Gucci Westman Launches and Pre-Orders
You know that feeling you got as a kid on your birthday when you had presents to open? That’s not at all unlike how I feel when a new Gucci Westman launch hits the store. I also anticipate those arrivals much like I used to anticipate my birthday. I’m not sure if it’s because of the rarity of a new item or that every single item she creates is amazing, but the fact remains that I still get giddy when I know a new one is coming.
However, I have a terrible track record of anticipating the demand for these new items. With each launch I double my previous order and somehow, I still sell-out. That’s great, except it’s not because that means people are left without. The last launch of the eye pods is one such example. I placed an order for 36 so that no one would be left out. What I didn’t factor in was people buying them for gifts as well. Those 36 were gone in a flash and then Gucci ran out of them too. So, now we’re waiting for them to come back in from Italy. I’ve pre-ordered another 36 because I assume that the initial rush took care of a good deal of the demand, but maybe not?
Now, I am faced with a new dilemma… how to order the three new launches. Just in time for the holidays, Gucci will be launching a Limited Edition Brush Collection. Available for a short time, all seven of her brushes will be available at a discounted rate of $435. All these brushes are hand made in Japan by the most prestigious brush maker in the world. I have a few of her brushes and despite daily use and frequent washings, I have yet to lose a bristle. These would make a fantastic gift (yes… to yourself as well).
Secondly, the Shanghai Edition gift box. A gorgeous red box with her Mascara and Les Rouges lip compact. Two of my favorite products in a gorgeous gift box. All you need is a bow. Actually, I’ve got that too.
Lastly, the Holiday Edition gift box. This one is so amazing! A beautiful grey box with gold bow holds the Super Loaded Highlight in Peau de Rose; Baby Cheeks Limited Edition Blush in Mimi; and Lit up Highlight Stick in Limited Edition Nectar. These are shades you can’t get on their own and that won’t last long. They are beautiful!!!!
So, with all this in mind, knowing how ineptly I have gauged demand in the past, I am asking for your help. Please, pretty please, send me your pre-orders. I don’t want you to miss out on these amazing items. Pre-orders need to be in by November 15th in order for me to guarantee enough stock. If you think you’ll want these items, please let us know. If you’ll want more than one, please let us know.
I don’t want anybody to miss out on that birthday present feeling! I know you’re gonna love these as much as I will. I’m already giddy.
