Louis Vuitton Portefeuilles en Cuir Exotique

Posting about exotic skins yesterday made desirous to feature other pieces Louis Vuitton has in their drawers. The Suhali wallets Le Somptueux (above) and Le Prodigieux (below) acquire more luxurious LVooks in crocodile skins. These are not main stream wallets since they cost an arm and a leg so you might want to call your local boutique before you rush out to get them. I'm pretty sure they are only allocated to the big stores but any boutique can order them for you. I once inquired about the Brazza in crocodile and lemme tell ya, that's one pricey wallet!

Louis Vuitton Leather Goods Shortage!!!!!

Did you know that there is a Leather Goods Shortage worldwide and you can now only buy ONE leather good per day?! Gone are the days when you can buy a matching wallet with your bag purchase. According to my sources, until the new factory in France opens, stores are instructed to only sell one item per day. The demand for LV is so high that the factories cannot keep up. This does not include RTW, sunglasses, jewellery etc... Of course, there is a loophole to this moratorium that you can purchase your second leather good the following day. I tried doing two purchases online at www.louisvuitton.com and there seem to be no problem though most of their items are out of stock. Anyone care to share their experiences lately?
