New Special Edition December Luxor Box + Spoiler

Hey, guys–remember that time we spent $175 on a mystery box that we wouldn’t get to see for two months? HAHAHAHA

Yeah… What kind of crazy juice was I drinking that day? One month down, one more to go…

Where are the spoilers? They started shipping yesterday! Someone must have it by now!!! ARG!

I NEED THEM TO SELL OUT. I feel like i am only wanting it because they are selling out…. MUST RESIST TEMPTATION. The colors left i don’t like and as i posted in Nov spoiler post…

Beginning of March 2015 to end of April 2015 price was $95
Beginning of May 2015 to end of December 2015 price was $125
Beginning of Jan 2016 price will increase again to ????

Oct Special Edition was $135. Dec Special edition is $175
Doesn’t that seems like a lot of increasing for a subscription box that is less than a year old and only having released three boxes (four if you count the yet to be received October)?

I would actually like peoples opinions of this as even thought i am fighting to resist the limited I still have to make a final decision on normal bi-monthly. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Finally jumped! I love Luxor and have been pleased with every box thus far. I justified it as a birthday gift to myself. I figure if nothing else I could sell the clutch for $75ish and pretend it was a $100 box.

I got my boxes today and just got the shipping email this morning…doing the happy dance.

I purchased one, but am now getting a little concerned. I ordered the October special box and they guaranteed shipping through this week. Yet, it’s Friday and I have yet to receive a shipping email.

Also, maybe I’m just paranoid, but I kind of find the lack of comments on their Facebook page a bit concerning. I would think they would be getting flooded with questions about “where’s my October package??” (unless I’m the only one that hasn’t gotten a shipping email – which I doubt). The lack of comments on their Facebook page, makes me wonder if they delete comments. They have also disabled posting, so we can’t even post a question on their Facebook page, let alone read other members’ posts. I find that odd.

Also, their website concerns me too. There’s no where to log in to check your account to see if an item has shipped or not. Unless I’m looking in the wrong place.

Anyone else have these concerns too? I’ve plunked down over $450 with them in the last month, with nothing to show for it yet, so I’m feeling a bit paranoid about it…

What’s the outside of the snow Leo like? Is it furry?

So I am not the most fashionable person I care more about skin care than purses and clutches and fashion. I am not getting this box and still torn about the regular subscription. They are going to raise price so that has me saying SUBSCRIBE! But, past reviews left me feeling “meh” about the box. $125 a bit steep for “meh.” I also don’t like they have us scrambling to order December with out even receiving October special edition.
Anyone else wondering if this is a marketing ploy? Bi monthly with off months having a higher prices “special” edition? If you have subscribed to everything they are/were offering you’re getting monthly boxes from Luxor.

To buy, or not to buy- that is the question:
Whether ’tis frugal of the wallet to suffer
The doubts and anguish of outrageous Sub fees
Or to take arms against a sea of debts,
And by cancelling end them.

Per an email response from them that i received today…all the Oct “Most requested” boxes are shipping today through Saturday.

I just got the shipping notice for the October box.

I am loving all the comments, from grammar lessons to why no one needs a clutch, It’s just super entertaining! I think I understand all views. If you do not attend semi-formal, formal events or even events you can pretend are such then absolutely this clutch is all wrong for you, and that’s ok! I will say Luxor is probably one of the most luxe box out there……trust me I subscribe to all of them! I do feel as though my grammar may be being scrutinized here and that too is ok. (Noticed I put the correct number of o’s in there) ? just having fun here and it’s a great deal if it works for you! Everyone likes something different and that’s what makes the world go round. Not sure why people have to bring negativity or harsh comments to any post. If people are having fun and enjoying themselves then let it be……

I must be the world’s biggest grammar snob. My first thought was: “I’m not giving $175 to a company that adds an apostrophe to ‘customs’.”

Seriously, though, I’m not.

Just tried the “order box today” link that then ask USA or Cananda. Then a pop up box appears asking for a password. Do you have to create an account to get in to order. I understand this can be a one time purchase. Or is this a sign that it is sold out? 🙁

I’m trying to pre order it but it is telling me I need a code?

This is so smart on their part. There are so many in our group who wanted one of these bags and they are very hard to both get and swap for. Got 2 ..the Tigre and the Python gold as I have the black and silver Leo. I have quite a few of these bags, both in the XL and the L size. Love both of them…..the Large actually does hold all your evening essentials and is a very nice size. The chain is great as you can use it as a Crossbody or shoulder bag instead of just the clutch. The main store in Paris sells bags without the chain..these are $10 more pp. For Luxor to offer this as part of a $500 value box, that means there will be $370 in goodies more in the box besides the 1951 bag. For those who have not seen them, they are absolutely beautiful! The leather is gorgeous and for those afraid of Python..it is just a texturized leather..not snakey..is that a word? I have lots of nice Coach & Dooney bags, Kate a Spade and the like and these are my favorites. Friday , will be getting my lusted after pony dot thanks to a wonderful fellow swapper..so thrilled!

Can anyone help me determine if the python gold is named that because it has gold “dusting” that I just can’t see, maybe? I even zoomed on their website and darn if I see any gold other than the hardware accents. Isn’t it just a lighter brown than the choco? I appreciate any insight that any one may have…Thanks!

I am really confused as to why the black 1951 Maison is so popular. The point of the Maison is simple classic shape matched with a striking color or pattern–that is what gives it the wow factor. The colors and patterns available for this bag are amazing. Don’t be sad the black option is gone–you are now liberated! But joking aside, I am so happy people on the swap site will now be able to get their Maisons and won’t have to pine after the Maisons listed that will never ever (ever ever . . .) be swapped!

Hmm…I remember reading in the Nov spoiler that they would be raising their prices in 2016 because people wanted more lux items. I wonder if this box was to test the waters with a great spoiler and a $175 price tag….and if yes….then it looks like it was a great success for them….box seems to be close to selling out!

Is the tigre print calf hair? Is that why it costs $5 more?

Am I crazy? I just ordered this. What kind of prima donna do I think I am? I ordered the choco (brown) because the noir was sold out, but maybe someone will want to swap colors once I get it. I’m not on the swap boards and don’t know how it works, but I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I actually get it.

I really wanted the Python Noir…but it was already gone. Since I’m getting the black clutch in the Nov box, I went for the Silver. Luxor seems to be stepping up their game….can’t wait for the Oct Most Requested box to ship.

Wow, Luxor is really into the Survival Edition boxes, aren’t they?

If this box is still available after the October Special Edition spoilers/review come out -and I like them- I may get this box.

Seriously- where are those spoilers???

A Maison Francaise 1951 clutch? May the insanity commence.

Oop. Too late.

For some reason this box doesn’t interest me but I must say that I am so impressed how they are continuing to improve.
There are so many boxes that just don’t seem to have done any research on the sub box community and they seem to make silly mistakes. But this box seems like they are really paying attention.
I am so excited for all the people who are dying for this clutch! What a great Christmas present to get yourself!!

I can’t believe I ordered this… It’s my first-ever luxury/expensive box purchase. I hope it provides great gifts for my family/friends. And hopefully no more than one spa/beauty item… I’m personally not very into receiving or gifting spa items. Fingers crossed for a nice throw!
