Interesting. I guess you're right... in the future many others must be willing to buy them in order for them to appreciate in value. If they limit the number of pieces in the release then the math adds up.

Exactly.. I've never heard of Jeff Koons or his works. But say if he is kinda on par with the likes of say Banksy then I can see why people would buy it even if they didn't like his work. It would be like collecting a piece of Jeff Koons work of art so to speak. Ive seen preloved limited edition collaboration's items up for sale from mnay moons ago. The prices on certain collaboration aren't that hot so don't sell as quick or as expensive I would have thought they would. So I guess there is a risk.
The irony is all these items look like fakes.
You haven't seen them yet and many fake items look like real
Hopefully all of those that buy these bags are going to hold on to them because I honestly can't see resale being very good on these, unless you are willing to sell for a lot less or wait a very long time for the right buyer that appreciates the art and such to come along.
Van Gogh is the best, and i wish they make something in a mini pochette?
I am REALLY thinking about getting either a NF or a Speedy and personally I don't care much about the resale value. I don't think I'd resell any of these pieces nor I'd keep them in my closet. I love art and I love them so much, I'll probably wear the piece I get a lot. I don't know how much the bags will cost where I live, though. I know I'll get at least the pochette.
I never sell any of my bags. I bought them because I want to have them, therefore NO resale for me. I am happy just to look at them as a piece of art, why not?
Keep in mind that resale value is absolutely not a concern for most LV customers.
When I first started buying LV, I bought and sold A LOT of bags until I learned what worked for me. It was a very expensive learning process, but now I know what to look for in a bag. This collection is gorgeous and I'm pretty sure I won't want to sell anything later.
I agree most part of your statement. But I notice in South East Asia this maybe isnt. A lot of ladies will buy and sell their bags after a season of use or a year of use. They sell it to bag consignment store there's plenty on the high street in eg hong kong and japan. They are then able to afford to upscale for the next newer handbag. Plus in these countries they are able to take out small loans, collateral against these designer bags, it's a big profitable business model. Ownership for the long term of a bag isn't a big part in these countries but rather being able to experience, carry a new bag for a little while, then move on to the next is more appealing. Hence why so many preloved item's come from these parts of the world.
I certainly don't know south east Asia customers. And what you describe sounds totally foreign to me. I plan my purchases as long-term acquisitions, not as disposable items.
What draws me personally to LV is the timeless, classy, chic of the brand. To me, this particular collaboration diminishes that and *screams* museum bag, knock-off and a sleazy sort of haute fashion (that's just my opinion - I much prefer when the artist collaborations use original vs. reproduction artwork). Despite my opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I am thankful we all do not wear the same lens and that there are many that have fallen in love with this collaboration. I will enjoy seeing these in person and TPF reviews. I do appreciate all the points of view here and learning more about these masterpieces because of it. (o:
I know it's a bit confusing but this is indeed about Koons' original artwork.
The editors were given an advance look at the collection before the Fall show took place around March 7th. Until now production have likely to reduced the styles offer to 40. The article was written in advance and was just waiting until Monday to publish.
