hello! i'm looking to go to korea in may for DES and will need the help of an interpreter. i know people have previously used independent translators that they found through KKT but upon further research, it seems they might be involved in shady business and i personally wouldn't be comfortable having a male translator at my appointments anyways.

i've heard of people hiring translators through the korean government or medical tourism companies -- can anyone share their experience? thanks!

About two weeks ago I ranted here about my unpleasant experience with a New York Hudson Yards service when I purchased (and subsequently cancelled the purchase due to this bad experience) a mini Frivole necklace. I decided to put the necklace on hold and went to hunt for mini Frivole earrings. So I gave it a week break. Then I found myself at a different VCA location in NY where they had only pair. I was not only happy with earrings but also pleased with the professional service provided.

And, after a thorough consideration, I decided to purchase a small Frivole necklace instead of a mini. Needless to say, I am glad that purchase did not work out.

So here they are: (diamonds appear to be of a superb cut as well based on Aset). (For those curious about packaging options, I was offered to choose between a pouch and a box but chose a pouch).

hi --

has anyone gotten PRF under their eyes for dark circles? i have deep set eyes and hereditary dark circles, never done filler for my circles before but my injector recommended PRF instead of another type of filler because of the potential dangers injecting under the eyes. has anyone gotten this done under the eye?

Has anyone gotten their ring resized post purchase? I would like to have an idea of how much it would cost before sending it off to NYC.
Unfortunately, my local boutique won't give me a quote unless I ship it off to NYC.

TIA!

Really treated myself for my Birthday this year. 😅



Last month, I got the Louis Vuitton Padded Denim jacket from LV in South Korea. I had been eyeing it for a while but it was sold out all over USA. There was 1 Large left and it was in South Korea. I wasn’t really sure about sizing since it’s so big; I kind of wanted Medium but that was sold out all over the world.



Ended up getting it and to my surprise, the sewn-in tag said Medium despite the printed sticker label saying Large! Maybe sizing in Asian countries is different?



It’s kind of a loud jacket but I really like the aesthetic of it. And it’s so comfortable!



Since I got the jacket, I’ve been looking for accessories to pair it with. This Saint Laurent bag just matched it perfectly. From the denim wash to the color of the hardware.



When I walked into the Saint Laurent store on Rodeo Drive, the SA that greeted me even thought of the denim Loulou because of my jacket. Luckily they had a display one for me to try on. I loved how they look so he gave me a fresh one one from the back!



Paired it with my LV pearl bag charm from this season. 😊



I also stopped by LV to get some Pre-Co items and I’ll be posting on my Instagram @BryantCabrera if interested! 😊

I purchased my 5 motif VCA Alhambra bracelet in 2018. I removed two links from it in December 2023 via the workshop, and I noticed that clothing has been snagging on it lately. I looked at it further, and there is actually a sizeable opening in the connection near the lobster claw (O ring).

I called VCA and was told there would likely be a fee to repair this, but I just had it resized 4 months ago, and this was likely an issue from the repair. Another concern, my serial number is nowhere to be found on the piece. The store told me that it often gets scratched off with wear on "old pieces". My piece is 6 years old. Not exactly prehistoric. There are absolutely no signs of the markings at all, and the area looks like it was smoothed down by a machine. Should I be concerned?

Does anyone have know what the name of this style is and if it is a regular release? I love the style and wonder if it will be released again in different colors. This I believe is from 23 collection and they released only : black, red, white and brown.
Thank you in advance for any information - I truly appreciate it.

Anyone have this yet? Eyeing the cherry red but haven’t had much luck finding reviews on this bag yet?

Hey

Just wondering if there are any upcoming independent Chanel authenticators (not Zeko)
A market with no competition and a super limited bag spa reccos based on one authenticator's relationship with them seems very aughts
We're in a whole new timeline. Thoughts suggestions?

So which color is the bunny going to be? They changed the color a few days ago.

Beware! For some time now there is a constant number of fake Tod's on Vestiaire. The difference is quite easy to spot as the metal plate ist completely different. I have been reporting several on offer, but enough had already been sold. I wonder why VC is not doing anything to avoid a known issue, neither does Tod's, obviously. Furthermore there is a tremendous number of suspicious Icon Top Handles Ferragamo's on offer from Poland. For reference: 1. picture dupe on VC, 2. picture Tod's HP.

I received a message from my SA letting me know she received one of the newspaper print bags in today. I have always admired this style of bag, but it felt impractical for my life (and age). I have not stopped thinking about this print since I saw it. It feels timeless to me. I’d love any advice from those in their 40’s that have (and love or hate) their Saddlebag. I have many other bags on my wish list, but worry this bag will be the one that got away if I don’t snag it. Thank you - I plan on visiting the store tomorrow to see it in person.

Hi please shared your experience with any of this clinic for des, first time so not sure what to expect.

Thanks

Hello,

I placed an order for the small Panthere watch with my out-of-town Boutique. I won’t be able to pick up my watch myself but my husband will pick it up for me. I wear the Love bracelet in size 15 and the JUC small bracelet in size 14. Does anybody have the same bracelet size and the Panthere watch and can tell me how many links I need to get removed off the watch? I’d like a fit that doesn’t allow the watch to rotate on my wrist. I think my wrist measures 13.25 cm.

If anybody with that small wrist and watch have a photo of the watch after links removed, I’d be so greatful.

I was recently at Tory Burch and they had the cutest little canvas tote with leather trim and straps.
I really liked it but was hesitant because how do you clean the canvas ( you can't really wash it because of the leather).
It also had no feet so I would be hesitant to put it down on things, but I hate to baby my bags.
Anyone have experience with TB canvas and leather bags?

I am so torn on which to choose!

I love both but if i could only choose one! Which one?!

I love the onyx as it looks nice and a bit masculine on a guy.

But i love all white gold!

I do live in Hawaii and occasionally want to go swim in the ocean or pool and heard onyx could tolerate but I’m not sure?!

Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi all!

I m considering between a VCA alhambra sweet in white gold with diamonds OR VCA alhambra vintage in white gold or rose gold with diamonds (although think my yellow skin tone would be more suited for white gold).

Wondering if anyone can share their opinion/ experience on the 2? And which would you choose?

Some background: i have asian fair skin with yellow undertones. And i have a fuller chest/broader shoulders.

Does anyone know where Dr. Choi is going? I heard he is leaving Thank You PS soon.

I need to do a brow lift for hooded eyes + DES. I brow lift. Are there any good clinics for this besides Thank You PS? I don't want to go a factory clinic. Has anyone does this procedure before?

I have an Alma PM for around 10 or so years. It is in very good condition. It is hard for me to find a black handbag with silver hardware that I like. I looked at the Chanel WOC but I think it is too small for me. The Alma PM in my opinion is a "perfect" design. Do you think it is a good idea to buy another Alma PM in black epi? (I also have the Alma BB in black epi) Thanks!!!!!!!

I have Pochette metis in reverse , monogram and black empreinte
I will but another bag so i think i have to sell one of these..
I used the black one the most . the reverse second mostly and the monogram a few times , even i think its a classic.. If I sell one i' m worried to regret. What do you think ?

I’ve always had quite prominent axillary breast tissues and finally decided to bite the bullet to remove them on my recent trip to Korea. I enquired about the procedure with a few different clinics and decided to go ahead with Woori Plastic Surgery Clinic because they’re the only one who mentioned that they will be able to remove the visible mammary gland tissue together with liposuction. Most clinics I’ve inquired with either only do liposuction or will only remove the mammary gland if I am doing it together with breast augmentation.

I sent in my concern via their chat services and was assisted by their English coordinator Katherine. She was friendly and patient with all my questions. As I was only in Korea for a short duration, I wanted to make sure I was able to get the procedure done and fly off on my scheduled date. Katherine was really helpful in addressing all my concerns. After searching up Woori online and reading on reviews by others. I decided to go ahead with making the appointment.

On the day of appointment, Katherine met me at the reception and stayed with me throughout the doctor’s consultation all the way to the operating room, making sure I was comfortable throughout. The doctor was thorough in his explanation and made sure I knew what the procedure will be like and what the possible side effects were.

My procedure was done under sleep anaesthesia and it was over before I knew it. The entire process took about 4-5 hours and there was minimal discomfort after. I was able to go about with my day.

I went back the next day for dressing change and besides the mild discomfort around the surgical site, I was able to carry out my day to day activities with no problem.

It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve had my surgery. The bruising was quite bad on the left initially but is much better now. The surgical site is still a bit swollen but I’m loving how it looks. I can definitely see myself wearing clothes I didn’t dare to wear previously.

What do you guys think?

Hello everyone,

I am flying to Korea this summer to get my eyes fixed. I am definitely planing to undergo rhinoplasty in the next one to two years. Since I am already in Korea I was thinking that I could do some in-person consultations, to take away the pressure of having to do it next time. Do you think it's too early for that?
