Congratulations!! I'm sure you'll love it, I saw a couple in store and they are beautiful with the iridescent leather! That's cool that you make felt covers, great idea. Happy Friday and enjoy your new purse when you see it :loveeyes:

Thank you! And you have made me more excited about unboxing it! My normal wallet is a nearly-vintage graffiti/mono zippy coin purse, which I love, but I wanted something a little less casual, and I am excited to hear that it was iridescent and pretty in real life!

Its the same price here as the Aerogram Cles, minus the tarnish-prone hardware! And with metallic leather! Men's FW22 Rock climbing cles is about 40% higher than this :wtf:

For once Men's is more expensive than Women's! I really think this Cles is worth it :P

I bought a cles last year when the metallic pearl navy colour came out. It was ~$550 and now this cles is $755. The aerogram cles is $650 here in Singapore. The only thing was the navy cles embossing was really shallow for my piece. This stardust piece seem to have deep embossing for every piece!
I had just swap my 7 year old DE cles for the navy one to hold my keys. My DE looks a bit wore at the zipper and the chain. Last year I remember they told me changing the zipper pull was foc but this year when I enquire again, it cost $$.

also I just realized the stardust cles in green has “changed” it’s zipper pull from the original concept pictures!! Original concept was the big zipper pull with leather strap tied to it. Now it is the mini zipper pull like the canvas cles. Actually I’m more used to this zipper pull because my old DE was the mini one. The navy cles with leather strap I always worry that the leather strap at the zipper will fold wrongly and the leather would split eventually.

Yes the Stardust embossing on cles is not as deep as on the bags, but still deep enough that I feel it'll last a looong time! I'm super happy with the quality for the price. The leather feels nice and smooth too. Whereas I sold my Illusion Taurillon PO partly because I wasn't happy with the shallow embossing for the price and it felt like it'd been kind of hastily made (to me). Even with the upcoming POs in plain purple orange and green, I might skip even though I love those colours.

Maybe with economic pressures everywhere these PIs will finally slow down.

Thanks, I know in my heart I’m keeping it. It will add a pop of colour to my wardrobe :smile:



The leather trim is not cut as cleanly as on the monogram NS, I think the coating on the trim looks like it may flake or scratch off if you’re not careful with it? The piping on one side of the bag is also very raised to the point I wonder if I fill the bag, the leather will stretch and the piping will pop off the seams. I think it’s ok though, just hand made!

Definitely let your SA know and keep stalking the website if you love the bag! I’m nano speedy obsessed so messaged my SA the moment I read about it, before the photos! But it does seem like there could be more stock than other limited collections, and it’s still early days so good luck!

Thanks I also let me ca know as soon as I knew there would be a nano speedy but I guess usa had no preorders so now I’m stuck waiting. Wish I hadn’t fallen in love with the bag so early

Yes the US website. I’ve seen it at least 10 times since last week and I wasn’t really stalking it. It was 3rd on my wishlist and I finally made it down to get it today.

Oh my gosh really? The usa website? I’ve only seen the speedy 20s and also been told about those being orderable by my online cad but haven’t seen the nano

I’m still extremely confused about the beige in this collection - is it actually pearly/iridescent or is it just sprayed with darker beige to give the illusion of a iridescent effect?!

When I saw it at the store it was more matte than shimmery. It has a shadowing effect to give it depth.

Thanks for clarifying. It definitely looks more like real metallic/pearlescent leather than the other colorways but was still obviously painted to me. Some videos I watched keep calling it iridescent which is so misleading!

It is beige with light iridescent effects in peachy gold shades. I did not manage to capture its true color in photo but someone in Instagram shared beautiful pics. Her name is lvplusme. I hope it helps you.

Thank you! It does help. I do wish it was real metallic leather. Can’t know how the spray finish would wear off so I think I’ll pass.

I was expecting the same shimmery beige beauty as you. I was massively underwhelmed when I saw it in person. It just looked like it was originally a light cream color and then got dirty.

Before I saw the previews for the whole collection I told myself I was going to be nicer to my wallet. Then I saw the previews and was like *%#^ I love it all, sorry wallet. I was planning on getting at least one thing in every colorway. After seeing in person I don’t think I’ll be getting anything. My wallet is happy but I’m uber disappointed.

I’m not trying to take away from anyone who loves it. I think the theory of the collection was amazing, LV just fell massively short on the execution in my opinion. But that’s what makes fashion great, everyone has different tastes and there needs to be something for everybody!

I think it's still really pretty, much better than the other colors IMO, but also not what I was expecting! Unsure why LV chose to do this spray effect rather than using and actual iridescent leather. Really cool concept, just a bit too trendy for me and not my preference. I do wish I could have the chance to see it in person though. I recently got a Chanel pearly beige bag and love that, so I thought this would be a good addition but I'm glad to be saving my $$!

I don’t know if it is prettier than the others but it is beautiful IRL. It doesn’t look at all as dirty beige not at all. The other colours are beautiful too but too special for me. This one matches with everything. The best is to see it yourself and outside.
