My SA just sent me this… I think this is the Summer peach. She has it for sale right now. It’s a 25!

My CA has one quota to order too. She's recommending it to me as well. I'm torn because even though it's a pretty color, The most feminine in the 25 selection. it wasn't on my radar. And if I can only afford one p9. Summer Peach wouldn't be the color I'd choose.

My list is pretty normal, I want the bag to be able to withstand wear and tear better and ideally all year round.
1. Brown.
2. Blue or Amethyst.
3. Turquoise (again a summer color).

I think brown is just quintessential LV. Although it is not available to order, it will come back again.

Just love everyone’s beautiful P9s and would love to own one myself but would love to know if the hardware is a solid metal (brass?) or if it’s normal gold coated metal?
I’ve googled and you tubed loads and can’t find an answer. Does anyone know please?

Why don't you get an SA recommendation for the Ginza Japan store and have them order it for you a couple weeks before. Walking in to a store to find one just sitting is basically impossible. I think we still have SA rec threads, right? It's easy and Japan prices are amazing too. Also you can search for stock on the LV website although I realize that is not always correct. You can just enter Japan into the search for the actual item you want and it will usually give you all of Asia. A little homework I think will get you what you want. ;) Best of luck! When RU going?

I didn't have much time to go through SA, and I really don't have any contact for Tokyo :(
I was just hoping I would be lucky enough to score one in purple, but unfortunately, that is not the case. There was one in Osaka this morning, but it was not possible to reserve it, and it sold out.

Also, they told me that the Amethyst color was no longer available and, hence, not available for preorder. All my hopes died in that moment. They offered lemonade and peach colors, but I only wanted purple.

Don't be sad. There will be other colors coming out. LV loves making $10,000 speedys.

So I finally met my SA instore today while doing a pick up and intentionally brought my P9 along. He sensed nothing wrong with it until I told him the pocket and plaque was reversed inside the bag. He proactively scanned the bag with his phone and it’s now confirmed that the bag is legit. He’s completely at a loss as to how this can happen and he even thinks that perhaps the pocket placement is random. LOL.

He said he will raise an exchange request citing a product defect but isn’t sure if he can get a replacement in red. Also asked if I would be open to any other colors if the exchange got approved but they can’t source the same color. Interesting question and I am waiting to see how this plays out.

For the time being I will finally have full peace of mind and totally enjoy this oddity of a P9! Out today with the cherry blossom bag charm!

So happy for you! Glad you finally got that peace of mind and maybe a potential replacement. Fingers crossed and enjoy your cuties in the meantime.

Soooo…. Today our SA texted me and told me to bring in the P9 ASAP as he’s trying to get the manager to approve an exchange - a red P9 25 had become available instore. I packed everything up and brought it down and voila! Exchange approved. So I have a brand new speedy P9 25 in the same red (the color is slightly less vibrant somehow, but still ok) AND our SA went to repack the entire thing in the P9 white packaging AND the replacement P9 is now in my purchase history.

This means I can service and repair the P9 and I’ll be eligible to purchase the lock charm when it comes out in FW2025! Talk about a happy ending!! LOL.

There are differences though - so this is clearly a P9 that’s been part of the “reissue” for this year using the original season’s colors, so the plaque inside the bag is different. (Pictures taken at night so pardon the terribly inadequate lighting)

The leather square inside the pouch is now replaced by a hot stamp
IMG_4321.webp
The smaller dust bag holding the pouch and strap etc previously is now much smaller and can only fit the pouch
IMG_4322.webp
And most surprisingly no more pillow stuffer! I asked our SA if he had missed it out and he says not every P9 comes with a pillow now. But he told me to swing by to pick up the old pillow when I’m available.

Why is LV cutting corners even for the P9? The mind boggles.

Wow! You have an awesome CA! I have a red 25P9 in transit. I’m going to be very disappointed if it arrives boxed in a puddle of leather with no pillow! The other changes you mentioned above are also on my green 25P9- which I received in March. Congratulations on your success story!

Thanks! Did you order both colors during the reissue period where they offered these colors in size 30 as well?
