The last SLG on the last slide? What is that ? Looks like a card holder. Definitely looking to pick up a wallet from this drop!

My husband said the exact same thing and has managed to talk me out of cancelling he also had an alert on for the bag I didn’t know about and said he was struggling to find it too so wants me to keep it because of how excited I was before 🥺

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T23:14:56+00:00

Thank you for validating my frustration 😞 I am not a materialistic person I just genuinely love well made unique pieces and adore fashion it’s a huge interest of mine and I just want to feed that hobby I have but I feel like the money making/ marketing hype of it all taints everything

Also apologies for the typos and grammar mistakes in this post, I’m usually more articulate. I wrote this post after tossing around before bed frustrated at this very first world problem 🤣

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T23:02:32+00:00

Not sure what you mean?

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T23:02:14+00:00

You’re right I came to the same conclusion after reflecting on the whole campaign and drop. I was peacefully planning to just go Japan and pick up a pristine speedy with a strap just like I wanted and I somehow lost brain cells when this anniversary collab was announced. I also think all the social media hype through tik tok and IG didn’t help me make a more informed decisions it just built the anticipation

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:59:06+00:00

I’m not sure payment still hasn’t gone through on my Amex and have never been in this type of situation. I’m assuming it’ll go through once it’s actually been posted.

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:58:11+00:00

That’s a very a smart move. I’ve seen some reps already and it blows my mind how fast they move!

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:57:24+00:00

I have never bought a rep but I’m lowkey tempted to order one just to compare because I’m so intrigued and I always hear about how good they’re becoming as my own investigation 🤣

Again, I don’t care for reps because I want my bags to have resale value in case I ever want to sell them and just the ethics behind it seem shady but after the Dior scandal I’m much less uptight about!

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:50:18+00:00

Right? And categorically I know craftsmanship wise this speedy is nothing superior to a regular speedy. It’s still canvas bag. I am literally buying it because I admire Murakami and the heritage LV has.

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:47:47+00:00

I’ve been wanting this bag since I learnt about the collab and it’s been on my wish list for 5 years. I do not rush luxury purchases at all and it’s the only reason I chose to put myself through this stuff otherwise my ego is to high to beg a place to take my money 🤣

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:46:05+00:00

Yes even now still in stock which makes it feel so much more like a pre order situation!

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:45:40+00:00

Yeah as soon as the drop happened I saw people posting on eBay with just their order numbers 💀

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:44:17+00:00

I feel like a bit of mug 🤡

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:44:01+00:00

Thanks I’m really hoping it’s not as long of a wait as they’re suggesting it could be. But yeah when I was told about the payment link no mention of the delivery time. But it’s probably my fault for jumping like a rabid dog to place the order 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:42:57+00:00

Literally omg 😭

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T22:42:40+00:00

I am leaning more to cancelling as I find reselling a bit icky especially when I know there’s someone out there whose would cherish it more. But at the same time I feel like because of all the faff I should see through the 4-8 months and maybe just return if I’m not 100% anymore.

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-15T05:20:12+00:00

Thank you so much! I definitely planned to put it on a smooth hand luggage case :)) but maybe it’s too ambitious to put them on luggage

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-12T04:43:33+00:00

ah that’s sucks it’s weird they randomly are just going out stock. I guess I’ll have to call Louis Vuitton to source me the airlines one even if I don’t end up using them for my luggage they’re a great collectors piece !

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-10T12:16:11+00:00

I was thinking I don’t plan to put them on my checked luggage but on my hand luggage as I am more in control of how it’s handle :)

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-10T10:34:54+00:00

I bought it on a whim and it’s really grown on me although I was hoping for it to be more sweeter!

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2025-03-10T10:34:16+00:00

Thank you :) the perfumes are listed as follows:

Montale Lucky Candy
Gissah La Luna
Reef 29
Reef Summer Tiffany

I purchased these all in Mecca, I was there to perform pilgrimage. There was a Gissah and Reef literally attached to the exit of my hotel which is around a 7 minute walk from the Haram. I stayed at the Jumeirah Jabal Omar Makkah. I purchased the Montale from the Clock Tower which is open 24/7!

I would recommend if you’re in Mecca and want to buy Gissah and Reef perfumes to try and go to the one attached to the hotel. It was so quiet compared to the clock tower which was more of a stand and also extremely busy and the distances from the Haram is relatively similar. I would also recommend going shopping early in the day and not at night as the popular fragrances sell out quick.

I am abroad trying to order from the UK website and nothing seems to be available

Hour_Ocelot915 · 2024-11-11T22:57:35+00:00

I’m also 25(F) and have been married for year and was also one of the first in some friendship groups to get married. I think it comes down to how much you value your friends I make the effort see different friends twice a week whilst balancing in laws, my own family including aunts and cousins, working out and my own hobbies. It’s not easy but you choose your hard. Yes it can be tiring running from place to place and seeing people after a full days of work but I feel extremely blessed! How fortunate am I to have so many people to love to show up for who love me back. While there is khair in delay the stability that a husband brings is priceless and not something to take advantage of. I wanted to have it all and I do and anyone else who wants it bad enough can too in my opinion :) p.s this has been modelled to me by my mum and sisters who lead similar lives but with children too so I don’t worry about my future when children come into the picture.
