Louis Vuitton Monogram Groom

[pigleto972001]

Hey, dunno if we started talking about these already...they're the newest line for Vuitton, supposedly limited edition. They've been flying off the virtual rack at eluxury.com. Has anyone gotten any? (i just ordered the pochette cles myself )

only good links are to ebay... for pics.

here's one from the baghag.blogspot.com:

interestingly, if you scroll down the page there's a pic of the miroir line and the leopard/embossed/mini lin. There's even a 220000 solid gold brick clutch

Thanks for letting us know.

yer welcome ! try out eluxury.com, i've seen the red striped wallet on elux intermittently today (just go to new arrivals in the vuitton section). the prices are 200 for the pochette cles, 245 for the round coin purse, around 595 for the wallet and the agenda cover, and i think over 600 for the passport cover.

I'm so glad that someone started a thread on this! I just got my first LV and its the monogram groom wallet. It's gorgeous and I love carrying it.

 

[shoexgal]

It is the red one...hehehe. I posted pictures under the wallets thread.

that's great! i love the wallet (didn't have the cash for it though )

my pochette is coming via fedex in a few days

I really love this collection. So cute. I looked at elux and could only see the coin purse though?!

nevermind, I just checked, it's all up now. I really like the agenda but I like the blue stripe as opposed to the red stripe. What to do....what to do. Maybe just get the coin purse instead?

okay the LV site UK has all the stuff available for purchase and I don't know which to get!! help me!

edit: okay I was so excited about this collection that I posted three posts in a row (but i've merged them now). Anyway on the UK website, you could only get the agenda in yellow and I really didn't like it yellow. So I tried to phone the shop closest to me (London City Royal Exchange) but instead got through to the UK customer service. Anyway, she was like - we don't give out numbers to the stores! wtf Anyway, I couldn't resist. I got the agenda in red. It's just too cute. I PROBABLY would get more use out of a wallet or something, but I already have a cute little change purse that I bought like two weeks ago. And I really need to start using an agenda. So hopefully it will all work out. But you have to buy the refills separately. Which I did so I'll try and find something cheap for the rest of 2006. Anyway, I should get it next week sometime! Will try and take pics!

okay I'm going to stop harrassing this thread soon! But I just saw on ebay a groom agenda in blue! I didn't even know it came in blue as I haven't seen it anywhere else. argh. I quite like the 'pop' of the red but the blue is so pretty. Not sure whether it's worth it to see if I can cancel my order and get the blue instead....

 

[Meg]

Okay update #3. I went to the LV store nearest me to check out the colors in person and I am going to stick with the red. They only had the red and yellow agenda in stock but I compared it with the blue change purse. The stripe with the red is more white and the stripe with the blue is more cream and ultimately I just find the red a bit more classic. I'm somewhat on the fence about getting a wallet as well but it's just too much me thinks.

Here are some more pics:

tra la la la la...I clearly have this thread all to myself and I am obsessed! There is also a bandana/scarf with this collection, which is currently available on the LV UK website (wasn't this morning but is now). Anyway I just wanted to vent some minor frustration over refills! Since the agenda doesn't come with any I was like yeah I guess I will get the refills, how much are they? And the woman said 33 pounds so I was like fine, whatever. But now looking around there are a lot of refill options and they are a lot cheaper in NA! I wish I had just been wise enough to hold off a wee bit and investigate first. Or the girl on the phone had said there were day/week options. Oh well. I have been monitoring the stuff selling on the LV UK website (namely because I am a LOSER ) but a lot of stuff that was there this morning is gone now. From what I've read on other forums though, stuff SHOULD be replenished. We'll see!

 

[augustus]

I am so intriguted by the travel organizer...! Is it big to hold your stuff? I have never seen the passport holder though....

 

[pigleto972001]

hi meg!

a. you're not a loser
b. congrats on the agenda! i have a bad feeling that i'll want to get the blue zip wallet after i get my grubby hands on that pochette.
c. thanks for keeping this thread active

i like the green organizer too, but it's just a bit too pricey for me at the mo...

 

[Meg]

pigleto! Nice to see you back. I think the green organizer is quite large. I was sucked into the purse forums because they were discussing the Groom collection in the LV area there and one woman returned it because it was simply too large. It's meant to hold a passport if that gives an idea of the size. Yeah I really like the blue zip as well, and could prob. stretch to it but do I really need two pieces from the same collection? I feel like I should just save my money.

It's weird - people keep saying the red agenda sold out the quickest but I can't seem to see the blue anywhere. oh well!

 

[pigleto972001]

thanks, meg! i love that agenda in red. the color just jumps out at you. i'm trying hard not to buy the blue zip wallet one piece from the collection should be enough, right? i think hopefully the pochette will tide me over until the miroir collection comes out in december

the little groom guy is so cute though my brother still thinks the murakami panda is cuter (i am kind of divided).

the passport agenda looks like it'd be great for travel more than everyday use. a friend of mine unhelpfully pointed out that you can never have too many wallets! (and it's a guy too ). the trouble is, i have a blue jean hermes epsom wallet that's been getting shelf time since i got my marc jacobs clutch.

I'm a new proud mamma of the pochette cles. Bought it a week ago, it's my new baby. Soooooo cute!

 

[shoexgal]

i love this line because you know there arent any fakes out there. its all LV baby. And the paint has been coated 10 times over the wallet so no chipping!

 

[Meg]

I thought it was 12?! They were supposed to have improved on the silk screening process so that it will last longer. I personally prefer the Groom to the Panda....I don't know. I think it just depends on your style.

Roberta - do you have any pics?

I'm eagerly awaiting my agenda. I hope it arrives today!

 

[Meg]

Arg, my Agenda is at the fedex depot here. The guy from there just called saying they don't have my full address but he will try and get it out to me this afternoon. I really hope it comes and then I will take pics!

by the way shoexgal - which wallet(s) did you decide to keep?!

 

[Meg]

Okay sorry, I know about 90% of posts in here are by me but anyway!! I received my agenda!!! Yay! It's darling. My one concern is the clasp on it. There looks to be a small scuff right in the centre of the 'button' and it makes a wee bit of a rattling sound if you shake it when the clasp is closed. I don't know if this is normal for LV agendas and the scuff doesn't really bother me that much but I don't know if I'm being pedantic. And I don't really want to go through the hassle of returning it. I will take pics tonight and want your feedback!!

 

[RobertaCastello]

Hey Meg! I'll taKe some sot of it today to post!
