Anyone know a good designer purse cleaner in Toronto area?

The inside of 2 of my LV Neverfulls is pretty dirty despite having an organizer in there. I would like to take them to get professionally cleaned on the inside lining fabric. No idea who does this though or where would be good to take them. I hear good and bad things about LoveYourPurse. I also saw an older thread on here about them that wasnt good. So Im a bit hesitant to go there. Any suggestions? I am located near Toronto. About 45 mins West.

Thanks!

cartier love pave, small in white gold. How does it wear and tear?

I've seen a number of pictures of preowned pave love small in white gold, and they all look somewhat dull.. in comparison to how the brand new ones I've tried at the boutiques blindingly sparkles.
Can some of you shed some light on how it wears and tears?
I've been waiting to get one in white gold for a few years, but I am unable to make the plunge...
I'll be stacking it with my Kelly diamond bracelet or diamond tennis bracelet most likely.

Kelly vs Hermes because of recognition and ubiquity

I have been bitten hard by the Hermes bug. I just got a Kelly 32 and I love it but I would like to get a birkin because:
1) I like to wear a bag open and I wouldn’t do that to a Kelly and risk damage
2) I like the 2 straps.


The thing that holds me back on the birkin is that they are a bit over saturated on social media. Even non designer people can recognize a birkin in my area. The attention that garners makes me uncomfortable and I want a bag that is a bit more subtle. Everything I want is in the birkin except for the flash and almost stigma it represents in the area I live in.

Trying to decide if I bite the bullet and buy a black birkin on the resale market (follow my heart) or follow the gut and go with the black kelly I am also looking at on the preloved market.

Thoughts?

Tote bag question

I been wondering for a while. That while there are so many types of bags out there that caters for everyone needs whether it is shape, style, colour, or anything else the Tote bag is one of the most general day to day bag I seem to find being used because of it's natural ease of use and plenty of storage.

My question for you lovely ladies is what do you find important as a tote bag? Durability? Space? What things do you wish most brands did more of with their tote bags such as optional different straps?

Just curious to find out what people's opinions are out there :smile:

Help me choose my next piece

I have been planning to get a new fine jewelry piece and have saved 4k to splurge on. I am trying to decide between the VCA guilloche Alhambra pendant necklace, a thin Cartier love bracelet, a VCA frivole piece, a 1ct diamond necklace, or a pair of big diamond earrings. I already have a couple of diamond pieces in my collection so I was thinking about getting a designer piece but I don’t know if it’s worth it. My style definitely is feminine and I love diamonds so I’m not sure what my next move should be. I also really love the Tiffany Victoria line but for the size I would want it’s out of my price range for now. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Please help me choose...

My birthday is rapidly approaching and it's a big one. I wanted to treat myself to a few goodies but in true Libra fashion I can't decide which bag.
I am deciding between the Pochette Metis and the Twinny. Honestly, I am in love with the Pochette Metis East West, but I can't bring myself to pay more for less bag. I don't think it would be able to hold all of my essentials, and I don't want to have to play Tetris to get the few things it will accommodate to fit. So, it is between the Pochette Metis and the Twinny. I really like the Twinny, but the price is CRAZY for canvas and I already have the Boulogne which is a similar style. As for the Pochette Metis, I don't have any cons. It just doesn't wow me. I have included a link to the Twinny in case you are unfamiliar. I would love some advice and suggestions.

Going to Use Florentine Bag with Jacket

Just received my Poshmark Barbour returned jacket and I am very pleased that it was returned with tags attached, not worn/dirty and the zipper is fine. One tooth popped out of place, which popped right back in with a gentle push. Some people know all the angles.
It is in the laundry and I am wearing it with a D&B natural florentine or with my navy.
My sincere and huge thanks to all of you for the kind words. I knew I did not make a mistake. I am happy. I will get more use out of a brand new jacket v the little $27.20 I got for it.

Pre-loved bags in Canada - finds, information, tips

Hi bag lovers!

I've gone down a rabbit hole of sorts trying to find pre-loved designer bags (like LV, Prada, Dior, Gucci, Saint Laurent etc.) in Canada.
- Buying from websites like TheRealReal, Vestaire Collective, Fashionphile seem to add a LOT of extra expenses in the form on taxes, shipping etc., to the point where the total cost doesn't make sense anymore, esp for pre-loved peices.
- Poshmark appears quite sketchy & I'm finding it difficult to distinguish the good from the bag
- I've joined some facebook groups where people sell their own pre-loved items, but most of them want to be paid in full cash upfront (no credit card), which isn't always possible


Would love to hear from my Canadian lovelies about where they buy pre-loved bags & how that experience was.

Jodie Turner-Smith is pulling the plug on her marriage to Joshua Jackson ... TMZ has learned she just filed for divorce.

The British actress/model cites the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. According to the docs, filed by disso queen Laura Wasser, Jodie is asking for joint custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Juno.

Jodie wants to take spousal support off the table for both her and Joshua.

There's no prenup in place.

The date of separation is September 13.

Jodie and Joshua met during his 2018 birthday bash and their relationship was immediately fast-tracked ... they got engaged just months later.

The 2 went to the Beverly Hills Courthouse to snag a wedding license, before most people knew they were even dating.

They went Instagram official 10 days later with a pic of them gazing into each other's eyes during a dinner date.

There were breakup rumors in September 2022 after they unfollowed each other on Instagram, but they attended the Oscars back in March and looked very much like a couple.

Mini Wallace

I am interested in the Mini Wallace bag but am having difficulty deciding on color. I love it in the black but most of my bags are black. The brown is pretty but I'm not sure it is the right color for this bag. I have not seen the bag in person so if anyone owns this bag and/or has tried it on in person I would love your thoughts.

Please help - do I keep this black Chanel mini handle?

Hi everyone! So I just bought this black and gold mini flap bag with handle and shiny lambskin. I’m obsessed with how pretty it is and I love the black and gold but I’m wondering if it’s too similar to my navy top handle? I love the size and I love having a handle with my bag to carry. What do you guys think? I also included a picture of all the bags in my collection so far and one of just the navy. I was considering getting a white bag, but I never feel comfortable carrying my light beige one, so I know with White, I will be even more hesitant. My Chanel bags are mostly used for nights out as I carry my LV bag for daytime.

Also, what do you guys think of the black shiny lambkin on this bag? Does anyone have any experience with this type of leather? Is it more prone to scratches?
