You never won’t to leave home without it!Although it has not been officially and publicly confirmed whether Louis Vuitton burns their unsold products, it is certain that they do destroy unsold merchandise. It’s been reported that employees who encounter defective or irreparable merchandise will cut the items into tiny pieces so that they’re completely trashed and destroyed. A common cause of defective merchandise is the use of display models in boutiques.

As painful as it is to imagine beautiful Louis Vuitton merchandise being destroyed, it is a reality. As far as destroying the merchandise by burning it, Louis Vuitton has yet to confirm or deny the allegation, but the rumor is well known in the fashion industry and amongst collectors. Hopefully, Louis Vuitton will follow other brands and utilize an eco-friendly method to up-cycle unsold merchandise in the future.

Burning unsold merchandise is not an uncommon theme in the luxury fashion industry. The bizarre notion was exposed in 2018 when Burberry made headlines for the accusation. It was revealed that Burberry set fire to 36 million dollars worth of unsold merchandise at the end of 2017.Employees are instructed to sell the display model first and replace it with a fresh bag from the back stock, but this can be problematic. Someone paying thousands of dollars for a bag may not be happy receiving the display model (understandably) and if this occurs often the display model would end up sitting on the shelf for lengths of time, exposing it to color changes from the lighting and wear and tear from being handled by customers. Eventually, the display models’ fate would end up being destroyed if the condition noticeably deteriorates, or sold at a discounted rate to a staff member.

Another reason LV destroys its’ unsold products is to prevent theft. If there was a stockpile of LV merchandise stored in a warehouse somewhere it would be a target for thieves – considering one bag can be worth multiple thousands of dollars, a warehouse full of merchandise would be extremely valuable and a definite target. So as a method of loss prevention, Louis Vuitton proactively destroys unsold merchandise.This is to maintain the level of exclusivity the brand is known for and to drive demand. Louis Vuitton bags cost thousands, and even if you can afford one you can’t always purchase one at a whim because popular styles are usually sold out. This creates a level of desirability and keeps fans interested because once a style does come back in stock there’s less hesitation to add to cart.

The main reason Louis Vuitton destroys unsold merchandise every year is to prevent price reductions and theft. LV is adamant that all their customers pay full price for their products and you will never find authentic, new Louis Vuitton merchandise on sale. If you come across discounted LV products, they are either fake or pre-loved.

The discovery garnished a lot of backlash for its damaging effects on the environment and overall wasteful nature. The company, feeling the negative pressure, vowed to end the practice and said that going forward they would focus on recycling the unsold materials in order to be more eco-friendly. The fiasco led many industry professionals and luxury lovers to wonder whether other brands like Louis Vuitton participated in the same fiery destruction method. Sales and discounts are non-existent in the world of Louis Vuitton – unless you are an employee of the company. Unsold and defective merchandise is added to an employee website and sold at heavily discounted prices. Some limited edition and exotic styles can be quite pricy even after a large markdown, so if there are still products left over they are then destroyed. This destruction method also prevents the over-saturation of products on the market. A product that is difficult to obtain becomes more valuable in the eyes of the customer and keeps the products flying off the shelves when they do go back in stock. Scarcity is one of Louis Vuitton’s key marketing tactics to maintain demand, find out more about ‘why Louis Vuitton is always out of stock’ in this blog.The Galliera bag saved the life of the woman and her baby.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you buy Louis Vuitton bags for the best prices:I am starting up the list of the discontinued LV bags with the bag that in a way inspired this blog post. LV’s Pallas Clutch has been long on my wishlist. For a while, I wanted to add a compact and functional bag to my collection. The Pallas Clutch can be worn four ways: as a shoulder bag, a crossbody, a wristlet and a hand-held clutch. It has enough space to fit in an iPhone, a smaller wallet or a card case, and few other essentials. In addition, the bag’s unique design of Monogram Canvas with supple grained cowhide leather makes it a stylish choice for day-to-evening wear. Now when the Pallas Clutch has been discontinued, the only way to buy it is by going the pre-loved route. I have managed to find the bag in excellent condition both on Fashionphile and Vestiaire Collective.

I think it was around $1,500. Actually, there are multiple Tivoli PM bags available through Fashionphile right now and all are priced under $1,000 (also in very good condition). I think a fair price to pay through the pre-loved market would be within $800 and a $1,000. Hope this helps!A bag that in a way was very similar to the Louis Vuitton Odeon was Louis Vuitton Bloomsbury. LV Bloomsbury was first released in 2009. The bag was crafted in Damier Ebene canvas and was available in two sizes: PM and GM. The Bloomsbury could be worn as a shoulder bag and as a crossbody. As of now the bag is discontinued. Bloomsbury GM isn’t very easy to come by on the pre-loved market. However, I did manage to find several of these bags in the PM size on Rebag and Fashionphile.

The bag from Louis Vuitton that was very popular back in early 2000’s is the Trouville. This bag was known as a smaller version of the Deauville Vanity Case. It featured a washable interior with several compartment pockets. The Trouville was a favorite bag of many. People loved it for its practicality and functionality. Furthermore, the Trouville bag was available in both Classic Monogram and Multicolor Monogram canvas. I was able to find several LV Trouvilles for sale on theRealReal. However, one particular thing that I’ve noticed is that the pre-loved bag in Multicolor Monogram canvas is slightly more expensive than the bag in Classic Monogram.

The bag that has long been among some of the most popular bags by Louis Vuitton was the Delightful tote. The Delightful was first introduced in 2010 as a part of LV’s Pre-Fall Collection. Delightful could hold a lot of things and this is why many considered it a great alternative to the Neverfull bag. LV Delightful came in three sizes: PM, MM and GM. The bag featured a striped lining interior, a D-ring and golden brass hardware details. The Delightful was available in Monogram and Damier Ebene canvas. In 2017 it was announced that the Delightful bag is to be discontinued and replaced by a new bag called Graceful. You can still find the Delightful on the pre-loved market. Both Fashionphile and Vestiaire Collective have several of these bags for sale at the moment.

A few days ago, I was browsing over my designer bag wishlist and noticed that one bag from it just recently got discontinued. It was the Pallas Clutch by Louis Vuitton. For a moment it made me really sad as I was planning to get this bag on my next trip to Paris and now it’s not going to happen. However, then I caught myself thinking about all other bags that have been recently discontinued by Louis Vuitton. In this blog post, I will do my best to walk you through them and see if they are still possible to find on the pre-loved market.Hi, Patrice! Thanks for your comment. The bag on the model is indeed mentioned, it’s the Louis Vuitton Retiro in classic LV Monogram. In 2015, Louis Vuitton has updated the look of the bag and released the NM (new model) Retiro. However, as of today, all of them got discontinued.

I really want an Eva Clutch but all the ones I’m seeing for resale all have date codes after 2010 and selling for over $1000. Were these bags still produced after 2010?The Eva Clutch by Louis Vuitton was popular for a very long period of time. So, for many it was a big surprise when the bag got discontinued. The Eva Clutch used to come in all three iconic Louis Vuitton prints: the Monogram Canvas, Damier Ebene and Damier Azur. I think the major reason for why the bag got discontinued was the fact that at the time Louis Vuitton had several similar bags in their line. Eva Clutch, Favorite MM and Pochette Felicie had all something in common: similar size and functionality. If you are want the Eva Clutch, the good news are that the bag is still freely available on the pre-loved market. For example, this Eva Clutch which is now on sale on Fashionphile, is in excellent condition and has a price tag of less than a $1000. And this is just one example. Hi Joan! Many thanks for your feedback. I highly appreciate it! Yes, it looks like the Totally has been discontinued. So, I am afraid you will have to use your store credit on something else. I guess, the only way to get the bag now is through the pre-loved market. You should totally call the store! I’ve shopped at LV through the phone numerous times. It was never a problem getting things shipped to me. Or, alternatively, you could also try to arrange an in-store pickup.The Retiro was a bowling style everyday bag by Louis Vuitton. Initially, Retiro was introduced in two sizes: PM and GM. The bag came in classic LV Monogram. It featured gold-tone hardware, suede interior and had an adjustable shoulder strap. In 2015 the style was updated and the new edition was called Louis Vuitton Retiro NM, where NM stands for “new model”. However, it seems that today all three options of the bag got discontinued. Nonetheless, you can still find Louis Vuitton Retiro on the pre-loved market. Many are currently listed for sale on Fashionphile.

It also appears that the Louis Vuitton Odeon has been discontinued. The bag used to come in classic LV Monogram and was available in three sizes: PM, MM and GM. The LV Odeon was a very versatile everyday bag. The long leather shoulder strap that the bag came with allowed to wear it both on the shoulder and as a crossbody. You can still find all three versions of the Odeon bag on the pre-loved market. Check out this Louis Vuitton Odeon PM in a very good condition that I found on Fashionphile.Curious to know what the retail price of the tivoli pm was before it got discontinued?
