Hi!

Does anyone have any experience with the Speedy Trunk 25? I've seen it online and I can't get to the boutique for a few weeks so I'm interested in some input on the bag so I don't just order it without knowing anything 😅

Hi all,

I recently bought the Roquette bag from Les Ateliers Auguste. I love the color and the design however, after some wear (no miss-use, just across the body like in their ad photos), a leather tear appeared at a week point, between the main body and the wing flap, where the strap is hooked. I contacted the shop and they agreed to either exchange or offer a 30% off discount for me to keep it.

Normally I would take the discount if the issue is minor, but in this case, I'm afraid the leather tear will only get worse. In this case an exchange may be better than taking a discount. Does anyone have any experience in leather tear issues in a handbag? I'm also afraid that this may be a construction/design problem, due to the wing flaps inevitably bend backwards to "wrap" around the body. I'm conflicted if this is just a one-off quality issue or would happen eventually due to the design. I'm also starting to see the edge paint cracking at a similar point but on the other, slanted-bottom, side.

The have a one year warranty against any manufacturing defect, which does not cover normal wear and tear, abnormal use or accidental damage. The brand is small so unfortunately there aren't many people discussing about the qualities of their bags but I really enjoyed carrying this bag and would appreciate any advice!

So I cannot figure out for the life of me how I did this but I inadvertently put my silver Fendi baguette slides into the washing machine. I discovered this when I was going to transfer clothes from washer to dryer. One shoe looks fine but the silver finish on one of the leather logos is washed off in a couple areas in the other. I cannot believe I did something so stupid. Anyone know if its possible or how how I might be able to get this repaired? I'm attaching a photo. If you look closely at the shoe on the right (left foot) you'll see the missing silver sling top and right side of the rectangular FF part. Thank you in advance for anyone who has a suggestion.

So I impulsively bought a suede Brooklyn. It’s the lighter color, sand maybe? I have never owned a suede bag. It has scared me in the past lol. I walked by the store and saw it and couldn’t resist. They said they didn’t have a suede spray anymore but wouldn’t recommend one. What can I use that won’t darken it? Should I be scared of color transfer? Is this a high maintenance mistake? i have used kiwi protect all on LV vachetta and Uggs with no issues. Is it safe?

Google has me leaning towards returning right now and I really love the bag. 😕 it’s the first Coach bag I’ve bought in years since the Disney World rogue and now I may go on a Coach spree if this Brooklyn works out! LV prices turned me off and the quality of the new Coach items is amazing.

Hi my Palm Springs pm so badly damaged ,l truly think it’s quality fault not wear and tear . What you guys think ?

Hi!
I’m having a beautiful bag in my mind. LV Petit Palais.
I bought Grand Palais when the bag came. I think it was 2021. However so I returned the Grand Palais because it had a big sacking in the bottom on the left side of the bag.
I changed to Onthego MM instead.
Now I was looking for Neonoe in empriente black leather. But my eyes fell on Petit Palais 😍
I just fell in love directly so now I’m just having that bag in my mind.
If someone has the Petit and what you thoughts of the bag?
My mind is 😜
Thanks in advance
🥰

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could please tell me the length of the strap. I’m 5’7 and want to know if I can wear the bag crossbody or if it would be too short. Thank you!

What do you all think of it? It is a series 15 and I thought it is holding up quite well. However the bottom of the bag in the front seems to be sagging ? Is it normal?

Daughter and I did something together on Saturday, we got our hair braided. I grew out my last hair do, liked it at first and then starting not to like it. We like doing something together and it was her idea. My boyfriend's cousin Imani did ours, said she does to white and black women. I was first and did not look back.Daughter was next and next was seeing our looks. She did not see mine at first. It was a cool reaction from both of us. I actually love this one and keeping it and she is keeping hers. My boyfriend loves them, he has them as well and Imani did his.

I'd consider this a snug-ish fit....it was suggested by my SA but I know it boils down to personal preference.

81 years old but what really amazes me - she only had 3 outfit changes!

Does anyone have a Bonnie bag (preferably medium/large)? How do you like it? They seem to fit quite a bit.
It is one of few E-W bags I really like, just not a fan of paying for a crossbody strap I will never use, because these long handles are going to flap around and annoy me😄
I would love to hear your opinions!
(Edit because I forgot the foto)

This new handbag caught my eye. What do you think about it? It might be on my "to buy" list!!!!!!

Have you ever lost anything out of your baguette. Where the open area is on each side. I have lost an extra slim pair of reading glasses and a lippie. These were out of mini baguettes.

I love love the bag but it makes me hesitant to buy a medium size. Like I need to move on from a design that I lose stuff out of.

Anyone know what the H store in Prague is like? I may be there in the fall, very briefly, and am wondering if I go, what to expect.

Hi! I have a few Chanel bags that I never really use, and I’m considering selling them. I was wondering if anyone here has traded in Chanel bags for a Mini Kelly at LoveLuxury? Has anyone done it before and could share their experience or give any tips?

Hi everyone! I’m new to watches and looking for some advice. I never used to wear a watch until I got a Cartier Mini Panthère, which I now wear casually, not daily. I still sometimes skip a watch if I’m wearing a bracelet, since I don’t like wearing both at the same time.

Lately I’ve been thinking about adding one more watch, something bolder and sportier. I came across the Rolex Daytona on Oysterflex and was immediately drawn to it. The idea of wearing a sporty watch brings back the feeling I had as a teen wearing a pastel pink plastic-strap Guess watch, it felt fun and cool, and I wore it all the time. I especially love the Everose case with the black rubber strap, but I also like the look of the steel version. Although I haven't tried on any of the Daytonas yet.

I’m not planning to buy anything right away. I want to give myself time to be sure it’s the right piece, but I’d love to hear thoughts from others. Any women here wearing the Daytona, especially on Oysterflex? Is it comfortable? Easy to style casually? Does it draw attention in cities, or does the rubber strap help it fly under the radar? I keep my jewelry minimal, just small diamond studs and an engagement ring, so I imagine it wouldn’t feel too flashy.

Also curious to hear from anyone who wears the Daytona or other sporty watches somewhat regularly. Thanks in advance!

Hi LV Fans!!

I've been eyeing the new LV Trunkie but have serious concerns over the wear and tear on the metal hardware corners. For those who own recent trunk-inspired LV pieces (ex- Side Trunk, Speedy Trunk etc) with the hardware corners- how is the wear and tear??

The Trunkie has so many design elements I love: Large flap, studs, black Macassar leather trim, magnetic closure, microfiber lining, chain can be worn multiple ways, lightweight canvas. Seriously what is not to love, sounds like my perfect LV bag. Link: https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/trunkie-monogram-nvprod6090072v/M14526

Would love your thoughts on corner wear and tear from existing owners for this and similar bags- thank you!!

Buyer Beware: TheRealReal and a $32,000 Problem 🚨

I want to caution others—especially those of us who invest in luxury items—about a deeply concerning experience I had with TheRealReal, a site that markets itself as a trusted reseller of authenticated designer goods.

I purchased a Van Cleef & Arpels item for $32,587.93. Upon receipt, I noticed inconsistencies in the stamping and design details that raised serious questions about authenticity. Out of an abundance of caution, I documented the repackaging on video and returned the item promptly, well within their return window.

Here’s where it gets worse:
TheRealReal’s own rep confirmed the return item was received. Despite this, I received no refund by the 5th business day (for processing), and no substantive follow-up even though they promised to “escalate” to the team, I eventually had to file a dispute with PayPal just to reclaim the over $32,000 they were holding. Only after initiating the dispute did I finally receive my refund.

Adding insult to injury, TheRealReal then emailed me implying that I violated their Terms of Service for initiating a chargeback. For seeking the return of my money—after they violated their own return policies.

This was my first and only purchase from TheRealReal. It will also be my last. I had even considered consigning with them, but now I’ll be taking that business elsewhere—and cautioning my circle.

To anyone buying luxury: be careful who you trust. Authenticity and accountability should not be optional at this price point. Lesson learned 🫠

Hi, I am looking to buy my first VA bracelet in malachite and looking for your opinion. For those who wear their bracelets everyday, do you like it fitted or loose? I prefer wearing my watch fitted so that the dial is not moving around much, but not sure about bracelet.
Also, since it’s malachite I am thinking more tightly fitted might be better to keep it away from any additional shock from hitting it somewhere. Can you please share your thoughts- pros and cons to help me decide on the fit?

Thank you!

Open for pre-order this morning in the U.S. I was helpless to resist! PM size in the color Smoke. This looks like such a perfect daily bag to me. Anyone else hopelessly intrigued?

Just wondering if anyone has picked up a new op color yet or if they aren't really being delivered. Waiting for a lavendar one!

Was at Fashionphile pop up store at Irvine Spectrum yesterday and SA asked if I am looking for something in particular - I said yeah I am waiting for Constance to go Black GHDW in brand new condition to pop up. She said ‘oh I can probably get that sourced for you -
I will text our in-house Hermes VIPs to see if they can pull that for you from South Coast plaza’. I was like - wait what - she said we have our own team of 8 buyers who have established themselves as VVIPs using FP credit card - they can pretty much source anything you want from Hermes.

I mean guys ouch! 😣 and here I am, as many others, trying to make my way through Hermes system with purchase history not realizing I am competing with the very people who then I turn around and buy from at unbelievable premium when I realize that Hermes won’t pass me the offer despite high 5 figure spending.

Wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts on this? Are we getting completely swindled here by both Hermes and FP?

Hello. I was so excited when I got a call from the Coach store saying that they had a large Kisslock frame in stock. I went right away to the store and purchased it. In the store, I noticed that the clasp did not seem to stay closed and opened fairly easily when being moved. I was in a hurry at the tine so I assumed that it was due to the bag being overstuffed with paper. However, when I got it home and removed all the stuffing, I noticed that the bag opens VERY easily even with the most minor movement. Have any of you experienced this? When I had mentioned it to the SA before I left the store, she had said that Coach can repair anything for a year. I know that this bag is very limited and currently sold out but it seems a little counterintuitive to send a BRAND NEW bag in for a repair. What do you think? Thanks
