Some time ago I got LV Murakami collection shoes and I love them. I wanted to buy a matching Pochette - I even ordered one when the collection dropped but the waiting time was unbelievable and after few month my financial situation drastically changed so I had to cancel the order. But I was keeping an eye on the used once.
Last year I happened to fall in love with Trouville when I went into a used luxury resale store in Rome. I have seen it on the photoes and it didn’t do much for me. But when I saw it on the shelf - that was a match. And then I learned that there is Murakami Version. And it took my breath away.
And I feel like I got a little reward for all the difficulties I went through these last years as all over sudden I spotted this bag but it looked so bad in the photos - I contacted the seller and asked for more photos in a different light and they seemed much better. The seller was very nice and agreed to my “shame” bid but warned there will be no return option. I was fine with that deal.
And yesterday night I go to track my order and it shows that it was delivered to my home and someone named Ebba received it. We just moved to the village a week ago and I don’t know anyone here. So today I drive around (in Sweden countryside houses are quite spread apart from each other) knocking on peoples doors asking if they know someone named Ebba 🙈
The seller was very supportive, they said if the package was lost or not delivered to me they would initiate the investigation and I will get my money back (which still was a significant amount for me) but I wanted the bag.
After a number of dialogs and no one knowing a person named Ebba (and there are like 125 people in this village) the best solution I have left is to go to the village store, as I learn that there is a DHL point there. And yes, it was there. The new driver could not find the address and just dropped it off without bothering to actually report that it was not home delivered.
The level of stress I had was matched with the level of relief. And happiness
My partner said that the bag is gorgeous and I feel so too
