Most designers don't go out of their way to put out something specifically for Halloween. Even though it is the third-most expensive holiday in terms of the money that is spent specifically on holiday items, a good deal of that money goes towards kids stuff and costumes, not other accessories.
Louis Vuitton bucked the trend with a very cute keychain this year. The
Jack & Lucie Keyring was a limited edition (rumored to be sold out by now) accessory offered just for Halloween. It features two lacquered heads - one of a Jack o' Lantern and one of a skull, named after the oldest human fossil, Lucie - with Swarovski crystal smiles. The back of each has the LV signature logo.

How come big designers NEVER make enough of these things for people to buy??
The only people who will have these are the celebrities that get "first dibs" on everything!!!

That's quite simple. If they made unlimited number of these things, they wouldn't be that exclusive. If they weren't that exclusive, non of the high-end celebs. would wear/use them. If the high-end celebs. wouldn't be using them, they wouldn't get as much press. It's quite simple. I don't think LV ever been interested in reaching out to the big mass, they want to remain their brand exclusive.

...which lets them offer their products for a higher price and sets their products up to appreciate in value over time.

I bought the monogram Jack and Lucie, it's a little expensive for a keyring but know that I was told I got the last one in Canada I am glad I have it, it's growing on me.

Laugh with the dead and spend while you are alive. Just ordered one of these which were rumored to have a limited amount. Not so sure about that but...
