I have an obsession with miniatures. For my normal bottles of perfume, I will actually try to find a miniature to match it. I've bought Christmas cards from Crane & Co. where I bought these mini note cards 'cause they were like the little brother of the original size cards. Yes, it's a sickness, but I'm always on the lookout for cool miniatures.
When LV showed some prototype minis of their purses on their runway a couple of years ago, I was DYING, 'cause they had little cherries on them to match their then current Monogram Cerises collection. Sadly, LV opted not to make them, so I was stuck with just magazine cut-outs, but not the real thing.
Some people are selling these minis on Ebay, and dammit, I just refuse, ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to be ripped off by these scalpers. Ladies, if you were on the lookout like I was, now is your chance to be the proud owner! I called 1-866-VUITTON last Friday and put in an order for the mini Speedy! There are only a few left in the country, so if you call now, you might still have a chance to own one of these babies. I was told that they made them to celebrate an event at the Paris store. In total, there were 6 designs. They are:
Miniature Monogram
Speedy - $965
Lockit - $1,120
Steamer - $1,330
Miniature Nomade
Speedy - $965
Lockit - $1,120
Steamer - $1,330
Look at the comparison between the mini and real thing. Just even from these pics, the craftsmanship is amazing. I can't wait until mine arrives!!! Someone online is also selling a Multicolore version, but I don't know the retail price, so if you want to get that one, you might also want to ask LV. I was told that the Steamer was already sold out, but all I wanted was the Speedy, since I actually OWN one, and it's so definitive of the classic LV. Good luck!!!
Monogram Speedy 25, $595
Nomade Lockit, $2,200
