Preach!!! Yes this launch upset me for several reasons but the root of it is the blatant classism and exclusionary behavior. I wish I would have said that in my video lol. I am definitely rethinking my relationship with the brand and how I want to move forward. Meanwhile Coach, Dooney, and other brands that actually appreciate all classes and income levels of customer will be getting my money. I agree, I'm not begging LV or anyone else to accept my business. Appreciate the mention! Enjoyed the video ❤.
I got so angry watching your video! I was like how dare they have my girl waking up all hours of the night only to play in her face.. smdh. And yours isn’t the only one that I watched. Here I am thinking I’m out of the club because I can’t afford it only to realize that folks who have the money cant get the pieces either. If that doesn’t sound like Hermes…Absolutely ridiculous. if the launch was only for celebs and A list influencers they could have said that. Now I really don’t feel bad about getting that pink P9 replica for free and I’m going to wear it too🤷🏽♀️
@Drelovesbags They really did play in customer's faces!!! It was the VIC spend thresholds for me. 50k and 100k. I was blown away in the comments of my video. Even folks who've spent 50k with the brand were told certain items are out of reach for them. Very much giving Hermès. I'm going to start looking for preloved items. I may still purchase a few new SLGs but that's about it. This experience has really shifted how I will shop with the brand going forward.
It really has become a popularity contest. I graduated high school in 1991 so I’m just not interested in competing for the attention of an anyone, especially not someone I’m trying to spend my hard earned money with. I had to get off the comments on your video because o found myself getting super mad. I had to tell myself girl calm down you ain’t even trying to buy anything, so why are you so mad lol
I hope Coach do their own version - they’ll do a better job anyway, price will be better and so will the quality! Let’s just be patient and stop giving our money to brands who don’t want it.
My problem with them is they campaigned it to the masses. If it was only meant for their most loyal customers then it should’ve been marketed that way 💯
EXACTLY! Mom ambition said the same thing. Why get people all excited for something you know is not going to be available to them? That’s just pissing customers off and making them feel excluded.
And in nyc they have a pop up exclusive to just this launch in the soho. Haven’t checked it out yet but likely available there. Maybe I will pop over to the 5th Ave store and see how available it is later today.
I totally agree. LV is going back to their roots and their target audience. I was always taught to never run after anyone or any company to give them my money. Just like you said go where you are wanted/celebrated. It's a cute collection but I'm not willing to pay those kinds of prices and in my opinion not the best quality. I love your take on it. I'm a social worker as well so I have a budget that no longer affords or truthfully wants LV. Like you said I'm too old for the in-crowd. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for watching! I’ve always been obsessed with handbags and I can’t lie I enjoy the finer things. But I have to be realistic with what I can afford. Plus even if I had it, I’m not about to begging anyone to take my money.
Thank you so much for watching! And congrats on winning the giveaway! Ms P Banks is awesome. And you’re right, Dooney is luxury. And I can’t get much more bang for my buck if I go with them lol
I don’t have a problem with them offering preorders to VVIC/VIC customers first. There should be perks when you have spent that kind of $$$. However, LV should have had a much better handle on inventory & anticipated the demand. Allegedly, there will be more stock available. Hopefully people can get what they want then.
There should absolutely be perks when you spend that kind of money. But the way it was executed just feels classist and exclusionary. It almost feels like they had just enough inventory for the VVIC preorders. By the time the “regular people” get a chance to cop anything, the collab will be “old”. Thx for watching!
Keep it 100 niece you know I never cared for LV but as you know I have several pieces shoes and more, even thought they are probably obsolete i still get compliments when ever I carry my bags or wear my shoes but as you know I had a special perk.
And Im the opposite. Ive always like LV, but it has become less attainable. Im not paying $500 for a card case. Ive sold alot of my LV. I have 4 bags left, and two are listed on eBay
Sometimes preloved is more than retail depending on what it is. I remember when it was really hard to get the pochette Métis and the resale market was brutal
It’s super cute, especially the black iteration. I think it’s better than the original collection to be honest. Too bad there was so much drama around the launch
I feel like LV needed about two years to prepare for this collection..I mean, it's so popular, they needed to have many many many bags available to purchase. I have a great SA that was able to score my dream white murakami bag.. but I need that thing in my hands before I get excited..lol I'm looking forward to the 🍒 collection!! Hopefully that won't be as hard to get! ❤❤❤
Ooh! I bet you can’t wait to get your bag! I’m happy your SA was able to make it happen for you. The cherry collection should be a cakewalk compared to LV😂. Thx for watching!
Well said and FACTS! This isn’t the first time that LV has played in faces and people keep handing them their hard earned money. This launch was exactly that because their target client isn’t buying anything online.
They keep telling us and we won’t listen. We just keeep begging them to take our money. It was easy for me to sit this one out because I can’t afford it. But I got mad just watching other creators sharing their negative experiences with this drop.
I live about 4 hrs from a store so I called and spent about an hr on the phone for them to tell me it’s all out in store and on line, they didn’t even know if they were getting more. The website is all messed up, there isn’t even a notify me when available. Sad, but oh well.
I think LV shoe sizes are European sizes. I’m not in that tax bracket so I haven’t purchased them. But I do have other brands in European sizes. I’m a size 7 and I buy a 37 or a 37.5 just depending. So you could probably go with a 38 or 38.5. I hope that helps
Dre, I love your content. I hope you don't get tired of me saying it. You bring thorough information. You are a true one, and I appreciate your insight and research. This was a fantastic upload!!!❤❤❤
I can never ever ever get tired of compliments 😂. I’m open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism too though lol. But I appreciate you and your continued support. I’m glad you enjoyed this video
Dre, I totally agree with you. I was fine with Dooney and Kate Spade and Michael Kors. In 2022 my husband decided he wanted to buy me an LV bag. I chose the Odeon MM. I fell in love with LV. I went crazy and bought more. New and preloved from fashionphile. Then, I noticed the canvas on my Odeon was rippling on the back. I took it back to the boutique in Orlando, Florida and they pretty much spit in my face. They said it was normal and insinuated that it was because the way I stored it. Really? Like I was gonna abuse the first LV I ever had in my life? And funny, all the ones I bought afterwards and stored the same way are fine? And look what's not on the website anymore... Odeon. I still love LV. I would have loved to have the neverful with the smiley flowers. But if they're gonna act like Hermes, I'm out. I will go back to my roots and add Coach. There are still a few LV pieces I would like to add, but I will buy pre loved because they did not stand behind the Odeon I bought brand new from the boutique so why not by preloved? I'm just thankful that when I carry my Odeon the rippling is against my body where no one can see. Anyway, sore subject I guess. I fo agree with you!
I’m so sorry that happened to you! Shame on LV for not standing behind their product. But I’m glad that didn’t stop you from wearing and enjoying your bag The pre loved market is where I got most of my LV pieces. Thx for watching!
I mean all brands have Vics that get early access to collections (I’m one at Fendi, though my total spend is no where near 60k). I just spent a decent amount of money and the store manager/my sa like me. I dont necessarily object to Vics having preorder access. My core objection is that if you had barely enough stock to make it out of preorders, or fulfill those preorders, why build up hype for it. Why hire zendaya and build up fomo. I managed to score a pair of shoes I wanted, but that was stressful because my online for in store pickup order did not go through properly. I went into the store the next day and luckily they had stock. I didn’t even try for the speedy or a slg. Like the bigger flagship stores had no stock at all after launch.
I think that was everyone’s objection. It was poorly executed. It should never have been announced to the general public when they knew the colllection would selll out in presale.
Also I am going back to my original idea of purchasing quality skins, bags that are beautiful and eye catching by relatively unknown crafters. They need love and exposure too.
So many are saying this. I’m glad I didn’t want anything because my patience is not set up for this type of thing. I couldn’t do it for Skims, Jordan’s, Yeezy’s or anything else. I’ll pass 😂
Agree completely. The whole thing was basically a bait and switch the way they handled it. I only wanted a few minor pieces but now I’m entirely done purchasing any new items from the brand after seeing the whole aftermath.
I’ts a Shane how brands don’t care about alienating customers if they aren’t in a certain demographic. Spend where you are appreciated. Thank you for watching!
It’s crazy how they have people chasing down beautiful but ridiculously overpriced bags and SLGs. And to be honest, I don’t think the all of SAs are always in the loop. It wouldn’t shock me to learn that LV isn’t good with internal communication with the front line workers even though they are the ones who deal with the general public and are asked the questions.
Woww! I tuned in to hear your take and boom name drop! 🥰 I love LV down real bad and I did get the pieces I requested… however some of the pieces (I wouldn’t mind having in my collection btw) I wasn’t willing to pay for. The price range on this drop was steep! Call me “super basic” cause I just included a Coach city tote in my best purchases 😂 Very insightful video! New subscriber! ♥️
Hi Dre! I was on the fence on this collection. I’m going to Japan in the spring so I’m trying not to over spend before that. Even though I bought 2 boutique bags this year and my husband bought me 2 under his profile..sorry not enough to pre order. So, I was online trying and kept getting errors. Which is probably a good thing. I couldn’t even get perfume. Every single thing wasn’t being added to my cart. All this did was make me feel like ok I’m not in “the club” so now I won’t even try anymore. I will shop vintage/pre loved in Tokyo like I did this summer. I’m just as happy with the bags I bought there as I am my boutique bags.
Oooh what bags did your hubby get you??? The collection is absolutely adorable. I liked it 20 years ago and I like it now. Unfortunately for me even though I’m no longer a broke college student, I still don’t earn Louis Vuitton money😩And seeing how hard it is for people who actually have the money to get a piece makes me feel a type of way. If the launch was only going to be for VIPs they could have just said that and saved people a lot of time and stress. Maybe you can grab something in Japan. Thanks for watching!
The boutique bags I bought this year aren’t anything crazy. I bought the multi pochette accessories because I thought it would be good for traveling (it wasn’t) & the speedy 30 flight mode (which I love) and gifts from hubby were the speedy 30 crafty (love) and the monogram cluny mini which I want to try for travel (I like a cross body for sight seeing). But tbh, the bag I love and use the most is a 1993 LV epi leather speedy 25 in Toledo blue that I got in Tokyo on my last day. I had already purchased vintage/pre loved and thought I was finished..until I saw that speedy and with the exchange rate was under $500 USD. I love it. I use it all the time. It’s by far not my most expensive LV but I love it and use it the most. - also I sold 13 bags this year which was a factor in what/how much I purchased.
I probably sold about 8 or 9 bags this year and have about 8 more I need to get rid of. No high priced items though. Mostly Dooney and one LV. One of the bags I sold earlier this year was my EP speedy 25 in black. I got it pre-loved on eBay for about $400. I’ve always wanted one, but when I got it, I never reached for it. I think I was in love with the concept of the bag. In hindsight, I think for me, the Epi speedy was just too boxy. I kind of like the slouch of the canvas and other leather speedys . You say you didn’t get anything crazy but every thing you mentioned is 🔥🔥🔥. You really had me at multi. I’m a sucker for anything in multi. It’s just so freaking cute to me. And the speedy crafty is chefs kiss. Just with a few bags you named on this post I can tell you have an awesome collection.
@@Drelovesbags pain in the neck as it is I will be selling more of as well. I think 2 LV and Some Coach and Dooneys. I love my LV collection but some bags you see on the website or even try for a minute in boutique just don’t work in real life …but are so pretty to look at I just can’t part with them
I agree with you! I never knew this new multicolor launch existed until the VIC’s I follow on TH-cam were unboxing them! Then I go to the website hopefully to no avail. I’ll stick to buying my high quality Coach bags and Tory Burch bags. I have too many! lol😂. I see that Coach Mint &Serf bandit in the background! I have that bag too and love it!
That Mint serf bandit is a forever bag! I absolutely love it. I get mad sometimes when I can’t afford certain “luxury “ items then I look at my rogues and bandits and think how expensive those bags would be if LV or another luxury brand made them. I remind myself it’s just the name we’re paying for, and many of my contemporary pieces are actually better quality
@@Drelovesbags Mine is going to be in my collection forever as well! Coach's leather and high quality bags would be thousands of dollars under the luxury brand names. You're right, we are just paying for the name. Some of those luxury brand bags are just meh to me. I don't get as excited about them as I do my Coach bags. Plus the price of LV is so astronomical I get hives!
I know right! Everything is so expensive! I can’t pretend I don’t like this collection though. It’s so freaking cute. My gripe is really with the launch and not the cute albeit overpriced collab.
It’s adorable! I hear some creators say they like it but think it’s too youthful or juvenile for them at this point in their lives. But I’m 51 and if I could afford it and had access I would wear it proudly. I would maybe just wear a monochromatic outfit so the bag would be my pop of color. But I don’t put an age on fashion. And let’s be honest how many people in their early 20s who didn’t grow up rich can afford Louis Vuitton?
I wanted an slg, from the collection, but that didn’t happen. LV dropped the ball on this launch. Price increases will continue across all of the luxury brands. Thank you for the commentary. 🙂
My card went through and I’m not VIC. I do get regular lookbooks sent to me but I just may have a good spend at about $20k last year. Sorry you’re having trouble 😢
Facts! I've been buying pre loved cause no ma'am. I refuse to pay these prices and found some great pieces. I actually prefer vintage due to the level of patina I personally like. I only liked the Judy and Rita from the Murakami line anyway. They're both old so win win lol. Dooney and Coach have been great to me these last few years and I went back to MCM in 2021. They also have some decent prices. I like those old school (monogram) as well.
Right! Since when is Dooney and Coach not good enough? All we’re really paying for is the name anyway. I can get 10 leather bags from Dooney for the price of 1 canvas LV
Great information. I love Louis Vuitton never full totes. I’ve been trying to find a nice pre loved never full with no luck. Might have to break down and purchase a new. Lots of even working people unfortunately can’t afford these purses. I’ve been purchasing coach and Marc Jacobs bags lately. Does anyone know sire that I can follow to buy a used never full. Again great video great information
Yeah when I got my neverfull in 2017 they were only $1260. It’s almost double now. But I would think eBay,avd fashionphile would have the most to choose from. Be careful on the preloved market and download my free ebook for tips on how to shop preloved. Thx for watching!
Hi Dre! I use to want a LV bag, but I just couldn't ever justify spending that kind of money for a handbag. Eventually I got over the desire and I just stick to what works for me. I love Coach and have gotten back into Dooney a little. Last year I finally purchased the MCM shopper tote I saw on so many channels and guess what, I have never carried it. It has a chemical smell that still hasn't gone away. P.S. I wanted to share thiscwith you because we had several conversations about it in the chat. I originally had my breast reduction in August 2023, but had complications with one side healing. I finally had my scar revision surgery a week before Christmas and I am doing so good at just under 3 weeks post op. So glad to have the surgery part behind me and ready to get back to doing the things that bring me joy and focusing in on getting the rest of my body right! BTW...I've been wanting that Valentino Born in Roma and I just might try the fragrance dupe you suggested. Hope you have an amazing day.❤
OMG I’m so glad you decided to go through with the surgery. It’s one of the best decisions ever. I had complications on one side also. Me left breast was larger so they removed more tissue from that side. So that one took longer to heal and it got infected once. But once the infection cleared it healed perfectly. How did the scar revision go? I don’t know why your MCM had a chemical smell… weird. But LV has been out of my league. Thx for watching!
@Drelovesbags I am really doing amazing and better much sooner than expected since my scar revision surgery on December 16th. I wasn't even that nervous this time around because I was so ready to get through it. I can't wait to get back to my ballroom dance class in February!
Louie who LOL 🤣🤣🤣?? It ain't that serious for me to drop 3G's or more especially when Louie is faking it for the mere peasants LOL. Nah I'll stick to real quality bags, where me the customer is always appreciated for my patronage. Now I ain't saying I don't have a very expensive super fake mirror quality Speedy and Favorite either 🤣🤣🤫 Good video Dre!
I love the look of the collection but am not willing to spend that much so I will admire from afar. I would also love a Rosalie card case someday if I’m feeling like a splurge. It’s my daughters name so it would be fun to pass it along to her. See how I’m justifying it? 😬
No judgement here😂. I can’t tell you how many purchases I’ve justified. The collection is super cute. I literally want everything and can afford nothing 😂. So Dooney and Coach here I come lol. But you should so get the card case since it’s named after your daughter 🤷🏽♀️
❤ Thanks for sharing your views on this LV launch! I used to watch LV Marquita but the excessive LV hauls $20,000, 30,000, $40,000 are not my speed! I no longer watch that channel! I refuse to chase down and company or item to spend my money 💵 😊
Great vid. Totally agree. Additionally I’m not sure how Lux LV is quite frankly. These lux brands are turning into luxury fast fashion. LV has over 6,OOO boutiques world wide vs Zara who has over 2,OOO. How can they keep these stores stocked with their products?…Mass manufacturing thats how. If you think they are making these bags in France and Italy…think again. They have a small plant 3O minutes from where I live in the LA burbs that makes the speedy, plus they have a large new plant in TX and I am sure they have them in Asia as well as that is their number one market. I’d say buy prelove and vintage LV. My old LV from 2OO6 has better and thicker canvas than my new ones. My two cents…don’t get the FOMO over this drop or any new drops they have…the FOMO is real just buy what you like and don’t go broke…real, fake, or dupe. Whatever floats your boat do it! My two cents!
I’m right with you! I like LV but I know the markup on those pieces is outrageous just like all the other “luxury “ brands. I don’t know how “premium” their leathers or hardware really is in comparison to the Dooney and Coach bags I own. The only time I notice a real difference in quality is with the vintage pieces like you said. I don’t care there is nothing like vintage brass LV hardware. It’s the best and I have an old speedy that my grandmother gave me and I compare the canvas on it to my speedy that was made in 2006 and there is definitely a difference in the quality and thickness of the canvas. And all of my LV bags are made in America except for my vintage epi petit noe so I know exactly what you mean. I couldn’t get FOMO if I wanted to because I can’t afford LV unless it’s vintage. But I know it doesn’t cost anywhere near 1500 to make a speedy 30. I wouldn’t be suprised if the materials cost somewhere in the $100 range. Thx for watching!
You make a valid point. I have had an affinity for LV since I was a teen. It has turned into "luxury fast fashion." And I think a few pieces from this collection are absolutely gorgeous. But $6,800 for a handbag? Before taxes... That probably cost a couple hundred dollars at most to make? Nah. The FOMO is real, but I will get over it.
Love the video. I think it’s time for Louis and I to break up unless it’s pre-loved lol. Even then it just might not be worth the money anymore. Seems every company’s quality is decreasing while their prices increase.
Thank you for watching! I broke up with LV last year. I would go broke trying to keep up. I’m barely keeping up with Dooney and Coach at this long point 🤷🏽♀️😂
Totally agree. Then the masses should stop buying their products. Make them lose $$. A lot of these brands are now basically copying each other's bags. Why pay $2,500 for a purse when Coach or similar have the same looking one? Take a vacation with the $$ saved. At some point they will either be sold or given to your kids because you can't take them with you when you die. A few nice pieces are great but a $20-30k collection is a bit much. To each their own though.
This is rediculous. Especially when so many regular people are struggling to do the basics like buying a home or repay college loans. Yes, we all need fun and fashion in our lives too, but why would any of us support a company that acts this way? I'll stick with my D&B 👜 handbags, and still be able to pay for my trip to Paris! You can bet I won't be lugging any LV around Europe!
Exactly! And luxury fashion is for the rich. They keep trying to remind us but we aren’t getting the memo. So when price increases don’t work they start limiting access
I’m okay and content without this I cherish the few lv pieces that I do have and if they don’t want my Money I’m surely not going to beg them to take it
You're not wrong. I think it's all part of their game. People are asking 'why hype people up if you're not going to sell to them?' I think: because that's what they want to do. People not being able to have it, just makes them want it more. And if they do a second wave, people will still be scrambling to get that, maybe even more desperate than they were on the drop of the first day. And, if not everyone who wants one and has the money can get it, that's still good too (for them). That keeps their resell prices high so people feel like LV is a good "investment" and again, people want what they can't have. This collection, and LV in general, is not for me. I have one LV bag, I'm good. As with the phrase you used, let me stay out of rich people's business ...
I have 4 LV bags and I’m trying to sell 2 of them. Anything that’s not vintage LV is too rich for me at this point. Last time I could afford to purchase a bag from the boutique was 2017 and honestly, I couldn’t afford it then lol. Thx for watching!
This launch was a disaster and complete fail for us in the US and Canada. In Australia for example it was much more of a success. Their website provided a go live time, neither of ours did; they could actually purchase popular items, we could not; and the last time I checked several hours ago they still had bags available for purchase, whereas, we never did. I’m pretty sure the Asian market was the same. They also had pre-orders. I don’t really understand why the stark contrast for the same products but in different regions is because they were allocated more stock and/or they have better customer protection laws that do not allow businesses to market products that they do not have inventory on. Needless to say this will be my last launch experience with LV and my journey with them has ended before it had a chance to begin. J.
I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience. It’s really a shame when people who have the money to spend can’t get the pieces they want. I know people who had 4 or 5 items on their wishlist and couldn’t get not one. And they were on the site as soon as it went live. I work hard for my little change. The whole concept of having to do more work just to get the bag doesn’t sit right with me at all. Hopefully you’ll eventually get a piece- maybe they’ll restock later on? Thx for watching
@ They will restock. I highly doubt this will be a one and done campaign. My issue is that they knew they had stock issues so they should have staggered the launch within their various regions. Just be transparent. Initially there were 4 items I wanted but now only two. I’m going to be a much more selective LV client purchasing just special unique items when available and when I can and looking at more designer brands than just LV. I’m no longer drinking the LV koolaid. J.
@@Drelovesbags Maybe but it failed. The demand was already there. People do have short memories so the masses may forgive and forget when they restock; I for one will not. If they don’t feel I’m worthy of this launch then they are not worthy of the money I was planning on spending. To a certain extent I’m kind of glad it happened as it gave me an opportunity to see how they handle their business which is mos def not about the luxury customer experience. I wasted time but kept my coins. Lesson learned. J.
You’re right. I wasn’t trying to get anything, but I’ve been watching videos for weeks leading up to the launch and after. And the way it was executed didn’t sit right with a lot of customers.
Why would you say it's a disaster? I have seen tons of videos where people are very happy with the new drop. I totally love my items. Marquita is not a very reliable source. She no longer buys bags or anything and therefore only gripes and complains because she can't afford it anymore.
Im glad YOU were able to get what you wanted . It’s a disaster because so many others did not have that experience. It’s more about the launch than the products themselves. The only thing I took from Marquita were the pre release dates. Everything else was the experience of other people . If you watched the beginning of the video I say myself how cute the collection is. The issue was price and availability. And I don’t pocket watch so what another creator can or can’t afford is none of my business. Shit I can’t afford it either and never could🤷🏽♀️😂This was just my take. You don’t have to agree
@@Drelovesbags Marquita gets info and pics from other creators without giving them credit. Passes the information as if she has an inside contact. Every video of hers for the last year is complaining about LV. She doesn't even buy the brand anymore. It is misinformation to call the launch a disaster without having a first hand experience. IJS
As I stated earlier my calling it a disaster had nothing to do with Marquita. I watched numerous videos from other creators who were very pissed about the rolll out. You need to work for LV the way you’re going so hard for them right now
I think you're missing the point of this video entirely, but a bigger issue is why you feel the need to come on another content creators channel talking about Marquita's financial situation. I don't watch her closely but it is very clear that she has reached a point where she is no longer actively growing her collection. Her ability to afford whatever she's chooses to buy is not for any of us to worry about. Also what you are perceiving as complaints and gripes about the brand is actually insight, which she should have based on her extensive collection. I hope you enjoy your new items from the collection!
⏰⏲⏰I hope this is an awake up call for most, this does not upset me, because I have no problem walking away from a party I am not invited to, their loss. Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger have done the same thing, but they verbally said who they wanted buying their merchandise, and people still 'drank the kool-aid'. Companies are selective of their clientele, so the clientele should be selective of the companies they purchase from. Good talk😎
Hey Queens,

There is a song, "I Dont Want Nobody that Dont Want Me" and that goes for designers as well.
Now THAT is a word ! And it’s on point.
Preach!!! Yes this launch upset me for several reasons but the root of it is the blatant classism and exclusionary behavior. I wish I would have said that in my video lol. I am definitely rethinking my relationship with the brand and how I want to move forward. Meanwhile Coach, Dooney, and other brands that actually appreciate all classes and income levels of customer will be getting my money. I agree, I'm not begging LV or anyone else to accept my business. Appreciate the mention! Enjoyed the video ❤.
I got so angry watching your video! I was like how dare they have my girl waking up all hours of the night only to play in her face.. smdh. And yours isn’t the only one that I watched. Here I am thinking I’m out of the club because I can’t afford it only to realize that folks who have the money cant get the pieces either. If that doesn’t sound like Hermes…Absolutely ridiculous. if the launch was only for celebs and A list influencers they could have said that. Now I really don’t feel bad about getting that pink P9 replica for free and I’m going to wear it too🤷🏽♀️
@Drelovesbags They really did play in customer's faces!!! It was the VIC spend thresholds for me. 50k and 100k. I was blown away in the comments of my video. Even folks who've spent 50k with the brand were told certain items are out of reach for them. Very much giving Hermès. I'm going to start looking for preloved items. I may still purchase a few new SLGs but that's about it. This experience has really shifted how I will shop with the brand going forward.
It really has become a popularity contest. I graduated high school in 1991 so I’m just not interested in competing for the attention of an anyone, especially not someone I’m trying to spend my hard earned money with. I had to get off the comments on your video because o found myself getting super mad. I had to tell myself girl calm down you ain’t even trying to buy anything, so why are you so mad lol
I hope Coach do their own version - they’ll do a better job anyway, price will be better and so will the quality! Let’s just be patient and stop giving our money to brands who don’t want it.
@@DrelovesbagsYes!!!!!! I did this for a DA NF! And honestly IF I buy another one, will probably be vintage or some sort of resale.
My problem with them is they campaigned it to the masses. If it was only meant for their most loyal customers then it should’ve been marketed that way 💯
EXACTLY! Mom ambition said the same thing. Why get people all excited for something you know is not going to be available to them? That’s just pissing customers off and making them feel excluded.
They have these bags at Bloomingdales. Saw them 2 days ago. Anyone can buy them in store if they want.
And in nyc they have a pop up exclusive to just this launch in the soho. Haven’t checked it out yet but likely available there. Maybe I will pop over to the 5th Ave store and see how available it is later today.
Pretty bags but I am not dropping big bucks on this stuff. I shopped in my closet recently and saw lots of bags I like and haven’t used in a while.
Does Bloomingdale’s have them on their site?
I totally agree. LV is going back to their roots and their target audience. I was always taught to never run after anyone or any company to give them my money. Just like you said go where you are wanted/celebrated. It's a cute collection but I'm not willing to pay those kinds of prices and in my opinion not the best quality. I love your take on it. I'm a social worker as well so I have a budget that no longer affords or truthfully wants LV. Like you said I'm too old for the in-crowd. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for watching! I’ve always been obsessed with handbags and I can’t lie I enjoy the finer things. But I have to be realistic with what I can afford. Plus even if I had it, I’m not about to begging anyone to take my money.
❤💯👏🏽
I love that you said it like it is. Luxury for me is a Dooney & Bourke bag. TFS 🥰
Thank you so much for watching! And congrats on winning the giveaway! Ms P Banks is awesome. And you’re right, Dooney is luxury. And I can’t get much more bang for my buck if I go with them lol
Same here Dooney, Coach, MK and Kate Spade. I see a lot of people expressing how hurt they are I am surprised.
@@DrelovesbagsThank you! ❤️
I don’t have a problem with them offering preorders to VVIC/VIC customers first. There should be perks when you have spent that kind of $$$. However, LV should have had a much better handle on inventory & anticipated the demand. Allegedly, there will be more stock available. Hopefully people can get what they want then.
There should absolutely be perks when you spend that kind of money. But the way it was executed just feels classist and exclusionary. It almost feels like they had just enough inventory for the VVIC preorders. By the time the “regular people” get a chance to cop anything, the collab will be “old”. Thx for watching!
Keep it 100 niece you know I never cared for LV but as you know I have several pieces shoes and more, even thought they are probably obsolete i still get compliments when ever I carry my bags or wear my shoes but as you know I had a special perk.
And Im the opposite. Ive always like LV, but it has become less attainable. Im not paying $500 for a card case. Ive sold alot of my LV. I have 4 bags left, and two are listed on eBay
Yep! Prices on pre-loved have gone up, too.
Sometimes preloved is more than retail depending on what it is. I remember when it was really hard to get the pochette Métis and the resale market was brutal
Hi Dre 😊 I was in LV Saturday and I totally forgot about this collection. I'll be going back Friday. I might check it out.
It’s super cute, especially the black iteration. I think it’s better than the original collection to be honest. Too bad there was so much drama around the launch
I feel like LV needed about two years to prepare for this collection..I mean, it's so popular, they needed to have many many many bags available to purchase.
I have a great SA that was able to score my dream white murakami bag.. but I need that thing in my hands before I get excited..lol
I'm looking forward to the 🍒 collection!! Hopefully that won't be as hard to get! ❤❤❤
Ooh! I bet you can’t wait to get your bag! I’m happy your SA was able to make it happen for you. The cherry collection should be a cakewalk compared to LV😂. Thx for watching!
Well said and FACTS! This isn’t the first time that LV has played in faces and people keep handing them their hard earned money. This launch was exactly that because their target client isn’t buying anything online.
They keep telling us and we won’t listen. We just keeep begging them to take our money. It was easy for me to sit this one out because I can’t afford it. But I got mad just watching other creators sharing their negative experiences with this drop.
I live about 4 hrs from a store so I called and spent about an hr on the phone for them to tell me it’s all out in store and on line, they didn’t even know if they were getting more. The website is all messed up, there isn’t even a notify me when available. Sad, but oh well.
That is so frustrating! This is the one time I can say I’m actually glad I can’t afford it. I really don’t need the stress right now lol.
IF I'M A SIZE US 8 IN WOMEN'S SHOES, WHAT SIZE WOULD I BE IN LV SHOES??
I think LV shoe sizes are European sizes. I’m not in that tax bracket so I haven’t purchased them. But I do have other brands in European sizes. I’m a size 7 and I buy a 37 or a 37.5 just depending. So you could probably go with a 38 or 38.5. I hope that helps
Amen, i have fomo for the lv but tbey have priced me out, and dooney still likes me so i guess i needed to hear this
Yeah I’ve been priced out. I know my lane and I stay in it. Thx for watching!
I’m currently a VIC and I was able to order months in advance
Wow! What did you get?
Dre, I love your content. I hope you don't get tired of me saying it. You bring thorough information. You are a true one, and I appreciate your insight and research. This was a fantastic upload!!!❤❤❤
I can never ever ever get tired of compliments 😂. I’m open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism too though lol. But I appreciate you and your continued support. I’m glad you enjoyed this video
Dre, I totally agree with you. I was fine with Dooney and Kate Spade and Michael Kors. In 2022 my husband decided he wanted to buy me an LV bag. I chose the Odeon MM. I fell in love with LV. I went crazy and bought more. New and preloved from fashionphile. Then, I noticed the canvas on my Odeon was rippling on the back. I took it back to the boutique in Orlando, Florida and they pretty much spit in my face. They said it was normal and insinuated that it was because the way I stored it. Really? Like I was gonna abuse the first LV I ever had in my life? And funny, all the ones I bought afterwards and stored the same way are fine? And look what's not on the website anymore... Odeon. I still love LV. I would have loved to have the neverful with the smiley flowers. But if they're gonna act like Hermes, I'm out. I will go back to my roots and add Coach. There are still a few LV pieces I would like to add, but I will buy pre loved because they did not stand behind the Odeon I bought brand new from the boutique so why not by preloved? I'm just thankful that when I carry my Odeon the rippling is against my body where no one can see. Anyway, sore subject I guess. I fo agree with you!
I’m so sorry that happened to you! Shame on LV for not standing behind their product. But I’m glad that didn’t stop you from wearing and enjoying your bag The pre loved market is where I got most of my LV pieces. Thx for watching!
I mean all brands have Vics that get early access to collections (I’m one at Fendi, though my total spend is no where near 60k). I just spent a decent amount of money and the store manager/my sa like me. I dont necessarily object to Vics having preorder access.
My core objection is that if you had barely enough stock to make it out of preorders, or fulfill those preorders, why build up hype for it. Why hire zendaya and build up fomo.
I managed to score a pair of shoes I wanted, but that was stressful because my online for in store pickup order did not go through properly. I went into the store the next day and luckily they had stock. I didn’t even try for the speedy or a slg. Like the bigger flagship stores had no stock at all after launch.
I think that was everyone’s objection. It was poorly executed. It should never have been announced to the general public when they knew the colllection would selll out in presale.
Also I am going back to my original idea of purchasing quality skins, bags that are beautiful and eye catching by relatively unknown crafters. They need love and exposure too.
Yes! That’s what I’m talking about. Supporting unknown crafters and brands.
So many are saying this. I’m glad I didn’t want anything because my patience is not set up for this type of thing. I couldn’t do it for Skims, Jordan’s, Yeezy’s or anything else. I’ll pass 😂
😂😂😂 right. Like why are we begging these people to take our money
You are right
Thank you for watching!
I will for sure take out my replica from 20 years ago to rock it today----back on that days I only paid 40 dlls and it is very very a beuty
I don’t blame you! Everyone should wear what brings them joy. I bet she’s a cutie 🥰
I agree with everything you said sis! This was so on point! 👏🏾👏🏾 I have a few things to say about LV as well & I love my neverfull too! ✨
Thank you so much for watching!
I love my neverfulls! ❤ I do agree that the prices are outrageous though.
I got my Neverfull in 2017. They were $1260 then. It doesnt feel like my money has kept up with the price increases. Thx for watching!
Agree completely. The whole thing was basically a bait and switch the way they handled it. I only wanted a few minor pieces but now I’m entirely done purchasing any new items from the brand after seeing the whole aftermath.
I’ts a Shane how brands don’t care about alienating customers if they aren’t in a certain demographic. Spend where you are appreciated. Thank you for watching!
I asked several SAs about pre-ordering and never got the same response. It was a mess to say the least. 🙄
It’s crazy how they have people chasing down beautiful but ridiculously overpriced bags and SLGs. And to be honest, I don’t think the all of SAs are always in the loop. It wouldn’t shock me to learn that LV isn’t good with internal communication with the front line workers even though they are the ones who deal with the general public and are asked the questions.
so true
Thank you for watching!
Woww! I tuned in to hear your take and boom name drop! 🥰 I love LV down real bad and I did get the pieces I requested… however some of the pieces (I wouldn’t mind having in my collection btw) I wasn’t willing to pay for. The price range on this drop was steep! Call me “super basic” cause I just included a Coach city tote in my best purchases 😂 Very insightful video! New subscriber! ♥️
OMG I can’t believe you even came across this video. I love your channel!! Thank you so much for watching!
8:06... ditto 💯
🤷🏽♀️😂
Totally agree with all of your points. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching!
Buy the Tyler collab was readily available. Girl thanks for the video. I will be saving my coins.
Thank you for watching!
I love Fendi and MCM, those are my go to. I literally only wanted 4 LVs. Once I get a bumbag I good on them.
Which bumbag do you want?
You are so right. Great video!
Thank you for watching!
Hi Dre! I was on the fence on this collection. I’m going to Japan in the spring so I’m trying not to over spend before that. Even though I bought 2 boutique bags this year and my husband bought me 2 under his profile..sorry not enough to pre order. So, I was online trying and kept getting errors. Which is probably a good thing. I couldn’t even get perfume. Every single thing wasn’t being added to my cart. All this did was make me feel like ok I’m not in “the club” so now I won’t even try anymore. I will shop vintage/pre loved in Tokyo like I did this summer. I’m just as happy with the bags I bought there as I am my boutique bags.
Oooh what bags did your hubby get you??? The collection is absolutely adorable. I liked it 20 years ago and I like it now. Unfortunately for me even though I’m no longer a broke college student, I still don’t earn Louis Vuitton money😩And seeing how hard it is for people who actually have the money to get a piece makes me feel a type of way. If the launch was only going to be for VIPs they could have just said that and saved people a lot of time and stress. Maybe you can grab something in Japan. Thanks for watching!
The boutique bags I bought this year aren’t anything crazy. I bought the multi pochette accessories because I thought it would be good for traveling (it wasn’t) & the speedy 30 flight mode (which I love) and gifts from hubby were the speedy 30 crafty (love) and the monogram cluny mini which I want to try for travel (I like a cross body for sight seeing). But tbh, the bag I love and use the most is a 1993 LV epi leather speedy 25 in Toledo blue that I got in Tokyo on my last day. I had already purchased vintage/pre loved and thought I was finished..until I saw that speedy and with the exchange rate was under $500 USD. I love it. I use it all the time. It’s by far not my most expensive LV but I love it and use it the most.
- also I sold 13 bags this year which was a factor in what/how much I purchased.
I probably sold about 8 or 9 bags this year and have about 8 more I need to get rid of. No high priced items though. Mostly Dooney and one LV. One of the bags I sold earlier this year was my EP speedy 25 in black. I got it pre-loved on eBay for about $400. I’ve always wanted one, but when I got it, I never reached for it. I think I was in love with the concept of the bag. In hindsight, I think for me, the Epi speedy was just too boxy. I kind of like the slouch of the canvas and other leather speedys . You say you didn’t get anything crazy but every thing you mentioned is 🔥🔥🔥. You really had me at multi. I’m a sucker for anything in multi. It’s just so freaking cute to me. And the speedy crafty is chefs kiss. Just with a few bags you named on this post I can tell you have an awesome collection.
@@Drelovesbags pain in the neck as it is I will be selling more of as well. I think 2 LV and Some Coach and Dooneys. I love my LV collection but some bags you see on the website or even try for a minute in boutique just don’t work in real life …but are so pretty to look at I just can’t part with them
@ I have one or two that don’t work for me but I still don’t want to let them go because they’re so pretty so I understand
happy New year it is what is even coach and coach out get overprice
Facts!
I agree with you! I never knew this new multicolor launch existed until the VIC’s I follow on TH-cam were unboxing them! Then I go to the website hopefully to no avail. I’ll stick to buying my high quality Coach bags and Tory Burch bags. I have too many! lol😂. I see that Coach Mint &Serf bandit in the background! I have that bag too and love it!
That Mint serf bandit is a forever bag! I absolutely love it. I get mad sometimes when I can’t afford certain “luxury “ items then I look at my rogues and bandits and think how expensive those bags would be if LV or another luxury brand made them. I remind myself it’s just the name we’re paying for, and many of my contemporary pieces are actually better quality
@@Drelovesbags Mine is going to be in my collection forever as well! Coach's leather and high quality bags would be thousands of dollars under the luxury brand names. You're right, we are just paying for the name. Some of those luxury brand bags are just meh to me. I don't get as excited about them as I do my Coach bags. Plus the price of LV is so astronomical I get hives!
I know right! Everything is so expensive! I can’t pretend I don’t like this collection though. It’s so freaking cute. My gripe is really with the launch and not the cute albeit overpriced collab.
@@Drelovesbags I'm in love with the new Murakami collection! I've been stalking the website for the alma bb!
It’s adorable! I hear some creators say they like it but think it’s too youthful or juvenile for them at this point in their lives. But I’m 51 and if I could afford it and had access I would wear it proudly. I would maybe just wear a monochromatic outfit so the bag would be my pop of color. But I don’t put an age on fashion. And let’s be honest how many people in their early 20s who didn’t grow up rich can afford Louis Vuitton?
Wow, I still have my two bags and wallet from the very first collection, and they are better quality bags. I'm so glad I didn't sell them. ❤
I’m glad you didn’t either! The originals are always better. Thanks for watching!
I wanted an slg, from the collection, but that didn’t happen. LV dropped the ball on this launch. Price increases will continue across all of the luxury brands. Thank you for the commentary. 🙂
Yep. Price increases are the norm. No way to get around it. But to have the money and still not be able to get anything is crazy
Yes, I’m waiting for the replicas and not sorry
😂😂😂. No judgement here sis
My card went through and I’m not VIC. I do get regular lookbooks sent to me but I just may have a good spend at about $20k last year. Sorry you’re having trouble 😢
I didn't try to buy anything, but I noticed alot of others were having issues. Thx for watching!
Loved your take. I'll stick with Dooney, Rebecca, Patricia, Kurt & Coach. They appreciate my money.
Thank you so much for watching! I’m too poor for LV 🤷🏽♀️😂
Facts! I've been buying pre loved cause no ma'am. I refuse to pay these prices and found some great pieces. I actually prefer vintage due to the level of patina I personally like. I only liked the Judy and Rita from the Murakami line anyway. They're both old so win win lol. Dooney and Coach have been great to me these last few years and I went back to MCM in 2021. They also have some decent prices. I like those old school (monogram) as well.
Right! Since when is Dooney and Coach not good enough? All we’re really paying for is the name anyway. I can get 10 leather bags from Dooney for the price of 1 canvas LV
Great information. I love Louis Vuitton never full totes. I’ve been trying to find a nice pre loved never full with no luck. Might have to break down and purchase a new. Lots of even working people unfortunately can’t afford these purses. I’ve been purchasing coach and Marc Jacobs bags lately. Does anyone know sire that I can follow to buy a used never full. Again great video great information
Yeah when I got my neverfull in 2017 they were only $1260. It’s almost double now. But I would think eBay,avd fashionphile would have the most to choose from. Be careful on the preloved market and download my free ebook for tips on how to shop preloved. Thx for watching!
Hi Dre! I use to want a LV bag, but I just couldn't ever justify spending that kind of money for a handbag. Eventually I got over the desire and I just stick to what works for me. I love Coach and have gotten back into Dooney a little. Last year I finally purchased the MCM shopper tote I saw on so many channels and guess what, I have never carried it. It has a chemical smell that still hasn't gone away.
P.S. I wanted to share thiscwith you because we had several conversations about it in the chat. I originally had my breast reduction in August 2023, but had complications with one side healing. I finally had my scar revision surgery a week before Christmas and I am doing so good at just under 3 weeks post op. So glad to have the surgery part behind me and ready to get back to doing the things that bring me joy and focusing in on getting the rest of my body right!
BTW...I've been wanting that Valentino Born in Roma and I just might try the fragrance dupe you suggested. Hope you have an amazing day.❤
OMG I’m so glad you decided to go through with the surgery. It’s one of the best decisions ever. I had complications on one side also. Me left breast was larger so they removed more tissue from that side. So that one took longer to heal and it got infected once. But once the infection cleared it healed perfectly. How did the scar revision go? I don’t know why your MCM had a chemical smell… weird. But LV has been out of my league. Thx for watching!
@Drelovesbags I am really doing amazing and better much sooner than expected since my scar revision surgery on December 16th. I wasn't even that nervous this time around because I was so ready to get through it. I can't wait to get back to my ballroom dance class in February!
@ your surgery was on my birthday 🥰. I’m so glad you’re doing well. Enjoy your new body
That is so true. I’m not chasing after any-botty 😂. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Thanks for watching!
Louie who LOL 🤣🤣🤣?? It ain't that serious for me to drop 3G's or more especially when Louie is faking it for the mere peasants LOL. Nah I'll stick to real quality bags, where me the customer is always appreciated for my patronage. Now I ain't saying I don't have a very expensive super fake mirror quality Speedy and Favorite either 🤣🤣🤫 Good video Dre!
😂😂😂. Thx for watching!
I love the look of the collection but am not willing to spend that much so I will admire from afar. I would also love a Rosalie card case someday if I’m feeling like a splurge. It’s my daughters name so it would be fun to pass it along to her. See how I’m justifying it? 😬
No judgement here😂. I can’t tell you how many purchases I’ve justified. The collection is super cute. I literally want everything and can afford nothing 😂. So Dooney and Coach here I come lol. But you should so get the card case since it’s named after your daughter 🤷🏽♀️
I love this message
Thank you for watching!
❤ Thanks for sharing your views on this LV launch! I used to watch LV Marquita but the excessive LV hauls $20,000, 30,000, $40,000 are not my speed! I no longer watch that channel! I refuse to chase down and company or item to spend my money 💵 😊
Thank you so much for watching! I’m in a totally different tax bracket so chasing them down isn’t even an option. But I wouldn’t it I could.
Great vid. Totally agree. Additionally I’m not sure how Lux LV is quite frankly. These lux brands are turning into luxury fast fashion. LV has over 6,OOO boutiques world wide vs Zara who has over 2,OOO. How can they keep these stores stocked with their products?…Mass manufacturing thats how. If you think they are making these bags in France and Italy…think again. They have a small plant 3O minutes from where I live in the LA burbs that makes the speedy, plus they have a large new plant in TX and I am sure they have them in Asia as well as that is their number one market. I’d say buy prelove and vintage LV. My old LV from 2OO6 has better and thicker canvas than my new ones. My two cents…don’t get the FOMO over this drop or any new drops they have…the FOMO is real just buy what you like and don’t go broke…real, fake, or dupe. Whatever floats your boat do it! My two cents!
I’m right with you! I like LV but I know the markup on those pieces is outrageous just like all the other “luxury “ brands. I don’t know how “premium” their leathers or hardware really is in comparison to the Dooney and Coach bags I own. The only time I notice a real difference in quality is with the vintage pieces like you said. I don’t care there is nothing like vintage brass LV hardware. It’s the best and I have an old speedy that my grandmother gave me and I compare the canvas on it to my speedy that was made in 2006 and there is definitely a difference in the quality and thickness of the canvas. And all of my LV bags are made in America except for my vintage epi petit noe so I know exactly what you mean. I couldn’t get FOMO if I wanted to because I can’t afford LV unless it’s vintage. But I know it doesn’t cost anywhere near 1500 to make a speedy 30. I wouldn’t be suprised if the materials cost somewhere in the $100 range. Thx for watching!
You make a valid point. I have had an affinity for LV since I was a teen. It has turned into "luxury fast fashion." And I think a few pieces from this collection are absolutely gorgeous. But $6,800 for a handbag? Before taxes... That probably cost a couple hundred dollars at most to make? Nah. The FOMO is real, but I will get over it.
Exactly! I like LV and always have but they’re too rich for my blood. Thx for watching!
Lol. I thought it was very cute. A lot of variety. But, I wasn't looking to buy anything 😂
Its super cute!
Basically, they are saying we don’t want the general publics business. We cater to celebrities and elites we consider important.😂
EXACTLY 😂
💯💯💯
Love the video. I think it’s time for Louis and I to break up unless it’s pre-loved lol. Even then it just might not be worth the money anymore. Seems every company’s quality is decreasing while their prices increase.
Thank you for watching! I broke up with LV last year. I would go broke trying to keep up. I’m barely keeping up with Dooney and Coach at this long point 🤷🏽♀️😂
I totally agree!!!
Totally agree. Then the masses should stop buying their products. Make them lose $$. A lot of these brands are now basically copying each other's bags. Why pay $2,500 for a purse when Coach or similar have the same looking one? Take a vacation with the $$ saved. At some point they will either be sold or given to your kids because you can't take them with you when you die. A few nice pieces are great but a $20-30k collection is a bit much. To each their own though.
I totally agree! Treat yourself occasionally but spend those coins on experiences rather than things. You are so right! Thx for watching!
My online experience was horrible 😢
Im so sorry 😢. Were you able to order what you wanted?
@Drelovesbags No😭
@joshin436 that sucks
This is rediculous. Especially when so many regular people are struggling to do the basics like buying a home or repay college loans. Yes, we all need fun and fashion in our lives too, but why would any of us support a company that acts this way? I'll stick with my D&B 👜 handbags, and still be able to pay for my trip to Paris! You can bet I won't be lugging any LV around Europe!
Exactly! And luxury fashion is for the rich. They keep trying to remind us but we aren’t getting the memo. So when price increases don’t work they start limiting access
The week begins on Sunday, so Wednesday is the middle of the week not Friday!
Thank you for watching
Love this video and gave you a shout out on my next video 🫶🏼
I watch you all the time! Thank you so much for checking me out 🥰
I’m okay and content without this I cherish the few lv pieces that I do have and if they don’t want my
Money I’m surely not going to beg them to take it
Im with you and I think allot of people feel that way. Thanks for watching!
Are your eyes dilated?
😂😂😂No I was just testing out the glasses to see if it would annoy me to wear them for more than an hour.. the hour wasn’t up
You're not wrong. I think it's all part of their game. People are asking 'why hype people up if you're not going to sell to them?' I think: because that's what they want to do. People not being able to have it, just makes them want it more. And if they do a second wave, people will still be scrambling to get that, maybe even more desperate than they were on the drop of the first day. And, if not everyone who wants one and has the money can get it, that's still good too (for them). That keeps their resell prices high so people feel like LV is a good "investment" and again, people want what they can't have.
This collection, and LV in general, is not for me. I have one LV bag, I'm good. As with the phrase you used, let me stay out of rich people's business ...
I have 4 LV bags and I’m trying to sell 2 of them. Anything that’s not vintage LV is too rich for me at this point. Last time I could afford to purchase a bag from the boutique was 2017 and honestly, I couldn’t afford it then lol. Thx for watching!
Just get the Dooney multi color bag - LV quality is way below Dooney
I have one and I love it!
This launch was a disaster and complete fail for us in the US and Canada. In Australia for example it was much more of a success. Their website provided a go live time, neither of ours did; they could actually purchase popular items, we could not; and the last time I checked several hours ago they still had bags available for purchase, whereas, we never did. I’m pretty sure the Asian market was the same. They also had pre-orders. I don’t really understand why the stark contrast for the same products but in different regions is because they were allocated more stock and/or they have better customer protection laws that do not allow businesses to market products that they do not have inventory on. Needless to say this will be my last launch experience with LV and my journey with them has ended before it had a chance to begin. J.
I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience. It’s really a shame when people who have the money to spend can’t get the pieces they want. I know people who had 4 or 5 items on their wishlist and couldn’t get not one. And they were on the site as soon as it went live. I work hard for my little change. The whole concept of having to do more work just to get the bag doesn’t sit right with me at all. Hopefully you’ll eventually get a piece- maybe they’ll restock later on? Thx for watching
@ They will restock. I highly doubt this will be a one and done campaign. My issue is that they knew they had stock issues so they should have staggered the launch within their various regions. Just be transparent. Initially there were 4 items I wanted but now only two. I’m going to be a much more selective LV client purchasing just special unique items when available and when I can and looking at more designer brands than just LV. I’m no longer drinking the LV koolaid. J.
What you're suggesting makes sense. But I also wonder if executing the launch like that was their strategy for building even more demand.
@@Drelovesbags Maybe but it failed. The demand was already there. People do have short memories so the masses may forgive and forget when they restock; I for one will not. If they don’t feel I’m worthy of this launch then they are not worthy of the money I was planning on spending. To a certain extent I’m kind of glad it happened as it gave me an opportunity to see how they handle their business which is mos def not about the luxury customer experience. I wasted time but kept my coins. Lesson learned. J.
You’re right. I wasn’t trying to get anything, but I’ve been watching videos for weeks leading up to the launch and after. And the way it was executed didn’t sit right with a lot of customers.
I sent an email for another LV bag. If they don’t email back. I really don’t care.
I don’t know why they’re playing with yall like that. Thx for watching!
I found the collection very easy to purchase. I just texted my CA after the site errors and she sent me a link to purchase. 🤷🏽♀️
I’m glad you were able to get what you wanted. Thx for watching!
I refuse to play these type of bag games with these fashion houses!
Okay!
All I can say is,..😫🤷🏿♀️
Right lol
Why would you say it's a disaster? I have seen tons of videos where people are very happy with the new drop. I totally love my items. Marquita is not a very reliable source. She no longer buys bags or anything and therefore only gripes and complains because she can't afford it anymore.
Im glad YOU were able to get what you wanted . It’s a disaster because so many others did not have that experience. It’s more about the launch than the products themselves. The only thing I took from Marquita were the pre release dates. Everything else was the experience of other people . If you watched the beginning of the video I say myself how cute the collection is. The issue was price and availability. And I don’t pocket watch so what another creator can or can’t afford is none of my business. Shit I can’t afford it either and never could🤷🏽♀️😂This was just my take. You don’t have to agree
@@Drelovesbags Marquita gets info and pics from other creators without giving them credit. Passes the information as if she has an inside contact. Every video of hers for the last year is complaining about LV. She doesn't even buy the brand anymore. It is misinformation to call the launch a disaster without having a first hand experience. IJS
As I stated earlier my calling it a disaster had nothing to do with Marquita. I watched numerous videos from other creators who were very pissed about the rolll out. You need to work for LV the way you’re going so hard for them right now
I think you're missing the point of this video entirely, but a bigger issue is why you feel the need to come on another content creators channel talking about Marquita's financial situation. I don't watch her closely but it is very clear that she has reached a point where she is no longer actively growing her collection. Her ability to afford whatever she's chooses to buy is not for any of us to worry about. Also what you are perceiving as complaints and gripes about the brand is actually insight, which she should have based on her extensive collection. I hope you enjoy your new items from the collection!
Sis thank you so much for watching and taking the time to understand what I was trying to stay. I appreciate you
⏰⏲⏰I hope this is an awake up call for most, this does not upset me, because I have no problem walking away from a party I am not invited to, their loss. Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger have done the same thing, but they verbally said who they wanted buying their merchandise, and people still 'drank the kool-aid'. Companies are selective of their clientele, so the clientele should be selective of the companies they purchase from. Good talk😎
Facts! Thank you for watching!
