A local consignment store has just listed an authentic original Murakami Trouville in new condition in multicolour blanc . Stickers still on zippers, vachetta pristine and comes with box , dust bag , care tags so basically a full set . The price is £1600. I’ve ordered it and due to be posted tomorrow but now having a slight wobble. It can’t be returned due to demand for it so debating whether to cancel before it’s posted to me . Does this seem a fair price ? From what I can see ones in terrible condition are selling for close to £1000. I’ve ordered a noir toiletry pouch which is still pending validation 😩. I think I’m just feeling guilty for spending so much in one go 😩. Does everyone else get the guilt when they make a big purchase ?? X

I have no experience with vintage Murakami so can’t say if it’s a good deal or not, but yes, I feel guilt with every big purchase until I forget how much it cost. 😄 Even though I don’t buy using any payment services and it’s all stuff I can easily afford. I guess it’s because I’m not wealthy enough for £2000 to be a drop in the ocean. So far haven’t regretted any of my bags though.

My own guide is that I won't pay too much more than their retail prices originally in the early 2000s.

I bought a white LV Murakami Alma from the early 2000s with heavy water stains on the vachetta and some dirt on the canvas but structurally sound for GBP 650. A bit more after taxes. But it may be that I snatched one of the last few who were selling before the new 2025 LV Murakami re-issue hype.

Looking around prices are not the best right now. It was still OK before everyone had their preorders cancelled but after that, there seem to be a drop in supply as people withdrew their sales and keeping them, and an increase in price for those who are selling.

But if you are happy and you want it, price can only be judged based on that.

All the best!
