Curiosity: What do you guys want most from the Totoro collection?

I‘m honestly extremely torn. Totoro is one of my all-time favorite movies and my no. 1 comfort film so I feel like I really can‘t pass up the opportunity. I‘m usually pretty good at not falling into the collab-trap but this one has a hold on me!

However, I do struggle with the price point of the items, especially considering that with regular Loewe bags and slgs, everything but the Puzzle usually ends up in the sale with substantial discounts. This makes it feel like I‘m paying an even larger premium on the Totoro collab. I‘ve seen Hammocks at 40% off more than once, so paying over €2000 for it kind of irks me, even though the design is adorable.

So, if the big bags are too expensive, that leaves smaller SLGs and pouches. I like the Heel and Gate pouches but I question their usability/practicality. I really don‘t need another card holder/wallet but that seems like the most sensible choice to me overall...

I upgrade my phone every two years, spending so much money on a phone case didn't seem worth it to me. If I find it on super sale, I will definitely snap it up again. Second, I like putting my phone in my pants pocket and that would be hard with the nose. It's a super cute phone case and the quality is amazing. If you're planning on keeping your phone for more than a couple of years or you find one for a great deal, I would say buy it.
They put them all on sale in the Loewe site.

I agree that they are cute, but it is a hard sale for things so short lived.
 
Did anyone receive an email from loewe re: the totoro prelaunch? When you signed up there was a pop up saying they‘d "be in touch" by Jan 4th. I didn’t receive any emails, i‘m guessing I didn‘t "win" then?

Same here, I haven’t got anything yet.

I think the price could be justified because this time it is not prints but leather in layering which is more expensive, but I would also hesitate to invest so much in this type of special collection.

I does look cute though!
 
So I am actually pretty upset with Loewe’s online store customer service.

I ordered a pair of napa leather pants in the private sale. But instead I got a pair of suede ones in a different size. I contacted the customer service and established it was a warehouse mistake. Okay, these things happen. I had to photograph the pants etc, and it took them weeks (and several prompts on my part) to arrange for a courier pick up. They would not give me any information as whether I would receive the pants I had actually ordered. I had to keep asking, several times, only to be eventually told my pants were no longer in stock. All in all it has taken them over one month to reimburse me. They have been perfectly polite but quite passive and inefficient about the whole thing. Plus I have received no apology or compensation. I think a small discount voucher would be the minimum to expect. I mean, I have got discount vouchers from NAP because a shipment got delayed... It just didn’t feel like a luxury experience at all. Very disappointed.
