Okay here I’m making a bold prediction

Im saying the LV loop bag is gonna become one of the house’s icons. This bag has everything to join the Alma, Spedee and never full.
it’s only downside is probably the price since the other three are more entry luxury level of the house.

but that loop bag has potential to become an icon.
its stylish, has an everyday feel to it, looks comfortable to use and good space for your essentials.

i see videos on it and to screams like Louis Vuitton icon

Does anyone have both OG and High rise bumbag?

Hi Ladies, I recently got my high rise bumbag and am loving it. I have also been obsessing over the OG bumbag since I had missed it in stores. Considering how pricey OG bag is from reseller, does it make sense for me to invest in OG? I also like Diane in leather, so thinking if I should get another bumbag or just get Diane. Not sure if it will be useful to have two bumbags. I am really confused. YOur thoughts will be very appreciated.

Birkin stitching direction

Hi all,

I figured I’d ask the experts! I’ve been looking into purchasing a Birkin secondhand and trying to educate myself about what to look for since it won’t be returnable. I know that the stitching isn’t supposed to be exactly straight (threaded at a slight angle), but I’m seeing some really angled and some almost straight.

Is there a desirable angle to see? Or essentially it’s just all over the place because they’re handmade?

Here’s some photos I was comparing:

Slanted

Essentially, if you had to choose, which of these stitching styles is more desirable?

Thank you!!

Consignment/vintage/secondhand stores in Italy and France?

I'll be heading to Rome, Portofino, Saint Tropez, Nice, and Monte Carlo this fall, and in addition to shopping in boutiques, I'm considering trying to find some good consignment/vintage stores that carry Hermes and Chanel. Does anyone have any recommendations for reputable resellers in any of these cities?

Note: Please move to an existing thread if needed! I couldn't quite find one to post in that seemed to fit my question, but it's possible I missed something!

Trinity Centenary collection

My SA told me there will be an entire new collection launched to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Cartier's Trinity next year. This is all she can say right now and I am intrigued. Could anyone add any extra information please? Looking forward to seeing this as the classic ring was one of my first Cartier pieces.
Thanks!

Help Me Decide! Gucci Mini Jackie vs. Celine Shoulder Triomphe

So I want to add a smaller, black bag to my collection that is used mostly for going out to dinner / nights out / formal(ish) events (ish because my life really isn't that fancy). I'm super torn between these two styles. I love the look of the Celine bag so much, but I do love a smaller top handle vibe of the Jackie - note, I'm considering both the regular leather style and the patent with the chain (however, to my previous point, I am leaning regular leather as the chain one might be a bit too fancy for my life). The bag only needs to fit my phone (regular iPhone), a lip gloss and card case. My car keys are a card as I have a Tesla, so that goes in the card case. Would love opinions!!

Is the craziness for the classic flap over.?

on my last research for a bag I noticed something in the mid range bags, they all had less Chanelesque bags.
which made my itch to get another finally over for good ( already have 4).

is the whole world finally done with that Classic flap?
what I saw now mostly were half moon bags, or Hermes Constance/Celine triomphe dupes. Is that now the new most coveted bag ?

the luxury houses still had their famous quilted bags but seems like the craziness over Chanel flap is kind of over.

Hermes Advanced Think Tank (HATT)

HATT

To keep many, many other H threads on-topic, I thought we should have one thread just to discuss:
Globally
perceived Hermes strategy (aka 'The H Game') its evolution and geo-specific H-cultures, resultant reseller/flipper/grey market(s) issues (or 'issue') and 21C challenges to a heritage brand (SM/digital/metaverse/celebs/mass production technology/Pantone compliancy/lux-industry standardisation/etc)

All subjects are general (unlike other threads) - that's the point.


Newcomers are welcome to post but keep this thread on-topic.
OG or new, there is an unpopular opinion thread already, no divisive comments or gate-keeping permitted.

Help

I need your help. I’m really not that good with knowing if the alignment is good or not..
I was able to order 2 bumbags. One that took 6 weeks to order and the other 4 weeks :) they both arrived at the same time but I don’t know which one to keep :?
Would you choses the first or the second ?

Mini Marmont shoulder bag: missing the little leather "tassel"

Hi,
I need your help.
I just bought a Mini Marmont shoulder bag in Porcelain Rose from Fashionphile. The bag is in pristine condition but I didn't realized that it was missing the little leather string that is attached to the zipper pull. Fashiohphile can't find me an extra "tassel". They were very gracious and gave me a store credit for my next buy.
Where can I get that ? It's not a big deal but I find it's harder to open and close the zipper without that string.
Can I use something else to replace it? A key chain? Anything?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Smooth leather question. Hammock nugget

So Ive been really lucky to have got a puzzle in pebbled at a reduced price and more recently the nugget in smooth. It arrived today and I loved the style more than expected.
I am concerned about the leather and wanted to ask you if this is normal. If you look in the light there are kind of drip like marks. It feels smooth but looks as though the dye has deprived weirdly. What do you think? I think it might be a dealbreaker

Chances of other Speedy sizes coming out with the new zipper design?

Hey all! I know this is going to be mostly speculation, but wondering what everyone thinks the chances are of LV releasing new versions of the Speedy 25 and Speedy 30 with the extended zipper (like on the new Speedy 20). The 20 is a bit small on my frame (I'm 5'9) but I don't want to get the current Speedy 25 or 30 if the improved version drops sometime in the next couple of years.
