Ladies & Gents,

I need your help!

I’m in the market to purchase a Neverfull GM, I just can’t decide between monogram or damier Azur.

I do want to use it every day when going to work or with my kids so it shouldn’t be delicate.

I have a Noe BB in Monogram, so I’m thinking I should try something else and I also love the damier Azur but I’m worried I’d get sick of it or it would wear and tear to much. Also I have a a Celine Cabas Tote in Cloud, which is my light summer tote.

I have dark ginger hair and fair skin, I somehow always thought damier Azur would match blondes better, what’s your opinion?

The monogram on the other hand I know would wear well but I’d be my second monogram bag and it’s seen so often

I also have a mcm Liz tote which is my rainy weather option, so the bag wouldn’t need to be put in every weather.

Thank you for helping me make a decision

Tilton arrived no plastic covering any of the hardware or zipper pull or strap. No paper covering the bag. Had a long black hair that you could see thru the plastic… I open the plastic bag and I see a few scratches/ gouges on the front and at the top of the bag. the chestnut color is beautiful. Leather looks ok on front and back. Sides are pebbled. Looks like someone tried to remove one side of the strap, the other side looks untouched. I think I’m going to return this return and pre order another bag while the labor day sale is still in effect. My MacBook Air 15 inch fits perfectly. I am happy about that. I was able to buff out all the scratches with the dust bag.

Hi All, I saw the Noe pouch on a preloved website for around £500 and think it's super cute esp when it's cinched close. Do those of you who own it like it? If I get it I would convert it into a crossbody as I don't have use for a large pouch otherwise. However, the main thing would be that it doesn't have a proper closure and I worry my stuff may fall out. I'm also looking at the Loewe mini flamenco but it's quite a bit more expensive and I saw on Youtube that the closure isn't too secure either. Is it worth getting? Any thoughts would be appreciated

Has anyone tried the Loewe elephant pocket bags in stores? Will it fit an iPhone 14 pro max? Been wanting one for so long. I was set on the pink but lately I’ve been using neutral color bags more so I feel like the tan will be a better choice.

Also, there’s a bunny version and only one store has it. It says peach but I am hoping it’s light pink? Has anyone seen this in person?

Thank you!

Hi, I'm considering buying a YG smile pendant from Tiffany but I can't make up my mind between the Large or Extra Large sizes... I like simple pieces for everyday wear. I feel the EL has a slightly edgier look, while the Large is more delicate and dainty... Would love some feedback (and pics) if possible please.

ThredUp has always been an enigma to me. Years ago it was like an online Plato's Closet featuring predominantly secondhand fast fashion and very dated Coach and Calvin Klein styles with few exceptions.

Yet, their recent 45% Labor Day sale really surprised me! Especially their Premium and Designer Brands sections and Bundle Shipping, when you pay for an order but keep it open just in case you have more purchases to add later.

I'd love to hear about people's recent experiences with ThredUp—good or not so good—and any cool finds you've found along the way!

Below are a few of my recent buys I'm still waiting on to be delivered.

MISA Los Angeles sleeveless ruffle top, ThredUp Price USD 19.50 (Reg Retail USD 260):



Bernardo suede stacked peep-toe heels, ThredUp Price USD 24.73 (Reg Retail USD 238):



BA&SH wool cardigan with balloon sleeves, ThredUp Price USD 44.55 (Reg Retail USD 295)



Ann Taylor LOFT sleeveless dress, ThredUp Price USD 13.20 (Reg Retail USD 79.95):

Hello,

I’m looking to get a quality leather strap watch. I’m between the small Cartier Tank Louis (on a black strap) or a vintage Patek Philippe Gondolo 4824. Both are about the same dimensions. I have the stainless steel Tank Francaise already, so not sure if adding another tank is overdoing it. Any watch lovers? Would love some advice. Thank you

Hello!

So I have a tattoo on my arm that I'm trying to laser off... I've had a couple of sessions (different removal company) but I have hyperpigmentation (Asian skin) and some discoloration. The new removal technician said she wouldn't touch it unless I used a melanin blocker for two weeks prior to my session with her. She only told me about a discontinued product that is no longer sold to the public and gave me no other options. Could someone recommend a cream or ointment that contains melanin blockers? I keep searching online and I'm not sure what the active ingredient is that I should be looking for.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi ladies - this is super random, but our garage was broken into last night, and my wallet was stolen from my car. (I know, no lectures, please.)

I normally wouldn't post, but this was a special piece to me. If any of you happen to see one listed for sale anywhere, as it is a relatively rare piece and I figure it could be mine, could you please let me know?

Hi All,

Trying to locate if there are some alternative styles available somewhere for this upcoming fall that are more fashion dress boots with a lower flat heel that are similar to these. Looking to replace these Pour La Victoire Malorie boots that go up to at/knee with a flat style heel 0.5 inch and more on the taller end (approximately 20.5 inches tall overall) that have paired well with skirts, dresses, and over skinny jeans. Anything similar that can be recommended to check?

Pour La Victoire Malorie Boots

Thank you

I’m hoping someone can help by providing pics of a B30 in a LV neverfull GM and a Goyard St Louis GM. I’m wondering how far the handles stick out, if at all, also how much extra room is on the sides. Thanks.

First, thanks to all the lovely posters who contributed to my other thread - I didn't get a chance to respond before it was locked (just to clarify, I wasn't looking for opinions on authenticity of the wallet, just experiences of BA - honestly didn't mean to break any rules!).

After reading reviews of BA, I was convinced that I'd either not receive the wallet or, if I did, it'd be used/fake. There are lots of stories online about bags sent out obviously used and a few alarming tales of fake Prada bags, so I was perturbed to say the least.

Well, I ordered on Friday and the wallet arrived yesterday, and it's absolutely perfect! Brand new, lovely Mulberry box, and of course genuine. I couldn't be happier!

I haven't bought any 'new' Mulberry for over a decade, being a devout Darwin/NVT old-school fan, but I love love love this! I think it adds a contemporary twist to my lovely old bags (and being an old bag myself these days I do appreciate anything that keeps things feeling modern!).

Even DH loves it and he's usually meh, it's a bag/purse, whatever, kind of chap!

A couple of pics ☺️

Excavation Underway For Hermès Store At 111-115 North 6th Street In Williamsburg, Brooklyn​

Excavation is progressing at 111-115 North 6th Street, the site of two-story commercial outpost for French luxury retail brand Hermès in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Building Studio Architects and developed by investment firm L3 Capital under the L3 Berry and N 6 LLC, the structure will yield 8,500 square feet. Cavan Builders Corp. is the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of North 6th Street and Berry Street.

Recent photographs show an excavator and piling machine working around the southern end of the site, with a portion of the ground already dug up. Temporary wooden walls have been assembled to support the exposed earth until the formation of the reinforced concrete foundation walls.

The following screenshot previews the final look of the development. The façade is composed largely of red brick framing oversized floor-to-ceiling windows, with a transition to gray cementitious paneling on the western end of the North 6th Street elevation. A pyramidal skylight is visible above the roof near the southeast corner of the building.

The building will feature 147 feet of wraparound street frontage and yield 4,850 square feet on the first level with 16-foot-high ceilings, 3,600 square feet on the second level with 16-foot-high ceilings, and 3,120 square feet in the cellar.

L3 Capital also opened a 5,400-square-foot pop-up Hermès location designed by Kenneth Park Architects earlier this year at 91 North 6th Street, a space it plans to occupy for about two years. The nearest subway from the property is the L train at the Bedford Avenue station. The North Williamsburg ferry terminal is also nearby at the northwestern end of North 6th Street along the East River.

111-115 North 6th Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for the winter of 2024 as noted on site, though previous online reports have placed the opening day sometime in 2026.

Any opinions on purchasing online vs in-store or things to consider? Finally decided to splurge on their pink opal T necklace - so excited!

I bought a Chanel Jumbo from a popular reseller on Instagram 3 years ago. Not sure if I should or could name them here. Found myself not using the bag as often as its too big for my frame. Decided to sell the bag on eBay. Tracking was uploaded immediately the same day it was shipped (August 18).

A few days later I got an email stating my account was temporarily suspended because eBay said they required a tracking number. I thought that was odd because I had already uploaded the tracking information. I was annoyed but understood that because the bag was considered a high value item, eBay is doing its due diligence. I replied with the tracking information and also sent screenshots showing that FedEx had delivered the bag (on August 30th).

Then I get an email from eBay asking me for the original invoice for the purchase of the bag. I replied explaining that the bag was purchased from a reseller and not at a Chanel boutique. I sent them the screenshots of my conversation with the original seller, even showing the payments I made through Wise for the bag in 2020 (I originally paid $4600 USD for the bag).

This morning I got a long-winded email basically saying my account is now suspended indefinitely. That they will no longer reply to my emails, and that they are suspecting fraud (because I bought the bag from a reseller and not boutique, they automatically think it's not authentic) and cannot further elaborate any information to me. I am distraught, cause now I am without my bag and withheld from ever receiving my payment.

I get eBay’s stance in fraud and I would have been more than happy to send my bag in for further authentication if needed. I wish they would have asked me for all this information before I shipped my bag. So sellers, take my story as a precaution. eBay will rob you of your bag and money if the bag you are selling does not have an invoice from the branded boutique. And they won't ask you for this information until after the bag has left your hands.

I feel like I have been wronged and pushed into a corner by eBay. For context, I have been a buyer and seller on eBay for 20 years with good reviews.

Hello Everyone. I did my best to dig through the Forum for old posts/answers on this topic but didn't find anything.

I need to buy an Hermes dust bag for a Birkin 35 on the secondary market. I know the dimensions of the Birkin 35, but comparing that to dimensions of a dust bag doesn't always equate for a perfect fit once the bag is inside the dust bag. I want to make sure I buy the right size.

Would any members be willing to measure their Hermes dust bag for a Birkin 35 to ensure a proper fit? I really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Does bag silhouette determine how you pack your bag or do you just smush as much as possible in there?

I have been really into the silhouette of a 'flat' tote bag recently. Think a single rectangular piece of leather folded in half and sewn up on the vertical seams. Basically like a leather version of those cotton totes that are everywhere. But when I imagine packing them (because I don't want to buy without certainty), I struggle with the idea that the leather wouldn't allow for much packing. A book and maybe your phone, wallet, keys, and lip balm?

Do you have a flat tote bag? Do you like it? Is it more form than function?

I went into the store and asked to see the silver Return to Heart necklace. The SA showed it to me and when I asked to try it on, he raised an eyebrow and said "Is this for you?" I said yes. He said, this is really only for teenagers. I said, oh, is there an "adult" version? He said, "Women wear gold and diamonds"

Good to know, real women wear gold and diamonds (?!)

Needless to say I did not buy the necklace and certainly was not going to buy it from him. But seriously, except for the fact this piece looks a bit tarnish-y even in the store, is this piece really not appropriate for a grown woman? The YouTube Kate Swan wears it and she looks like a grown up to me.

Hello!

I am looking to present to my girlfriend a VCA Bracelet and i want an iconic one for her; but trying to study the different options, i got lost in the site.

I am sure i want a 5 or 6 Motif one. I am sure my budget is limited and can’t go to the very bling ones, so, would go to the ones max 6-7k…

And i am not sure about anything else; which metal, which kind of Motifs…

If helps; my gf is a 20-30s blonde skinny girl, and her only jewelry at the moment are a couple of Cartier bracelets (love & juc), some chaumet bee love, and some no brand with diamonds (earings, rings…) and some no brand with green emerald (ring, necklace)

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any tips on how to buff out a scratch on lambskin? I just bought this bag last month and I accidentally scratched it.

Hello! I am wondering if anyone has any experience with The Row customer service team. I have a row purse that sadly its clasp has fallen off - I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to stay on now :’( and it’s very disappointing. Do you know if they will warranty or repair it? I don’t live in the states and we don’t have any stand alone stores in our country.

I am in love with Erin Morganstern's The Starless Sea and want to replicate the jewelry in it. For the key, I will get a nice Tiffany piece. But all I see online for sword or bee pendants are cheap paste jewelry. Real gold items preferred. Designer is even better. Thanks!

Do you think bracelet stacks are just a trend? I love the look of a bracelet stack but wondering if it’s a trend that won’t last long. I feel like I haven’t seen stacks until the last few years but I could be wrongZ I want to buy classic forever pieces but I would venture out from bracelets if stacks aren’t a staple.
