I have a question about LE, and I apologize if this is answered elsewhere...just how limited is limited edition? How many pieces do they make? I know each store gets an allotment, as my boutique had to request it from another boutique; how much is that usually?

Sorry to quote myself, but I'm hoping that someone has an answer to this, please?

I absolutely adore my new necklace....looking to add some RG/letterwood next, hopefully before the price increase!

That would be just in time for the anticipated launch of the malachite.
I keep wondering why VCA has not yet released the all letterwood collection.....do you suppose they want to sell off all of the le letterwood pieces first? Would they release both letterwood and malachite at the same time?
I wonder....

good questions--i recently heard malachite in the Fall?? I do think they like to stagger the collections. I have heard them say that its hard to sell bits and pieces of a group. thats why they keep things in the back that are random pieces

What do you mean by random pieces?
Malachite in the Fall? Well, I suppose this will allow many of us time to recover from the LE letterwood purchases..ha!
Spring would be a more logical time to launch the green, however..and the letterwood for fall... Wishful thinking on my part, perhaps.

My SA told me Malachite is coming out in March. They've already begun taking pre-orders for it. I really hope it's March and not fall. I'd like to wear it for spring!

I think the number of pieces in a limited edition collection differs by collection and by piece. For example, in the letterwood limited edition there were less 20 motif necklaces available than there were 10 motif necklaces . I can't remember how many 20 motifs but I think something like 220.

In contrast the blue porcelain collection that was sold only in Paris had only fifty 20 motif necklaces.

Thank you, sbelle! So limited really is limited. I'm wondering, are the limited edition letterwood 10 and 20 motif necklaces just the ones that are alternating, or are all rose gold letterwood necklaces limited? Thanks again!

The alternating letterwood is the limited edition. The all letterwood is not a limited edition.

What a relief! Thanks again! I'm looking to get two rose gold & letterwood 10 motifs next, I think. Now I don't have to hurry!
Interesting that the website doesn't have any regular rose gold 10 motifs (they have the 20) and nothing else in rose gold and mother of pearl at all. My luck already I'm picking the difficult things to find! After buying Hermès for so many years I'm tickled just to be able to walk into a store and buy what I want!!!

You will probably wish to purchase them both before the next price increase.
