LV x Kusama Collection 2023 - what to buy??

[Aliluvlv]

You took such great pictures of it! I love mine too and the pumpkin zipper pull is amazing.

Thank you and congratulations to you too! The pumpkin zip pull is so beautiful! Have you been using it yet? I think I’m really going to like the design of the Romy.

Yes I moved my cards over to it and put a few quarters in the zipped section. I’ve been using it for a little over a week and the design is perfect for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Thank you so much Meep! I was super excited they included the catalog with stickers. The packaging is so much better with the new boxes and the extras that come with the Kusama collection make it extra fun!

I didn’t get any cool extras with my notebook cover. Now I’m FOMO

I wish they'd done that pumpkin zipper with the cosmetic pouch too. It's so cute and honestly, I don't find standard LV zippers that attractive.

Which one should I keep? I know many don’t like the monogram handles but I prefer the blues against the grey canvas. I don’t personally favor the orange toned version. And yes the strap is from keepall xs. I like that the pumpkins are unobsured but not sure if it looks too wide on 5’2” petite me. I like that the keepall is a more proper bag and a more classic LV shape. However if I stay with the pochette voyage, I could use the difference in budget for a preowned Galaxy pochette voyage which also includes an insert that can convert to a purse. Same issue would apply about being wide though.

That’s so great to hear!

That’s such a bummer. I would email customer service and ask to see if they can at least send the catalog to you.

Yes, I agree. You would think anything pumpkin related with a gold zip should have a gold pumpkin pull.

Right!? the pumpkin zipper pull really should be on the cosmetic bag. can I as where your Romy shipped from.....Just wondering my chances of getting a catalog.....fingers crossed

Took a pic at my friend’s as I’m travelling with just a cabin baggage size suitcase at the moment and need to debox everything to fit it in.

The SA gave me a box of perfume samples, a catalogue with stickers and separate stickers. The *other* stickers were from a vending machine outside the special YK room they had upstairs.

I know there are some people I know from the Loewe Ghibli threads here and I have to say, it’s odd to be drowning in special packaging.

Didn’t unfold the whole stole but I love the design.

Just received a shipping notification for the pumpkin Speedy 20. Only took two weeks instead of the estimated 5-7 weeks. It's a gift for my mum and I'm contemplating picking up the pumpkin Pochette Felicie as well for her. I'm wondering if it'll be a bit too samey, but she much prefers the brown monogram over anything else LV, even their empreinte leather.

Ooohhh I hope you do! Mine shipped from Texas and was made in France.

I hope I receive one with my Romy, Ill see when it ships and from where.

Received 2 items today, Notebook cover from NY store; no special packaging and worse yet, did not receive the special dust bag, they kept it and shipped it in the regular one (calling CS to see if they can send me the correct one) The bandeau came with special ribbon, tag, and tissue.

That's so weird - I was drowning in packaging for all my purchases!

I'm debating a final order. I'm having FOMO over the painted dots; I wasn't interested at all when they first showed them, but having seen them in person, I love the realistic effect. I think I need to be sensible and not get the Noé, MPA or Pochette Métis. Does any one have a Paul notebook cover, Mini Pochette Accessoires or Elizabeth Pencil Pouch? (Just generally, doesn't have to be the Kusama ones.)

A quick search suggests the Paul cover might be awkward to find refills for. I also wonder if it's not too bulky; currently I do use a basic paper journal to keep track of events and activities, but it's a basic A5 Muji one in a plastic case that fits easily in many bags. I wouldn't put pencils in the Elizabeth case and not sure what else it could be used for. The MPA would easily be the most useful, plus I'd get the dotty lining ... but it's expensive.
