Is it me or is this bag actually a Rosemary not a Blenheim?

Hi there,

I fall in love with this pair of Chanel White Sneakers and they are comfortable for me. My concern/ questions : is it is hard to take care of them (since they are white in colour and some part of the shoes are made from canvas) and would the white colour turn into yellowish in time?

Truly appreciate if any sneakers owner could share their experience.


TIA.

Does anyone have the new Lana bag yet? I'm eyeing the small one but not sure how I feel about the lock.

Hi everyone,

I was Chanel obsessed a few years bag and managed to collect a few classic items (including a classic flap, yay!). I recently got back into it and I am absolutely SHOCKED at the prices!! How are people still buying?

Anyways, that led me into trying to find some more affordable options, I came across a few articles (like https://chicpursuit.com/affordable-chanel-bags/ and https://luxefront.com/2023/09/04/top-15-most-affordable-chanel-bags-to-buy-in-2023/ ) but I'm looking for some personal experiences as well for bags that you loooove but they're less than 6k!

Thanks

Ignoring the price difference, I'm torn between getting the Mark Cross Grace Box (in smooth calf flamingo) or the Launer Traviata (likely in icing pink). They're both beautiful bags, and I could see myself carrying either, but I can't seem to make a decision. My immediate instinct is the Grace because it's such a unique classic, but the Traviata is a really timeless bag and the ability to select the colors of each element is really cool. I just want some outside opinions!

I am obsessed with the Les Berlingots necklace in Chalcedony!

Anyone know where to get it?

I would consider the onyx, but want to see it in store first.

Thank you!

Hi all!

I just got a my first WOC and I absolutely adore it. I took it out for its first spin and when I got home from my day I noticed that it had deep scratches on the turn lock. I have no idea where the scratches came from, as I am very careful with my bags Regardless, I’m wondering if anyone knows of ways to lessen the appearance, or if anyone has any idea how much a replacement turnlock would be at Chanel. I don’t have an SA anymore (I don’t shop at the store very often and the SA I had quit—I bought this bag while on a trip to Europe). I know the other option is to just deal with it, which will be the likely outcome, but I’d like to explore any other options as a way to get closure . In some lighting the scratches aren’t noticeable, but in others it’s so obvious and it’s makes me sad when I spent so much on it! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ❤️

Hey everyone,

I am looking at buying a pre-loved LV Empreinte Monogram Key Pouch (the old wallet like style with the snap closure). It's listed as in 'very good condition' and from a reputable seller but has notes that there is some cracking.

I'm fairly new to buying LV and this will be my second purchase. I'm just wondering how cracking on a leather key pouch impacts it's daily use and lifespan? I've attached some images to hopefully help this make more sense. Would you buy or stay clear from getting this? Any advice greatly appreciated!

I want to get the 5-motif Vintage Alhambra bracelet and went to the boutique to try it on today. While the size of the Alhambra clover works with my very small wrist, I’d have to get links removed to make it fit. I wear a size 15 in the Cartier Love bracelet (or size 14 in the Cartier JUC). VCA told me the smallest they can make the bracelet is 16 cm which I think is still a bit loose for my tiny wrist.

If you wear the same bracelet size as me in Cartier bracelets and have the Vintage Alhambra in size 16, can you pls post pics? I’d love to see how far down the 16 cm bracelet sits on your wrist?
Apparently they can shorten to 15 cm with special approval. Does anybody have a 15 cm Vintage Alhambra bracelets and can post pics please? That would be super helpful! Thanks so much!

A few questions-

1. Anyone have pictures of their rose or yellow gold? Trying to get a better idea of the difference before I order. Don’t have a local store and when I went to try on they only had rose gold.

2. Is the sizing chart on the site accurate? Debating sizing up because my wrist size is on the border of 17, close to 18. I tried on a 17 in the store and it was good, but don’t want this to be small in a few years. I’m in my late 20s. I was a 16 in the JUC bracelet.

Hi,

I hope everyone is having a lovely day/evening.

Hoping for some help from the more experienced of you on here. I came home today and opened up my MoP pendant (after waiting two months for someone to call me back about a blue agate one). I bit the bullet and bought the vintage Alhambra pendant. I have the sweet carnelian heart and love it.

I thought it was great at first, but I remember once reading on here about gaps in pieces. I held it up to the light and could indeed see gaps (see pic). I don’t know if this is all normal, or should I ring up and tell them?

I’m GIA certified so know about gemstone properties/qualities…I wanted to avoid any gemstone with an “ite” on the end of it as it practically melts…athough it depends on the type of pearl and how it’s been cut and polished.

Look forward to hearing your experiences and what to do! ♥️

Any thoughts on Sherman Field? Their pieces are so gorgeous but I can't get over the prices. Anyone seen them in person? It's 18k but still trying to understand why it's priced the way it is.

Talk to me about the straws and pouch set! It seems to be gone from the site, but I'm thinking of looking for one second-hand. We go to Disneyland and Disney resorts often, and they have those horrid paper straws that fall apart after 2 sips. I'm thinking this would be a fun bougie item to throw in my bag and have handy during trips. Does anyone actually use these? Are they a pain? Do they tarnish at all? (I'm not sure what they're actually made of?)

The only thing I'm thinking that might be annoying is I'd have to keep them in a baggie or something once they've been used, and probably not put them back into the pouch until they've been thoroughly washed and dried, and am I really going to want to deal with that at the end of a long day...

What do you think? Does anyone know any SAs at that boutique to verify if the woman in the video making the allegations worked there on September 21st?

Wish me luck on getting them to exchange/fix. I think I’m done with LV.

I’m struggeling on which Ysl bag I should go for;

Would you choose the
1. Cassandra top handle mini bag,
2. 5 à 7 small hand bag. Considiering either the black or the taupe color.
3. Loulou Toy in the taupe color

I’m in need of a black classic bag in my collection, but also need a more casual style for every day use.

Please help

Hi everyone,
Today I finally bought my very first piece of Cartier jewelry. After obsessing over the love bracelet for about 3 years, I bought my very own small love in yellow gold.
My experience in the boutique in Frankfurt (Germany) was great. I went in, after scheduling the appointment there.
I wanted to get the cuff actually (regular love is currently out of my budget), but after trying both on, I went with the small love.
My wrist is 15,5 cm and I tried on 17 cm cuff and 16 cm small love. The cuff looked great too ( I wasn't super comfortable to take pictures in the boutique, so I didn't take one unfortunately), but it was a little awkward fitting. The SA said I'd need 16,5 cm in cuff for a perfect fit. The 16 cm cuff was just too tight. I could already imagine the annoyance with the way the cuff would turn on the bottom....plus I want to wear the bracelet 24/7....
I tried on the small love and I loved it. It's perfect, 16 cm fits nice and snug, just the way I wanted it.
Here are some pictures...My SA was great as I said, he gave me the travel pouch, the cleaning kit and French made pralines for my son and I (my 11 year old son is my luxury shopping companion lol. He went with me to Tiffany this summer too to get my RTT heart tag necklace in yellow gold).
I saved for a long time for my love and I'm so proud to own it now!!!

I'm looking to buy my first YSL bag. I already have a black D&G crossbody, a small brown Tory Burch Perry Tote and a giant beige Prada tote which I never use. I was looking at the Tory Burch Kira Chevron shoulder bag, but the logo seems a bit too large and obvious on that one, and I've heard there are quality issues.

My wardrobe has no distinct style, and I tend to wear bolder accessories (Hermès scarves mostly), and I already have a few novelty bags (a giant fuchsia flamingo is on its way). Therefore, I want more classic styles. A black YSL crossbody would work and is timeless, but I already have a black D&G. I'd like a lighter colour, maybe a beige, but I'm really worried about colour transfer or staining it... I would ideally also want a bag that's quite light in weight, and a bag that will be my go-to that matches with most outfits, even the crazy ones. Would the envelope or the puffer bag would be better for me? Which colour do you recommend for a first-timer?

(I'd be digging into my savings, but I have enough savings to buy the bag several times over, so it would be a splurge but won't put me any close to debt). I'm in my mid-twenties if that helps!

I’ve dipped my toes into the novelty bag genre, with a Kate Spade elephant wicker and a Wicker Darling flamingo which is on its way! I’m contemplating getting this Vendula bag, a brand which I’ve read about here and there on this forum! What do you think about it - should I get it?

Despite my recent obsession, I still own ‘regulars’, eg Prada tote, Dior vintage saddle, various Tory Burches…. I suppose the one issue with novelty bags is that I’d usually have wear a very plain outfit for it to work, which I don’t have many of! Would it be more important to curate a classic wardrobe in that case….!!

What are your thoughts on novelty bags? Cute and fun, or tacky? For those owning premium brands, such as LV or Chanel or Hermes, do you wear novelty bags or do they now take a back seat? If you have one, care to show them off?

I have several long and midi dresses and I'm looking for stylish, comfortable boots to wear with these. I'm not much of a boot person... most of my shoes are MB Hangisi or SF loafers. I need something that I can easily walk 1 mile in NYC in but that would also work for a business casual dinner.

Hi ladies,
I need your help please.
I been looking for a classic rec mini in black from store and so far no success, now I came across a prelove one in excellent condition, however I already have a quilting version brand new, and as I always prefer chevron so now consider buying This 2nd hand chevron and sell my new quilt one.
I am now debating whether it is a good decision or not, and can’t decide.
Pls give me your opinion as would you buy chevron 2nd hand and sell new quilt, I only want one 1 mini.
Thanks.

There was not anything new that I could find in a search… after reading all the scary feedback regarding FP, Rebag, TRR, to sell bags and accessories… has anyone tried BagborroworSteal???
I don’t have anything high value, just want to get a LITTLE $$, and not have items get lost or stolen.
Any experiences??
