In Europe it seems like the people for the yellow pumpkin were already selected.
I also saw some people in the USA that already got selected.

I has been nominated as well by my SA and I got a „Not selected“ last Friday unfortunately. But I am not sad actually. It would have been nice to have, but I bought some other things then :smile:

I’m sorry you didn’t get selected. I’m hopeful someone will post photos of it so we can live through them and their purchase :smile: I’m Excited to see photos of things as they come in for this collection.

Oh no, I’m sorry you didn’t get selected for the pumpkin, but good you were able to find other items that you like!

With past collections that required a nomination in the US, there are usually select stores that tend to have stock on release day, from what I’ve noticed. Or within 1 month, someone returns their item lol

I am prepared to stalk this pumpkin, if I am able to (the “find in store” button and I are very well acquainted). It’s a pricey bag, so I’m hoping one or two people are more sane than me and return the pumpkin.

Yes, actually my SA told me it can happen, that someone will return his pumpkin or the ones who are selected don’t want it in the end. So they will choose other ones on the list. Even if you got a „non selected“ before. there is also already someone on Instagram who was selected and offers it to someone else :hrmm:

I can totally see a scenario where this would happen. I was nonimated and selected, but I passed on it so someone will have the chance to purchase if they love it. I have no respect for people that try to profit off of their good fortune.

Well that’s not fair. It’s times like that where I wish LV could be notified, and hopefully corporate changes their mind.

As much as I want the pumpkin bag, I’m ok with people who actually want it, to have it. It’s ok if I ultimately miss out on this bag.

Feel the same 100%. If I don’t want it I would pass my nomination too in the end, so someone else will be happy about it. Especially with those really limited items, LV should be more careful with their selection.
Like how many people that got selected for the Nike shoes really kept their shoes and how many people actually sold theirs? :D I bet the minimum kept them

My CA said hopefully within the next week she will know. I got an invite to the drop 2 launch party, actually. I’m hoping that by some miracle, it will be available to buy there.

Is that the midnight blue and gold hardware side trunk? It’s beautiful!

And you refusing the metal dot side trunk is making me feel a lot better about potentially letting this piece go.


My CA is able to see both bags on her end as “merchandise” in our country (USA). Meaning it will be offered/sold here, but through nomination.

Thank you. It's silver hardware, can look gold under certain lighting, along with the color changes from blue to greenish black. I thought was called midnight blue, but its color name is MOON.BLEU

I was told at the boutique I use had over 20 nominations. I'm sure each region will be different, but likely were many nominations for some stores. My nomination is in, I may know later today. It seems more popular then past nomination only pieces.

As for the pumpkin shaped bag-I personally think it's super cool and I hope you can get it. Was the silver one Japan only? I read the yellow one only has 8 pieces? I think the way they did it is beautiful and the price actually seems reasonable for the craftsmanship to me. I love the pumpkin bag from the 2012 collab but that one was priced super crazy. I know there is a lot of buzz about how much people hate this current collection but I think once non-product photos come out people will change their minds.

Was that only 8 for a specific region? looks like the silver one is Japan only.

I really don't know. I wish I could help you with more information though.

I can't wrap my head around how humongous these charms are (7.9 x 5.9 in)

I ended up preordering the coin purse, which appears to be about half the size. I like the charm too, but I don't know what to do with it. It's far too big to use as a key chain and won't fit into my mini bags.
What are you using it for if you ordered one (or plan to)?

Exactly this! I was all set to order the purple bag charm until I saw the size listed. It can’t possibly be correct but I ended up choosing the coin purse instead (and the Romy). Still waiting to pay for my two items though… my CA said March 30th or possibly sooner. :-s

Oh interesting! Mine sent me a link to pay and she said it will be shipped to my house. I don’t buy a lot of LV items so I thought thats how preordering works!

I did my preorder over the phone and immediately got a link to pay. She even said the items themselves should be available on the 23rd or something (I won’t get to them until April though; I’m picking up from a store and I can’t get there earlier).
