So today I decided to really dig into how much LV actually charges for baby stuff. People keep saying “oh it’s insane” but nobody ever lists real numbers. Grabbed my laptop and started browsing their official site – bad idea for my wallet.
First Shock: The Tiny Stuff
Clicked on the newborn section and immediately winced. A freaking pacifier clip? Yeah, that’ll run you $165. Seriously, a clip to keep the binky from falling on the floor! For my kid, we used a $2 one from the drugstore. Scrolled down to bodysuits… $290 for something they’ll puke on in 5 minutes. Nope.
Then the blankets caught my eye. Soft, cashmere-blend? $720. My sleep-deprived parent brain went: “Maybe just the burp cloths?” $250 for two tiny cloths. That’s baby spit-up worthy of a Michelin star restaurant right there.
Stumbling Upon The “Essentials”
Got curious about accessories. Found a tiny, plush teddy bear charm. $625. For a teddy bear smaller than my palm! Refreshed the page and saw a knit hat – you know, the kind babies hate wearing? $265. Suddenly my Target beanie looks genius.
- Baby changing pouch (holds diapers, wipes?): $1,200
- Rattles (monogrammed, obviously): $295 each
- Travel baby bottle holder: $380
The Real Gut Punch
Clicked “Strollers & Carriers.” My coffee almost went flying. The full baby stroller system? $5,500. Five THOUSAND dollars. Felt like my own credit card shuddered. For comparison, my friend’s entire used SUV car seat + stroller combo was $350.
Couldn’t stop staring at the baby bag – technically called a “Diaper Bag.” $2,990. Look, my toddler uses my old college backpack as her daycare bag. Works fine.
Trying to Find Logic (& Failing)
Thought maybe shoes would be “reasonable.” Nope. Baby moccasins? $445. They’ll outgrow these in 6 weeks! Closed the shoe tab fast.
My final takeaway? You’re not really paying for practicality. You’re paying for that little LV logo stamp. If you buy EVERYTHING here for a newborn? Stroller, bag, some outfits, blankets, toys? Easily over $10k. Probably way more.
Honestly? Even for big luxury fans, this feels like more about flexing than actual baby needs. Found way cheaper (still nice!) options on secondhand luxury sites later for like 60% off. My bank account breathed a sigh of relief.
