I've been pretty active following the BV subforum as I am in love with this brand! I have shared my experiences and reviews on the Hop bag thread, and I have only good things to say about this bag.
I purchased the bag 4 months ago and have been wearing it regularly as I adore it so much, it's my first BV bag. I check on it from time to time for signs of wear and tear, and I am very impressed so far!

Until today, I decided to pick it up at home to admire its beauty, and to my shock I found broken stitches along the piping of the opening. I checked with photos that I have taken upon unboxing and I can't believe that I have missed out on this 'defect' since day 1 of receiving it. I worry that the stitches may eventually loosen over time.

Unfortunately this bag does not come with a the lifetime certificate of craft. Is it my fault for overlooking this 'defect' and continued wearing it so happily all these while?
What should I do? Send it back for evaluation/reparation (possibly bearing reparation costs)? Or suck it up myself and continue using it because I was careless to have not spotted this 'defect'. I've attached some photos below..

This is the photo I took right after unboxing. Was too happy and didn't notice the broken stitches.

Help me choose which multipochette

Hi!

I'm thinking about getting the Celine Multipochette as a birthday gift for myself, but I'm torn between the smooth black and the monogram finishes.

I'm really drawn to the monogram version—I love the brown strap, the fact that it's waterproof, and the lower price is a nice bonus. On the other hand, the smooth black is just so elegant and timeless, making it perfect for transitioning from day to night.

At the moment, I'm leaning towards the monogram, but I’m curious about how the monogram look will age over time. I want a bag that I can enjoy and cherish for years to come. . Do you think the monogram might be too trend-driven?

I’ve attached some pictures for reference. I'd love to hear your thoughts—what do you think?

Justbag.net Reviews?

Has anyone purchased anything from JustBag.net? I've found they are a "boutique" out of Florida, but the address in Google Maps shows an apartment complex. This could be just someone running their business out of their home, but I've also discovered some other strange things. When I searched for reviews online, I found 2 other websites with the exact photos of the bag I am looking at, $1000 less than what it is listed for on JustBag.net and Poshmark (under JustBag's account) and they are both listed as sold. I found a bunch of reviews on Trust Pilot, but they are all by people (mostly men) with middle eastern names and the reviews are vague. They have 95k listings on Poshmark, but only 32 "love notes" which are all positive. Just hoping someone on here has had experience with them to ease my mind. I realize if I purchase through Poshmark, the bag will be authenticated prior to being sent to me, but I'm more concerned about the condition. The pics look great, but seeing the exact same pics on other pages for items marked sold is concerning. I may get an authentic bag, but one not in the condition the photos suggest.

Smelly birkin box? Not in good way!

I got my b30 a few months ago. Happy yay! BUT!!! A couple of months later the box started to emit a bad odor similar to poor quality paper bags. This never happened before, and a couple of my QBs from resellers smell like men’s cologne, one from 2010 and one from 2020. Has anyone experienced this or knows what’s going on? Any help appreciated :)

YSL Tribute or Valentino Rockstud

1) TRIBUTE: Patent or Smooth Leather?
I’m sure many of you have both, trying to decide which is better between the two.

2) If you have to pick one, would you go with Tribute (low heel) or Rockstud (kitten heel) in term of comfort?

I’m having a very difficult time deciding which to invest on… Would be my very first pair of nice heels and I would very much like for it to be comfortable as well.
Your input is greatly appreciated! Tyvmia. ♡

Explosion of “what should I do?” threads?

Is the explosion of these threads (what color should I get, does this color hold its value, my sa said x what does it mean, should I switch stores, should I accept a bag I hate) as mentioned in unpopular opinions by @880 a result of much much younger people being drawn to the brand?

I guess I am old, never in a million years would I ask the internet what color bag I should spend $12k on.

Help style me. I need good bag recommendations for zimmermann clothing that isn’t “precious”

I have recently been on a zimmermann kick and I have determined I need a nice pastel evening appropriate bag.

Thinking of a cream, pale yellow, baby blue etc.

I don’t want to look too precious and girly. I like my clothes to have a bit of edge to them. Something unexpected.

Giovanna batagglia is my fashion icon to give some idea of Inspo.

I have seen zimmermann styled with mini kellys, mini coco handles etc but that still feels a bit precious to me. I thought of the Dior saddle bag but the shape and limited interior space makes this bag a hard no.

Any other thoughts on ways to edge these dresses up a bit?

This may be the wrong forum to ask I know and apologies Mods if this question has been asked, I couldn't find it.

I used to be obsessed with the Love bracelet, purchased the cuff and wore it for a few years before purchasing the bangle several years ago now..

I swore I would never want to take it off and absolutely adored it. But over the past 18 months or so I have gradually fallen more and more out of Love with it.

I took it off a few weeks ago as I purchased the small JUC which I'm really enjoying alone. It's early days but currently I really don't want to put it on again! I think it's partly that it feels like everyone I know either has one or in the case of my work place a fake one. I'm just so over seeing it everywhere.

I'm still hoping that I'll fall back in love with it in a few weeks / months and that this is just due to getting something new, has this has happened to anyone else?

Please don't come for me.. I know a lot of people love it and it can look beautiful on them, but curious to know if I'm alone here on this?

Hi ladies, I am looking to get a watch and I’m torn between these 3!

I’m not really a watch person but would like to have atleast one nice watch in my collection so this will be my only watch beside my Apple Watch.

Don’t really care about it being quartz, etc. Resale value is also not important to me. It’s more the looks and wearability for me. I think all 3 are beautiful. Just can’t decide what’s the right one. This would be my only NICE watch so I want to get it right. Any thoughts? Anyone wear these for everyday?

The Rolex is 28mm and both Cartier is small.

Thought on this pink Prada bag?

What are your thoughts on this bag?

Was not in the market for anything but noticed it when I was checking out at the outlet yesterday (bought shoes) and thought it was kind of cute.

Original tag said price at boutique had been $4500. Outlet price was $2250 with additional 10% off, bringing price down to $2025. I saw one online in excellent condition for $1400 with coupon.

Would I be buying just bc I think I'm getting a good deal? Or is it worth getting? Cant decide if its fresh or just meh. I have several pink bags and I have several Prada bags but none that have the triangle logo. Probably shouldn't be buying anything that isn't spectacular at this point but hate to pass up a good bargain lol
