my LV holy grails

some would think that i should be very satisfied with my LV collection. but there are still those very elusive pieces that i just have to have. the harder they are to get, the more i want them. here are the top 4 pieces on my LV dream list. some are almost impossible to get, but miracles do happen.

Monogram Graffiti Keepall in khaki:

i wasn't interestd in them when they first came out in 2000, thinking it was tantamount to sacrilege of an established classic. i also thought the graffiti print was too fleeting i totally dismissed it as another short-lived trend. years later i realized i was sooooooo wrong! i totally get it now. compared to the extremely trendy pieces that they have made since then - Rob Wilson flouro, the Thedas, etc. - the Monogram Graffiti has now become a collector's must-have. especially now that the artist Stephen Sprouse has passed away.

Conte De Fees Beggar's bag:

i thought this collaboration with Julie Verhoeven was amazing! probably the most imaginative runway piece LV has produced so far. i appreciate the hard work put into designing and producing these bags. and i just love the idea of showcasing all of Vuitton's materials in a very retro 70's feel. the Beggar's bag model is extremely rare. i heard only a hundred were made in each of the 3 colourways made. besides the khaki pictured, there's also black mono satin and a grey mini mono and each colour has a different patchwork image. unfortunately, Australia only got one of each and i missed out. i want it so much, i don't mind begging! ~lol~

LV DouDou Mono Velour Teddybear:

i rang my LV boutique as soon as i saw the runway photos, i desperately wanted one that i just have to inform them of my serious interest. initially, i was told that it won't be produced. that it was just a runway novelty. i was a bit deflated, thinking it was such a cute idea and a definite collector's investment piece. but when it was confirmed that it will indeed be produced, i was told that the bear would have problems with Australian quarrantine because of the traditional woodshave stuffing it contains. but for approx AU$1600++ i was more than willing put out. but as fate would have it, it wasn't meant to be. now it is commmanding double or triple price on eBay. but i will remain optimistic.

Monogram Tapis (carpet) Cabas:

to me it's the ne plus ultra of all the men's Vuitton bags to date. this AU$20,000 (approx.) bag is impossibly unattainable for mere mortals like me. but it was love at first sight. i have been told that the carpet material was hand-knotted in Turkey and is trimmed in brown ostrich trim. only one of these bags made it to Australia. my SA told me it was a very rich couple ordering it as a graduation present for their daughter (that bitch!) grrr..... i'd swap my entire LV collection for one of this. it'll be my signature bag for life.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Actually in relation to the Conte De Fees Beggar's bag, have you checked out the my poupette sellers on ebay?
I live in Sydney so it's pain getting my hands on limited editions.
I've seen the musette from one of the sellers I've purchased from,
