The Birkin, on the other hand, is the kind of bag whose scarcity moves it to the top of the shopping list for women who have long been buying whatever they want; gaining their attention requires different tactics than for those first entering the ranks of luxury shoppers. We reached out to Louis Vuitton for comment, but the brand declined to participate in this story. What we do know, though, is that consumer interest in Louis Vuitton, and especially in its monogram bags, has rebounded in a huge way under the leadership of creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere.
And we know that Louis Vuitton is actively looking to expand its handbag manufacturing: In October , the brand announced it would be building a new bag and luggage manufacturing center in Keene, Texas, which will open in and employ people. By all indications, the bags are selling out because people are buying them. It seems like a perfect storm of factors: demand is increasing just as Louis Vuitton has chosen to reallocate its resources in a way that constrains the supply of certain bags.
Our forum members speculate that Louis Vuitton is shifting some of its focus to its more expensive all-leather bags, and at least on the surface, this theory seems plausible—stock levels of the popular leather bags we checked are doing notably better than their monogram counterparts, although there are also inventory problems to be found among them. For instance, the just-launched Epi leather version of the Louis Vuitton Neonoe Bag is fully sold out online, although all colors were available at launch and a couple of them were still in stock as of last week.
Forum members have been floating rumors and theories, some of them heard from in-store LV associates, about looming discontinuations of popular bags and tighter stock constraints coming up. On our PurseForum, members have been documenting their problems finding general Louis Vuitton stock since early November. When you see one, you have to act quickly. If you live near a Louis Vuitton store, your luck may be a bit better, especially if you have an existing relationship with a sales associate.
In-store shoppers are given first dibs on bags that arrive in-store stock, and store associates are the ones who decide who gets on call lists and how that stock is allocated. As with any hard-to-get piece in fashion, it always pays to be a kind and loyal customer. As with all sought-after luxury goods, though, the most expedient route to getting your hands on a sold-out Louis Vuitton bag is probably to buy from a third party and pay over retail.
