      Yes! That’s insane! But I’m so glad that they do that. I heard a rumour they burn their excess stock, so a fire sale to employees is much more sustainable for the environment ☺️ Now... I need a part time job at LV so I no longer have to pay full price for their shoes and goods in general 🤣

      I worked as a doorman at the 5th Av (N. America corporate store) in NYC in the winter. I only made 18/hr twice a week and NO employee benefits lol (never bought anything despite loving the craftsmanship). I got the gig through a temp agency. Assuming they reopen retail, you could have the benefit of working AT (not for) LV, all the fun of the interesting human behavior at LV, biceps and core workout for managing a heavy ass door, and none of the responsibility. I would pop in a bluetooth earphone under my beanie and just listen to my fav podcasts all day as I marginally paid attention to opening the door for people! 😜

    I actually think it’s generous of LV to offer these items specifically for their employees. It doesn’t go to waste and it’s a way to boost employee morale. I work for an airline and it’s very similar as well. Aside from free flights, Employees also get first class seats if they are available.

I am not sure what happened after they got bought out by Warburg Pincus Group and then by the Canada Pension Plan Board but before all of that while I was in University and working for them they had amazing discounts twice a year to clear out stock. I was making $15 an hour but had commission in my position so it wasn't all that bad but this was also 16+ years ago.

    Most of this has changed! You do not get to keep your uniforms or work crossbody. The discount is 30% off BUT if it’s a new launch you can only purchase with your discount after the items have been out 6 months. So usually it’s all sold out so you could rarely get anything new. The discount is also capped at $5,000. So if the item was $5000 or more you pay full price. There is an employee store called “VAP” and it has retired or shop soiled items with a bigger percentage off. There are no in store sales anymore only online on VAP OR the VAP employee store in Paris. Which you need to make an appointment for and you can not shop with any friends or family. I worked for LV this last year!

    Maybe they sell “perfect sellable condition” the time you worked with LV but quality control now is really bad. I bought pochette metis online last June and they sent me glazing issues and crooked edges. I walked in to the boutique last July for our anniversary and my 6 key holder has scratches on the hardware. The store has dim lights or not bright enough to see all the flaws. I just hope LV step up to resolve these quality issues. Great video again!

      So true! An LV SA in my city tried to sell me a 4 ring keyholder with the glazing totally damage (some areas missing) all around the keyholder. When I pointed it out, he just said he was sorry and placed it back in the drawer! probably to sell to someone who wouldn't notice it. I couldn't believe it! I had them order one in the color I wanted and it arrived ok but to this day, I still can't believe that LV store did that. I can only imagine how many other damage items they try to pass to customers. I never shopped there again, I drive an hour to another location when I need something from LV.

    It’s very very different now! No RTV, not much regarding discount with other brands, no contest incentives with actual LV product. Our contests prizes consisted of items from Target 😕.

      Just apply, best time is really around the holidays when they have Part-Time but in certain areas it’s rare that there are openings so you have to constantly keep going to the site to see what’s opened in your desired area. If you have had any retail experience, especially with an designer brand (mines was Coach) make sure that it is listed on your resume with details of what you did. I had and interview with the assistant store manager (I think or he was the store manager, can’t really remember) and he really like me so he offered me a 2nd interview with the (store manager or regional manager, can’t really remember as mentioned but she had a higher position than him) before leaving the store. I know I did well in the 2nd interview, however I was not selected after they finished up with all the interviews. I assumed it had something to do with me not fitting the particular look being sought or perhaps the factor that I worked a full time job already in a completely different field so they did not take me serious. I’m not sure, I may try again though

    If you work for any Tory Burch location they also provide you with sets of uniforms and an additional around the fall/winter time and 2 sets of Tory shoes. You get 2 Tory dresses along with 2 different cardigans. 2 sets of slacks, two blouses and a pair of flats + sneakers. They dry clean for you as well so if anyone who has a Tory near them & are too intimidated by a higher luxury retail store such as LV I would check them out. The pay is great & much better than many stores I know of. I worked in the last couple of years for Coach, MK & Tory def paid the most and had the more organized store. You get up to 70% off outlet locations during the last week of the month and an additional 40% off on top of that. Online you get 50% off anything besides the bags in the high $700-900 range.
    I love LV & if I had time to work there PT I would! Our location is extremely far from where I live but this video was great.💕

    I went to purchase a bag at the LV store at the galleria mall in Dallas Texas. I was totally dismissed because I did not look the part (ethnic) and I looked like I did not have money to spend that day! It was utterly disheartening since I drove 3 hrs. Many shoppers walked in after me and they were helped. I ended up walking out, and have never been back since. I ended up finding a sales associate in Las Vegas, who was able to get me the hard to find reverse pochette Metis. If they only knew, this was not my first LV purchase. Fun fact, my first purchase was in Paris, at the Champs Elysees Avenue.
