Hi, I just bought some new velvet sneakers and want to know if I can use anything to protect them? Thank

I purchased an item from this website. The item was listed on ebay, but she said I could purcahse on the website for less. Has anyone bought from them or know if they are legit and authentic? I was kind of nervous but the seller seemed ok when I asked questions about it through ebay. It's COOPD. or www.coopd.com

Hello

I was hoping do advice on what to add to my collection. I have a thin JUC in rose gold and went to try the new white gold version as well as the full size.

I’m torn on what’s best to purchase. Let me know what you think

Can anyone who owns the B.Zero1 Rose Gold pendant necklace or B.Zero1 Rose Gold white or black ceramic Legend pendant necklace give any insight regarding the rose gold? Does it eventually change to look like yellow gold? I'm considering buying one before the price increase in October (according to price increase thread) and I'm not sure if I want to invest if it's just going to end up changing color on me. Any pics would definitely be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone.

Hello fellow TPF friends,

I have searched this forum far and wide… and I haven’t seen any thread about the sac à pansage.
I have a very urban, subway, public transport lifestyle. I am looking for a very easy to wear, easy to carry toile bag (lightweight, easy to maintain and worry free for rainy days).
I want something very well made (saddle stitching, looking at you 🤓) and I have stumbled on the sac a pansage. I know it is technically not hermes but hermes sellier. For me it is like petit H… same company other division.

Now fellow online friends … who has this bag, who is in love, who hates it?
What other incredible model (none HAC, non Kelly) do you have in mind which could va an alternative ?

Thanks for everyone who can help.

Hello learned Chanel ladies and gents.

I bought my first reissue (255) yesterday preloved. 2006 say the store.

She’s a beaut, shiny gunmetal silver hardware and the leather is (I think) calfskin. Metallic gold and sort of crinkled. Apologies I’m not au fait with the brand terminology.

Considering the bag is 18 years old, it’s in a decent enough condition. There are a few areas of wear where the underlying leather, which looks grey, is showing through. A few spots on the base and most notably on the edge of one corner of the flaps.

There’s quite a few fingernail scratches inside, but I don’t mind about that.

The wear on the outside of the bag is not especially obvious given the leather finish. So much so I didn’t see it in the artificial lighting of the preloved shop and only really noticed it today when I had a good look in daylight.

I got the bag for a good price and I don’t think the shop miss sold it. It was graded as very good overall and I would agree with that.

And I think I can live with the corner wear as you can only really see it if you look closely when it’s being worn.

My question is about the general wear and tear of this type of leather. The fact that it’s not particularly battered given the age for me is a good sign but I thought I’d ask the question before I take the no returns tag off.

I did search and found an old thread which implied Chanel metallic leathers wear pretty well but I’m not sure if they’re different kinds of metallic leather if that makes sense.

Otherwise, I like the bag very much. it’s casual enough to do daytime but special enough to do an evening (in my opinion), particularly given the shiny hardware. Not that I ever go anywhere particularly fancy but you know - options!

Have any of you lovely ladies got this bag and can speak to it durability (given I don’t know how much it’s been used to date ie amount carried vs sat in it’s dust bag)

Note: I will of course get a third-party authentication

Hi all, just bought a Cubi preloved in the jacquard white color. There was a little bit of stickiness (possibly glue) and a few spots of dirt on the outside. Im wondering if anyone has cleaning tips for loewe jacquard fabric? I’m worried about the threads pilling up. Thanks in advance!

Kind of curious, for those who got a 36 mm DJ did any of you regret not getting a 31 mm?

Reposting- NOT asking for auth!

This has been on my wish list for a while now. I have a small original puzzle in caramel and love it, but the mini edge really caught my eye! I ordered one from Fashionphile but some of the stitching was off so I wanted to order a brand new one to see if I could get past the minor flaw.

If I keep I will likely keep the one on the right (from Neiman Marcus) without flaws, though it didn’t come w a dust bag.

Should I keep?! Posting pics of both but again, would keep the NM one.

Thanks!

I don’t think this has been shared already….

I want to buy a basket bag. I hesitate between Loewe basket medium and Celine basket teen. Which one is bigger? Celine medium is too big for me, I wouldn't use it. I'm looking for a summer bag for every day and not just for the beach.

There are so many postings about Polene, both in the Forum and on PB itself. And the brand has become globally well known, with stores outside France. And non-bag products. IMO, it's time to seriously consider moving the brand out of the general "handbags & purses" forum and to give it a dedicated space on the Contemporary Designers forum. It's already one of the 10 brands featured on the brands drop-down list on PB's website.

What do you think?

I started with a speedy 25 about 30 years ago. Went up to a 30 and then bought the 35 when I was working. She’s been in her dust bag for the past 6+ years sleeping soundly. I need an everyday speedy. I am unable to go to a boutique so I was wondering if there was anyone 5’3” who could model a 25 and also can someone post the inside of what it could hold. My wallet I think is like the Sarah but it’s also about 30 years old so I forget the name. Thank you so much for your help!

I am wanting to explore some new perfumes for the fall. Are there any out there that you think I should try because they are fabulous. I am not familiar yet with too many coming out in the fall. I obviously would like to see how they match with my skin. I am looking for a couple of new ones for the fall that I can make my own. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a pre-loved square chevron mini in caviar leather. It's from the 16S collection, so the leather is quite sturdy and stiff. I really love the style of this bag, and after searching for a while, I was finally able to find it. However, I’ve noticed a crease on the flap, even when the bag is closed. Does anyone know how I might smooth out or remove the creasing on the caviar leather? Also, any tips on preventing it from getting worse would be greatly appreciated!

I got offered a beautiful K25 in Rose Sakura Swift recently from the boutique, and I already noticed the side dents when the S.A. unboxed it, but at the time he said Swift leather can sometimes be like that due to its soft character, and to be honest I was too excited at the time to examine further. However, I’ve had a chance to look into this more at home and it seems like the side dents are more than the “soft nature” of the leather - if you look at the inside lining of the side panels, it clearly looks like the bottom part is becoming detached (i.e. the lining isn’t properly glued / attached to the exterior layer - see third photo).

Anyone had this issue before? Anyone had side dents with their brand new swift leather bags from boutique?

I’m bringing this in to the store in couple days to have them look at it. I’m hoping they can fix it even if I have to wait 6 months 😔 because I really love the Rose Sakura and you all know how hard it is for one of these to come by… does anyone have experience with bringing bags back to the store? What options were you given?

I saw that there will be a new bag pack soon launched In the Dior boutiques . What do you guys think ? They have it in two sizes !

Hello!
So I was in Monaco and was able to pick up the evelyne in my top choice color. In my excitement I tried it on and said yes immediately, but now that I am home I realized something is off with the strap. It’s entirely too short! It measures about 35 in or so and the drop is maybe 17-18 in?? All the measurements I’ve been reading online have been saying that the drop is normally 22 in so mine is def shorter and fits snug crossbody which is primarily how I want to use this bag. Does Hermes even make these short strap evelyne tpms? Was I given a defective one? Any hopes of exchanging it at my local store or will
My SA hate me forever if I ask? Not going back to Monaco any time soon. Please help!

Hi! I'm looking for a bag that will be appropriate for evening work events (such as holiday parties), nice dinners, cocktail parties, and that sort of thing. Preferably it would work at any time of year and be the bag/purse I wear on fancy or formal occasions. I'm thinking a clutch or possibly top handle, but I don't really know the finer points of what bags should be worn on what occasions. I have a few pictures below of items I'm considering, but if any of these are not right for what I've mentioned, please let me know.

At these types of events I usually wear colors like navy, burgundy/deep red, black, cream/winter-white, jewel tones like royal blue, ruby red, or emerald green. I'm thinking either black or a natural snake-print would work with most of those colors.

Also, if you have any ideas that would work better than the ones below, I would love to hear your thoughts. I'd rather stay under $5,000 usd.

Serpentine mini top handle:


One of these Fendi Firsts:

Hello 👋

Please help me decide - should I take these sweet Alhambra turquoise studs?

What are your thoughts on it? I have never had anything with turquoise before as I always thought it clashes with my skin tone.

Also, my other dilemma is that I tend to prefer buying sets with at least 2 items. I don’t think WG turquoise is available in a pendant or even a sweet size bracelet 🤔

Thank you in advance!

I’m looking to get the Chaine d'ancre soon for my index finger. What is the sizing like compared to a Carrier small Love ring?

Thanks!

All,

I’ve only recently gotten into jewelry, period. In the course of a few weeks, I have acquired a soleste eternity ring which I stack with a gold small love Paloma ring (both gold). My most recent purchase is a metro hinged one row bangle (rose gold). I’m looking for ideas for what to put with this metro bangle on a daily basis. I’d like to see any and all of your stacks that feature a metro or similar diamond bangle. Cartier cord trinity? Gold trinity? Sweet Alhambra? I want to see it all!!!

I can’t figure out what colors to pair this with. The color looks cream in the photos but against true cream, it has a milky moonstone pinky tone.

The LV is a white, blue, pink swirl, think opal.

It looks okay with pastels but that’s all I can come up with. Thoughts?

New “pearlescent” metallic colors in coral, blue, and green launched today in the U.S. Available in the Bohème Hobo Bag, the Saïgon Structuré Nano, and the Saint Louis PM and GM sizes. The Saint Louis bags include a coordinating Croc Universal magnetic bag fastening system.

Please feel free to add pricing, photos, and additional details!

Hello ladies,

I am very interested in the Capucines in size BB.
Does anyone know if this size holds a small 0.5 litre water bottle? I find the PM almost a bit too bulky for me. The bag would definitely have to fit a small water bottle, a small umbrella, my Calvi duo, my keys, the rain cover for the bag, my Samsung S22 and possibly my LV mini pochette accessories. Unfortunately, I don't have a store nearby to see it in person. The dimensions should fit, but even my Kelly 25 fits much less than the measurements suggest

Thank you in advance for your answers 😊
