I have a medium black Chanel bag that I borrowed from my sister to take on vacation to Hawaii. Everyone compliments it. I didn't even know what a Chanel bag was at the time. When I went for a job interview, the interviewer told me that Chanel bags were beautiful and her daughter would definitely like one. But my sister told me that she bought it from *jklux* .
This is going to be first and last time paying a full price for something and having to wait for 3 months NOT GUARANTEED delivery. It is extremely disrespectful and disrespect isn’t luxurious at all.
Definitely a cash grab. I'm more pissed how some gen Z influencers are getting PR packeges that have Murakami design box, while paying customers are getting a plain standard orange boxes.
When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *jklux* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.
But not only that they’re sending out free merchandise to influencers meanwhile people who are ready to purchase can’t even purchase the items because they’re unavailable. Really backwards if you ask me.
This *jklux* canvas tote actually reminded me of the Hermès Garden Party as well. Thank you for making this video and recommending more affordable alternatives. It made me learn a lot about the details of the bag and I love it so much!
A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her dup luxury brands bags are bought from *jklux* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money.
I disagree that they under estimated the demand. They knew how nostalgic the launch would be for the people that were around the first time and for the new younger clients. They did the ad campaign with Zendaya. They knew. But let’s say you’re right and they didn’t know then they could have come in front of this from the beginning. Instead they ignored us. They haven’t really created FOMO instead they alienated a large number of their customer base such as myself. This is not a good look for them. The money I was going to spend I reallocated elsewhere. The longer they stay silent, the longer products are unavailable, the more I lose interest in purchasing the only one item I still would like from this collection. The consumer can stand up for themselves by either boycotting LV or greatly reducing their LV budget and be much more intentional with what they buy. Tricks are for kids. J.
You make a great point - especially around you now spending your money elsewhere .. which will probably be now for the future. It’s disappointing they did this - 100% agree it’s not a good look
Hi ! Was there a time when LV Mono Vernis Perle Read PM Monogram.does not have a date code? My aunt and I were trying to authenticate an old Vernis white bag. The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that *jklux* was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.
I completely agree. I’ve also re-allocated my funds to other designer purchases at this point. LV really shot themselves in the foot with this one I feel. I don’t have the FOMO. I’m just disappointed and annoyed.
@@jordynn55 Absolutely! I coined a new phrase saying LV may have thought they were creating FOMO but instead they created NOMO as I’m over it and done with them. J.
I got the pouchette accessories in white multi color and I absolutely love this little happy bag. I carried it for the first time yesterday and went to Louis Vuitton at South Coast Plaza here in Southern California and the sales associates all said that I won the LV lottery getting one and that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get one anymore.
The packaging kerfuffle really struck me as a sign of LV pulling back on their investment in this launch. For the Kusama launch they were throwing the packaging at us - bags, ribbons, tags - even when we weren’t buying Kusama pieces. I have several full sets of that packaging slipped in with a purchase of a Neverfull not from that range. The plot thickens.
Buy Hermès then. Everyone gets the same treatment, according to their spending. No freebie for influencer. LV is just a cheap tad brand that relies heavily on celebrities and influencers.
These Murakami pieces are not reasonably priced compared to the non-Murakami versions, e.g. US$1K difference for the Alma bb. 20 years on, I am now capable of paying these prices but cannot get over the unjustifiable premiums LV has tacked on. Hard pass.
Finding pleasure in another person's good fortune is what social scientists call “freudenfreude,” a term (inspired by the German word for “joy”) that describes the bliss we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn't directly involve us. IM THE SAME WAY AND I NEVER KNEW WHY! THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤
I love a good *jklux* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I’m curious, did the Kusama and Denim collection also have Client Tiering for preorders? I wasn’t interested in either of those. I was told I could preorder with the third group, but then later was told I couldn’t preorder at all. I saw a video yday of a woman who preordered 16 pieces and another who preordered 18!!!! No wonder everything “sold out” before mere mortals were able to order.
The collection is beautiful and I can see the lure to it because it’s iconic. It is crazy expensive how much this collection is though. I don’t know if I can justify it.
Hands Down the best video I have seen on the Murakami launch topic! It has absolutely been a SS. As you probably know, there were two pre-orders that opened; once in late December and a second in early January. I understand that the people who were able to get items in the second pre-orders have received an email saying that they won't receive their order for up to 3 months. I haven't seen anyone talking about that in Australia so I am not sure if it's everyone who ordered or just specific items etc. It seems like something went wrong and they either underestimated demand or there has been a delay in manufacturing items (or both) which explains what we are seeing play out.
Many doubted the popularity of this Murakami release but I didn’t. Lines were long here in the U.S. and stores had hardly anything in stock. The website was down and not functioning properly. Luckily I know a few CA’s and managed to purchase the Murakami side trunk, white multicolor sneakers, and black multicolor silk scarf size 90. I wanted a speedy but those were only available to VIC’s on preorder and they sold out.
Spoke with one SA on Monday and they said to keep checking online because they were expecting to have pieces popping up. Then, spoke with another SA in NYC yesterday and they told me “I can confirm that stock has been depleted and it’s now over.” And then teased “but there’s more to come check back with us next month.” Which I had already heard they would be doing monogram in Jan, Cherry blossoms in Feb., and Cherries in Mar. I wonder if they won’t sprinkle more of the previous styles in with each subsequent launch or if they are TRULY TRULY sold out.
They aren’t. Not in the states sold out. I called customer service they had the black multicolor in Florida and I asked her to ship it to me she said all sales are in person. She wanted me to fly to Florida? Hell no. They are playing games. She said all sakes have to be in person. That’s bull.
@ they told me that when I called the first time. Told me I needed to shop in person because it was the first week of release but after that it would be opened up online. Which it hasn’t been.
@@katemiller7874This is definitely from the Hermes playbook. I found the XL cashmere shawl I wanted in Singapore and I am in NZ. Called them. They said it must be in person. I was shocked. I excuse them by thinking they want to nurture “local” clienteles. BUT! In 2025, how do you define “local”….?? A lot of us are all over the place!
I wish you would replay your “shorts”. The ones where you mimic an LV sales associate and a shopper. You make me laugh so hard I almost pee in my pants! We all need to laugh hard enough to pee our pants! 😂
All interesting theories! But I can’t see myself paying those prices for a canvas bag. Personally, I would buy vintage for $1500 USD or rep of the new pieces for even less.
LOL Conner..”A Luxury Humanitarian”…..I agree….they tried to work around the fact the demand was more than they anticipated as those last two collabs was ehh. I do think they will restock. I took a pass on this collection and went for a bag from the cruise collection. When I went to pick up may bag last week I was offered a couple of multicolor pieces. BTW I am not a VIC and only buy from LV once or twice a year. They were cute but I was more interested in the original drop.
Tbh when something is (or seems to be) ubiquitous it really puts me off! That being said, this collection would never be for me (unless they did a navy multicolour...), so I've just sat back and enjoyed the ride! I do think this launch has been a bit of a farce! A marketing ploy or a mismanaged preorder remains to be seen, but either way LV should have the experience to know better! It doesn't make me covet LV, in fact the opposite, I don't appreciate being toyed with in the way LV seems to be doing!
Very valid points Connor. Wonder what is going to happen next with the Cherry Blossom and Cherries collection. Would love to see your point of view on those. ♥️♥️♥️
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one *esluxy* Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym
I was fully out of my LV era until this collab, I got a preloved slg and then scored the white passport. The markup is wild! But I will say the canvas feels more substantial
i'm a bit confused by how they thought this would not be popular at least in the US. Like millenials and gen z grew up watching celebrities carrying these bags. there's a lot of us with money, and then you bring in any of zendaya's fans. there's kind of a reason this monogram stuck around for quite a while during the original run. i will say they really fucked with the pre-orders. because they probably pissed off even lower VICs (people spending 10-60k in your store).
I definitely think they underestimated the higher demand it had because of the higher prices, but they should have been way more prepared. Zendaya is gorgeous so glad they used her in the marketing ❤
Some of y’all look like you’re playing in your kids closets. Zendaya’s fan base would support her own designs. From what I’ve seen it’s mostly older white women who wanna show out like “looook I didn’t have the money back then but I do now.” Most Black Women I know agree the colors look more muted and this line is not nearly as good as the OG line was. I have most of the OG collection. It was telling how many white women used to think my bags were fake bc I was a younger Black Women. I used to literally have them coming up to me and saying “oh wow that bag is so nice it looks real.” 🙄
i can understand tha ribbon shortage lol or the tag or the wrapper however the shopping bag were also in scarcity??? If they drop 500 murakami pieces in the boutique at least there should be enough murakami shopping bag where the SA needs to put it. Some boutiques did not even received ANY packaging at all! Why on earth lv supply a murakami pieces but not the packaging. The weirdness of it all!
LV sent their poor staff over the top and into the battlefield unprepared. It’s all felt really hurried and a bit crap and I say that as someone who nabbed a piece. The 10 week shipping on another piece let me know they are making things if the interest is there, as you rightly said. What a kerfuffle it’s all been! 🙄
Haven’t you noticed that it’s a lot of older white women who didn’t have the money back then trying to show out now. That’s a lot of what I’ve seen. I may be salty bc I have most of the OG collection and I used to have white women coming up to me making comments and assuming my bags were fake bc in their minds there was no way a younger Black Woman could afford one. I spent most of my childhood watching my mother lay her outfits for church out on Saturday nights. She has a extensive Fendi collection and I remember helping her pick her bag to go with her outfit. I was in my twenties when the OG line came out and my mother gifted me my first bag. Im from Detroit and one of my mother’s best friends was Kin to Detroit music royalty. She used to help my mother get whatever bags she wanted. In fact my mother won a new Birkin bag she donated to my mother’s church for a fundraiser they did. I’m not about to buy these new bags bc the canvas looks weaker, and the color palette looks muted to me. The only thing I like is the new clochette and the only bag I kind of want is the Alma bb bc they didn’t make one back in the day. I think that backpack looks weird with all the koala clips and the speedy looks like it’s missing something. The OG soeedys, the Courtney, the Sharleen, and the Sologne can’t be beat, PERIODT!!!!
The first drop did not do much for me, disappointed with styles and the color of prints look odd, and I turned down pre order offered from my SA (if you own any of OG pieces you will know what I am talkin about). I might get my hand on SLG when cherry drop.
I was only able to get my hands on one little slg via the website on launch day ( it took me hours to get with all the website crashes lol) It arrived a few days ago, and I guess I was lucky with the packaging 📦 mine had the special ribbon 🎀 with the special tag and they included a cute envelope ✉️ pouch with stickers from the colab as well 😊
Connor you are spot on 🎯 about this topic! 😃 Loved your intro by the way 😅 I am glad you are seeing channels you haven’t seen before, my channel is mainly about the OG Murakami because I have a big collection of multicolor, cherry blossom, cherries, panda. I’m with Meredith on not buying the new drop handbags. I picked up a perfume and I’m after a few bracelets for the Superflat, multicolor drop. Cherry blossom and cherries I’m excited for. 😃
The famous Connor! ❤ You popped up in my algorithm and I instantly subscribed. Appreciate your thoughts on this very curious launch. Those were my thoughts too. I figured it would be a monster launch, as in HUGE demand like LV had never seen before, as in unprecedented. I am a connoisseur of the unprecedented in all things. On launch day, my prediction was confirmed. I think LV was hurting with the luxury slowdown and the Kusama launch results and were being careful not to over-extend. As the pre-orders came flooding in, they must have been floored, and definitely caught out. I have an in store launch day order pending validation. Will they fill my order or return my money. My guess is that they will NOT want to return my money and they WILL want to repair customer relations. Will they restock? I think they will, but it will have to wait until after cherry blossoms and cherries drop. I mean, the 2003 launch ran until 2014 right?
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *xbagy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations
So wonderful to see your handsome smiling face lovely Connor. You are very much a luxury humanitarian. 🤣This was a great video, and you explained your thoughts so well but then you always do. Thank you for making my start to the day a good one. I think you would bring joy to anyone's day. Much love. Jenni. XX💙💙
Not about the Murakami collection but I’ve noticed on the US website that the classic speedy 30 is only showing in DE and notify me. Not showing in monogram or DA. The 25 classic isn’t showing either. Curious what this means and what the Australia website shows? Thanks
I enjoyed your comments on the LV website saying the product is not available. I figured out LV was putting this up when the womens denim collection didnt fully sell out. I purchased from the denim collection but was very disappointed in the quality and did a comparison of a Chanel small 22 denim. I was never crazy about this recent launch even from twenty years ago. I was immediately turned off when LV changed to tiered customers first and the lower spend customers get whats left over. Another youtube influencer is getting now a lot of complaints of the poor quality of this collection. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about this mess. 😂😂
From what our SA said you are pretty much spot on - they anticipated it would be popular but nowhere near as much as it was so they were a bit unprepared. I know people are sceptical of that but I believe him!
I love the collection but from afar… thanks for your thoughts on the LV x TM collection! 🎉 I just subscribed, I don’t know how on earth I didn’t subscribed before 😂 love your sense of humor
Regardless of the *esluxy* bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
Shady shenanigans indeed! I'm hoping for a drip-feed of stock... , wasn't interested in this collection, watched a lot of unboxings, now want something! 🤦🏼♀️
I always think of Hannibal Lecter in these instances (to which I am certainly not immune) - “How do we begin to covet? We begin by coveting what we see everyday.” Hard to avoid TM on UA-cam atm!
Thank you *amzrepe* ! I bought the Chanel Classic Flap Bag and it was exactly what I needed. Amazing price, smooth shopping experience, and great product. Much better than I expected!
The reality is that large designer brands such as Gucci, Hermes, LV, etc. are becoming outdated as consumer demand has shifted from wanting to appear "wealthy" to wanting to show their "intelligence". 10 years ago if you bought a *amzrepe* you were "cheap" and "fake", now you're "smart" and "cost-conscious" because customers have realised their's no need to pay 10x more for the same quality bag.
I’m no expert but I wonder if it was a test run for cherries and blossoms releases, with LV anticipating less interest in this drop, maybe because there is already a healthier amount of multicolour on the preloved market as compared to cherries and blossoms. I think the interest has caught them somewhat by surprise, hence the now famous multicolour ribbon shortage of 2025 🥴
This is a good commentary. I also feel like this drop was just… random. The last Murakami pieces in the boutique were sold in early 2010s. So it hasn’t really been 20 years. They knew the Cherries and blossoms collection are big but not Murakami big.
If you are looking for high-quality replica clothing, *amzrepe* is definitely your best choice! Their products are well designed, high quality, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended to everyone!
I was just messaging Dayle on her video. I'm in the UK and none of the slgs are available. I messaged with the person online, nothing's available. Asked if I should do the email notification and she said yes, on the off chance they come back into stock. I've been following this since the beginning of January and there's been nothing available online, it's only said coming soon. I may be able to go into store in a few weeks but I'm not in London so the store I go to rarely has any special pieces. It's very annoying, I'm not looking for some incredibly expensive handbag, I just want an slg because they make me happier than bags ❤
I'm happy and disappointed at the same time with this launch. I’m currently living out my teenage dreams with this collection. I have grown up money now and have lost my mind 😂 with this collection. I was able to pre-order on December 5th, 13th, 30th, and Jan 1st and 3rd. I'm still waiting for several shipments to arrive. I have yet to receive any limited-edition packaging. My SA and I have been in constant communication for the past month. I don't live close to a store. My SA said their store had not received any packaging yet. Most of my items have been shipped directly to the store for in-store pick-up, and my SA will send them to me overnight. My orders are arriving faster with this method. I do have a couple of online orders coming soon. I'm hoping to receive the packaging. When you drop over $10k on your dream collection, you expect the entire experience.
Oh I 100% agree with you - I think these brands don’t realise that we’re so heavily invested in the experience from shopping bag to tissue paper to the final product!!
I def have to second that! The comment on better hardware... The gold metal panda piece on the zipper of my pink romy cardholder feels so much more substantial than expected. So am quite happy with the quality of all my pieces from this collection!! 😍😍🌈 Yes! so happy...and this collection totally motivated me to come back on UA-cam and start posting again :)🥰🤩
Disappointed They Couldn't Work A Better Launch !!! I Have A Alma From The First Drop From The First Drop Years Ago !!! I Couldn't Even Get The Twilly For My Alma For The Anniversary Collection !! I Am Sick Of These Resellers Grabbing Up Everything And Reselling Is For Even Higher Prices !!! I Collect I Don't Sell My Loveys I'm Very Disappointed I Could Not Even Get A $240 Piece !!! Shame On You LV For Letting Alot Of Us Down !!! I Don't Want Anything From The Other 2 Collections. !!!! I Wanted It From This Collection 🤬
I agree, I wanted a couple of pieces from the multicolor to use this summer and to relive my 20’s 😊 In 2004 I bought the white Speedy 30 with the pocket, so this is sentimental for me. But I couldn’t really get anything. I never cared for the blossoms or cherries and still don’t. There isn’t anything I want from the upcoming collections, just the multicolor. I keep checking my wishlist tab a couple of times a day in hopes that something will pop up but I think that any returns or drip feeds will be offered to the SA’s so they can sell it to their customers. From hyped and happy to disappointed and sad 🙄
@@dolce_dolce8271There are lots of us who were there during their first launch in 2002. Lots of us are in our 40s and 50s now and often with a lot of purchasing power now. Combined with our emotional investments in the nostalgia of it all I thought they would have really capitalize on us. But perhaps their focus is on the young ones? Social media ruined luxury. I said what I said.
Yes, I agree that because the Kusama collection didn't do well especially in the US and UK that LV thought it would be the same for Murakami. And also because the Tyler the creator collection which had a similar pattern didn't do well that led LV to underestimate demand. I was on the Australian website when online ordering went live and ordered the black toiletry pouch and black bandeau within the first 15minutes. They originally had an estimated delivery date of 10-14th Jan but the toiletry pouch was always "pending validation". I ordered 2 other items a couple of days after that and those went to "pending validation" too. I suspect they had a slight restock on the 10th as rumoured because they finally shipped my bandeau but sent me an email to inform me my other items will be delayed for up to 3 months. All this hype, craze and scarcity is reminding me of the palm springs mini. Everyone seemed desperate to get one or would put up with some minor defect because it was the last one etc and now they're saying they don't wear it anymore.
Tyler the creator collection is not as polished as the murakami. While Tyler's silhoutte is similar to murakami it is a messy and the color does not screaming fun while not being all over the place. Also a lot of design from Kusama cough the dots cough were not giving luxury feel. Were those dots gives a fun vibe ? 😂 Sure if you ask a kid to do dots on top of a lv monogram canvas and this is on top of kusama's racist remarks. There is no breakthrough with Tyler and Kusama. And while those collections may appear fun for some, it did not go well with the house emblem!
I have to say the Murakami collection is very BrisVegas. It looks great on Dayle but I'm sceptical about it for myself. Why are people upset about tissue paper? I'm sorry but this has gone Whoosh! right past my 'care facility' station. I wish they'd done something innovative instead of rehashing the products. Like, what's wrong with dipping 4 corners of a scarf into a dyepot with different colours, pink, green, blue yellow for eg and then do a reverse monogram with those colours and then the centre is the usual? But no. It's pretty mundane. I don't understand the excitement. But I am pleased Dayle uses her Alma 30 as a workhorse because that's what it's for. I'm a big exponent for the Alma. Even if hers is cooler than mine.
I’ll also add that some of these folks look silly carrying these bags. This collection was popular during the Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, bubblegum era and the ppl buying these bags look like they’re playing in their kids’ closets. I feel the same way about the bags Pharrell designed. His Speedys look like they are made for colorful Black and Brown women, everything about his bags scream street wear juxtaposed with luxury. They are reminiscent of Zandaya, Rhianna, Nikki Minaj, Cardi B, Meghan Thee Stallion, and they look like bags one would see courtside at a NBA game. Older white women doing these unboxings look like culture vultures. They look like the same white women who used to wear big gold ropes back in the days of RUN-D.M.C. 🤦🏾♀️
My sister is married to a rich man so she buys "designer bags and jewelry" but he doesn't know that the bags she owns are fake. She put the rest of the money aside for a rainy day. *esluxy*
Excellent points! So far, the best video I’ve seen on this topic.
Thank you so much for watching ❤❤❤
Love this content! It reminds me of the *esluxy* bag I found-so stylish and affordable!
I have a medium black Chanel bag that I borrowed from my sister to take on vacation to Hawaii. Everyone compliments it. I didn't even know what a Chanel bag was at the time. When I went for a job interview, the interviewer told me that Chanel bags were beautiful and her daughter would definitely like one. But my sister told me that she bought it from *jklux* .
Imagine how this *esluxy* would look with this outfit!
So sleek and practical for daily needs! *esluxy*

Definitely a cash grab. I'm more pissed how some gen Z influencers are getting PR packeges that have Murakami design box, while paying customers are getting a plain standard orange boxes.
Yeah that was an absolute slap in the face - I hate when they pull stunts like that. THE BETRAYAL
Exactly. White box, nice dustbag. Tissue paper and ribbon.
When I was 12 my mom took me to the LV on Bloor Street in Toronto. I had my fake LV from *jklux* on my arm and thought I was cute. The sweet sales ladies let me try on a bag and a pair of heels knowing we were not wealthy and couldn't afford to purchase anything. It as really nice. No one seemed to care I had a fake bag and I felt special. They even gave me a paper shopping bag which I used as a lunch bag for weeks after! :) Who cares if people don't have real ones? I'm 30 now and ironically, although I can afford them I still prefer real people with fake bags than fake people with real bags. Just saying :) (not that everyone who carries a real one is bad or vice versa.) Just means I don't care if people carry fakes.

The packaging kerfuffle really struck me as a sign of LV pulling back on their investment in this launch. For the Kusama launch they were throwing the packaging at us - bags, ribbons, tags - even when we weren’t buying Kusama pieces. I have several full sets of that packaging slipped in with a purchase of a Neverfull not from that range. The plot thickens.

Buy Hermès then. Everyone gets the same treatment, according to their spending. No freebie for influencer. LV is just a cheap tad brand that relies heavily on celebrities and influencers.
That's it. I think people will find it very difficult to accept knockoffs in their hearts, but for me, it's a new way of consumption. *jklux*
These Murakami pieces are not reasonably priced compared to the non-Murakami versions, e.g. US$1K difference for the Alma bb. 20 years on, I am now capable of paying these prices but cannot get over the unjustifiable premiums LV has tacked on. Hard pass.
Yeah it’s a massive mark up for the collab
Finding pleasure in another person's good fortune is what social scientists call “freudenfreude,” a term (inspired by the German word for “joy”) that describes the bliss we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn't directly involve us. IM THE SAME WAY AND I NEVER KNEW WHY! THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤
Oh I love that!!! Thank you for watching lovely ❤❤❤
I'm the same, and because this collection isn't my cup of tea, I've enjoyed the ride without temptation!
I love a good *jklux* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I’m curious, did the Kusama and Denim collection also have Client Tiering for preorders? I wasn’t interested in either of those. I was told I could preorder with the third group, but then later was told I couldn’t preorder at all. I saw a video yday of a woman who preordered 16 pieces and another who preordered 18!!!! No wonder everything “sold out” before mere mortals were able to order.
Mortals 😂😂😂
I think kusama and denim did had a system but the demand really wasn’t there so it got opened up to the public pretty quick.
I love leopard print and Celine in deep velvet has a special place in my heart now. *jklux*
The collection is beautiful and I can see the lure to it because it’s iconic. It is crazy expensive how much this collection is though. I don’t know if I can justify it.
@@HoloHoloAdventures I’m with you!!!
Hands Down the best video I have seen on the Murakami launch topic! It has absolutely been a SS. As you probably know, there were two pre-orders that opened; once in late December and a second in early January. I understand that the people who were able to get items in the second pre-orders have received an email saying that they won't receive their order for up to 3 months. I haven't seen anyone talking about that in Australia so I am not sure if it's everyone who ordered or just specific items etc. It seems like something went wrong and they either underestimated demand or there has been a delay in manufacturing items (or both) which explains what we are seeing play out.
@@cherieroatz4233 thank you for watching lovely! Oh wow three months that’s crazzzyyyy
LV has audacity to charge this much for canvas and mediocre leather, especially now that so many are seeing quality issues as well.
Whatever they’re doing it works 😂
Many doubted the popularity of this Murakami release but I didn’t. Lines were long here in the U.S. and stores had hardly anything in stock. The website was down and not functioning properly. Luckily I know a few CA’s and managed to purchase the Murakami side trunk, white multicolor sneakers, and black multicolor silk scarf size 90. I wanted a speedy but those were only available to VIC’s on preorder and they sold out.
It sounds like you got your hands on some great pieces! Lucky you! ❤❤ the side trunk is gorgeous congrats x
All the bags you shared look so beautiful and well made that I decided to try them. *jklux*
Spoke with one SA on Monday and they said to keep checking online because they were expecting to have pieces popping up. Then, spoke with another SA in NYC yesterday and they told me “I can confirm that stock has been depleted and it’s now over.” And then teased “but there’s more to come check back with us next month.” Which I had already heard they would be doing monogram in Jan, Cherry blossoms in Feb., and Cherries in Mar. I wonder if they won’t sprinkle more of the previous styles in with each subsequent launch or if they are TRULY TRULY sold out.
Honestly, I don't even know anymore! 😂
@ this was a bigger cluster than a hype drop in the streetwear sector.
They aren’t. Not in the states sold out. I called customer service they had the black multicolor in Florida and I asked her to ship it to me she said all sales are in person. She wanted me to fly to Florida? Hell no. They are playing games. She said all sakes have to be in person. That’s bull.
@ they told me that when I called the first time. Told me I needed to shop in person because it was the first week of release but after that it would be opened up online. Which it hasn’t been.
@@katemiller7874This is definitely from the Hermes playbook. I found the XL cashmere shawl I wanted in Singapore and I am in NZ. Called them. They said it must be in person. I was shocked. I excuse them by thinking they want to nurture “local” clienteles. BUT! In 2025, how do you define “local”….?? A lot of us are all over the place!
I wish you would replay your “shorts”. The ones where you mimic an LV sales associate and a shopper. You make me laugh so hard I almost pee in my pants! We all need to laugh hard enough to pee our pants! 😂
Hahaha Dayle keeps pestering me to do more 😂
I’m saving money for another property. No more bags for me unless I sell the ones I have first
Feels 😢
All interesting theories! But I can’t see myself paying those prices for a canvas bag. Personally, I would buy vintage for $1500 USD or rep of the new pieces for even less.
😂 I hear you!
LOL Conner..”A Luxury Humanitarian”…..I agree….they tried to work around the fact the demand was more than they anticipated as those last two collabs was ehh. I do think they will restock. I took a pass on this collection and went for a bag from the cruise collection. When I went to pick up may bag last week I was offered a couple of multicolor pieces. BTW I am not a VIC and only buy from LV once or twice a year. They were cute but I was more interested in the original drop.
Very interesting! Glad you stuck to your guns and got something you really love ❤❤❤
Tbh when something is (or seems to be) ubiquitous it really puts me off! That being said, this collection would never be for me (unless they did a navy multicolour...), so I've just sat back and enjoyed the ride!
I do think this launch has been a bit of a farce! A marketing ploy or a mismanaged preorder remains to be seen, but either way LV should have the experience to know better! It doesn't make me covet LV, in fact the opposite, I don't appreciate being toyed with in the way LV seems to be doing!
Thank you for watching ❤❤
Very valid points Connor. Wonder what is going to happen next with the Cherry Blossom and Cherries collection. Would love to see your point of view on those. ♥️♥️♥️
@@Zaar000 we shall soon see hehe thank you for watching 😘😘
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one *esluxy* Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym
This *esluxy* + your style = my ultimate goals!
I was fully out of my LV era until this collab, I got a preloved slg and then scored the white passport. The markup is wild! But I will say the canvas feels more substantial
i'm a bit confused by how they thought this would not be popular at least in the US. Like millenials and gen z grew up watching celebrities carrying these bags. there's a lot of us with money, and then you bring in any of zendaya's fans. there's kind of a reason this monogram stuck around for quite a while during the original run.
i will say they really fucked with the pre-orders. because they probably pissed off even lower VICs (people spending 10-60k in your store).
I definitely think they underestimated the higher demand it had because of the higher prices, but they should have been way more prepared. Zendaya is gorgeous so glad they used her in the marketing ❤
Some of y’all look like you’re playing in your kids closets. Zendaya’s fan base would support her own designs. From what I’ve seen it’s mostly older white women who wanna show out like “looook I didn’t have the money back then but I do now.” Most Black Women I know agree the colors look more muted and this line is not nearly as good as the OG line was. I have most of the OG collection. It was telling how many white women used to think my bags were fake bc I was a younger Black Women. I used to literally have them coming up to me and saying “oh wow that bag is so nice it looks real.” 🙄
@@melanatedqueen6662Why bring race into this 🧐
You so Smart!!!!! I believe you figured LV out!
I am! Sometimes 😂😂
i can understand tha ribbon shortage lol or the tag or the wrapper however the shopping bag were also in scarcity??? If they drop 500 murakami pieces in the boutique at least there should be enough murakami shopping bag where the SA needs to put it. Some boutiques did not even received ANY packaging at all! Why on earth lv supply a murakami pieces but not the packaging. The weirdness of it all!
I think it's safe to say that the whole release was a bit chaotic, to say the least! 😂
LV sent their poor staff over the top and into the battlefield unprepared. It’s all felt really hurried and a bit crap and I say that as someone who nabbed a piece. The 10 week shipping on another piece let me know they are making things if the interest is there, as you rightly said. What a kerfuffle it’s all been! 🙄
Yeah thats crazy!! Glad you snagged what you wanted ❤❤❤
Great video as usual! Tbh I am not surprised on the sell out times on this. People are here for it!
The hype is real! Hehe thank you ❤
Haven’t you noticed that it’s a lot of older white women who didn’t have the money back then trying to show out now. That’s a lot of what I’ve seen. I may be salty bc I have most of the OG collection and I used to have white women coming up to me making comments and assuming my bags were fake bc in their minds there was no way a younger Black Woman could afford one. I spent most of my childhood watching my mother lay her outfits for church out on Saturday nights. She has a extensive Fendi collection and I remember helping her pick her bag to go with her outfit.
I was in my twenties when the OG line came out and my mother gifted me my first bag. Im from Detroit and one of my mother’s best friends was Kin to Detroit music royalty. She used to help my mother get whatever bags she wanted. In fact my mother won a new Birkin bag she donated to my mother’s church for a fundraiser they did.
I’m not about to buy these new bags bc the canvas looks weaker, and the color palette looks muted to me. The only thing I like is the new clochette and the only bag I kind of want is the Alma bb bc they didn’t make one back in the day. I think that backpack looks weird with all the koala clips and the speedy looks like it’s missing something. The OG soeedys, the Courtney, the Sharleen, and the Sologne can’t be beat, PERIODT!!!!
Didn't they also say they hadn't anticipated demand when Pharrell dropped his collection?? I mean, is that their go to excuse for everything now? 🙄
@@vanessaa7602 basically hahaha
The first drop did not do much for me, disappointed with styles and the color of prints look odd, and I turned down pre order offered from my SA (if you own any of OG pieces you will know what I am talkin about). I might get my hand on SLG when cherry drop.
lol
Luxury humanitarian! 😂 you always kill me ❤
😅😅😅
I was only able to get my hands on one little slg via the website on launch day ( it took me hours to get with all the website crashes lol)
It arrived a few days ago, and I guess I was lucky with the packaging 📦 mine had the special ribbon 🎀 with the special tag and they included a cute envelope ✉️ pouch with stickers from the colab as well 😊
Lucky you, that's the way it should be, it's the little things. 🌈🌈🌈
Brilliant vid Connor! thanks 💙
Really enjoyed your insight from Australia! I am all the way in UK and it’s been a mess! Thank you 🤩
Thank you for watching ❤❤❤
Connor you are spot on 🎯 about this topic! 😃 Loved your intro by the way 😅 I am glad you are seeing channels you haven’t seen before, my channel is mainly about the OG Murakami because I have a big collection of multicolor, cherry blossom, cherries, panda. I’m with Meredith on not buying the new drop handbags. I picked up a perfume and I’m after a few bracelets for the Superflat, multicolor drop. Cherry blossom and cherries I’m excited for. 😃
@@Smilingcats_couture just subscribed to you!
Oh interesting!! Can’t wait to watch some of your videos to see that collection xx
@ thank you, very sweet of you 🥰 I’m a newbie to the tubes, still working things out 😜
The famous Connor! ❤ You popped up in my algorithm and I instantly subscribed. Appreciate your thoughts on this very curious launch. Those were my thoughts too. I figured it would be a monster launch, as in HUGE demand like LV had never seen before, as in unprecedented. I am a connoisseur of the unprecedented in all things. On launch day, my prediction was confirmed. I think LV was hurting with the luxury slowdown and the Kusama launch results and were being careful not to over-extend. As the pre-orders came flooding in, they must have been floored, and definitely caught out. I have an in store launch day order pending validation. Will they fill my order or return my money. My guess is that they will NOT want to return my money and they WILL want to repair customer relations. Will they restock? I think they will, but it will have to wait until after cherry blossoms and cherries drop. I mean, the 2003 launch ran until 2014 right?
Thank you for subscribing lovely ❤❤ hmm that’s interesting!!! Fingers crossed you get it fulfilled. 🌈🌈🌈
Hopefully you’re right! 🤷♀️ Just print more tissue paper for goodness sake LV 😡😂🤦♀️
Right?! We want tissue paper!!
I wanted to say it in a different way, but I’m not sure if I’d get kicked off utube! 😤 🤪😂
It's a marketing ploy to drive a frenzy. They're been scamming us for a few years now. Agree with you Connor 💯 ❤️

Hi, thanks, we didn't know about this *amzrepe* , is its quality really comparable to the original one?
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *xbagy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations
Great points 😊💙
Thanks! 😊
@THECLOSETbyConnor your welcome
So wonderful to see your handsome smiling face lovely Connor. You are very much a luxury humanitarian. 🤣This was a great video, and you explained your thoughts so well but then you always do.

Seen a lovely Louis Vuitton x Murakami NEVERFULL BAG ,and Zippy Purse on EBAY ( seems the only ones in the U.K )
😮😮😮😮😮
They are happy pieces.
🌈🌈🌈🌈
Similar to the work in unicef...girl 😂
😂😂😂😂
Not about the Murakami collection but I’ve noticed on the US website that the classic speedy 30 is only showing in DE and notify me. Not showing in monogram or DA. The 25 classic isn’t showing either. Curious what this means and what the Australia website shows? Thanks
Just had a Quick Look - looks like only the Bando versions are showing but in all patterns 😮
@ I find that interesting
I enjoyed your comments on the LV website saying the product is not available. I figured out LV was putting this up when the womens denim collection didnt fully sell out. I purchased from the denim collection but was very disappointed in the quality and did a comparison of a Chanel small 22 denim. I was never crazy about this recent launch even from twenty years ago. I was immediately turned off when LV changed to tiered customers first and the lower spend customers get whats left over.
Another youtube influencer is getting now a lot of complaints of the poor quality of this collection. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about this mess. 😂😂
@@madame491 stay tuned hehe
I wasn’t interested until I started seeing all the videos on UA-cam and I ended up joining the bandwagon lol
I love my item tho 😆
Hahaha well I’m glad you got something you love ❤❤
From what our SA said you are pretty much spot on - they anticipated it would be popular but nowhere near as much as it was so they were a bit unprepared. I know people are sceptical of that but I believe him!
@@ClaireLouiseLuxe makes sense!! Thank you for sharing Claire 😘😘
I love the collection but from afar… thanks for your thoughts on the LV x TM collection! 🎉 I just subscribed, I don’t know how on earth I didn’t subscribed before 😂 love your sense of humor
Thank you so much ❤ welcome xx
The only thing I want from the collection is the hat. The other stuff is too busy for my taste 😂
Hahaha do it!!
Great video ❤
Regardless of the *esluxy* bag or any other factors, I ardently hold that without proper expertise, one would fail to distinguish variations in the sack's appearance or metal parts.
Interesting theory 📰- thanks Connor 🧐
Thank you for watching ❤❤
Shady shenanigans indeed! I'm hoping for a drip-feed of stock... , wasn't interested in this collection, watched a lot of unboxings, now want something! 🤦🏼♀️
Agh always the way Gwenny .. I have resisted the urge and it’s been hard.. swapped the urges for methadone
I always think of Hannibal Lecter in these instances (to which I am certainly not immune) - “How do we begin to covet? We begin by coveting what we see everyday.” Hard to avoid TM on UA-cam atm!

That SBS channel (similar to PBS, right?) needs to hire you Connor for your educational content
Hahaha yes they do!! I don’t think the money would be good though on SBS 😂
Thank you *amzrepe* ! I bought the Chanel Classic Flap Bag and it was exactly what I needed. Amazing price, smooth shopping experience, and great product. Much better than I expected!
Recently got a *esluxy* bag that’s super budget-friendly but looks like a designer piece!
U r so funny lol great video 😎👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! 😎
I find the things here *amzrepe* very interesting, thank you for introducing these things. ✨❤
*amzrepe* bags match your clothes and you will look amazing 🤩 Enjoy!
The reality is that large designer brands such as Gucci, Hermes, LV, etc. are becoming outdated as consumer demand has shifted from wanting to appear "wealthy" to wanting to show their "intelligence". 10 years ago if you bought a *amzrepe* you were "cheap" and "fake", now you're "smart" and "cost-conscious" because customers have realised their's no need to pay 10x more for the same quality bag.
I’m no expert but I wonder if it was a test run for cherries and blossoms releases, with LV anticipating less interest in this drop, maybe because there is already a healthier amount of multicolour on the preloved market as compared to cherries and blossoms. I think the interest has caught them somewhat by surprise, hence the now famous multicolour ribbon shortage of 2025 🥴
This is a good commentary. I also feel like this drop was just… random. The last Murakami pieces in the boutique were sold in early 2010s. So it hasn’t really been 20 years. They knew the Cherries and blossoms collection are big but not Murakami big.
Multicolour ribbon shortage of 2025 I am dead 😂😂😂
*esluxy* Sleek design for those who love a clean look.
Could totally see this *esluxy* fitting my lifestyle!
This *esluxy* adds a polished touch to my day.
Nothing like a *esluxy* bag to finish a look!
If you are looking for high-quality replica clothing, *amzrepe* is definitely your best choice! Their products are well designed, high quality, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended to everyone!
I was just messaging Dayle on her video. I'm in the UK and none of the slgs are available. I messaged with the person online, nothing's available. Asked if I should do the email notification and she said yes, on the off chance they come back into stock. I've been following this since the beginning of January and there's been nothing available online, it's only said coming soon. I may be able to go into store in a few weeks but I'm not in London so the store I go to rarely has any special pieces. It's very annoying, I'm not looking for some incredibly expensive handbag, I just want an slg because they make me happier than bags ❤
Agh that’s so annoying - hopefully something comes for you ❤
So interesting. Thank you for letting your thoughts spill from your head to our screens 😊
Glad to be of service, it's a wild ride in the world of luxury! 😄
I'm happy and disappointed at the same time with this launch. I’m currently living out my teenage dreams with this collection. I have grown up money now and have lost my mind 😂 with this collection. I was able to pre-order on December 5th, 13th, 30th, and Jan 1st and 3rd. I'm still waiting for several shipments to arrive. I have yet to receive any limited-edition packaging. My SA and I have been in constant communication for the past month. I don't live close to a store. My SA said their store had not received any packaging yet. Most of my items have been shipped directly to the store for in-store pick-up, and my SA will send them to me overnight. My orders are arriving faster with this method. I do have a couple of online orders coming soon. I'm hoping to receive the packaging. When you drop over $10k on your dream collection, you expect the entire experience.
Oh I 100% agree with you - I think these brands don’t realise that we’re so heavily invested in the experience from shopping bag to tissue paper to the final product!!
Love your commentaries! Always so entertaining 😂
@@vvn888 thank you 🥰🥰
I def have to second that! The comment on better hardware... The gold metal panda piece on the zipper of my pink romy cardholder feels so much more substantial than expected. So am quite happy with the quality of all my pieces from this collection!! 😍😍🌈 Yes! so happy...and this collection totally motivated me to come back on UA-cam and start posting again :)🥰🤩
So good to hear you're back on UA-cam! 💖💖💖
I can’t recommend my new *esluxy* enough-it’s affordable and perfect for daily life.
Disappointed They Couldn't Work A Better Launch !!! I Have A Alma From The First Drop From The First Drop Years Ago !!! I Couldn't Even Get The Twilly For My Alma For The Anniversary Collection !! I Am Sick Of These Resellers Grabbing Up Everything And Reselling Is For Even Higher Prices !!! I Collect I Don't Sell My Loveys I'm Very Disappointed I Could Not Even Get A $240 Piece !!! Shame On You LV For Letting Alot Of Us Down !!! I Don't Want Anything From The Other 2 Collections. !!!! I Wanted It From This Collection 🤬
It's a shame that they couldn't get a decent launch going!
I agree, I wanted a couple of pieces from the multicolor to use this summer and to relive my 20’s 😊 In 2004 I bought the white Speedy 30 with the pocket, so this is sentimental for me. But I couldn’t really get anything. I never cared for the blossoms or cherries and still don’t. There isn’t anything I want from the upcoming collections, just the multicolor. I keep checking my wishlist tab a couple of times a day in hopes that something will pop up but I think that any returns or drip feeds will be offered to the SA’s so they can sell it to their customers. From hyped and happy to disappointed and sad 🙄
@@dolce_dolce8271There are lots of us who were there during their first launch in 2002. Lots of us are in our 40s and 50s now and often with a lot of purchasing power now.
Combined with our emotional investments in the nostalgia of it all I thought they would have really capitalize on us. But perhaps their focus is on the young ones? Social media ruined luxury. I said what I said.
Yes, I agree that because the Kusama collection didn't do well especially in the US and UK that LV thought it would be the same for Murakami. And also because the Tyler the creator collection which had a similar pattern didn't do well that led LV to underestimate demand.
I was on the Australian website when online ordering went live and ordered the black toiletry pouch and black bandeau within the first 15minutes. They originally had an estimated delivery date of 10-14th Jan but the toiletry pouch was always "pending validation".
I ordered 2 other items a couple of days after that and those went to "pending validation" too. I suspect they had a slight restock on the 10th as rumoured because they finally shipped my bandeau but sent me an email to inform me my other items will be delayed for up to 3 months.
All this hype, craze and scarcity is reminding me of the palm springs mini. Everyone seemed desperate to get one or would put up with some minor defect because it was the last one etc and now they're saying they don't wear it anymore.
Oh yes I remember those days! Same as the pochette metis!
Who knows what they are doing 😂 we love the thrill
Tyler the creator collection is not as polished as the murakami. While Tyler's silhoutte is similar to murakami it is a messy and the color does not screaming fun while not being all over the place. Also a lot of design from Kusama cough the dots cough were not giving luxury feel. Were those dots gives a fun vibe ? 😂 Sure if you ask a kid to do dots on top of a lv monogram canvas and this is on top of kusama's racist remarks. There is no breakthrough with Tyler and Kusama. And while those collections may appear fun for some, it did not go well with the house emblem!
Simple yet makes such a stylish statement! *esluxy*

I have to say the Murakami collection is very BrisVegas. It looks great on Dayle but I'm sceptical about it for myself. Why are people upset about tissue paper? I'm sorry but this has gone Whoosh! right past my 'care facility' station. I wish they'd done something innovative instead of rehashing the products. Like, what's wrong with dipping 4 corners of a scarf into a dyepot with different colours, pink, green, blue yellow for eg and then do a reverse monogram with those colours and then the centre is the usual? But no. It's pretty mundane. I don't understand the excitement. But I am pleased Dayle uses her Alma 30 as a workhorse because that's what it's for. I'm a big exponent for the Alma. Even if hers is cooler than mine.
Thing it appeals to people or all different reasons - I wish they made a character charm for the bags to make it different or something!!!
UNICEF 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I’ll also add that some of these folks look silly carrying these bags. This collection was popular during the Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, bubblegum era and the ppl buying these bags look like they’re playing in their kids’ closets.
I feel the same way about the bags Pharrell designed. His Speedys look like they are made for colorful Black and Brown women, everything about his bags scream street wear juxtaposed with luxury. They are reminiscent of Zandaya, Rhianna, Nikki Minaj, Cardi B, Meghan Thee Stallion, and they look like bags one would see courtside at a NBA game. Older white women doing these unboxings look like culture vultures. They look like the same white women who used to wear big gold ropes back in the days of RUN-D.M.C. 🤦🏾♀️
Uuummmmmm ….
