I want to give a little background on myself and why this collection really struck me.
My favorite LV collection of all time was the Stephen sprouse grafitti and roses pieces. LV has not produced anything in the realm of that collection since its release quite a few years ago.
The "Race" collection for Cruise this year is very different from the Stephen Sprouse collection. However, it is a little reminiscent of the grafitti collection with the word "Vuitton" written in all its glory on each piece.
For whatever reason, I was late to "the race" so to speak. I will explain why. I was placed on the reserve list fairly early on, but my SA was then out of the store for a while. I have worked with the same person for 10+ years and only buy & reserve with them.
Well, time got away from me and by the time my SA returned to work from their hiatus, it was looking really really dismal whether I would be able to get any pieces at all from this collection.
My SA told me to narrow down my list and focus on just one bag that I could not live without. My number one choice from this collection was different from most that were seeking out the racer bags.
The alma is my favorite style from LV and I needed the Racer Alma PM in my collection. Somehow my SA worked their magic and was able to secure one for me. Naturally I was ecstatic!!!
I am not sure if this piece has previously been revealed on the purse forum, so I have some photos showing the back & bottom details as well for reference.
