I've previously posted in a diff thread pics of my noir epi Felicie and noir epi PA with short Mcraft straps. I'm now sharing them here along with my mono and de PAs and their Mcraft short straps. I prefer these to the original straps they came with because I like having clips on both ends, plus these straps are a tad wider. I think the Mcraft straps match well.

Wow, this looks great. Now I need to buy one for my PA DE haha.
 
After relentlessly stalking the mono PA in stores, refreshing the website at all hours of the day, and one too many frustrating "can't confirm either way that it's being discontinued" conversations with CS, I gave up trying to find one directly from LV.

I ended up purchasing a pre-loved one from 2016 for the same cost as buying new from LV, due in part to authentication and shipping fees. BUT, I'M SO HAPPY TO FINALLY HAVE THIS GEM IN MY COLLECTION! It's honestly in perfect condition, if it wasn't for the slight patina on the vachetta I would have assumed it was brand new!

Awaiting my chain strap from k-craft (thanks to all you lovely people here for the recommendation!) [emoji4] I hope anyone who is still looking for one comes across theirs soon [emoji813]

Gorgeous. Congrats!
I’ve been dying for one but to be honest, haven’t really been stalking much of anything because I’ve been super busy lately.
I’m going to try with my SA who always finds me what I want but if that doesn’t happen soon, I’ll totally go the pre-loved route, just like you.
It’s better to have it with a tiny bit of wear than to never have it at all. Especially if it’s being discontinued which I can’t really wrap my head around.
Why would they discontinue such a popular item? They sure make a lot of money selling these Pochettes like hotcakes! Plus, they would be removing one of the few “affordable” pieces that are also timeless and loved by so many.
Seems strange, right?

In the meantime, I’m so excited to pick up a Speedy B Mono today as a birthday present to myself. It was incredibly easy to find. Just one phone call to my nearest LV store and they “happened to have just received the one...” (they’re so cute. I’ve worked in sales too, babes, so I get it. Lol)
I’ve been wanting this bag for some time and I hope it soothes my PA withdrawal syndrome, at least for now. [emoji23]

Thank you! I hope your SA finds one for you, honestly it's been totally worth the wait.

I hope they're not actually discontinuing it, I've heard such vast and varying things from different SAs that it makes me think even LV haven't decided what they're going to do! Although I did see on another thread that there was talk of a crossbody option coming out with a PA, mini pochette and coin purse combined (it did look weird I'm not going to lie :lol:)

Congrats on your speedy b in mono! It's a beautiful piece, and as you said it'll curb some classic mono cravings :)

And happy birthday love - best wishes for the year ahead!

Thank you so much, darling! Nothing beats a Birth-date at an LV boutique! Lol. [emoji24][emoji7]

I’ll keep you posted about the PA. If I decide to go pre-owned, I’ll be sure to ask you where you got yours!
 
I want that DA Pochette so bad! I have it saved to my favorites hoping it pops up in a month or so...such a beauty! You're very lucky!
Thank you! It popped up on the site last month for like 3-4 weeks straight..
I stalked it for like 2 months-called CS, stores, site...was repeatedly told by CS it was discontinued since it disappeared off of Europe's site so eventually gave up on it, deleted it from my wishlist, and got different item instead...until a member here spotted one online, and the rest was history! I'm tellin you this forum is so helpful! So many people snagged it afterwards. Keep an eye on the stalking thread (it was ongoing topic of discussion for like 20 pages lol) for updates on replenishments. Good luck! Hope you get one!
 
Pls tell us ur $13 Pochette story [emoji74]

I'm a prolific thrifter. I could even say it's in my genetic material by now. I was at the Value Village by my place around 5:00 p.m. This particular location is rather dumpy, homeless people surround it. I sent my fiancé to look at the purses in the showcase. He says that he thinks there's an LV - I immediately dismiss this as false until I get my hands on it. I flipped the tag over, praying that it wasn't $99.99. Turns out it's $29.99. I compare it to my mini pochette and decide to purchase it. I had a few discounts along with some bottle money which brought the price down to $13.14. I get it authenticated and boom. Real pochette! I was considering reselling it but it's like new and i love monogram pochettes.
