Liz Lisa (and other VENT brands) 2014 fukubukuro reveal

The long awaited reveal of sample contents of the 2014 fukubukuro/lucky packs!

Liz Lisa 2014 fukubukuro (click to enlarge) -
See here for the source of the images.
[This post is mainly for record for next year if people have questions.] The fukubukuro were released for order on 11/30 and VENT revealed the sample contents on 12/20. VENT also restocked multiple fukubukuro this year including the trunk carry which was different from last year. These pictures are really only samples of what will be in the packs. Since VENT restocked some of the bags, it's entirely possible that there are slightly different contents in each listing of the lucky pack.
It seems that the 109 limited color trunk and the brown trunk lucky pack that VENT is offering will have the same contents! One coat, 1 OP, 3 tops, 2 bottoms, 1 inner, blanket (9 content items). That is not what I anticipated at all. Even the blanket is likely the same print.
The My Melody collab trunk (available in-store only), on the other hand, is completely different (as expected due to the price increase). One coat, 2 OPs, 2 tops, 2 bottoms, blanket and pouch (9 content items). I like the coat in this one and both of the bottoms!
If I ordered the Liz Lisa Rich Vintage Rose Carry from VENT, I'd be super stoked right now, and I know I'm going to be super jealous when I see all the gals modeling their stuff in 3 weeks. I really like the outer piece and the bottoms and the print on the blanket.
I'm always extremely lukewarm about long sleeve items since I do not like to have them in my wardrobe (simply because I live in Hawaii and for no other reason) and it seems all the lucky packs except the Ribbon Boston have long sleeve OPs :|
I'm not sure how I feel about the outer in the Heartful Monogram tote which is the lucky pack I was going to order from MARUQ (if they offer it)...Of course there's a chance that I wouldn't get that outer piece, but I feel like it's really slim. If anything, the OP and the top or bottom would be different. Judging solely on the sample picture, I don't think I'll order it because I only really like the bottoms. Maybe I'll order the Ribbon Tote from MARUQ instead since I really like that white coat...what to do, what to do.

  1. I found myself liking the content of Rich Vintage Rose carry, it's not entirely filled with very bright pastel color and the coat is beautiful. I will have no problem if I received the exactly same items as shown in the pic.
    I agree, the coat from Ribbon tote look fabulous * w *

    3. Honestly, I think I might pass this year! I know I'll be missing out but I'm just like :|, Maybe I'll get a digital perm and my nails done instead!

  2. hhhmmm, I really like so many of the items - as I already said, but, gosh, the Tralala ones look nice too *I didn't see those before!* I just realized I'm going to most likely wind up with two coats now - one tralala and one Liz Lisa. :/ FML.

    1. Haha yeah the totes usually also have coats. That's why I ended up doing a giveaway for my last year's tote coat. Ugh I don't know what to do for this year still...

  3. I feel like the coat in the Rich Vintage Rose Carry is alright, same with the pink ruffle bottom, but overall I love everything else. The dress is so beautiful, hopefully I get the items shown in the picture. I was surprise when I saw the contents of the Penderie Dolly Stripe Bag, I can't wait to get it! :3 Everything is just so cute, and the colors are so wearable. I really like the coat in that bag too :3

    1. Omg yes the Penderie ones look quite good! I'd be really happy with the jumper skirt.

  4. I can't wait to get to get my Tralala Sweet and Casual Set haha the contents for both sets are cute and wearable. But I'm just a little ehhh about getting long-sleeve shirts with just prints such as "Candy" or "Make" on it. I'll probably just used them as PJ's.

    1. Haha yeah I guess the graphics keep it from being too "plain" but it's good that you'll be able to find another use for them. I really like the Tralala bags! Llkajdsfjk I'm so excited for everyone to receive their LPs! I can't wait :3

  5. Hi Emiii! I follow you blog for a little period (from tumblr first) but this is my first post here.
    I'm so glad to know what there are in the fukubukuro I buy for Christmas, but a little bit sad too. It take the little Liz Lisa bag. I really like this brand <3 despite it was so hard to buy it in France... (I use Japonica market to send me my order). I don't really like the dress :s I prefer the pink others. But I will saw this in real, Maybe I can change my mind ^^ And if I understand it's only sample? :o

    Do you know how to buy My Melody pack? Is it only in the physical shop? *_* One of my blogfriend has created a website community, but only in french for the moment, but both of us don't really understand Japanese >< I ask you help because I read you are a quite Japanese (and live(d?) in Japan for your school)

    Otherwise for the lucky bag, I prefer the My Melody bigger bag <3 and all the suitcases *_* I wish I could be a rich girl XD but I'm not a student and it's quite diffult. Dolly stripe and classic bag are so cute too!
    Have a sweet day :3

    1. Hihi! Yes, I believe the tiny disclaimer on the bottom of the pictures say that these photos are samples only, and while it's likely that your LP from VENT's contents will be exactly as pictured, it is also possible that you might get something else. You will likely get a knit, OP and inner top though.
      The Liz Lisa x My Melody collaboration trunks are only available in physical store locations. If you want to order one of these from France, I would advise using an in-store shopping service. Basically someone who lives in Japan and will go shopping at stores for you. I've never used one before but I know that people in the Lolita community use them often so maybe you can ask for advice around there. I think there is someone called "Gorgeous Barbie" on Facebook that does this service, but I have never used her before so I personally can't recommend her based on any past experience. You *may* have to find one outside of Tokyo though because I believe the Shibuya 109 and Harajuku locations already had their reservations? (I could be wrong though).
      I hope I was able to answer your questions! Let me know if I can further help you.

  6. Ahhh ! All the things i bought are superrrrr cute! \(T∇T)/ though some of them are quite similar..
    ・゜・(ノД`) Aahhh.. i really felt this year's lucky bag.. LL 's designer don't have any more new ideas to design already ..( ̄■ ̄;)!?. It's just too similar as last year's . I mean the luggage, it's just *SPLASH* roses ! on the pink trunk. This year's trunk 's clothes are similar to the 10k 's.. (the pattern!! ** example the skirt.. ) (´;ω;`)
    Overall i love it but oh god too many coats ! (。ノω\。) I hope i can use it soon for cold country !! (My country sucks..no 4 seasons) ..
    Is it really true that different batches have different content ? Are the revealed content fixed ? I am really quite upset about them revealing so early... it gives me the feeling that they wanna earn money so eagerly. RESTOCK !! REVEAL !! RESTOCK !! щ(゜ロ゜щ) ///dead

    1. Haha I think some people were quite pleased with last year's trunk design so they wanted to have another option for others to have it. The skirts are different I think. I like this year's ones much better than last year's and one of last year's bottoms was *horrible* quality, made of some really insane synthetic material.
      Lol, a reason I am trying to refrain from buying the fukubukuro is because coats and long sleeve items are so useless in Hawaii so I feel you! You'll practically have a complete Liz Lisa wardrobe though! The coats are not always super thick since they need to produce them cheaply.
      Different batches *may* have different content. That's only my guess. But since you ordered all of yours from the first listings (right?), my hypothesis is that you'll get things pretty close to the reveals. The reveals are not at all exactly what everyone who orders will receive. There's a blurb at the bottom of each picture saying they are examples only (which is why I wrote sample contents because I don't want anyone blaming me if what they get is not exactly as pictured). I think the reason they are showing examples of what's in the packs is because certain Liz Lisa stores in Japan have starting selling select lucky packs already so people will know a sample of what's in them either way.

    2. (☉_☉) I wish i have spaces for liz lisa.. i want to make a LL wardrobe too !! >.< Ahhm, the luggage 's brown checkered (sort-of) pattern looks like the same one as the 10k's skirt ・ω・)」(?)
      Do they really ship straight away right after 1st of January ? I can't wait after all! I 'll treat em' as my new year clothes. (*^▽^*) I would love to see your post on this new fukubukuro, which one did you actually bought? I'm quite confused ! (●´ω`●)ゞ I wish i can go to japan for once and celebrate new year and right before that i'd probably want to enjoy camping at shibuya right before the FUKUBUKURO DAY !!! ಠ益ಠ) It looks drastically crazy full of people but it looks so fun to run around and grab grab grab ~~ HAHA ! I want to go to japan and enjoy sakura season but its just too ex .. i know they have higher prices for that season (゚ー゚; I-i-i i just can't stop envying your japan exchange. Do you know japanese language? because i've seen your profile that you're mixed race? ( ・◇・)?
      Thanks a lot for answering my questions i do enjoy each and everyone of it (#⌒∇⌒#)ゞ

    3. Oh sorry, I think I misunderstood what we were talking about haha. I guess it looks like it's made of the same material, but the one in the trunk is a sukapan and the one in the tote looks like bubble hem shorts.
      Last year, VENT shipped on 12/30 but I don't exactly know their plans this year since they seem to be having more stock. You should keep in mind that during the holiday season both VENT and Tenso are inundated with orders so it may take longer to process than usual. I actually didn't order any fukubukuro from VENT this year and I may not get any at all, but I'm still not 100% sure.
      I was considering trying to go to Japan around this time some year in the future but the plane tickets and everything is quite expensive. I think I read someone's blog entry once about going to the fukubukuro sales and they mentioned that it was quite civilized and organized. No running about or pushing like the Black Friday sales are here in the US where people are literally trampled to death o__o. The other thing about sakura season is that it can be unpredictable and if you only have enough savings to spend a week or two there, you might miss it! :(
      I only started learning Japanese in college and since I've graduated, I don't take any more classes but I think I know enough to get around by myself even though I can't make small talk in every situation and might have to constantly ask people to explain a word or speak slowly haha. Unfortunately, I'm like 4th/5th generation American so even my grandparents all speak English with no accent at all.
      I definitely enjoy talking, especially about Liz Lisa so thanks for commenting!
