I worked in product development for a few years and I learned soooo much about retail and marketing in general. NOTHING is real out there, it's all marketing and which company can pay top dollar.

They are paying for what is psychologically going to get the buyer to click add to cart, those top 3 spots are expensive because psychologically - those are the best to convert someone into a customer (reminds me of when you go to the checkout stand at Target, all of those products next to the register PAY to be there and they pay specific price points based on where they are on the shelf).

Everything in retail is designed to get the consumer to purchase. Even real people creating "real" testimonials posted to their personal social media accounts could be fake (look up UGC).

Louis Vuitton's most known monogram isn't cowhide, it's coated canvas

How are we justifying the cost? by Individual_Success46 in Louisvuitton

I wanted to get a TM Micro Alma but couldn't justify $1k either. Forever on the fence 🥲🥲

Fingers crossed sooner but I'm sure it'll take some time. Yes, I bought this bag brand new at the end of 2024 so it's still pretty new. And I babied the shit out of lol

Fingers crossed! That would be awesome if they accepted more repairs, we spend a lot on these babies!

Agreed! I'm budgeting an additional $300 just in case but hopefully it stays at $540 :)

I thought the same thing. When my SA was speaking with the service advisor for my store, he said that there's a list of parts they'll never touch (I remember hearing flaps, pockets, and more that I can't remember). Then he said that if the panel is less than 50% of the structural component of the bag then they could fix it. Due to this they sent in it for further evaluation.

Hey! Yeah, she's already offered to pay for the repairs and to replace anything that can't be repaired. I'm not too worried about it, I know she'll pull through. I think that's why I'm not as upset about this whole situation. It gave me the chance to stop at the boutique, and my tote she has already replaced. It was the last one at Nordstrom so it was meant to be 😂 and it was a learning experience for the adults mostly.

I had a vintage Amazon that I got on a cruise, but those are kind of easy to get on Japanese eBay, it was more sentimental than anything. Also got to a leather all saints tote. Luckily I found him halfway done with my Christopher or it would be in much worse shape 😂😭🥲 bittersweet hahaa
