You probably heard by now about the latest Louis Vuitton collaboration with Comme des Garcons, and here is the first look inside the collection, including two Party bags (small evening purses with outsized natural leather handles) two classic Louis Vuitton bags (endowing the Papillon with kawaii animal charms) and the Mini HL with multiple slender handles. Lastly, Louis Vuitton is reediting two iconic designs from the 1970s – the Petit Marceau and the Sac 2 Poches.

The bags will only be available upon order, which is only to be placed at the “Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons store” opening September 4th in Tokio. No telephone or Internet orders will be taken (are we going back to 19th century when LV has started?). In return, customers will receive a certificate inside a special card holder in Louis Vuitton's traditional natural leather, embossed with the Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons signature. Only several months later will their bag be delivered to their chosen Louis Vuitton store.

I guess you have to wait that long for the good stuff...
