Serious shortage of canvas pieces

[OneMoreDay]

They're not "phasing" out their canvas. They're manufacturing exclusivity on their e-commerce sites.

I think it's fine to maintain exclusivity, I mean Hermes and Chanel do that very well. But... On the monogram cles, Bumbag and neverfull ? That's a very weird way to maintain exclusivity man !

I don’t think that is true at all. Look at the latest releases in the giant & jungle lines... and the black & white damier... On the go totes... and many many others - in canvas. There’s simply just higher demand than there is supply.

Actually, LV did say that it was producing fewer of each piece.

They release an ever-increasing amount of new products so things get discontinued quickly in order to make room for new stuff. That’s why we always say “if you see something you like, buy it now because it will be gone tomorrow.” Louis Vuitton manufactured/sold over 9 million items in 2018. And we all know that most of that is canvas.

You say that like it's a big number!




... Oh wait, it is.

That's what I heard from my SA in Singapore as well and adding to that is that the company is trying to focus on their leather pieces.

An SA in the NYC Soho boutique said the same thing (phasing out canvas to focus on leather) and my SA in Brookfield NYC boutique that is not true - canvas is just highly coveted - supply vs demand. If you see something, get it because there’s not a lot in stock at a time but that doesn’t mean they’re phasing out canvas which to @fabuleux’s point, it’s their bread and butter.

I will say though, I wish every SA was consistent with their message and is accurate with it.
