Hi all! I bought the Nano Alma in quartz in March, and I’m pretty upset because the corners of the bag have gotten scuffed. The color is so light that any imperfections are very very noticeable. What should I do? I thought about sending it in for repair but it takes so long and don’t want them to tell me they can’t do anything but change out the learner. I added a photo for reference. I considered getting a leather repair kit to just fill the scuffs but again the color is very specific and it would stand out if it’s not perfect.

Any reviews on this brand? Seeing some pieces on nordys site that look nice

Which to choose?

Can someone tell me if the vintage hammered gold pieces are finished on both sides? I’m assuming since this piece is so popular I may have to order sight unseen, so I wanted to know. I know from your pictures that the pave is not. It would drive me nuts to be flipping it over all the time if I got the bracelet.

I see plenty of pics of people stacking both of these bracelets, but I'm wondering how they'd look worn alone and not stacked?

I'm contemplating putting one of the two on my list, both fit the price point that I am willing to spend (I could do the small JUC with the demi pave too, but that's the upper limit, budget wise).

I can see myself occasionally stacking whichever bracelet I get with a tennis bracelet, but about 90% of the time I'd wear it alone.

I don't want the regular love bracelet because I hate the idea of a bracelet I can't regularly take off; and the regular JUC is priced significantly higher than I want to go. I could do the love cuff though, I just generally prefer full bracelets to cuffs.

Suggestions, thoughts and inspo pics are super welcome and appreciated!! Thanks!

Please help me decide on blue or green VCA bracelet ? I own the 5 motif Guilloche bracelet.. I want to add color now..

I read an article that the Panthère watch will be released in a bigger size August or September this year. Does someone know more about it?

I’ve always loved the small reissue camera. There are two I’m currently eyeing - the black glazed and the grey aged calfskin. Which would you choose and why? Interested in any comments about which color and type of leather you think is preferable.

Hi tpf friends. Hoping you will weigh in on this, as I need to make a decision ASAP. I recently decided I "needed" the Gucci Queen Margaret bag with the jeweled bee clasp and pink top handle. After a quick search online, I discovered one at a price that appeared too good to be true. Most of these bags on resale market appeared to range from around $1000 all the way upto $4000 for a couple of listings with the majority in the $1400-$2400 range and a few in the $1000-1100 range in "good" condition (versus very good or excellent) with noted odor/scratches, etc.

I ended up paying just under $900 Including sales tax and shipping, which I believed to be a stellar deal. The bag arrived last night and is in fine shape with no noticeable imperfections, however, I realize it is missing the pink luggage tag and strap. Not sure how I overlooked this in the listing, because i'm usually particular about such details. I think I looked at so many listings trying to assess the condition and figure out the best deal that I acted in a rush.

The bag actually looks fine without these items but of course I feel like I want the luggage tag and strap and am "missing out" by not having these items (whether I would use them or not). The next best deal I can find with shipping and tax will be $1044 or $1087. After original seller offered a small discount for me to keep the bag bc I pointed out a pearl was missing (which I later found and can try to superglue back into bee) I ended up only paying $787 for bag.

Do you think I should just keep bc I got such a bargain (can't even get WOC for this price) or Is it worth it to just pay $250-300 more to get bag with the missing items? Or just use bag as is and save the money?

I'm attaching photos that show what looks like with and without. TIA!

Hi,

I live in a country without a VCA boutique (though it is possible to buy online), and next week we'll be going on holiday to a country where their items are substantionally cheaper. Obviously, this means that it's time for my first VCA-purchase!

I am thinking of getting the vintage Alhambra necklace, and I had my mind set on Onyx or the darker MOP. I've got very fair skin, so I personally prefer something that gives a bit more of a contrast. But now, as I made my research, I realised that the Malachite at our destination would still be cheaper than getting the MOP/Onyx in my home country. But is the Malachite really that delicate?

Onyx/MOP might be easier to match on a daily basis, but Malachite is just so beautiful
So, help a girl out please!

Hello! I got the rose gold mini 3 years ago and babied the bag quite a bit. Within 1 year of getting it, the turn lock fell off! But Chanel fixed it for free.

I recently took it out to use and found weird spots all over the bag. This is my first metallic bag, is this normal?

TIA!

Hello everyone!

I saw this Glenan H leather bracelet on the website, but there is not much information about the leather listed. Is Bouton D'or the leather type?

How does the leather of this bracelet hold up. My boyfriend has a braided H bracelet and it is wearing quite badly. Maybe this leather is stronger?

Hope someone has experience with this leather. ☺️

Anyone have this tote? My local boutique doesn’t have it so I can’t see in person. Will probably just purchase online and hope I love it.

Used my Bottega knot clutch today. In my purse I had one pack of cigarette, one lighter, a lipgloss, my card holder and my house key. Just discovered this marks. I don’t think it is the lighter..but maybe it is? Anyone who knows and any tips to how to wash it?

Hello everyone,

Recently I’ve been in love with Hermes bags (I think our tastes get better with age?). I have many bags from other brands like Chanel, Celine, Dior and this year I saw a Picotin in RL- I loved it!- so I decided to hunt one from their websites after months of trying, and I was lucky enough to grab one in orange 🍊😍
Seeing their quality and craftsmanship made me to consider buying only Hermes bags in the future!
After reading the posts here I realized that my chances in buying the bags I want in the exact colors I want are very low especially if I want to build a profile, that’s why I should consider a personal shopper with their prices 😅..
I decide to post my two options here and I need your opinions as experts:
1- I buy a 24/24 mini in gold with GHW (of course from a personal shopper)
Or
2- I should save up my money (and wait at least another year to double my money😆) and purchase a 25 Birkin in gold with GHW from a personal shopper

What would you do? I would appreciate your inputs 🙏

Hello fellow LV fans! I’m looking for some advice. I’m doing some travel this summer and fall. I’ll be going to Italy, Egypt, and Greece. I want to get a bag that will be good for sightseeing that is light weight but I will also feel like it’s safe. I keep hearing stories about tourists getting pickpocketed in Italy, so I’m a little nervous. Would the mini bum bag be a good travel bag? I’m thinking because it will be close to my chest or around my waist it will be better than a shoulder bag or tote bag. I just need to carry my phone, passport, card case, chapstick, and small sunscreen. I know the cognac empreinte mini bum bag will be released just before I head out on my travels, so I’m thinking about picking that up. Thoughts? Or would another bag be a good option? Thanks in advance!

I'm looking at a red bag from 2005 but it's not specified which red it is.... I know that Rouge Garance came out later and also R Casaque and the newer reds, I'm thinking only Rouge Vif and Vermillion were available back then (of course there's also Rouge H but I'm talking about bright reds) can someone with a better memory than myself confirm or correct? Thanks a lot

What are everyone’s thoughts on the puffer Goya?



The leather looks so sumptuous

I haven’t seen this style much on the forum, but I’m really drawn to the anagram logo which is what made me fall in love with Loewe in the first place. A lot of styles seem to have the brand name on now like the puzzle tote, paseo and new flamenco styles

Just recieved my beautiful Celine Multipochette in black shiny leather last night after weeks of considerations and moths of saving up for my dream bag.

I couldn’t wait wearing the bag to my outfits this weekend. It therefore came as a chock when I opened the box and discovered it has muliple quality issues. The leather on the side is wrinkled and it looks like the coating on the bag is way too thick compared to the rest of the bag. It looks shiny ( almost patent) and feels sticky. Attached pictures to show the difference between the leather qualities on left and right side of the bag..
The bottom also looks really bad and have cuff marks from the leather strap and chain that was pushed inside the bag making it bulky.
the bottom also looks wrinkly and worn..
I just cant accept these flaws on a bag worth 2200 euros..

Im so disappointed and sad right now.
Im able to return the bag, but have to send it back to Celine by mail which means I wont get my money back for at least 2-3 weeks.
Celine does not even offer exchanges for orders in my country so I will have to wait for my refund before I place a new order.

Now Im struggeling on what to do with this as I dont really trust Celine to send me a bag in perfect condition.

Should I consider a different brand?

I am thinking of getting a clash ring to stack with my JUC ring. Does anyone have the same stacking? Would you mind share some model photos? Should the Clash ring one size smaller than JUC ring for the best alignment, like when you stack the bracelets? TIA!

Does anyone have this necklace? I would love to see pictures of it on people other than their models. My closest Cartier is about an hour away, so I can't just pop over without it being a project.
Thanks!

Hello all,
I need some opinions. I’m looking to stack a bracelet with my Cartier Clash small size. So it’s a toss up between the Van Cleef sweet Alhambra 6 motif in RG or Roberto Coins Poi Mois bangle in YG. What do y’all think?

Just received a text from my SA on this new bag - looks like a similar, more modern take on another H bag to me.

I'm not a Birkin gal so the similarities make it a hard no for me, but wondering what others think? It seems intriguing but perhaps rather fiddly.

Seasonal colour/color analysis and (applying it to one's wardrobe and makeup choices) seems to be very popular at the moment.

I thought we could have a thread to discuss different systems, the pluses and the minuses. Even whether you think it's all hocus-pocus.

I've studied art, and there was a lot of colour theory (I recommend Patrick Baty's The Anatomy of Colour and The Book of Colour Concepts (Taschen)). Pure colour science and theory (7) and applied (semiotics) is not really what I want to talk about here, although it's related. I want to explore the colour systems that explore harmony for style and wardrobe.

Some of the 4/12 seasonal theory doesn't make sense in practice but it's better than someone giving me only 5 colours to wear.

I've been 'diagnosed' twice, both times using the same 12 season theory (the 'draping' was done differently). The first time I was told I was a 'Soft Autumn' the last time a 'Bright Spring' (I'm not asking for a diagnosis - I don't particularly like any of the palettes exclusively). As you can imagine, I am near neutral - but high colour (peach). My take is that what suits me suits me, what doesn't, doesn't. If I know what I should stay away from (taupes, mushrooms, ice-blue, rich cream, Barbie pink, dark magenta, most pastels/dusties etc) then I'm fine with the rest.

I'm not against consultations. I think it's (mostly) money well spent so long as the consultant doesn't tell you to ditch your entire wardrobe and buy a new one (as was the case of another friend). Anything that gives us more insight into ourselves is great. I really enjoyed looking at myself more objectively. I always though 'peach undertone' meant very warm, now I understand I'm almost neutral (as much 'pink' as 'yellow') a lot of things make sense (looking awful in strong creams or warm beige for instance).

In terms of theory into practice, I think anything works really well if someone is typical, especially in the extreme, but not so easy if you don't fit. People with olive (my sister) peach (me) purple (my friend) also don't lean 'warm = yellow / cool = pink. And since when did red/pink become cool colours? My taps beg to differ.

I know there are a lot of different systems out there too. I know there's one that basically just says don't go darker than your darkest colour, no lighter than your lightest, use your lip colour for your 'hottest look' etc. There there are others that use digital analysis of one's skin and harmonise shapes for patterns and details of the wardrobe/jewellery as well as colour.

I just wondered if others have had experience in terms of consultations with any o the systems, and what you did as a result? If you diagnosed yourself? If you did more than one, which systems work(ed) best? Or whether you think the whole thing is a scam?
