The toiletry pouch is for carrying toiletry items/cosmetics/etc and has a wipeable interior and tough canvas exterior. That Coussin is lambskin and $5000 and probably has a leather or microfiber interior. Sheesh! I find it absolutely asinine if this is the real reason they have discontinued a popular and iconic piece that is part of their legacy. There is some very bad, very short-sighted decision-making going on at the top, it would appear. If LV is distancing itself from monogram/damier canvas, I am absolutely done with them and will just seek out preloved going forward.

I understand i dont use my toiletry pouch as a bag but there are many who use it that way , nothing wrong in that but i think lv thought if they release coussin pm with toiletry 26 around then people might not be interested!

coussin range is a no go for me !

IMHO, I think it's foolish and smacks of being pompous. "OMG, how DARE the little people buy these toiletry bags and use them for ANY other purpose than what we, LV, have ordained them to be used. HOW DARE THEY!" Oh, please. Bite me.

Look, LV is NOT Chanel or Hermes though they SO WANT to be. LV has/had a superior product which was their coated canvas bags and accessories that lasted a LONG time (because they were well made) and offered a distinct look that no one else did. Their items are STILL loved and wanted by MANY and yet....that isn't good enough for them, it would appear. No. They want a certain class of people to ONLY buy their items. That's disturbing, it really is. So, make it difficult to purchase our items and make them VERY expensive and then we can be considered elite. Wow. How sad.

I don't buy Hermes any longer because they made it too hard to purchase their items. I'm not driving to a different state anymore and I'm not playing the games of kiss-up; the items simply aren't THAT life changing. Chanel? Love you SO MUCH but you only make flaps now and your quality isn't great for what you're charging. LV? You're trying to be something you're not and that's a shame. I just want to know WHY you think you have to be something you simply aren't. You don't do leathers well; your leather styles are so-so. You EXCEL in coated canvas...stick to that and create amazing collections. Stop fixating on the "who" and focus on your collections and you'll make even more money.

So, so stupid to cut out ANY chance of pulling in customers. What do they say..."Cutting your nose off to spite your face"? Yes indeed.

Definitely well said ! The annoying thing also is the so called "purchase limit" for bags and SLGs that might or might not get you banned, but also make exceptions depending on how much money you've spent.

I hope LV isnt slowly getting rid of their canvas cuz thats their appeal. How is their unknown and fast changing strategy supposed to bind loyal customers to them?

I find it strange tbh and its giving me a mindset of getting the canvas items I have on my wishlist sooner than later.

Actually, I think your assessment is correct. When I stopped by one of my local stores (we happen to have 5 in my area :shocked: ) to purchase a Toiletry Pouch 26, I chatted up the CA a bit. She pretty much volunteered info that company-wide, LV will be making less and less canvas products going forward. She even slid in a side comment about "The Neverfull"...but I was so excited about finding a TP26 that it didn't fully register. I should've followed up with, "Is the Neverfull next?" But the CA did say that LV feels as though there are plenty of comparable products to the Toiletry in the market right now...hence the phase out.

Anyway, grab your canvas pieces while you can....especially if they are "reasonably priced". I think they'll either completely disappear, or LV will bring them back at a later date with an insane price tag.
