [emoji46] did I miss something!? Has anyone ever heard of this!? It was bad enough my original was MIF and new one is MIU[emoji22]
Wait, what? They told you they changed the bags straps to being two long straps? Non adjustable?... Can you share a picture of one of or both of the straps?
I got one for my friend from Collins St 2 weeks ago ( I was really lucky, going in to pay my deposit for a runway bag and they had one!)
Sorry not best lighting. I'm 5 7' and on curvy side, even at the shortest setting its well below my hip. It's basically like they just got rid of the short straps. I called back again because I was sooo upset and asked if I could keep my old straps I turned in today that belonged to my old bag or have a "older model" sent to store. They asked that I come back tomorrow and see if manager would let me have my old straps and of not work something out. I really hope they can just let me have the two short straps because I LOVED this bag and was a gift from my hubby for Mother's Day.
