For anyone in Palma de Mallorca, Spain: they have some in the store today, I have just bought one (TP26). The (very nice) SA said he did not know about them being discontinued, but he said they have big production issues due to Covid. He said they always fly off the shelves as soon as they arrive in the store!

I managed to score a TP 15 today at my local store, at a substantially higher price compared to the TP19 I bought a couple of years ago and use every day. It was the last they had. The TP26 had sold out. My SA didn't know that they were being discontinued, but she told me that they had sold the last two TP26s over the past weekend. She also told me she'd heard through the rumor mill that LV are planning to sell the canvas stuff exclusively online, with physical stores offering only leather pieces.
Congrats on scoring the TP15
I find it incredibly hilarious for LV to only offer canvas stuff online when 99.9% of the time it's out of stock and people are constantly stalking items all day. How can anyone get anything other than calling or emailing CS.
At the end of the day l think the biggest reason for them discontinuing the tp is to move away from the canvas. l think this might be one of many pieces to come. Even if people were wearing the tp as a bag, if they were promoting the canvas would that not be free advertisement for the brand seeing how versatile it is? l think that is what it comes down to, they want to move away from the canvas. On another note, my samorga insert and chain is set to arrive on Tuesday! 
Honestly at this point I’m almost 100% done with LV. I buy LV canvas, I’m not interested in leather. If they abandon their heritage they’re dumb and I want nothing to do with the brand.
I know they don't care for what happens to the bags after they sell it, but since their leather pieces holds very little value, they will lose a lot of customer and the investment piece argument is also out the window for leather pieces. So all in all I think they will hurt the brand. I had never bought a mono piece upto this year, when I decided to sell a bag (a mahina xs) it had depreciated to 1/4 of what I paid for, I told myself not to even bother looking at their leather pieces, no matter how much I like it!!
And on top of that, I need to try things on! I have a certain bag all hyped up in my head, I go to the store and try it on and don't like it. I bring things to put in it and if it's a hassle getting things in and out, it's a no. Sometimes I am dead set on a bag and I go to the store and walk out with something else! How would we do all this online? Forget it....
Stupid FOMO is real lol! I managed to purchase a 15 from the digital concierge and just bought a 19 from fashionphile in excellent condition above retail but not a lot ( much lower than the sellers are asking rn) . My fomo was also fed by seeing a picture of princess di with one ( hers maybe a 26 but I think a 19 is better fit for me ) and I have a MAJOR soft spot for her.
It is very real. I've been looking myself!
Isn’t it though? I didn’t feel compelled to pick up the 26 cause I knew I could get it when the need arises. Now that it’s not available anymore it’s become that much more desirable.
Omg same here! A few weeks ago I bought a 19, and two days ago I was miraculously able to panic-buy a 15 from my local store. I feel like a need a 26 in order to complete my trifecta, but then the rational part of my brain kicks in and tells me I don't actually need it. And then I saw the exact same pic of Princess Diana, and now all rational thinking is gone . . .
Wondering if these TP 26 will still be released next month !!?
I know you said non-designer but I thought you might want to check out the LV Pochette Voyage MM
I’ve questioned whether I should get a TP 19 now lol..fomo..I’m good though. I find I use mini PAs more than I would another TP. Just glad I was able to snag a TP 26 before they discontinued it.
