The Illustre Hot Air Balloon charm had been in my wish list for some time before I get her.
Saw the bag charm last year in LV Maison Amsterdam when buying my Speedy B and loved it so much when it adorned the bag. But did not get it as thought I could buy one in Sydney if I really wanted it. Neither did I know that the charm is a limited edition item for Xmas 2014. Long story short, decided to get the charm through LV Australia website and all sold out, they even looked into LV New Zealand and all gone.
Since then, I have spent hours googling through pictures of this charm in the net and only found it in re-sale market. Intriguingly, I found the re-sale price could be much-much more than the original LV price. Post-researching in the purse forum and other LV blogger, this limited edition things is highly collectible and an investment goodies. I kind of kicking myself not getting one before.
For my anniversary gift this year, my DH surprised me by getting Illustre Hot Air Balloon charm in Damier Ebene! I guess he knows my obsession from my browse history and my talks about this charm!! :)
He got the charm new and unused in re-sale market with a good price (although more than the original LV price) and all the perks included (box, receipt from LV UK, dustbag).
When inspecting it, the illustre is as beautiful as expected, the blue tag remains adhered onto the golden brass; and the back side has date codes/serial number, no hot stamp and a beautiful calf leather in Fuchsia.

I love it sooo much on both my Alma Epi Fuchsia and Speedy B Mono. It personalises your bag especially for the common bag like Speedy and Neverfull. I cannot wait to attach her when I get a Damier Ebene bag *^o^*
