As of this writing, I couldn’t find information on availability outside of Japan. I don’t often post collection previews, but I’ve only seen information about it in Japanese, so I hope English-speakers in Japan find this helpful and get a chance to check out the collection. For those outside of Japan, sorry to be a tease! With a collection this large, it’s hard to believe it’ll only be available in one particular store in Japan; I really hope it’ll launch in other countries, too.
I’m interested in the two Vernis, especially the lavender Frou Frou! I haven’t gotten a chance to get them yet, so crossing my fingers that they’ll still be available.
What do you think of this collection? Did anything catch your interest?
Oh gosh Frou Frou looks amazing! Wish I could get it! USUALLY Dior releases trickle around the world, but sometimes it takes a pretty long time (like the purples collection last year…I think it was like 5 or 6 months from the time I saw swatches from Europe until it was available in the US). Unfortunately it seems to me that Asia-exclusive releases tend not to make their way around the world (why? Because they charge a higher price? There’s so many buyers over here! Doesn’t make sense to me). I hope you are able to get Frou Frou and swatch it for us, Peach, because that may be the only way I get to see it!
It puzzles me why Asia-exclusives don’t make it over to the West, too. And it’s not just collections, but also products within a collection, like Cherie Bow including more products in Asia than the US, for one. It doesn’t make sense to me either, Julia! I’ll definitely swatch the two Vernis if I’m able to get them!
These colors are amazing! My boyfriend’s parents live an hour away from Tokyo and would send them to me in the US but they are sold out
Is there any way of knowing if/when they will be back in stock?!?
Hi, Lauren! Yeah, they’re sold out on the website — I don’t know if/when they’re coming back, but I will update if I see them back in stock. I think our best bet would be to purchase them from the physical store in Tokyo.
Bagatelle and Frivole are gorgeous! *drools* Would love to see swatches if you can get your hands on them!
Agreed. Color combination in Bagatelle is definitely enticing! I only wish pastels worked on me.
I am lucky to have a friend in Japan who was able to pick those polishes up for me. They look so soft. I can’t wait to see them in Person but till then it will take a few more month.
Were you able to get them?
Oh, that’s great!
I bet they’ll be worth the anticipation. I was luckily able to grab both colors, too.
