My experience has always been that with any purchase I’ve always received the white outer box, velvet box, travel pouch and book/COA (as well as gorgeous wrap with ribbon and at times beautiful clips such as butterflies). When I get my jewelry cleaned and/or repaired at the store it comes back in another travel pouch. Hope this helps.

No I didn’t get a box at the time of purchase cuz I sent it out for service right away. I usually get everything when they deliver it. So that’s why I was a bit confused with the packaging. (I usually get the original box and a travel pouch)
So I reached out to my SA and this is their new packaging. So sad what all these luxury houses are cutting back on now. Where is the luxury in luxury shopping these days. Fingers crossed they don’t cut back on the perks.
Thank you for responding
Omg, the new packaging is hideous 
for luxury. Though probably practical and eco friendlier.?

Thanks for sharing this! It is pretty sad looking compared to the box.
I got a box with my purchase last week but no travel pouch.

It’s pretty sad, very disappointed in the packaging. Def costume jewelry standard. But at least the earrings are beautiful and it goes very well with the holiday pendant. So I’m very happy with my purchase.Omg, the new packaging is hideous
Yes, I can imagine the earrings are stunning, they will catch the light beautifully when you turn your head.
The packaging....somewhat speechless.....I buy one Van Cleef item a year.....whether I get the velvet bag or the cardboard packaging is not going to save the planet either way.
I brought this last week - worn it 24/7 since and I am in love as it is so sparkly in person so happy they release this as I like WG more than RG or YG. Now waiting for the WG hammered 5 motif bracelet as it is more scratch resistant than the guilloche - I dislike how the jewellery houses skip over WG in many of the collections (probably better for my wallet!)
Perhaps WG is not as popular n also more expensive so VCA had concentrated on YG or RG production? Just mt wild guess.
But now that WG is having a demand, VcA seems to slowly be making more in WG? Eg guilloche, recent HP 2022.. i used to be YG over WG. But now, Yg dont excite me as much as WG.
Sorry to go OT for a moment here.. I feel like they should give the original box with the purchase and these useful travel pouches as extras with the purchase! I’ve come to expect this from luxury brands, so to see them cheap out on us and give us the whole “you can only get one pouch per purchase and no more luxe boxes” seems so stingy and not at all a high end experience.. Is VCA struggling so badly as a brand that they need to save on packaging and reduce the whole experience?
Maybe they are struggling and explains why they charge ridiculous marked up prices for repairs. Though I hope this is a move towards sustainability.
Hi! I got my WG Guilloche 5 motifs and it’s super stunning in person. It doesn’t feel like silver at all! I worried about it before purchasing remotely because I declined the offer of 2020 HP. I’m so in love with this bracelet. If you are still on the fence and reading this thread daily like me before. Please find this post helps lol.
These are my first VCA purchases. My goal ist to build a small, timeless, luxury jewelry collection that I can wear to work. So far, I've purchased the Cartier Trinity hoops and the small necklace.
Here are some pictures in different day light (early morning vs. sunny day) of the WG Guilloche. I also tried the RG GMOP necklace in the summer and really liked it....
What do you guys think? Is this a good option for a small collection?

not really struggling but more like getting aligned with the French idea of minimizing waste in general. take note that back in 2016, France adopted a law on fighting food waste that meant supermarkets were forbidden to destroy unsold food products and were compelled to donate it instead.
Another example. This year, McDonald's France introduced its reusable packaging:
