Hi! Debating between the small lady dior my ABCDior bag or the medium lady d-joy. I like the personalization with the charms on the ABCDior and it’s a classic bag. I feel like the d-joy can be worn more casually and it’s nice that it comes with different straps. Do you think the d-joy will also be a classic bag or will it go out of style? Is one bag easier to wear than the other?

Max you’ll pay for jewelry

I love indulging in jewelry, I consider them the best accessories a woman can have and I tell myself that they are a store of value. I’m eyeing a ridiculously expensive VCA YG with diamonds necklace, that is about 4x my monthly income 😳😁. I’m responsible financially and have solid savings and investing accounts. But how much is too much? what’s the max you’ll spend on jewelry (quote amounts or income ratio). I know we all have different financial situation but humor me.

Bottega Veneta zipper/hardware replacement

Hi all,

I got a Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie two years ago in Blaster, and am still loving it.

Recently, I noticed a very tiny chip to the zip pull as well as some inevitable hairline scratches from use.

Just wanted to ask:

1) Has anyone on here required hardware/zip replacements on their Bottegas? I imagine they won’t just be able to replace the zip pull and will have to change out the entire zip - or am I mistaken?

2) Will I be able to get the hardware replaced for free or for a fee if the bag was purchased from an official BV retailer?

For context, the wear on the zip pull is hardly noticeable at present, especially due to the aged gold hardware (see photo, for which I had to zoom in very closely to capture). It’s unlikely I’ll get it changed anytime soon - but I want to plan ahead just in case.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sale haul

I know a lot of folks were not enthused by the summer sale, but I managed to find a few pieces that I liked during the sale, so I thought I would share!

IMG_8124.jpeg

Yes, there’s a little Hermes orange peeking out of one of my bags. I made a stop at Hermes as well and tried to combine everything into one bag. 😂

First up is a burgundy wrap coat.

Next up are some house check pumps :)

I was really happy when I saw this cardigan on sale!

And a bucket bag! This one I’m questioning a bit because LV is going to be re-releasing the cognac colour empreinte bags in a couple months and I missed it last time. It’s a similar shade, so I’m worried it will be redundant. But the price on this is so nice.

Thanks for letting me share! 🧥🧡💛

Storing Diorama?

Heya! I couldn’t find past discussions on this so wanted to pose a question.

For those who have a Diorama (WOC or medium size) - how do you store them? Upright or on lying on their backs? I’ve heard storing upright can overtime cause them to sag… is that true?!

Appreciate any thoughts as I love the structure of both sizes and want to maintain it with proper storage.

Second bag this week

This week I was particularly lucky. After the Étui Hac a Box I got in Berlin, I got offered a Evelyne TPM in Prague. Just as in Berlin, I could choose between gold and black. I picked the latter this time because it has a special belt. It’s slightly more expensive than the ones with normal belt. I paid 44600 krona so about 1820 euros.

What stone would you choose for studs/earrings? Asking kindly for advice.

Thanks in advance. In short. I'm considering a stud or one dangling motif (not 3 because I feel it's a bit too much. Thank you Queen Consort Camilla. I'm pale and it barely changes (I'm still pale). I see mother of pearl as a classic and on everyone so I'm puzzled. I wonder if it could wash me out. I was considering malachite but haven't seen anyone I remember or googled with it. So a warning sign. Onyx - my fave/safe bracelets is onyx but it's next to my face. Pop of color or muted. Any advice appreciated.

Mini jypsiere in new color called sun. Should I keep it?

I know that the mini jypsiere was introduced last year and when I was offered this bag, I initially said no but felt this could be a perfect everyday bag as I am wearing mostly cross body bags lately. What do you think of the color and this style?

  • Warm desert

  • Sea salt

    Votes: 14 42.4%

I'm trying to decide between warm desert with ghw and sea salt with shw. I'm looking for a bag I can wear during the day, transition to evening wear, and perhaps bring to a wedding. My outfits are pretty casual and I wear a lot of black, blue, and neutrals.

Does warm desert seem too casual? I'm a fan of the colour as it seems like the bag will be the highlight of an outfit and is less likely to stain.

With sea salt, I feel like the bag itself wouldn't standout but would complement more colours, outfits, and also hide scratches better.

Does anyone have experience with light coloured Loewe bags and if jeans or dark colour clothes will stain the bag?

Thanks!!

Can anyone explain why the Lady Dior has poor resale value?

I want the UltraMatte bag or the one that is diamond quilted but as I read reviews on the bags, I see several saying the bag has poor resale value.

Why is that? My mom owns a large Lady Dior she bought years ago and still has it. She’s not planning on selling it, but I’m curious about why so many people who purchased it say this.

Thanks in advance!

Alhambra earring weight

Hi. My only Alhambra earrings I own are the WG guilloche. I find the weight of these to be "noticeable". I can wear them through dinner and a broadway show but I have to admit that I take them off immediately when I get home. I have been waiting for over 9 months for a pair of YG pave VA earrings and was told by my SA that they would weigh less, I was wondering if anyone knew the exact weight of these 3 earrings as well as the YG MOP VA earrings. If the MOP are considerably lighter than the other 2, I may go ahead and get these since I would more likely be able to wear them all day, they are in stock, and match my 6 motif magic necklace. If the MOP and pave are about the same weight, I will continue to wait since I have other Alhambra necklaces that I can wear with the pave earrings.
