Me too ! I would never wear this (or the PA) as a handbag (I did not even know that was a thing to be honest), they are just soo handy for travel…

I got the TP 26 in 2018. I never got to use it. But figured I will one day when COVID19 is over and the world a safer place. I bought it for travel purposes. It's a classic. Get it while you can.
I doubt the CPs will be discontinued as these are not so easily converted to bags. I believe this unfortunately has led to the demise of the TPs.
I keep hearing rumors circulate that they are moving away from Canvas in general.
I’m also wondering when they are going to increase the prices on the more affordable pieces.
Yes, they're concentrating on leather and canvas prices will continue to increase. If you noticed in the last few PIs earlier in the year, all canvas increased, but the leather did not. I believe one leather bag actually had a price reduction.
There are some yt videos about converting these as well. I'm sure these are next in line, especially the GM.
Yes people do convert these, but the trend is not as big as the TPs. The Kirigami could be next as these are converted alot with d-ring inserts.
TP26 as a bag wasn’t something I considered to do, but after I bought the Game On TP, I did it anyway. It’s just too pretty to use only as a toiletry pouch. 
But what I was going to say is that LV should get it things together, most of the new expensive bags fit less than the TP26! So no wonder people convert it to a bag. It’s just ridiculous to make all those pretty bags too small. For example I’d buy the Papillon Trunk if the size would be bigger. Everything smaller than Alma BB is just impractical for me.

True, but as the TP is going the other similar-ish items (cosmetic pouch, kiragami set) might be the next best things people turn to to make bags out of slgs. Would not be suprised if LV discontinued those aswell down the line. Such a shame really.
Did some researching after reading this thread yesterday, and there is definitely a shortage now. Even on e-bay they're being extraordinarily marked up and not as easily found as they were 2 months ago.

Exactly. This goes back to my earlier point - if they want to move away from Canvas they need to step up their game on the leather bags. The only leather LV bags that made me do a double take was the Capucines, and some of the new epi leather colours on older styles. This is not a knock on anyone who likes the Coussin or recent releases btw - I’m sure they’re great quality, those bags are just not wishlist bags for me.
Funnily enough, this reminds me of when the Coach “C” canvas was all the rage and diluted Coach’s brand value. After many years, Coach is now much more focused on their leather products and their brand has rebounded. Premium vs contemporary brand arguments aside, it seems like LV is trying to do the same thing now. I wonder if they’ll succeed. Unlike Coach, LV has always been known for their hard-wearing canvas, whereas Coach built their brand on quality leather products.
This makes me want to get a Toiletry Pouch and make it into a bag just to stick it to them hahaha

I panicked and bought a Toiletry 19 today. I drove just over 45 minutes each way, in the rain but I’m glad I got it. Last one in the store.
Like many, I was shocked when I heard the news on Friday. It was not a product bag that was in my list but like many I want to have it in my collection before it is missing
Yesterday in my store (Paris) only available :
26 TP empreinte Red & Blue (630€)
15 TP Mono (335€)
And one Mono & Black she looking like the odeon bag but I don't know the name

Have a 19 and only use for organization when I’m carrying my Petit Noe or Graceful, which isn’t very often. Now, for some strange reason, I want the 26. Too bad.
