It’s growing on me for sure. The earrings are fab and the cosmetic pouch is really cute. Love the pumpkin purse bag it’s so different. Enjoy my lovely xx
@@livingluxwithmeredith they're fab and you suit them far better than I do with your lovely shorter hair. I might treat myself to the red and white ones xx
The pieces were all beautiful 😍 I’m glad that Louis Vuitton promoted her vision. I was dying for a piece but my boutique didn’t have anything I wanted available
All gorgeous pieces!! I love the pumpkin charms that come with the bags wish they made them a part of the collection separately! There so pretty and different!
I was In The store a few days ago and I am not loving all the monogram pieces with the colorful dots but I love the black and white snd the mens cle, and that is such an adorable bag! Glad you were able to get all the pieces you wanted.
thanks for sharing, the last black bag will be so versatile, I think they are releasing another Kusama collection end of March, I've not bought any yet but I will
I've also orded the red and white key pouch. It's going to take several weeks until it's ready for me to pick up in store in Sweden. Loved seeing it up close and in detail in this video. Thanks for sharing!
Meredith, thank you for sharing. I was in Paris when the first Kusama collaboration came out and picked up a key chain. LOL. I love the uniqueness of the psychedelic flower pattern and wish they had made more of this for women. Maybe in April? Love your Marille bag---seems like a lot for the $!
They truly went all-in on the collection with the special packaging and all. Really appreciate that level of detail and dedication of the brand. I have been eyeing the Pochette Clés from the men's line. But knowing me, I wouldn't end up using it and treat it more as a collector's piece which I tr not to do with my luxury purchases. It's super pretty though. Thank you for sharing what you picked up from the collection :) And I would totally keep the packaging as well.
@@livingluxwithmeredith I agree!!!! I went to George street store today!! Omg so many eye candies!!!! I was loving it! The stores in Sydney are massive!
👏👏👏 so happy to see some of this collection. I think the small accessories are perfect to get some of these special pieces. I love ❤️ how they have the lovely packaging. Thank you for sharing with us. 😘
Congrats on scoring those pieces, especially the bag. My associate sent me the online catalog when they were first available for preorder and there are several items I'm seeing in the current drop that I don't remember seeing then, this being one of them. You were fortunate to get that one. I wish the catalog had shown details on the pieces. I had no idea the cles has that zipper pull or the mini pochette has the dotted interior. That would have made me more interested in purchasing them.
Thanks Autumn! That’s so true. Even now I look at some of the pieces online and I have no idea about the details. The neverfull had the same dot interior as the mini pochette, but the pochette Métis has no details on the site at all. This obviously doesn’t help those of us who are interested in the details! Thanks for watching!
I agree the smaller pieces spoke more to me for this drop. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes in the next! I love the red/white cles and the small bag with the pumpkin coin holder! So cute! And they absolutely nailed the packaging!!! If you part with any packaging I’ll take it off your hands! 😂 thanks as always for sharing!
Concerning the LV x YK collaboration, I have two wishes/regrets: 1) I wish I could manage to go to Paris to see the LV flagship store because the scenery outside, with YK on the root painting spots on the front of the building, is amazing. A big WOW moment, for sure!!! 2) I wish I could afford to buy some RTW pieces with the psychedelic flower design in black & white (the dress in first place!!!) or the Pochette Voyage in white with a blue flower on it. These pieces are my favorite. The YK floral design from 1993 is so feminine, dainty and delicate... 😔 Anyway, I'm excited which pieces from this collaboration you'll show us in your next video(s)! 🤩
I pick up neverfull bag white with multicolour dots bandeau zipped dots wallet and dots make up bag, I love dots and this multicolour are so funny for summer time 😍
Hi Meredith just wanted to say I LOVE your introduction! It is so you! I hope you haven’t had an avalanche of handbags fall on you! Love your channel and love you too!! Xx 😘
I can't get my head around just how VAST this collection is! Weird, we didn't get that Marelle in the UK. Looking forward to seeing what bags you ordered! 🔴⚪️
It is so big Gwenny! So many pieces. Someone else said the sane thing which really surprised me as it’s incredibly rare we get something in Australia you guys don’t get in the UK!
This was a enormously wonderful video! You picked up some amazing pieces. Also can we talk about your make up I’m in love with your highlighter. You look very beautiful
I have a student who draws a dot pattern on all of her work. I told her about Kusama, who I knew of only due to her collaborations with Louis Vuitton! Thank you for sharing these pieces with us. :)
Hi Meredith ! Happy New Year 2023 . I'm so glad you can add these sublime items to your LV collection . I love Y Kusama's art ( she is like a Japanese Manga character ) . I feel like writing a letter to the Palais de Tokyo management in Paris to ask for Yayoi Kusama updated exhibition . Greetings from Paris
Marellini isn’t in the states either. I am so disappointed that this is the limited release. I so wish that it came in the red 😢 The pumpkin coin purse is TDF
There's a second Kusama drop in April?! I haven't heard anyone other than you mention it... thanks for sharing!🥰❤️Yes, to people who can't appreciate Kusama, it's art. You're literally paying for art on the functionality of leather with a very reputable, highly acclaimed artist. 💖☺️ The US sadly doesn't get the Marellini. 😢
I love the bag it's really cute, I am not sure about this collection, I keep looking for something to purchase but nothing is calling to me. Thanks for sharing it was fun. Love the ribbons and the paper it's a nice change from their normal. 😊
Love your choices from the collection! I am also interested in those earrings! They are so beautiful! But I never bought costume jewelry from LV before. How is your experience with those pieces? I am afraid that they will tarnish fast…?
I find this earring type to be great. You do need to be careful with the pins do you don’t bend them. I can’t speak to tarnishing as I don’t feel I’ve owned a pair long enough to really have any authority on the subject
Hi Meredith I watched your video and headed out to buy the earrings. So happy to get them. Then I saw the Alma BB in black and white and its so pretty. Are you adding any Alma to your collection?? I'm not an LV user, what is your opinion is the bag?
Congratulations on your earrings!! I haven’t bought the alma from this collection but I love the style of bag. I have a ‘which alma’ video where I talk about all the different ones and what I think of them.
The dots were all hand painted by a group of artists. The earrings are super cool, I too was wondering what they look like on as I wasn't sure which way they went.😏
I don’t ever buy for the purpose of increased value, I buy what I like. If you’re only buying for the sake of investing always choose the rarest pieces.
Love this collab and love it when brands do collabs with artists, makes the pieces that much more special. “Like Pokémon” 😂 you’re funny 😄 Love from NZ💗🇳🇿💗
I only can understand this collection for collectors. The last piece and the earrings are cute they just do not scream artistry to me, but what do I know😅
I am not really into this collection but I must say that bag was so cute and that coin purse was adorable. I can see why you chose it. My 8 year old granddaughter watched this with me and said she doesn't like the dots it would give her nightmares. 🤣🤣 Kids! Much love. Jenni. XX
Hi Meredith, really enjoying the channel. Can you tell us how you use the bags ie do you try to use them all or do you use a few and keep the others pristine etc erc
When a child paints over the bag with a colored pencil, the bag becomes garbage, but when the "designer" paints, it becomes fashionable. Beautiful bags with colored dots look very stupid. I don't understand how people pay for it
I am sorry to say , i am not a fan , these dots do not work for me. The earrings i loved and you look amazing so i still enjoyed the video very much. Thanks for sharing pretty lady 💕💖💝💗
I LOVE the packaging! The Collection is cute (love the coin purse) but due to Kusama’s openly racist comments and racist paintings, I won’t open my wallet for anything related to her.
She’s 88 years old. She’s def seen more than you. We are all a product of our experiences. She has a hard time understanding English, lived in psychiatric hospital half her life. Get the full story not just comments you might learn something.
While she has made questionable decisions I think it’s important to take into account both her age and her mental state. While these things don’t excuse the behaviour they most certainly provide context and insight.
@@katemiller7874 actually I wrote a paper in college about Yayoi Kusama, I am aware of her challenges, her age, her mental health issues and her many racist comments and disturbing beliefs. She is not 88 years old. Get the full story before jumping to conclusions and properly educate yourself about that which you defend. You might learn something.
She’s a woman in her 90’s with mental health issues. Her statements speak to someone of her era who has had no cultural understanding beyond what she gets from TV and the news. That doesn’t excuse her comments but context and understanding is very important when we consider older generations.
@@livingluxwithmeredith Well I am a black woman and the fact that she’s in her 90’s doesn’t erase all the hurtful things she said about black people! When she stated those things she wasn’t insane. I feel in this society we make excuses for peoples racist behavior saying “ Their old, they didn’t know any better, etc” it’s wrong period. I’m not angry with you but I’m tired of people blaming the news , mental health etc. She knew better.
@@livingluxwithmeredith Furthermore , she had cultural “ understanding “ as she lived in lower Manhattan for many years. Which is quite diverse. She was just being mean and stereotypical. We can call her insane now because she is ; but she was quite aware of the hateful comments she made.
Kusama is a controversial character when it comes to her views on black people. Pls don't take this the wrong way but it is what it is. I'm surprised she is back at LV......
She is, but she is also a woman with mental health issues in her 90’s. This doesn’t excuse her behaviour or indorse it, but it does provide a context to be considered.
I wanted to get one bag of Yayoi collections then my son said to me they're like the bags of the clown especially the neverfull. Now I can't decide anymore.
You got some beautiful pieces!
That handbag at the end, wow stunning!
Enjoy your new goodies Meredith ❤
Thank you so much!
I love the multicolored dots on the canvas. Just one piece. Seeing it together is overload!
It is absolutely sensory overload to be in store at the moment.
Love the pumpkin coin purse! What a score 🎉
Thank you
Given your extensive collection, so excited to see what you got.
Thank you
great picks, the black/whilte epi crossbody with the pumpkin coin purse is amazing
Thanks so much!
It’s growing on me for sure. The earrings are fab and the cosmetic pouch is really cute. Love the pumpkin purse bag it’s so different. Enjoy my lovely xx
Thank you so much Jean. I think the earring are the best buy in the collection xx

I think it’s a great collection. I’m sorry you couldn’t get the pieces you wanted.
All gorgeous pieces!! I love the pumpkin charms that come with the bags wish they made them a part of the collection separately! There so pretty and different!
I totally agree!
I love the bag!!😍😍
Me too!
This was so fun to watch! Love the bag I totally would have fallen for the coin purse too!
Thanks mate. The coin purse is just pumpkin enough.
Thanks so much for showing the Louisette earrings Meredith. So striking and pretty in pink!
Glad you like them!
i love that black epi leather bag , that is really pretty.
Thank you
Hi Meredith. As a collector I can understand you buying this collection but as an ordinary LV lover I need to say no to this collection.😩
Correct
Same here !! but to each their own! I’m sure there’s things I love that others hate lol
Same this may be for some but not for me. Enjoy
That’s completely fair. We can’t all like the same things
I was In The store a few days ago and I am not loving all the monogram pieces with the colorful dots but I love the black and white snd the mens cle, and that is such an adorable bag! Glad you were able to get all the pieces you wanted.
Thank you so much
thanks for sharing, the last black bag will be so versatile, I think they are releasing another Kusama collection end of March, I've not bought any yet but I will
That’s right. That’s us a second launch coming.
I've also orded the red and white key pouch. It's going to take several weeks until it's ready for me to pick up in store in Sweden. Loved seeing it up close and in detail in this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!! Congratulations on getting a piece even if it takes a few weeks!
Meredith, thank you for sharing. I was in Paris when the first Kusama collaboration came out and picked up a key chain. LOL. I love the uniqueness of the psychedelic flower pattern and wish they had made more of this for women. Maybe in April? Love your Marille bag---seems like a lot for the $!
Thank you. That would have been great to see for the first release!
Your highlighter is perfection 💗your makeup always looks so flawless and gorgeous 💕
Thank you so much!!
lovely haul!! I must say the Kusama Marellini was not released in the United States. Enjoy!!
Thank you. I have had a few people tell me that which surprised me.
These are all amazing! I loved the last bag! ❤
Thank you!! 😊
They truly went all-in on the collection with the special packaging and all. Really appreciate that level of detail and dedication of the brand.

Beautiful run through ……❤️❤️so excited for my cle on Monday
Congratulations! The cles is beautiful
Ooo love the bag!!!! It’s cool how it comes with so many elements. The top handle is really fun!
Thanks Jessie, I think it’s one of the more understated and underrated pieces from the collection
@@livingluxwithmeredith I agree!!!! I went to George street store today!! Omg so many eye candies!!!! I was loving it! The stores in Sydney are massive!

OMG! I love your content ☺️ I met you through the giant key clay 😂 and I fall in love with your collection ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
You look gorgeous! Your UA-cam channel is one of my favourite to watch ❤
Thank you so much!!
That last little bag is cute but I really don’t get this range. It looks like a kid went mad with the acrylic paint and damaged the bags.
Agreed. Difficult to believe this person is an artist. Hard no
In fairness she is self committed to a mental institution and the art is based on her visions. But most certainly this collection isn’t for everyone
I love everything in this collection 🤗
It’s a beautiful collection
I can't get my head around just how VAST this collection is! Weird, we didn't get that Marelle in the UK. Looking forward to seeing what bags you ordered! 🔴⚪️

Congratulations! That’s a beautiful piece.
I love this collection. I also purchased the cles. Do you know if there is another release with this collection that will include another cles?
There is another release but no word on what products it will include.
Love this haul! Great choices!
Thank you!! 😊
This was a enormously wonderful video! You picked up some amazing pieces. Also can we talk about your make up I’m in love with your highlighter. You look very beautiful
Thank you so much!!
@@livingluxwithmeredith you’re welcome
Beautiful choices 🤩
Thank you!! 😊
Ooh the bag is soo cool!! And I need those black polka dot earrings now 😅❤
They are fantastic in person! They are etched with Kusama’s name on them and super easy to style.
The black and white earring are definitely the most versatile!
I love the black bag!!!
Thank you
I actually love your piece from the previous collab in 2012 more.
The first release is often the best!
I have a student who draws a dot pattern on all of her work. I told her about Kusama, who I knew of only due to her collaborations with Louis Vuitton!
Thank you for sharing these pieces with us. :)
That is awesome!

Love all your videos 🙂😊
Thank you
Great items! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Awesome collections
Thanks for watching!
I love your video’s! Does the bigger size Iphone fits the Marellini?
I would think a Max would be too big, but my 13 pro fits.
I ordered the key pouch too!😊
Congratulations!
Beautiful pieces! The red and black pocket organizer keeps speaking to me. 😂 It needs to stop I’m still collecting Virgil’s pieces ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is no stopping because there is no end lol
Marellini isn’t in the states either. I am so disappointed that this is the limited release. I so wish that it came in the red 😢 The pumpkin coin purse is TDF
It’s funny because we rarely get anything in Australia that is limited.
Hi, does the pumpkin coin pocket come with the handbag, or is it sold separately?
Thanks! 😃
It came with it.
💖💕💞💞💕💖 LVYK 2023!
Is that a raffia twist behind you? Omg that is beautiful and I'm not even a twist lover.
It is indeed. It really is a beautiful bag.
Congrats on your pieces. I’m not a fan of this collection, but I can appreciate it
Thanks. It’s definitely not for everyone!
Great haul beautiful 🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Those earrings look very pretty on you 🩷
Thank you so much
There's a second Kusama drop in April?! I haven't heard anyone other than you mention it... thanks for sharing!🥰❤️Yes, to people who can't appreciate Kusama, it's art. You're literally paying for art on the functionality of leather with a very reputable, highly acclaimed artist. 💖☺️ The US sadly doesn't get the Marellini. 😢
It’s a beautiful collection. Yes, that’s is definitely a second drop coming!
I love the bag it's really cute, I am not sure about this collection, I keep looking for something to purchase but nothing is calling to me. Thanks for sharing it was fun. Love the ribbons and the paper it's a nice change from their normal. 😊
Thank you. Ultimately the pieces have to speak to you otherwise it’s just a waste.
The Marellini is a bit hard to find. Where did you find yours?
In store in Sydney
Love your choices from the collection! I am also interested in those earrings! They are so beautiful! But I never bought costume jewelry from LV before. How is your experience with those pieces? I am afraid that they will tarnish fast…?
I find this earring type to be great. You do need to be careful with the pins do you don’t bend them. I can’t speak to tarnishing as I don’t feel I’ve owned a pair long enough to really have any authority on the subject
Hi Meredith I watched your video and headed out to buy the earrings. So happy to get them. Then I saw the Alma BB in black and white and its so pretty. Are you adding any Alma to your collection?? I'm not an LV user, what is your opinion is the bag?

hey merideth! sorry had to pause ur video right away to ask is that neverfull behind you custom? whats the name and what season is it from?
The one on the left is Spring in the City, the black one on the right is the game on collection.
The dots were all hand painted by a group of artists. The earrings are super cool, I too was wondering what they look like on as I wasn't sure which way they went.😏
They are screen printed not painted.
@@deborahsmith9968 oh I read an article that said they were hand painted???
The original pieces were hand painted and then they were mass printed for production
@@livingluxwithmeredith yep. One of those would be an amazing collector’s item!
While this was not my favorite collection the packaging was killer
The packaging is amazing!
When buying collab with known artist what you should look for that will have high value in the future since this is her last collab with LV?
I don’t ever buy for the purpose of increased value, I buy what I like. If you’re only buying for the sake of investing always choose the rarest pieces.
Cute coin purse 👛 😍 💖
Thank you
@@livingluxwithmeredith your welcome
Love this collab and love it when brands do collabs with artists, makes the pieces that much more special. “Like Pokémon” 😂 you’re funny 😄 Love from NZ💗🇳🇿💗
Glad you enjoyed it!
you are so beauiful love the pink makeup it Art so it not for everyone so people do say do not like it
This is true. Art is always subjective
I only can understand this collection for collectors. The last piece and the earrings are cute they just do not scream artistry to me, but what do I know😅
Everyone has their own preferences which is what makes luxury great, all the choice!
I’m surprised you didn’t get the Alma bb
At this point I haven’t, but never say never.
WAIT WHATS THE NAME OF THE LAST BAG I DONT SEE IT ONLINE
My understanding is that neither USA or the UK got it.
Her first collaboration was more elegant than this one in my opinion. I still use my green zippy wallet.
Often the first collection is the best. I love my piece from the first release too.
Where do u store all ur luxury bags. Ur collection must be like a show room 🙈😊
I have a specific room for them. It’s a little like the back store room of a luxury store.
If I die and go to heaven -it will be in Meredith's purse collection. 🤣
Lol, thank you
very pretty Merideth
Thank you
I am not really into this collection but I must say that bag was so cute and that coin purse was adorable. I can see why you chose it. My 8 year old granddaughter watched this with me and said she doesn't like the dots it would give her nightmares. 🤣🤣 Kids! Much love. Jenni. XX

Hi Meredith, really enjoying the channel. Can you tell us how you use the bags ie do you try to use them all or do you use a few and keep the others pristine etc erc
Thank you so much. I actually have a Q&A video coming this week where I talk about that! So stay tuned!
When a child paints over the bag with a colored pencil, the bag becomes garbage, but when the "designer" paints, it becomes fashionable. Beautiful bags with colored dots look very stupid. I don't understand how people pay for it
Well that’s the wonderfull thing about art, it’s subjective. Some people will love it and some won’t
I just can't get into this collection!!!
It’s definitely not for everyone!
What do you think about Yayoi Kusama racist statements about black people?
I think she is mentally unstable and old.
I am sorry to say , i am not a fan , these dots do not work for me. The earrings i loved and you look amazing so i still enjoyed the video very much. Thanks for sharing pretty lady 💕💖💝💗
It’s definitely not for everyone! Thanks for watching anyway.
Congratulations that you were able to add these pieces to your collection! I will pass on this collection not for me.
Thank you. No, it’s not for everyone!
I was just going to say, you need to wait for second wave.
I am. I have a feeling there’s lots more coming.
