Quince Try-On Haul: Building a Timeless Wardrobe!
Omg the napkins and coffee cups!!! I’m so jealous!
They’re so cute. Glad I at least got those since I didn’t get packaging.
I have a lot of thoughts. I feel like I'm watching a car crash and can't look away. It also feels like the LV higher ups are laughing all the way to the bank too! I think personally its crazy behaviour from everyone involved eg. customers. I would have probably have liked a piece from the collection (not a bag as I don't think I would know how style it and want wearable pieces) but the luxury experience is important to me as well as products and this isn't luxury. I deserve better than this as a potential customer. I'm exhausted listening to your story about how you got your pieces. It doesn't sound fun or nice. I always enjoy your unboxings so i'm glad you got it at least some part of what you wanted.
You nailed it Abigail. This was not a luxury experience. And you’re also right about LV execs laughing all the way to the bank
I only purchase few pieces from lv and the pieces I got before this drop is on the affordable side BUT my client advisor and I have a great relationship for many years even before lv as she used to work with another flagship lux fashion house. The flagship store where i lived they received the wrapper ribbon and tag. The preorder was released 2 weeks prior to the launch (preordering pieces is not just me-i want to see the items first then pay) launch day i was told most pieces were prepaid and was asked if i wanted to prepay the item. i said i will try my luck and went 5 mins after the maison open. The floor was insane. Was fortunate to get 1/2 of what I want. 20mins after the maison open and most pieces are gone. All multi color bags have been purchased. They dont do display items for this collection, not sure if that is weird. If its on the floor then you can buy it. Orders online same packaging plus stickers i think but it says while supplies last. I prefer doing it in the boutique so as to help my client advisor if she does get commission (which Im not sure if thats the case cos I didnt ask and will not) i consider my purchase a big one but then again I only purchase rarely and was not offered any drinks nor did I ask one but then again I only have like 30mins to spend in lv as I need to meet a friend afterwards. I am a vip of another lux fashion house. Is this lv launch a luxury experience my answer is no but am I happy for my purchase? Its a resounding yes! 😅
So glad you’re happy with your purchase. I agree that there was no luxury experience in this launch, even at the popup. It was way too busy for it to feel luxurious.
I don't think that having Zendaya as the face of the collection was an issue. LV would've dropped the ball regardless of who they had chosen. How could they not ensure there was enough packaging for the items that they produced? Why did they take preorders from people if they weren't actual orders? Why show the items as "Add to cart" on the website if there wasn't any stock actually available? I'm not that interested in the Murakami collection, but even just watching it from the outside is so frustrating. I feel like Loewe handles collabs much better. Every customer gets the special bags, tissue paper, boxes, etc, and Loewe even passed out free books to people who were walking by in Tokyo.
All fantastic questions. And I totally agree about Loewe. Having enough packaging seems like a simple ask.
Wow what a nightmare 😳
It was a mess
I love how you are such a confident traveler and just do your thing! Loved the video, as always!
Thanks Bridget. It was definitely more challenging in countries where English is not as prevalent (you’ll definitely see that in future videos) but we love just figuring it out and not being tied to a strict schedule
I am from Minneapolis and am not a VIC, but I am a low five figures’ client. I reached out to my CA on 11/23 and she said they “would know more” on 12/2. I did, however, give her my wish list for the black nano speedy or black accessories on 11/23 just to put it in the back of her mind. I reached out to her again on 12/4 and she told me the launch was 1/3. I asked if they were taking pre orders and she said they were on 1/1. I then received a text on launch day at 9 in the morning and she said she has the black accessories if I wanted it. I said I did, paid for it online, and then picked it up around noon. I also did not receive any packaging or even a token. I have since reached out (the evening of the 3rd) asking about ANY card holders in either the black or white multicolor but as of yet have heard nothing back - and I have texted my CA twice since 1/3. So while I was fortunate to get one piece, it was anything BUT a pleasant experience.
That’s so sad, Beth. My fingers are crossed that you get the nano speedy
I placed my preorder in early Dec. The order was received on Sat Jan 4th with all 6 items that I ordered. I was also able to order a couple of additional items on release day. Those have not been received yet. The items that I received were all wrapped with the ribbon & a panda tag hanging off of it. I’m glad I didn’t have any problems but sad that so many people didn’t have the same experience.
So glad everything worked out for you. Hope you love everything you got!
I was lucky to get my preorder filled but still very aware of the craziness! I got sucked in but can’t believe the chaos! My store was sold out so I couldn’t add if I wanted to? Hopefully they fix it for the next launch 😊
Glad you got what you preordered. Hope you love your pieces
Yes, we have no bananas.
😂
Happy New Year Lisa! What craziness, my SA called me on New Year’s Eve and texted me pictures of the things they will receive in store, and I picked out the pieces I wanted and paid for it right at the time. I picked my items up in the Short Hills Mall on Sunday, there were none of the products in store and the store did not even had any window displays. Basically customers picked up their items directly but I was not even able to look at any other items. No special packaging, I got a ribbon on one of my pieces, but that is about it. I’m glad I got the items I wanted, but it’s very strange how this launch was handled and I feel bad for the SA’s who have to deal with that underperformance of the company.
So interesting how different locations handled orders, actual launch events, packaging, etc. The whole thing is just weird. Very glad you were able to get the items you wanted!
The launch online was a dumpster fire. I was able to snag a bandeau but wanted the cardholder/coin purse. I agree about the campaign. It would have been awesome if they used a Y2K celebrity, such as Jessica Simpson. That would have been iconic. I fell in love with Louis Vuitton after seeing her Speedy she carried. Excited to see your unboxing! ❤
That would have been amazing if it was Jessica or Paris.
@@liz_sp or Paris Hilton.
Wow! Lisa, LV should give you a “super-dedicated customer” award made from their packaging material plated in gold: :)
😂🤣
Zen-day-a, the face of the collection your making almost an hour long video about.
Thank you!
Cam't wait to see an unboxing.
Hopefully soon. Fingers crossed the final piece actually comes to fruition
LV really screwed with us and I believe they did it all for hype. And we will never find out as they don’t care. In fact I’m sure nothing will change for the next two launches. I also worked too hard for getting the item that wasn’t on my list.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this was not an accident. I hope you at least love what you got!
Also why did they send out so much PR when they knew they had so many pre-orders? They also send PR in beautiful white boxes with Murakami print inside, tissue paper and special dust bags. But those of us spending thousands don’t get that?
Nope! Just the influencers. And the rest of us have FOMO
My store didn’t have the packaging either. But it came on the weekend so my CA shipped my order yesterday. I hope there’s tissue paper, ribbon panda and bag. If not I’ll ask him to send me because I spent enough money. I spent $10k, got the side trunk because it’s leather, pink Romy cardholder, multicolor cardholder and the pink leather Lisa wallet. It sure didn’t feel like a luxurious experience. My CA tells me more orders are going to open up on the 10th, I’ve also heard this from CA’s in the US.
You definitely deserve the packaging. It just boggles my mind that they ran out day 1. I know they sometimes run out of holiday packaging but that’s after many weeks. They really need to do better. You got some great pieces. Hope you love them!
@@HandbagDiva I’ve heard orders open on the 10th as well.
@CLluvsPurple I think that’s correct as it sounds like they’re fulfilling previous preorders on the 9th
Crazy!! I can’t wait to hear and find out which bag you got! My pre-orders were taken and paid for on December 5 for two bags. However, on launch day, I got an email saying that my order was shipped, and I should be receiving my bags this Friday! I can’t wait! Wonder if I’ll get any packaging…
I’m so excited for you!! I hope you love them! Definitely let me know.
Sounds really confusing, ordering shouldn’t be so hard! Seems like no one really knows what’s happening.
It was so confusing, for both clients and sales associates. Hoping they’ll do better on the next launch
Such craziness… Hope it all works out for you. I’m trying to get the Romy wallet but it won’t come to me til summer. The lady getting it is in Japan til March. So dealing with that. If I don’t get it I’m fine. It’s all that interested me. Take care 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I thought the Romy was really cute and the colors were beautiful
so i went to the rodeo location on the day it launched. while waiting in the long line i managed to get an order in for in store pickup. the order didn't make it to the store. so i had to re-purchase the item the next day when i went in to check on it. the marketing really did not match the amount of stock they actually had. i'm really confused why LV was this unprepared, since this monogram is super popular. i also question the use of zendaya. she's their biggest ambassador and would draw in more interest for those who aren't there because of nostalgia. i did get the trainers (white MC) i wanted, but i had no hope of even getting an slg or a bag. anyways the vintage market will be getting my money for the two bags i wanted from the collection. the sa gave me an unused coffee cup and i kept the napkins. anyways back to being an appreciated customer of fendi, and will dip back to LV when i want to upgrade my travel gear.
Love your attitude about the launch and the collection. Glad you were able to get your shoes. I tied them on but they looked horrible on my feet. It will be very interesting to see if any changes are made for the next drop.
@ like I am annoyed, but mostly with LV corporate, not any of the retail staff. They’d have to. I mean at the very least they pissed off quite a few of their loyal customers.
The vintage pieces have skyrocketed in price.
@ I’m going to wait until they go down again. I’ve lived without these bags for years. I can be patient
The sure have!
🍭 Lots of eye candy 👜 👛✨
There’s waaaayyy more to come!
Welcome to Tokyo!!!
Ty!
This was so much fun! I have only ever been to the airport so I love travel vlogs ❤
Glad to bring you along!
❤❤❤ Japan, so glad you’re sharing 😊 already planning to go back 😂
It was so much fun watching you & David start to explore! Was the beef good? It looked good! 🥩😋
Gwenny it was amazing. Melt in your mouth!
Thanks for bringing us along. I’m really surprised the pricing on luxury bags wasn’t better. It seems like their pricing on eBay is much better and good quality
If you’re looking for a speedy or neverfull, there are plenty at decent prices. But anything special or more of a higher priced piece to start wasn’t any great deal.
I’m assuming that is your real hair(not a wig) in this video. Your hair looks so pretty!! ❤
Nope. Human hair wig. But thank you
@ WOW!! I’m amazed! It really looks beautiful!
@Susan-kw3dt Ty
Happy New Year! So much to unpack with this whole situation. My daughters in their early 20s showed me and I saw some of it on TikTok. These holiday hauls have been going on for awhile and I think early Covid years fueled them when the kids could not be together. I’m not a fan but I guess they could be compared to luxury channel unboxings. But, the way these girls were whirling around their gifts and talking about the items it didn’t seem like there was much joy about the item itself. I think when we watch your unboxings it’s clear how excited you are about your purchases/gifts and we are excited for you. We learn a lot about the item, details and collections. I think the liability issue is real and will be interesting to see how that develops.
I’m very interested to see how this shakes out in relation to the Real Real issue. I think your theory about Covid is very valid. It was a way for them to connect.
Tokyo can be very overwhelming your first time! Do you think you’d ever want to come back to Japan? Looking forward to the rest of your vids!
Absolutely! We loved it!!
Hi Lisa, I Hope you enjoyed your trip! Hope you and your family have a very healthy, happy new year!❤
Thank you, Michelle. The same to you and yours!
my only question is why (ROTFL)
Glad I could make you chuckle!
Great video Lisa. I do have to say it’s too peoplely for me. I’d be scared to just roam around there. The streets and sidewalks looked so clean though. Anyway thanks for sharing. David seems to know his way around there. I do think the bags were overpriced and that picotin was not worth what they wanted for it. If I were you I’d buy brand new but did you say you were looking to score something vintage. Like that black Kelly you showed? But it didn’t have the strap because of being vintage. I’d have to have a strap. You take care. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Tokyo is definitely a huge city. I think it’s double the population of NYC (I think we actually discuss it in a later video). It’s extremely clean. There actually are no garbage cans. People have to take their trash home with them. And yes, I was definitely looking for vintage pieces. A lot more shopping to come in future videos.
Its super safe in Japan, if you drop something, someone will chase after you to return it! Or you can check the lost and found if you are in a department store and chances are someone has handed it in. I felt super safe there. Only thing to really avoid are the trains during peak hours.
@WyeChengChong-ql7lr omg the trains were insane. I have never been in a train as packed in like that in NYC. It’s like they don’t even care that people are packed like sardines. Crazy!!
New subscriber ❤ thank you for taking us along looks amazing I hope to get to Japan one day in the near future!
Thanks for subscribing!! It was incredible!
i think 3500 is the retail price of the picotin. idk it might just be exposure, but whenever i see resale stores stocked with hermes bags i just wonder how low of stock does Hermes itself actually have? looks fun though. I really need to go back to Japan. I went as a kid.
Oh just wait! There are many, many more vintage stores coming. There were so many in fact, I actually stopped filming as it was getting really overwhelming
@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle yeah it seems to be the place you go for vintage.
Flying long distances is an endurance test. Forgot because its been so long. Don't know how you manage to calculate how much you'll save if you purchase it in Paris or Tokyo. My feelings are a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. If the bag is in my hands, you'll have to get a crowbar to get it loose (hahahahahah). It's just me but Good on you for being so practical. Take care & Happy New Year, - Lori 😂🤣😆😅
Happy new year to you, too, Lori! If it’s a piece that’s a one of a kind, I wouldn’t wait to buy. But anything else, I would definitely wait to save 30%!! But I totally get the bird in the hand feeling. 😂
@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle Yes, you are practical and I do see the 30% savings being a big draw. Enjoy your travels. - Lori
@WilliamTownsend-w1f Ty!
So many topics raised by this. One hopes age brings clarity - "hauls" or purchases serve inspiration and information to older viewers who want to be fashion forward or at least appear more modern despite aging and shows options that they may not be aware of. It is not appropriate for the young, leads to low self-esteem in those who cannot afford, and they have less maturity to understand that is should not be the norm for them. It is no wonder that in certain demographics, debt is increasing along with these pressures to keep up with peer groups. Secondly, as regards to the RealReal, I run a shredding company, and we do quarterly pick-ups for them of items that need to be destroyed. Like FashionFile, they authenticate carefully all the products they sell. While no company is perfect which is why independent authentication services exist, bearing in mind the video had so many fakes which she admitted in the second video, I would be surprised if this did not lead to a case for libel as the resale industry relies on trust.
Thanks for sharing the shredding information. As you said, no company is perfect but their statements implied widespread and knowingly selling fakes.
You looks so beautiful and gorgeous  good luck
Happy New Year 2025 I really like the videos on your RUclips channel you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs in the world.
That’s very sweet. Ty
@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle Welcome dear if you allow I would like to say something about your RUclips channel
Love Airfrance ❤❤❤ we’re flying to Bangkok with them at the end of February ❤
We enjoyed our flights with them but I will say Singapore Air blew them out of the water with their service
If kids see all these adults doing luxury hauls and unboxings and getting thousands of views and profiting from these videos, it’s no surprise that they would aspire to do the same with as early a head start as possible, capturing an audience their own age to grow with their channel. It comes off as hypocritical as bottle-clinging parents telling their kids not to drink.
I absolutely see your point and it’s why I asked the question about whether there is a distinction or not. Thx for sharing.
There are a lot of studies at this point about how the human brain processes social media interaction and there are a few key "take aways" that I think are good to be generally aware of; 1) It seems like we don't "register" what we post as interacting with other people. Meaning we're willing to be ruder to each other and more outlandish because we're not perceiving posting on the internet as the same as having a conversation with someone. 2) When consuming media on the internet we DO "register" it as a social interaction. Meaning when we watch a video, or read an e-mail, our brain does recognize that as a social interaction between two human beings. Taking these two points into account, you can then see the negative feedback loop / spiral that can happen; We will say anything we impulsively feel like AT people, but then they respond we take their response more literally/personally. But to them, the responder, you made the personal "attack" first and their response, to them as they are writing it or filming it, does not "register" as personal now because they are the one posting at you.
And one more bit to add on /consider; the more you consume social media in a day, the more your brain feels like it has socialized with other people. Meaning if you consume a lot of social media, your brain may feel like it's done "enough" human interaction for the day and so you might then not actually feel motivated to reach out and contact your friends / go meet family somewhere for dinner. This was first noticed with "Muckbangs" from Korea; people watching people eat, or eating while watching another person eat, stimulated their brain as if they were sitting down at the table with their family. So we are "smart enough" to know that posting on the internet is just yelling into the void (more or less) but when watching content / consuming media content from the internet our brains are mis-filing it as equivalent to real-world experiences.
Happy New Year 🎆 Beautiful gifts 💕
Thank you!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! I'm having menopausal issues (and a lifetime of being a salon blonde) with my hair and now it's breaking, shedding, and damaged. I can't grow it out and I miss my long hair. I'm getting a crown! Seeing another professional woman (I'm a professor) rocking them, like you do, has convinced me. Are your top companies Chelsey Smith and Belle Tress? I'm looking at the Dakota from CS (sold out right now) but I'm open to long-hair, blonde suggestions with moveable part ability. Thanks again for sharing so openly and educating us.
You are so welcome! I would steer you away from belle tress. I love the look of them but I realize now they tangle horribly. All heat friendly wigs will tangle due to friction. With your clothing but the BT wigs seem to get crazy tangled and within minutes of wearing them. If you want synthetic, I’d stick with Chelsey smith to start. They are budget friendly and good quality in my mind. I honestly don’t think spending $300+ on a synthetic wig is worth it (now saying that know that I only have experience with BT as a higher priced version). I’d personally spend the extra money and get a human hair wig. I’d say start with CSC and get accustomed to wearing them and then maybe move into human. I just found a fantastic source for European human hair wigs that is very reasonable. Happy to share if/when you’re interested.
@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle thank you! For the price of CSC, I don't mind synthetic...especially since I have to get used to them. But I'm definitely interested in human hair, too, if it's reasonably priced and ethically-sourced. Please share the European source when you're able. Thanks a million!
Ok....I would throw my (grown) daughter on the floor before I throw 20,000 (at least) worth of bags on the floor!😂😂😂😂 I'm just kidding .....
Side note: your hair looks gorgeous! 😍
Ty!💜
She is trying to cover it up?🤔Your hair looks so cute!!! 🥰
Ty!
Hi Lisa. Just a queation that popped into my head. Is it possible for these social media platforms to require disclosure of not authentic items? Is that something that social media platforms can legally require?
That would be amazing! Can you imagine how large a percentage of it all would be fake?! I think it would be huge. But sadly they’d all plead ignorance and say they bought it pre-loved. 🙄
I’m not sure but a good question. I do know RUclips will take down videos if they think you’re showing fake items.
That’s so sad to think about
I think the thing that surprised me the most is why do people care? 😂😂
Actually a great question
