I can’t believe it’s only been about two months because the very first Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires sighting. With the amount of press, influencer marketing, as well as overall popularity, it feels like this little bag has been around for years… however it hasn’t. just let that sink in for a moment. Oh, the power of social media.
Anyway, as the Multi Pochette Accessoires made a name for itself in the handbag world, the particular style became almost impossible to purchase freely, unless you’re of influencer or star status. It sold out practically everywhere, including online as well as in almost all boutiques around the world. Yes, around the world. I even called Louis Vuitton business to confirm. (The only instance where a bag may be offered is if one is randomly returned directly to a boutique.)
That’s not to say it’s impossible to purchase, though. however you have to be prepared to pay way above market price. Currently, both Multi Pochette colors (Kaki as well as rose Clair) are offered through StockX, an online marketplace where users can buy, sell, as well as bid on bags. Take it for what you will, however the site guarantees the bags are authentic. (Many of them insurance claim the labels are still on.) Fashionphile likewise has quite a few available, priced at nearly double what Louis Vuitton originally sold the bag for ($1,640).
We do have some ~semi~ great news, though. The bag is rumored to return any type of minute now. Well, sort of. This past week, I called and/or went to all of the nearby Louis Vuitton boutiques in my area (Miami, Florida). I added my name to every waitlist (There are hundreds of names before mine though. Sigh.) as well as inquired about the bag’s long-awaited return. While no SA might provide me a definitive answer, they all said about the same thing: It ought to come back, in some sort of capacity, before or best after the new year. It’s not yet known exactly how restricted stocks will be when the bag does return, provided there are thousands of names on waitlists around the world.
Sometime in the future, Louis Vuitton business alleges the bag will ended up being part of the designer’s permanent collection. In fact, I spoke with an SA by the name of Justin H. (he wouldn’t supply his last name) who was relatively positive the bag will return sooner rather than later. However, he did mention there’s no telling exactly how difficult it will be to purchase the bag when it does return. (Think the availability of the LV fast versus a Birkin or Kelly. Yes, that’s exactly how popular this bag is.)
Here at PurseBlog, Kaitlin as well as I are both excited to purchase one of our own. Luckily, she’s in the market for the Kaki version, while I’m interested in the rose Clair. When the bag does return, extra colors are expected to ended up being offered as well.
The question is, what if the bag never completely returns? would you pay severely above market just to get yourself one? If you think about it, it is the equivalent of purchasing two (maybe three, if you count the coin case) bags for one, along with the crossbody strap. however is it worth $3,000 as well as up? provided the expense of each piece that make up the Multi Pochette Accessoires, I would have to say no… even though I really do love the overall look of it.
While this bag style is certainly not for everyone, it’s clearly a success so far, with a bright future ahead as one of Louis Vuitton’s newest “it” pieces.
