There is a possibility that I'll travel to France in January... If that is the case, I am definitely going to try to get it there!!!

Also, does anyone know the release date and the price for the Speedy Bandoulière in epi? TIA!

My SA in Germany told me that the black and red Pochette Metis isn't produced for the European market. Only the Monogram Reverse will be available in Europe.

Definitely! Most of this comes from my design background and I've gotten a bit snobby about it, I think. But I think where I get with this is that the brand is supposed to be super luxe, or at least that's the way they want to present themselves. And with super luxe, my expectation of that label, is exquisite tailoring and perfect workmanship--and that to be primary focus, and more under the radar with branding, classic in general with the designs, function and form, practicality. To where if your customer is only buying ONE bag and ONE wallet and ONE cles and ONE iPhone case for the next, say, decade (as if anyone keeps an iPhone for a decade, but play along, my husband is one of these weirdos), you want that design and item to look as if it was just designed yesterday, timeless while being fresh and the color to be a neutral--so like Navy or Camel, or I guess, even Red or Black (so sick of red and black leather...), AND hold up as well and look just as good as it was just purchased. More of an all around custom-made "Armani Tuxedo" vibe, if that makes sense. But then they're coming out with screamy, obvious logos and clunky, obvious hardware and just...excess. And sure those phone cases are "fun" and "different," and no doubt will sell out instantly, but that's just not timeless, nor do they say super luxe. They scream Michael Kors to me, though I am sure they're of a much higher quality make.

*shrug* You do say it perfectly! "We all have different taste and we all appreciate different things."

ITA with you. (Pardon me for replying to this post a lot later, but I've been busy and checking out new stuff only now) - I'm not liking the new stuff - the shiny excess and bling and colors look a bit tacky, and loud. LV to me is timeless and classic, and collectable. Not trendy stuff to be bought for a ton of money and then when the trend dies out, you're kinda left with regret maybe. This new stuff is more trendy and will be out of style within a couple of years, if not sooner, and a lot of cash will have been spent on something that isn't timeless, hence a waste. Disclaimer: in my opinion of course!

The sharp edges and all remind me of the Le Fabuleux from back in...2006? 2008?
