My friend got the bag for me yesterday…his boyfriend is taking it home to manila tomorrow. He says there is a small scratch on the bag…quite worried about it.

I must say the SAs at ION need some serious attitude adjustment.

The one I was talking to wouldn’t even drop the lint remover he was holding to clean some merchandise yesterday and was even taking lint off some items while I was talking to him. I just found it totally rude. They couldn’t even give me any detail about when the bag could be sold, other than it’s only 1 of the 11 pieces on display in the world and that the ION store was selected as one of the Taiga stores…blah blah blah.

I don’t know if being part of the largest LV store in Southeast Asia went into their heads or something because the guys next door at Ngee Ann City were very friendly and accommodating. Plus I was carrying my Keepall Revelation yesterday so they shouldn’t think I can’t afford to buy that bag.

looks that way but I still don’t get it why they wouldn’t sell it.

It could be a display piece which they are not so inclined to sell… that’s the only reason that makes sense to me now.

Very… I remember snatching the Revelation even before it got dispalyed and they never had a problem selling it to me.

Strange!

I was ready to pay for it, but they told me that they only have 1 piece and that they can’t sell it yet… I really want to take it home.

What do you mean can’t be sold? That’s nonsense!

I saw it in ION today, but they told me that the bag couldn’t be sold as of the moment! Sooo frustrating!

How much is the Zippé in Singapore? They still don’t have it here in Manila…they only have the small leather items from the new Taiga collection.

I adore the Zippé, I’ve not seen it in the flesh but hope it is similar size to the Cabas Naxos which is great for day use.

Wish they were releasing it in Glacier though, love that colour, but the Boréal is gorgeous too. Can’t wait!!

Had been traveling in Hong Kong and China over the past two weeks and just returned to NYC on Sat, I stopped by the Maison 5th Ave yesterday to chat with my SA about the new Taiga I had seen in HK and she told me that they had just received their first Zippe. It’s huge and beautifull and it’s mine! She said that it’s in really limited production they were only due to receive a handfull of units and was only produced in Boreal – I was hoping for the blue or the green!

Hi! Do you think the zippé can be used by girls too? I’m kind of wanting it… love the color too. I don’t think I have a bag in this color yet. Thanks.

This collection is beautifully simple and classic. Coming from the female perspective, I also like all of it. The backpack is gorgeous!

Do you know when this collection will be available at LV in the US?

Looks like everyone here is keen on the Cabas Zippé…

My heart is torn in three between the Cabas Zippé, the Vassili GM, and the Sasha. But if i had to take just one, for sure it’ll be the Cabas Zippé.

As far as I know, everything in permanent except the backpack and the Cabas Zippé…

Hi Bagaholicboy, will these new bags and colors be part of the permanent collection, or do I have to rush out and by one this season?

Is the backpack unisex ? i mean i know its Taiga and all… but its gorgeous…

Among the bags, I’m most interested in the Zippé. I’ve asked my SA to put me on the waitlist for it. I was so surprised it’s cheaper than the Naxos, given the additional hardware on the Zippé. Makes it more tempting. LOL.

I’m also interested to see the packable parka and trench.

Depends on where you are. No news in Singapore yet.

i’m eyeing the Zippe as well but i love the Sunrise also from the new S/S 2010 collection…

By: WeLoveAsianMen

WeLoveAsianMen — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 12:28:17 +0000

I love the New Taiga Cabas Zippé too! Any news when they will be available?

I like the backpack. There seems to be much nicer pieces and colors from the runway but didn’t make it to production.

Am still eyeing the shoes and the hat. Not in stores yet

By: Bagaholicboy

Bagaholicboy — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:48:53 +0000

Get the backpack if you love it. I hear this (along with the Cabas Zippé) are one-off pieces. The rest are permanent.

Wow. I usually don’t like backpacks. But that is one beautifully made backpack. I’m not surprised though as the Taiga line is my favorite from LV.

Also loving the suitcase!

I think a green/olive color came out last season in the Taiga collection? Would love that in the backpack or messenger!!
