Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
There is a Louis Vuitton product called a Billiard Trunk. Essentially, it is a luxury cue case with space for various accessories, including a set of pool balls. Louis Vuitton commissioned ball manufacturer, Aramith, to create a custom set with the famous LV monogram. I’d like to buy just these balls, not the trunk.
Alas, Aramith refuse to sell me a set, insisting that I contact Louis Vuitton themselves. Louis Vuitton also refuse to sell me a set, a representative eventually revealing they are saving what spare sets they have to sell (or give) to regular customers.
Any help from fellow Chit Chatters would be sincerely appreciated.
Best wishes.

So to recap...he wants the balls and not the trunk...More likely to get Louis Spence
I think most posters on here are more the Primark type rather than LV but best of luck P. 
Nothing wrong with primark bud, cheap labour for cheap gear, as for LV ,cheap labour for expensive gear
Have a look at their website conditor. Would need a bank loan for a pair of trainers.
I know sir , I think you missed my point , I was being sarcastic
No worries mate.
I`d rather put the money on a horse.

I looked at their site to see if the item P was looking for was listed.
Page popped up. £800 for a pair of trainers
If you get a horse in October drop me a tip.

The 'other' buyer would end up with a case, what would they fill the gaps with?
The blank post, above, was intended to show a photograph of the Louis Vuitton pool balls made by Aramith.
Not sure why it didn’t upload. :(

Louis Vuitton (and Aramith) have spare sets, Mr D, so no customer would be left with an empty case.
Alas, Aramith insist the balls are only available through Louis Vuitton, and LV won’t sell me a set as I’m not a regular client.

Just to reiterate, these balls are not made by Louis Vuitton. They are manufactured by Aramith.
Here’s a link to Aramith’s Facebook page advertising the collaboration last year.

I’ve visited Louis Vuitton stores in London and New York to enquire about buying a set. Neither were even aware of the product and were not helpful at all.

Yep.. I had egg n chips for tea......or should I say dinner?
They will be happy to sell when they have been sat in a warehouse unsold for 5 years, its a waiting game!
Brands like LV usually destroy unsold branded items rather than sell off cheaply but this looks like something there wont be many of to start with.
They are giving them away to favoured customers. I just need to find one who is prepared to help. :)
I’m not seeking a knock off Louis Vuitton case, Mr C. I just want the set of Aramith balls.
Conditor you beat me to it, I used to buy in Istanbul a few years ago and people there will sell anything to anyone. Youjust need ££££ or $$$$

Thanks for the clarification. I don't want to miss a thing.
The place for favoured customers wont be here, so target where they are.
Otherwise you will go nuts looking for those balls.

For what ?so you can sit with them and watch the chace?
I’m looking everywhere, Mr P. :)
And one never knows who is lurking on Betfair, sir. I know a few on here who are Rolex collectors, for instance, so anything is possible.

Thank you very much, sir. I’ll check that out later.
I have a full set, i'd be quite willing to let you have a feel of my balls just for you to test the quality
Excellent.
Please post a picture and I’ll be glad to tender a generous offer.

i've no idea why but the mods have rejected the picture of my balls, you'll have to use your imagination
Are they in a shop in central London?
If so, just pay a beggar to rip + run, give a tenner up front and a score on delivery.

TBF top designer clothes are well made, especially stuff like shoes.
I've got quite about 50 pairs of trainers/shoes up to 600/700 quid and they will all last a long time.
I've found Paul Smith to be the best value designer.
Top quality and not quite as expensive as Gucci, D&G, Versace and LV
