This item has been out of stock for quite some time. My local LV boutique had it about a month ago. Of course my question is if it's being phased out or if this is a permanent item. I still haven't decided if this will be my next purchase or if I'll go with the black. But if this won't be an option for much longer, I may have to bite the bullet and get it before it's gone. Does anyone know? I'm full of questions lately!
