The much anticipated Louis Vuitton Miroir line was released on December 1st but what i’d really like to know is exactly how many of you have managed to get your hands on one? For those of you who have tried, how hard was it?

The Miroir line is a Limited Edition collection of the classic shape LV bags (Alma, Keepall, Speedy, Pochette and Papillion) but in flashy, completely over the top, silver or gold. What you get for the price is PVC, not leather. This highly coveted line has been released in a season where metallics are right on trend and this is certainly a very trendy collection. LV have managed to create serious exclusivity with this new offering but do any of these bags have the longevity of the classic LV prints you’ll still be carrying around when you’re sixty? Or does that not matter?

I’m not sure of the exact number of Miroir bags that were made but i’ve heard that some Louis Vuitton stores have literally only received one of each, which has left die hard LV fans reeling. To make matters worse a relatively large number have appeared on eBay being flipped for a hefty profit. Some ‘designer bag resellers’ make a great living on eBay by taking full advantage of the economics of supply and demand. Is this just good business sense or is it greedy and on some level, immoral? When it comes to Limited Edition lines wouldn’t it be nice if an ‘only one per customer’ rule applied. Although it wouldn’t stop the very determined it could deter some resellers from buying in bulk purely to sell on for double the price once the supply has dried up. I’d love to know your thoughts on this range…yay or nay? Worth the dollars? Photographs courtesy of eBay:
