Kate Spade Crush, but bigger?

I'm hoping y'all can help me with a style search! My Crush bag in lime slice has quickly become my favorite bag, especially for its slouchy but not floppy posture. Unfortunately, it's really too small for me to use all the time as a work bag. Do any KS styles come to mind that have a similar vibe but are more like a small to medium tote bag or satchel in size? Not necessarily looking for a cross body, and my preference is to shop secondhand, so older designs are very welcome.
Thank you!

Medium Jodie and Large Hop?

Hi all, I can’t make my mind up so need your help please.

I want to purchase my first Bottega bag which I intend to use every day (through the British weather, public transport, work, errands etc). It would need to be capacious; both the medium Jodie and the large Hop fit the bill in terms of space.

I just don’t know which one to get - the medium Jodie in black or the large Hop in Fondant.

My thoughts so far - I’m tall so the large Hop doesn’t look silly on me, if anything the Medium Jodie looks a *bit* small or like a medium sized bag on me. There’s also something really luxe about the lambskin but the calfskin on the Hop would be more durable? Are any of these IT/trendy bags? Would the medium Jodie look better in the Fondant which is now available on 24S, theDoubleF, Farfetch, just not through Bottega. Is it worth paying the full price for the black Jodie to get the Certificate of Craft, as the large Hop which does not come with the lifetime warranty can be bought through promotions, so some saving to be made there as the prices are quite dear.

Sorry about my ramblings! TLDR- Which would you choose and why?

Does anyone own both and can let me know the pros and cons?

TIA :)

Celine Thais Tote

Hello. I recently purchased a Celine Thais Tote from a reputable personal shopper. Been purchasing from her for sometime now. However, my recent purchase of this tote has a printed interior compared to the one posted on Celine's website which has a plain interior. I checked the item code and it's similar except for the last 3 letters. Would anyone know if Celine produced a version with a printed interior? Attaching photos for reference.

HAC a box the phone case

IMG_2493.jpeg

I didn’t see much discussion about it here yet. I bought it a couple of days back in Berlin Ku’damm store and I had the choice between toffee Epsom silver for 3900 euros and black tadelakt silver for 4400 euros. I love tadelakt but as a phone case I would want it to be a bit sturdier, so I chose the former. I’ve been using it these past days and I realized that I rarely put my phone in it, as I needed it constantly in my hand. Instead I managed to squeeze my bearn card holder, my battery bank, and my iPod pro 2 into it. Be careful with the last one. Leave it at the top. The first day I pushed it into the bottom and I had to use a chopstick to get it out. IMG_2496.jpegIMG_2502.jpegIMG_2533.jpeg

I do feel it’s a lot of money for a phone case but these days prices are crazy and I have never seen it available on H website in Europe. On the contrary, it’s constantly available on Chinese website costing about 40% more. So Hermes is playing the ‘Japan game’ again. On some 2nd-hand platforms people are trying their luck selling it for over 10k. It’s so unreasonable!

Anyone excited for the new Daylong bag?

Me me me! I can’t wait to see it. First time in a long time since I got excited over a new LC launch. This one looks classy, minimalist and fuss free with drool worthy leather. Right up my alley. Can’t wait to see.

Anyone has the launch date and prices?

Halloween Collection?

Soooo not to get myself made fun of but is there a specific date the Halloween stuff comes out? Is it just an outlet thing? I’m not a huge Coach fan, so I just have no idea. I have a couple bags I adore I just mean I’m not enough of a fan to know the ins and outs 🥰 I am however a huge Halloween fan and I know that for spooky lovers July 1st is when some brands, stores, home decor, etc, the Halloween stuff comes out to play so I was just curious if anyone knew. I’m not even aware if it’s a yearly thing.

Guilloche vs. MOP necklace? Help me decide🙏🏻

Which one should I keep?

  • Guilloche

  • MOP


Results are only viewable after voting.

Hi, this is my first VCA post!
I ordered the vintage MOP alhambra & yg guilloche pendants online, and both came today. I can only keep one and need some help deciding which one.

My first piece was the carnelian vintage pendant, and I love it and have worn it to death; but I was itching to add a MOP pendant so I got the sweet butterfly necklace as my second piece. However, I still find myself drawn to the vintage alhambra.

The guilloche would be my first solid gold piece from VCA, and I thought it would be overpowering but it’s actually the perfect size for daily wear.

I’m including some pics of myself wearing both, and layered them with my other two pieces as well.
And quick question: does the MOP look okay? The last pic shows a streak of green running across, and I don’t know if that’s normal.

Thank you!!

Super Unique Aztec Fabric Reveal ?!

I saw this Mac online pre loved and had to have it. It’s my completely perfect summer aesthetic, I bought it the second I saw it. Well long before I had seen the Mab version of it and left it bookmarked because I thought it was a weekender for some reason. I didn’t need one. So once I got the Mac and knew I’d be using it a lot for vacations I went ahead and got the weekender… to find out it was a Mab 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t care for the Mab tbh. I have a Mab 2.0 that I’m just too obsessed with and I don’t see myself using this one. It doesn’t fill any wardrobe holes either but I’ll hold onto it just because it is a pretty cool duo to have 🥰 Especially since I used to be such an RM addict back in the mid-late 2010s or so, so finding these is so awesome.

Does anyone have any advice on flattening the Mab? Right now it’s just wrinkled. Not smushed down flat and not shaped either. I think if I could make it totally smushy I may use it sometimes. (P.S. in case it was sold by one of you I’m obsesseddddd I just can’t read and don’t know the difference between a well known classic and weekender 😂)

Has anyone ever sold all of their Hermes and regretted it?

Since 2008, I’ve collected more Hermes bags, scarves, shawls, fashion jewelry and shoes than I truly needed or wanted. I got swept up in the process, if you will.

Now I’m 62 and have completely changed my life from that of a woman who works, lives in a big city, and had two kids living at home, to a woman who spends the better part of the year up at our new farm in the middle of nowhere.

The majority of my bags and scarves have been snoozing in a closet for years. The only ones I use are the more under-the-radar ones in my collection. Neither of our daughters has expressed any interest in them. They too live different lifestyles. Which brings me to a question that I toy with regularly…do I sell it all with the hopes that these things get used and loved by others, or do I hang on to some in case I—or my daughters—change their minds? Has anyone sold their entire collection and never looked back?

Jewelry houses with sparkly pendant/necklace chains?

Hi Everyone!

As the title of my post suggests, I’m curious about which luxury jewelry houses have pedants and necklaces with sparkly chains.

I actually don’t mind matte chains and often feel they are better to let the pendant take the spotlight, but I’d like to know which have sparkle for when I want that look.

From owning and trying on, my observations:

Sparkly chains: Cartier, VCA. Not luxury, but most Costco pendants also have sparkly chains!

Matte chains: Tiffany, Harry Winston

I’m especially curious about Graff, Chopard, Bvlgari, and Mikimoto pendants—not familiar with whether their chains sparkle

I hate my soft 16

3 years ago, I brought a navy soft 16 in Nordstrom. At the time, I really wanted the tan color, but I wasn’t finding it anywhere, so I went with navy. Well, it’s been all this time and I have basically not touched it. The style is a little fussy to get in and out of, and I have no idea how to style a navy bag. I mostly wear black/white/grey neutrals, and the navy seems to clash with everything I wear.

What would you do? If I sell, I’m looking at only getting about $1,000. If I keep it, it just sits around unused. Am I missing a way to style this bag?

Hi! I am looking to buy my first Hermes quota bag. Today, I saw a bag at a reputable re-seller for a Vintage Black Box Leather Kelly in Black w/ Gold Hardware. All-In w/ tax it would be 12K. Is this a good price? The bag is in v good condition and minimal signs of wear. It comes with: Clochette, Keys, Lock, Dust bag, Detachable Strap.
