Anyone having Non-Buyer's Remorse?

Hi all,
I recently went to the vca in Miami with the intent to buy the 6 sweet Alhambra bracelet. And wanted to see it before I made the purchase but the SA said I couldn’t return it if I didn’t like it. She made it sound like it was a final sale, which is weird since I thought vca has a 14 day return policy. Anyways I regret not buying!!!
So just wanted to heard if you have a Non-Buyer's Remorse? What item was it?

Cartier Panthere vs Rolex Lady Datejust?

These are the two watches in question! The panthere in the small size and the ldj in 28mm. I’m 23 and petite so I’m ruling out large watches, since I don’t think they suit me. I went to both boutiques and tried on each watch (at the Rolex boutique, they didn’t have this particular one, I could only see a 28mm for size reference and there was a 31mm with diamonds so I could get an idea of the look). Honestly from what I saw, I loved them both. I was considering an all gold Rolex, but from what I gather they’re very heavy! When I tried one on it wasn’t the most comfy for daily wear, but the gold panthere is much lighter. The TT ldj is a good weight as well. They’re both so beautiful! I don’t really wear watches on special occasions (eg black tie events), so this would for the most part be a daily/frequent wear piece with my other jewelry. Thoughts? :)

Chanel vanity small

Hi everyone,

I am considering getting a Chanel vanity with chain in caviar (the original version without the handle). I first saw it last year when the leather interior version with mirror came out, tried it but was not interested. Recently I changed my mind and I have been hunting for about 10 months with no luck (though saw light pink and navy in europe but looking for black).

My local boutique SA said she hasn’t seen it for almost a year, and they don’t buy any seasonal vanity anymore since their popularities declined (is that true?).

Anyone knows if this style comes out randomly or it was just released only two season in 2019 and 2022? I am still in hope to find new one from store.

Also, I am getting preloved one in fabric interior version, but wondering if I should get one in leather version? I like the leather interior but don’t like the mirror.

K25 advice needed: Etoupe sellier vs. Bleu nuit retourné

Which K25 should I choose

  • Etoupe sellier

    Votes: 38 57.6%
  • Bleu nuit retourne

    Votes: 28 42.4%

Hi all,

Please help me choose between two Kelly 25:
1) Sellier Etoupe in epsom leather PHW
2) Retourne Bleu nuit in togo leather GHW

I already have a K28 Gris Tourterelle retourne in togo w/ GHW.

I’m planning to have four Kelly bags: two K25 and two K28, in these colours:
- Gris tourterelle (already have)
- Etoupe or gold
- Bleu nuit, Bleu de Prusse or Bleu saphir
- Black (only in box sellier)
- Rouge casaque

I like both styles in both sizes but slightly prefer K28 in retourne due to its practicality and K25 in sellier with its more formal silhouette.

I wear mostly neutrals: black, navy, white, tan, sometime reds and pinks. Other bags in my collection:
- Chanel black medium CF GHW
- Chanel beige clair small CF GHW
- Mini Roulis fauve barenia faubourg PHW
- Constance to go gold epsom GHW
- Mini Lady Dior in pale pink

I might want to have a Birkin at some point in the future but it’s optional as I’m not a huge fan of my bag not having a strap.

What do you think? Please help me choose!

Thank you and if the post is not appropriate here @mod please help me move it elsewhere!

How to remove EdgeKote paint from Epi Neverfull?

I just picked up an Epi PM Neverfull from a reseller. There looks to be a home-done EdgeKote job that went somewhat wonky, there's marks of black EdgeKote paint on it, a few marks outside, inside and on the handles (a good-size stain on the suede interior.) The repair through LV would be more than I paid for it and one local leather place was very expensive as well. I have a second leather place to take it to for a quote but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone has tried to remove paint from the epi leather and to what success? Many thanks for your input!

70 cm Trace Chain - same thickness Magic Alhambra 1 Motif long necklace?

Hello,

I searched on the forum for this answer, but couldn't figure it out.

Does anyone know if the trace chain, 70 cm, that is supposed to go with the Zodiaque pendants, is that the same thickness as the long chain for the 1 motif magic pendants? Also, does anyone know how the thickness of any of these chains compares to the chain gauge they use for the 10/20 motif necklaces?

Thank you.

Gold bag hardware worn off - how to fix?

I have a Gucci padlock bag with shiny gold hardware that has worn/faded/chipped away to reveal the silvery metal underneath. It's not tarnish, but the shiny gold coating actually wearing away to reveal the metal underneath, so cleaning it with a jewelry cloth didn't help (although it does look a bit better!). Does anyone have a recommendation for a product to restore shiny gold hardware, or is this bag a goner?

Pouch

I have the red and grey ST Louis GM. The smaller pouch in green but I want the bigger pouch now. What color would you do with? I’m leaning towards sky blue. I think it would be good with either bag. Here’s the colors. Love to hear what people think.
