Yes there were two currency conversion transaction fees on my card despite the orders being cancelled (and no sign of a refund being in place yet).

I think the only way something could come back in stock online would be a return... if they were clever they'd do a second Totoro collab. It seems the demand far outweighed the supply.
I often shy away from collab/seasonal items because I don't know how the value of these pieces will stand against the test of time. But this Loewe x Totoro collection has really been quite a hit in this forum. I can't wait to see more unboxings!!!
I think so, too... the identically lovely Loewe De Morgan collection took about a month to sell out...
mine is still processing too, I think they need longer to ship this time with all those orders...
Surprisingly, the basket bags (both small and medium) and some clothing are still available online!
I think because the basket bags look like their regular ones. There's nothing special about them besides the black patch and eyes. Granted I still bought the medium one to try, but I have a feeling, I will be returning it. I really want the leather jacket, but unfortunately, I don't have $5,100 laying around.
I agree. Would've been keen to make my first Loewe purchase from this collection. But I am not a "VIP", nor did I get selected in the draw so of course on the official launch day there was nothing good left! This ridiculous situation of everything basically selling out before the launch day has put me off the brand - and when these negative experiences happen with brands I don't tend to go back to them.
The funny thing is that I was invited to participate in some in-store Totoro origami activity NEXT Saturday - it is hilarious to me as they will be doing the event with no ability to up sell any Loewe Totoro product since they are all sold out. I'm guessing they really may have hugely underestimated the demand generated by this collab vs their usual.
Yeah that's a bit silly. Maybe they are hoping to get people in-store to buy something else? But who wants to hang out unnecessarily in a physical store during a pandemic?
I assume it depends on the location. If I was in Taiwan I would have no second thoughts staying in retail stores, restaurants etc. as the infection numbers are so low it is very unlikely to get Covid.
Here in Germany retail won't even be opening in the next few weeks and honestly I would not be surprised if it takes months until shops open again...
I think its ok here in Singapore since there's a mask mandate and generally the pandemic is being handled capably on a national level. But yeah it's gonna be a weird event when the reason you're holding the event is already gone from sight (apart from the store decorations)
I managed to get my hands on the coin cardholder in apple green and it's beautiful, but unfortunately not perfect. What I'm wondering is if you guys find this wrinkle/crease in the leather acceptable on quite an expensive SLG? Or is this usual for Loewe leather goods? (It's my first piece.)
While I understand leather can have imperfections, it's a deep deeeeep wrinkle. It's actually better in photos than irl. Even if you lightly press on that corner the back of it will crease heavily, whereas the front is absolutely fine. I am a fairly fussy person (as you can tell
), and tbh in any other circumstance I would probably exchange this. But since that's seemly not an option due the the severely limited stock... should I just suck it up, keep it, and try to love it?
Actually a better question would be, has anyone had experiences with wrinkle/creases in Loewe leather and what would be the best way to smooth it out? I don't have many leather SLGs so please let me know if there's a way to make it less obvious! It's kinda taking the magic out of it... almost as much as the flubbed online launch
TIA!
