Zippy compact wallet discontinued

[curlyccue]

I've had my heart set on a zippy compact wallet in damier ebene for awhile now. It's been call to purchase for awhile but I finally decided to call and see if I can order one and they told me it's discontinued and out of stock everywhere in the US. I called my store and had my SA check for me to see if they had any and they didn't! I'm so disappointed I waited to buy it and I guess I shouldn't have. Anyone know why they discontinued it especially after they revamped it not very long ago? I thought this was a fairly popular wallet? Anyone have any suggestions for wallets they like as an alternative to the zippy compact?

OH man, I missed my chance. I love that wallet but didn't pull the trigger in time.

I wonder what wallet will replace this? I wish they would bring back the old model zippy compact wallet that laid flat

 

[Kidclarke]

Wow, that's surprising. I like the older version that laid out flat, the new one I didn't like so much. I thought it was a popular wallet though.

 

[curlyccue]

I thought it was very popular too! I'm so surprised to hear is discontinued. Maybe they will bring back the old version?

I wanted to look at it a month ago, and the SA said they were discontinuing the DE version because it didn't sell as well. It sounded like at least mono would be sticking around, but I know that could have changed since then too.

I asked about it in mono too on the phone and he said all styles!

LV killed the compact zippy popularity by changing the layout.

Yes, mono is also completely gone in many countries.

To be honest, I don't think all items that are discontinued are items that perform poorly.
Louis Vuitton has been more and more open about releasing and retiring items on a regular basis to always have something new in store. We have all learned our lessons: buy it while you can.

I could kick my self for not buying it when I had it in my hands in store a few months ago! Never again will I do that!

Now, I want one! Stellar marketing on LV's part though....don't you think? Discontinue something that is a staple for a while, and then bring it back ... at a higher price, of course. Still, I want one when it comes back around.

 

[Miss Krys]

how much are you selling it for?

Can we say on here? I thought there was a no selling/ buying thing or we get banned?

Buying and selling isn't allowed on the forum

The Zippy compact wallet OM is my all time favorite wallet, thankfully I was able to grab it in mono and DE! It's ashamed that they replaced it with the NM version only to do away with it a year or two later!
