I feel like I am cheating on my old friend Dooney, but I've been on a roll this month and purchased four pairs of shoes. Flats! Very odd for me. Giving up handbag money for shoes.

I read that some of you have noticed old D&B styles have re-emerged on the Dooney site. If the Tessuta was back it would be very tempting.

I have a milestone coming up at the end of this month so want to get something for myself to celebrate.

I normally know what I am getting a year ahead and thought I had already decided on the VCA bracelet, but recently added some items and finally decided what I want my bracelet stack to be so need help deciding on what would be next.

I already own something from VCA, nothing from Cartier, so far so would be nice but it’s also more expensive.

Items I am deciding between on my next piece:

1. Van Cleef gold and onyx 5 motif bracelet - my original milestone item

2. Cartier Juste un clou diamond in white gold

3. Diamond tennis bracelet, not decided on carat or look or anything just yet, but would look for something like this

The Stack I’ve decided on so far to be my signature look.
Gold for summer:

1. VCA black onyx 5 motif ring
2. Cartier clash bracelet - have not added this just yet as I am still undecided on this
3. Single gold solitaire diamond bracelet - already own

White gold/silver for winter:

1. Cartier JUC
2. White gold diamond tennis bracelet
3. Single white gold diamond bracelet - already own

I’ve been wanting a huge diamond ring for so long, so I’m finally getting it for my birthday! I saw these designs on a website and I love them all, but I’m having a hard time choosing which one to get my jeweller to make. My main priorities were to get a ring that doesn’t look like an engagement ring, but still a statement piece that I can wear all the time.

I love them all ♥️ please help me narrow them down

I love my boutique SA associate but sometimes she suckers me so good into purchases!

Do they know if you returned the item to a diff store? I know they don’t make commission but do have quotas.

Hi TPFers,
I have an interesting question for those who own Rose Gold Constance Slims.
I purchased a Constance Slim in black Lizard with Rose Gold HDW (I got it at the Paris FSH store in July). I finally opened yesterday and noticed that the inside zipper coin pouch that comes with it was yellow gold hardware and NOT Rose gold like the H as on the outside. I can’t imagine Hermes not matching the gold tones and wondering if mine was a somehow accidentally switched or something. Maybe someone was debating between yellow and rose gold and the inside got switched?

Here is my Bazar M with the softest, huggable leather. My new work tote. I can’t believe I slept on this size for so long.

What are your opinions on preloved jewelry? Any experiences or recommendations?

I like purchasing preloved items, especially for handbags, accessories or clothing. For some reason I have not yet brought any preloved jewellery item. Wanted to get your thoughts, experience, good retailers if any?

I think for unique pieces in particular I would, but any household brands, if I were ever to buy Cartier LoveVCA or Tiffany pieces, would you recommend it, I don’t know if I trust it just yet.

I just purchased a Fendi Poncho and I love it! Unfortunately, it is massive on me as I am only 5'1". I am debating just keeping it as a throw blanket for myself because it is so damn cozy! So my question is for other vertically challenged Fendi enthusiasts: how do you style/wear your ponchos when it is large for your frame? Please share your styling ideas!

Hello,

I'm considering buying a small Juste un Clou ring but I have some problems in choosing the colour. I mostly have white gold/silver jewellery. My wedding set is white gold, I have a classic Tank with steel watchcase and I wear a couple of silver bracelets. Unfortunately I do not really like the JUC ring in white gold without diamonds. It looks fine but a little bit simple to me. But I'm afraid that the yellow/rose gold model would not match everything else. Sometimes I wear yellow gold earrings but they are quite far from my hands while the ring will be close to the watch and the bracelets.

Would it be fine in your opinion to have only one ring in rose gold (or yellow)? Or maybe I should also buy something else like another bracelet in rose/yellow colour? Or will it still look bad?

...then went down a Google rabbit hole and discovered that they're known to sell fakes.

I read about BA on The Guardian a while a go so assumed that if the Guardian endorsed it, it would be fine. Now I'm concerned - I've never bought a fake from anywhere before, it'd be just my luck to have done so from what I thought was a legit site as opposed to from eBay!

What's worse is I can't find this style anywhere which is really getting my spideysenses tingling. Everything else they have looks legit, as in, a recognizable style. Have I picked the one dodgy item?!

Already trying to work out how to stop the PayPal payment going through...

If anyone has anything positive to say about BA, or the wallet I've ordered, PLEASE come and put my mind at rest!

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a preowned Cartier Panthere 2 tone 22mm. Does anyone have experience buying this watch preowned and any legit websites to look at? Are the box and paper essential? I saw some without the original box and paper and wasn't sure if I should buy it. There were many options on Ebay but I'm afraid about the authenticity of the watch. Any recommendation is appreciated!

Hello! I'm thinking of getting a Kelly in black with GHW, and wondered what would be the best leather to choose? I'd like the bag to hold its shape- love the patina box develops over time, does it scratch very easily? I am also thinking of the chevre, madame, or epsom.

I just saw these on their site ... thoughts? https://www.prada.com/us/en/p/prada-re-edition-1995-chaine-re-nylon-tote-bag/1BG468_2AOS_F0002_V_COO

Happy 1st day of spring or autumn my lovely tpf friends! And a big shout out to all our September babies as well - Wishing you a fantastic birthday month!!

I can’t believe Christmas is a few months away now, and Christmas animation will be released next month. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s sparkling LV goodies!!

Have a great September!!!

Whenever I take my bags out, I'm always somewhat worried about theft. Thieves seem to be keyed into the value of these bags, so I'm always on guard for purse snatchers, or someone who would just "lift" the bag. There's also potential theft if my residence were robbed. My husband and I have been using Apple Air tags in our checked luggage when we travel, and love how we can track the bags on our phones. I'm thinking of buying Apple Air tags to hide in my Hermès bags so if stolen, lost etc, I could potentially track them down. Does anyone have any experience with doing this or have other suggestions for tracking bags?

Hi lv lovers. I recently got new lv purses fall for you neverfull in black and pink and bicolour giant empreinte pochette Métis in Arizona beige. I love them both unfortunately I am only able to keep one of it but not both.

Please please help me decide which one to keep. I do already have neverfull (1854 ) and pochette Métis in turtledove

Here is the photo

I found it secondhand in like new condition for a good price here, but I am wondering whether the bib necklace falls out easily moving around? Anyone here who has experience with it and can let me know?

It’s September! Time flew by. Let’s post our purchases for this month here.

For whatever reason if you want to let go of your mid price range purses, do you sell them or give them away to family and friends?

If you sell them, where do you sell your stuff? How was your experience with the platforms you used?

I haven’t bought a purse in over a year. I am not that interested in shopping compared to a year ago. Maybe it has to do with the overall economic situation. What about you?

I want to declutter and sell some of the purses that I rarely use.

Hello! I ran across this bag on therealreal. It’s super cute anyone know anything about it? Please let me know if you like it or have it has worn. This is the link of the bag.


If I’m not allowed to post links please let me know.

This came in the mail today. What do you think. Medium lady in croc. Thanks.

I decided to get the Etincelle bangle in WG. Thanks to all who weighed in before. I also saw the new Berlingot line and the new matte finish Love.

I've been looking at the Victorine for a while but feel like the coin compartment would bug me being so narrow. I've just come across the Celeste Wallet which I've never seen before.. Does anyone have any feedback on this wallet? The coin compartment looks as if its more expandable so might have solved my worries regarding the Victorine!

Hello! I have had the Coach Cassie crossbody in black (original, not the 19) for a couple years and it’s my favorite handbag. It’s starting to show some wear and I recently decided to start looking for a replacement since this particular bag is discontinued. I could try to find one secondhand but I really want to find something new. This style is really difficult to find for some reason so I was hoping for your recommendations! Specifications include:
- Similar in size
- Briefcase style with top handle
- Pebble or some other kind of textured leather
- under $600 if possible. Potentially willing to go slightly over if it meets all other specifications

Thank you in advance for your help!!
