Hi, would any of you who own both the blue agate and malachite bracelets post a photo of them worn together. I’d love see this combo. Thanks!

Hi everyone!!! So I just purchased this omega watch and I know much about watches. Is this a good watch I know it's 18k real gold with steel. What are your thoughts on it? Please honest opinions. I found 2 other ones I kinda liked and can't decide which I like better now 😂

New to purse forum. Forgive me if I’m posting in the wrong place…. I recently acquired a second hand Gucci signature hysteria bag made from ivory leather. I took it into the wild before using any protectant and it’s my 1st time spending so much on a bag, so really don’t know what I’m doing. It’s not in bad shape or anything, but I know I need to clean it, condition it and use some sort of protectant. Do you all recommend Apple products for cleaning and conditioning and gaurde for protection? Will these darken the leather? The handles definitely look a bit darker in general. Will cleaning get them back to the regular ivory or do I need to send the bag in to Rago Brothers for restoration & possibly dying darker? I’ve always been pretty rough with my purses and just used them, but I really like this one and want to learn how to care for a nicer purse properly. Thx for any guidance!!

Need help deciding!

Which would you choose and why! For reference, I already own -

Evelyne 29 rouge grenat
Mini evelyne vert moyen
B25 etoupe
Picotin 18 rose Mexico
Garden party 36 gold

Thank you!

Has anyone fixed this problem? The cracks are so strong that my bag looks fake. I've never seen leather crack like this.😭
Please anyone help me🙏🥲

I just received my Murakami bag today (from Neiman Marcus) and noticed that the box is different ( no magnetic flap, but there is a square tab that holds the flap close. Would like to know if anyone has insight on this change ?

I've had my JUC for almost a month. I just noticed the end looked a bit dirty so I tried polishing it with a cloth but it's not coming off. Anyone know what this is?

Does anyone own any jewelry from this designer? What are your thoughts on the quality? I know he mostly does lab diamonds but I was looking at the white gold chain bracelet which I thought was really pretty.

For me, Van Cleef is the only brand from which I actually love almost everything. But are there any pieces that you don't like at all and even consider to be style breakers? It's a bit controversial, but I personally don't like Rock Crystal at all. I don't like the classic Perlee bracelets either, except for the Signature and 5 rows diamonds bracelets, which I really adore. Which piece is THE holy grail in your opinion? For me: pont des Amoureux watch and the 20 motif pavé alternating guiollche in yellow gold!😍

Hi - I’m a huge YSL lover - it’s my favorite luxury brand and I could have multiples of everything. I want a dark beige large camera bag but they only sell it without the tassel. I am wondering if everyone thinks the tassel is dated? I could hunt an preloved one. Also what other changes and updates are happening with the brand? I heard envelope is being discontinued. I just scored one thankfully but I’m curious if they are changing up classics or having trouble as a company?

Not to make light of a a truly evil and monstrous situation, but I must say, I am feeling pretty sorry for LV. All the “Diddy LV Personal Bag”references….not the kind of attention anyone wants.

I noticed Fendi had an increase at the beginning of this month. Looks like it was around 5%.

Anyone have the Coach Hadley bag? It's gorgeous and reminds me of the YSL Le 5 a 7 hobo bag.

If you could pick 3, pm St Louis colors which colors would you pick ?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to see if anyone here has thoughts or experience with the Hermès Kelly Multipocket. I haven’t seen much discussion about it, and I’m curious!

I personally really like the look—it feels like a fresh, modern take on the classic Kelly. I’ve heard it’s technically part of the wallet or SLG line rather than the handbag line, and that it might’ve even been intended with men in mind. But I think it’s super versatile.

I was recently offered one in Gris Misty with PHW and took the plunge. It’s such a cool, unexpected piece. Now I’m wondering—do you think this style is here to stay? Or is it more of a novelty release?

Would love to hear your thoughts if you’ve seen it, have one, or are just intrigued by it too!

Thanks in advance!

I don't shop there much anymore because over and over again, I would order something on sale and they would cancel my order because they didn't actually have the item in stock. I got tired of being disappointed. I ordered a dress yesterday and it showed as the last one so I am expecting the email but hoping things have improved. Anyone have recent experience with this? Specifically sale items.

Anyone know where to find a display stand that adjusts down to 12 inches? I've been searching but have had no luck finding anything that comes close except for one (see link below) which is 12.5 inches in height (and adjusts to up to 22 in). Most of the stands I have seen online won't go any shorter than 13-15 inches, depending on the stand, but the space between my shelves is only a foot wide. Thanks for any suggestions!

Procedure(s):
Mini Facelift (V-Lift), Lateral Brow Lift, Neck/Chin Liposuction

Update 1: Pre-Op to Procedure Experience
• The front office was disorganized from the start. I’m an out-of-town patient, and they should’ve had systems in place to manage virtual consults and timely paperwork. I never received a hard copy of my surgical consent forms and had surgery without signing anything — a massive liability and red flag.
• They only gave me 2 business days to fill out prescriptions, which had to be picked up in person. I was traveling and nearly missed my meds. Thankfully, my friend rushed to a 24-hour CVS at 5am the day of my surgery. Otherwise, I would've had no medication.
• Nobody showed compassion or care. The front desk staff were cold and mechanical. It felt like a plastic surgery assembly line. The only thing they were quick about was taking my credit card.
• I emailed and left voicemails using the address listed on their website ([email protected]) — which they had been using to communicate with me — and received no reply. When I finally called, Jane told me I emailed “the wrong address.” It’s like they can’t get anything right.

Update 2: Day 1 to 2 Weeks Post-Op
• On Day 2, they forgot about my scheduled FaceTime appointment to remove my head wrap. I waited 15 minutes and had to call the office myself. Liz eventually FaceTimed me and seemed flustered.
• I was never given proper post-op instructions. I had to Google everything — from when to apply scar cream to how to manage swelling.
• When I went in for my 2-week post-op visit, I was told I'd get a compression garment, but they "forgot" and then said, “Oh, we’re going to change that.”
• The assistant Nicki rushed me out. She didn’t ask how I was doing or offer any reassurance. I was visibly anxious and upset, and no one cared.
• I brought up my concerns about how distorted my face looked — squinty eyes, harsh jawline, pulled expression — and Dr. Vinas completely dismissed me. He gaslit me, saying, “No, your eyes didn’t change.” I was shocked. It was obvious they did.

Update 3: Weeks 3 to 5
• My face continued to look deformed — my jawline was unnaturally straight and pulled, my eyes looked altered, and my ears protruded unnaturally. I still looked alien-like and deeply regretted the decision.
• The hairline incisions were done carelessly. They are NOT hidden at all — they’re placed in front of the hairline and are extremely obvious. Worse, Dr. Vinas made no effort to preserve existing hair. I was left with broken hair and bald spots along the incision line. I now have both terrible scars and hair loss. I cry almost every day looking in the mirror.
• About one month post-op, I left a voicemail and emailed the office with some questions. No one responded. Meanwhile, I saw them posting almost daily on Instagram — which felt like a slap in the face. I felt totally neglected.
Scarring & Shape Outcome
• The incision lines inside the tragus were clean, but the rest were a disaster. The “V” shape marketing gimmick is pure nonsense — it left me with awkward, obvious scarring at my hairline. There is no aesthetic benefit, and the result is extremely unnatural.
• I now have visible scars, bald patches, facial distortion, and no support.
Staff & Aftercare
• The staff clearly lacked basic medical training and are uneducated- they walk around in scrubs but I would be surprised if they even graduated high school. They didn’t know when I should start scar cream or how to advise me on normal healing timelines.
• After surgery, I was left alone in the waiting room. Nicki kept asking when my ride was arriving, clearly trying to rush me out. Not a single person asked how I felt or offered a word of support.
• Dr. Vinas never followed up. He didn’t give me proper post-op guidance and clearly didn’t care about my outcome.
General Office Experience
• They forgot multiple appointments. I was ghosted on FaceTime check-ins and never received timely callbacks, even after being told I would.
• I asked for my medical records and sent the request via the same email we’d used to correspond. Days later, when I called, they claimed I emailed the wrong address (again, the one listed on their website). I finally received my records but it was missing glaring details and it eas clear they had to scramble to create them only because I asked for it.
• If you’re considering surgery here, I urge you to search “Dr. Luis Vinas lawsuits” on Google. He has been involved in malpractice suits and even a bankruptcy case. Someone has even died after a procedure he performed. You can verify complaints by looking him up on the Florida Board of Medicine website. There is even a Facebook forum where others have commented about his poor reputation in the Palm Beach area.

Better Alternatives
So far, the best experiences I’ve had (in terms of staff, guidance, professionalism, and compassion) have been with Dr. Jean-Paul Azzi and Dr. Avron Lipschitz. The contrast in care is night and day and I'm not even a patient.

Final Thoughts
This has been the most traumatic experience of my life. I feel disfigured, ignored, and heartbroken. I’ve spoken to top surgeons in West Palm Beach, and every single one said I need revision surgery and expressed concern about how badly my procedure was done, especially the ridiculous V-shape incision scarring.

If anyone would like to speak to me directly, I’m happy to give a more detailed account of my experience so you know what you might be getting into. I have emails, photos, and paperwork to back up everything I’ve shared. I know Dr. Vinas’ team works hard to get negative reviews removed, but I’m sharing this to potentially save someone else from the pain I’m going through.
Please do your research. Do not let price or social media sway you. Your face, your self-esteem, and your mental health are worth more than what you’ll find at this practice.

Does anyone stack their Perlée signature ring with the Perlée pearls of gold ring?​

Care to share pics of how it looks like? Do the 2 rings sit flushed, next to each other?​

I stack my Perlée signature ring with the small JUC ring. I'm thinking of adding the Perlée pearls of gold ring to my collection so I can either wear it with the signature ring, or with the small JUC ring. I wouldn't wear it on its own.

I would love to see people defend their favorite bags! Tell me why your favorite bag is THE best bag in the world!

Obviously this is a magnified photo and I’m sure I notice it 10x more than anyone else casually glancing at it. I don’t intend on ever selling it. At what point do you decide to polish your pieces/send them in? Honest question. What is normal wear and tear and what needs to be addressed? I have little kids and I’m rough on everything. I also believe things should be worn and loved and enjoyed, not put under museum glass.

I don’t normally mind scratches but this is on the nail head. I probably hit it on something. Sigh. Am I overreacting?
