Not numbering them leaves me to believe they might be producing more. I wish the pricing was about 1/2 the price, but I guess they have to maintain exclusivity.
I agree I think they are def producing more which I don't really like. I wish it was more of a finite amount. I think they should continue with the bag but just add new colors. And yeah half the price would be better but even starting at 6-7k would have been plenty, but 9K! 😩
@tom_clint Did you find out through your client advisor that they had reopened orders? I am watching and reading everything I can in hopes of being able to order a yellow 25!!!
Got my Red P9 Speedy 40 last weekend and my zone when I ordered only had 9 left when I picked up my order it was down to 4 in my zone. Love it. Buttery soft and I use it every chance I get. It ain’t sitting on a shelf after I bought it at that price
So glad you’re loving the 40! I’m hoping to get the pink 40 and really hoping it’s not too big for me! But you’re totally right it’s too much money not to use it ❤️
I was actually offered one, but decided to opt out due to the price, it is soft leather and vachetta...i live where it rains and dont have a car to go anywhere...so . But i also dont like that the vachetta on the p9 is even getting darker. It is already dark and kind of clash with the cooler colours like tourquise and pink.
Late to the party but wanted to share that each region was given anywhere from 3-10 units of each bag with even less in the 40/50 size range. I’d say 1200-1500 produced seems about right. I do know however that there is said to be a restock in the US and there’s even stock sitting in places like China
I think the prices of the bags are astronomical. A leather speedy! They already make leather speedy and it seems this release is 3 times the cost of a leather speedy. Doesn’t make sense.
Practicality and price (fitting in my budget) are the factors that drive my luxe purchases. I do like buying pieces other don’t gravitate to but wouldn’t call that exclusivity. As for LV strategy, I think it’s best for them to not release any more of those speedys in those particular colors and just do new ones with the same limited quantity… they’ll still be exclusive.
I agree with you, I wish they were numbered and we were told exactly how many were produced. But I think their greed gets in the way so they prefer to milk it and see how many they can sell.
Wall St Journal 's article Luxury Hand-Me-Downs are Now Worth Billions of Dollars published yesterday Jan 12: "Handbags made by Louis Vuitton lose 40% of their value on average when they are resold, according to data from The RealReal. Christian Dior’s bags almost halve in value." Hermes was on the only brand that showed an appreciation on re-sale value. So if you are buying LV for re-sale reasons think again!
I ordered the P9 Speedy 25 in green I went down the preorder route was different to anything else I have ordered from LV I confirmed I wanted it on 30th November and had to wait a week to find out if I would be allowed to order it 😅
I think if you want an item that is exclusive then you need to get it tailor made to what you want, i.e one of a kind. In reality no one thing is exactly made the same however alike they are or look. Just like identical twins are not the same despite looking alike
I don’t like the speedy’s in core colors, nor do I like their monogram canvas. If i had to have one, it would be red. I think they look the best of the lot. However Pharrell’s men’s collection is so good, I bought a couple of items to wear.
There were a lot of pieces I was interested in, even the RTW it was hard to choose and stick to the budget. Luckily pre-fall didn't really have anything I wanted so I can replenish for Fall 😂
@@rachelwentshopping 😂 That’s a win! I love fall clothing. except I live in Australia and our seasons are upside down. 🙃 it’s mid summer here now so I won’t be wearing any fall pieces for months.
I use mine blue 40 every chance I get when I preordered my purple 40 and told my sales associate that she was like " what do you really?" All shocked like most people aren't using them😂😂. I was like well I didn't buy it so it can sit on a shelf 💀💪🏽
Omg great to hear! do you love the size 40? I'm going to try to get the 40 pink, can't wait to see the size in person hoping its not to crazy big on me but I think I'll be fine
1,000 of each size sounds much more realistic because the original numbered “eye need you” “eye miss you” etc bags were numbered and around 1200-1500 of each. That said these cost a fortune I really think they werent sure how they would sell. I agree gifting can be annoying BUT in this case even tho I kept saying influencers, it really was high profile celebrities, and that I don't mind as much its more similar to what they did in the early 2000’s era etc.
@@rachelwentshopping i went for the Ebene canvas instead of the leather bags, the one I really wanted was the orange so I was gutted when it was only for NFT. Oh well I get it was celebrities but it still puts me off, I don’t know why. When any brand gift certain new bags to a lot of influencers that really puts me off & I won’t buy them.
Yeah with tax I paid $9,858 🥹 not cool! It would be way cheaper if I got lucky enough to buy it on a trip to Europe and get a VAT refund, but it seems to limited to do that. I have heard of ppl getting lucky tho.
Yeah that's a good question I really wish they would have shared more specifics about the materials and how they are made to support the price. Colors do give Goyard! Lol
My client advisor told me 1100 the day I bought mine, and when we checked on 1/6 I was told essentially I had the very last one available in the country
Ok at least we are hearing consistent numbers then! Really wish they would have just numbered them lol, but the bag is soooo beautiful! What color/size did you get?
This is all comical to me. Meanwhile, my Calvin Klein and Michael Kors bags blow these out the water! I'm not super broke, but I just can't see myself buying a 12k bag....like, WHY?
Love your videos! Great topic, honestly if it was put out that they produced a limited amount, I would have wished they numbered them, that makes them more exclusive, hence the price point a bit justifiable. I have the Eye Love You in both color ways and they are numbered. People complain about the prices but there will always be someone willing to pay the price. If they had hot pink it would be a frenzy 🤣 everyone would be clambering for it! 🩷 I’d be one of them 😂
I love those speedy leather monogram I saw the blue one and I love it but the price killing me 😅 so I just got the speedy DE 25 pop in yellow bf sold out 💛🤎💛🤎 and I love it

They reopened orders a few weeks ago. I placed my order for the green 40 with a delivery dates of mid June 🥵

I know it's crazy it's really not logical I hear you! But the heart wants what the heart wants 😩

Agree with you! However sometimes practicality goes goes out the window for me 😂
When the price is this high then exclusivity definitely matters.

Oh yes I got mine last week it’s very beautiful absolutely love it 😍😍😍

I understood this was a new leather for this bag and it seems nuts they would put the R&D into this leather and then limit the product line.
I really wish they would share more specifics about the materials to help support the price

i love it but the price I might get carvans as collage student it best for me is surpire that collecation is not sold out on web site happy new year
Yeah the prices are getting out of control. There is definitely still a lot of styles available for sale they definitely upped their inventory!
I thought there was 1000 of each colour of each size
It puts me off how many they gave away to people

Gosh with tax it’s like over $10K 😩 that’s my dream bag! 😢
Yeah with tax I paid $9,858 🥹 not cool! It would be way cheaper if I got lucky enough to buy it on a trip to Europe and get a VAT refund, but it seems to limited to do that. I have heard of ppl getting lucky tho.
Can’t find out where they are sourcing the leather from….better be Italy, with those prices. Reminds me of Goyard color-ways! 🤔
Yeah that's a good question I really wish they would have shared more specifics about the materials and how they are made to support the price. Colors do give Goyard! Lol
Looks like there is a pink one coming in the Fall!!! 🩷💕@@rachelwentshopping

@@rachelwentshopping green monogram 50
My sale associate just told me he has one in green speedy 25 and is the only one in the country
Sales associate lie lol. I doubt it was the last.
VIA bags aren't number
WOW that's surprising! Seems like such a miss, would be a great way to further build the exclusivity of being in the VIA program.
How did you get your af1’s ?
I got lucky and was offered them directly from Louis Vuitton
This is all comical to me. Meanwhile, my Calvin Klein and Michael Kors bags blow these out the water! I'm not super broke, but I just can't see myself buying a 12k bag....like, WHY?
Exclusivity
The prices of these speedy’s though 🥹 they look beautiful but wow lol
I know the prices are torture 😩 having to be very particular about what I buy these days, all brands are tough 😭
Love your videos!

Exactly I was totally thinking about the Eye Love You etc pieces that are numbered it def adds value. Hot pink would be unreal!!! 💕💗
