Hello everyone! I really like classic and feminine clothing and realized most of my style icons are European royals. Some royal girls and women styles I love include:
Kate Britain
Letizia, Leonor, Sofia Spain
Elisabeth Belgium

I’ve attached some photos to describe what I mean. I don’t know too many brands that really exude this exact style. So far I found Reiss, Catherine Walker, LK Bennett, and Karen Millen that fit the bill perfectly. They all happen to be British though and I’d love to find more brands like this. Please leave suggestions. Thank you.

So for my upcoming wedding anniversary, I'm hoping to add another YG Cartier piece. I'm really torn between the small JUC ring, Love ring and Love necklace (the one with the interlocking rings). I already own a Love bangle, but am concerned that another Love piece may be to "matchy matchy". I also usually wear a watch with my bangle, so don't really want to add to the stack at this time. I'd also want something I can wear everyday.
Hoping to crowd-source some ideas on what to get next? Would also be open to other ideas for other YG pieces!

Hi all

A somewhat random post but I am curious if the Paris stores are doing soft boxes or the traditional hard boxes for the vintage Alhambra pieces? I have only heard about the change in packaging and I’m hoping to buy with the hard box.

Thank you!

Hello handbag friends! Recently, I have been working on "resetting" my bag collection - moving from a larger collection of mid-tier pieces (mostly purchased during a prior phase of life, when I was younger, on a tighter budget, no kids, rougher on things) to a smaller, curated collection of nicer staples. I have been thinking about what a small perfect collection would be, and I thought that the posters here could provide some inspiration. If you could only have a minimum number of bags (say, under 10), what would you have? I would love to see pictures as well!

Here's my list:
1. A nice, medium-sized everyday bag for work and daytime outings. For me, a Chloe Marcie satchel would fill this spot.
2. A decent-looking but tough tote for errands, kid activities, etc. My MZ Wallace Medium Sutton is perfect for this.
3. A fancy (but not too fancy!) shoulder/crossbody bag for going out to dinner or drinks. I'm still looking for the perfect bag to fill this! Preferably not black - maybe a nice blue? I don't love wearing black in the summer or with certain colors. I have learned from experience that I like a bag that isn't too mini - 8x10 size or slightly more is perfect.
4. A fun party clutch. I have a quilted blue Rebecca Minkoff that works well but would like to invest in something nicer someday. A good, saturated color is a must!

This doesn't include totes for shlepping children's things or travel bags, of course.

What would you pick?!

What I need: Something casual when running errands, outdoor events, or daughter's field hockey games that can be worn crossbody, not heavy and doesn't have to be huge but that will fit phone, keys, small wallet or a card holder.

Options I'm thinking:

I already have a pochette accessoires, so I could get a longer vachetta strap for that.

Double-zip Pochette, not sure if I want empreinte or the 2 diff mono print

Felicie Pochette, again, not sure if mono or empreinte would hold up better (been reading about curling/creasing)


Welcome to hear other options.

I have been looking far and wide for dust bags that are the proper material, size, and orientation (drawstring on the long side) for the Bals that came without.
I finally found these!


They even come in pink, but I got the white.
Here is one next to an original Bal sleeper.



And here is Miss Pewter, on the bag, then snug inside it.
I turned the duster inside out, now it even feels like the original, because the flannel is on one side only. That’s fine, because that is what will be touching the bags.

I've got a work travel trip coming up and I went through my handbags and decided (obviously) that none are suitable. As it's a business trip I would like to be able to carry my laptop and bulky over the ear headphones in their (even more bulky) carry case. I'm thinking a tote bag of some kind. I've just thrown out my old Longchamp le Pliage totes as the corners had gone, and I did toy with the idea of buying another one, but I'm kind of bored with them and the dreadful corner wear. I don't want to spend too much and am thinking possibly something from Coach or Kate Spade that kind of bracket. Any ideas?

Hello TPFers. I have searched high and low for a quality leather wallet for cards/cash/coins with rfid blocking. I would also like other SLGs to match (make-up pouch, passport/travel wallet etc).

Can anyone recommend a company that makes custom SLGs (in metallic colours)? Thank you!

I ordered a five motif white guilloche bracelet from the eBoutique and it arrived scratched and without the green tag. I was out of the country and didn’t get to open it right away. I was also traveling within less than a week again and wasn’t able to exchange it in time. I informed customer service of the issue and they offered to begin the return process but since I wouldn’t be in the country to do the exchange within 30 days, I asked if the scratches could be repaired.

After several weeks of waiting on a resolution I got an email stating they can’t exchange the item because it cannot be resold in its current state and was offered to send it to be repaired at my own expense.

The email also informed me that they have photos of the item prior to it being sent out to me with no scratches. Which sounds odd since the only reason I have an issue is because I was sent a used bracelet.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it common to receive used items from the eBoutique and then be told that you are the one that scratched the item? Has anyone had a resolution in a similar situation?

My previous orders from the eBoutique arrived brand new.

I just can’t believe this happened and that I’m now stuck holding a used piece.

Hi Everyone!

I am contemplating a Perlee D’Or and Signature in YG to stack with my WG D’Or and Signature. Does anyone have any photos with them stacked. I’m pretty sure @chiaoapple you have them, but would you mind posting photos of them all together and to anyone else stacking 3 or all 4 of them kindly? Thanks in advance!

LV lover here! How do you all decide when it’s time to let go of a bag? I have a smaller but lovely collection of LV canvas handbags and slgs that I love to look at but just don’t wear regularly. I have an Alma bb in DE that I admire on my shelf but only wear two to three times a year because it doesn’t fit my everyday lifestyle. I’ve been contemplating selling it to purchase a Speedy b 25 instead. What do you all think? How often should someone be carrying a bag for it to be worth keeping? TIA!

its here and I gotta say - this is the perfect Chanel bag , like I think im good after this unless something just as masculine comes out

Want to compile a list for colors I would be interested in getting a bag in. I'd like something very dark (almost black) but not sure which colors are still available or not. Does anyone know if there's a list with the colors still being offered in 2023? Thanks

This is sold out on the website in Canada for some time now. I have tried searching sites like FWRD, Holt Renfrew etc but non of them carry this one. Sold out everywhere. Is this the same in the US? I really want this purse. Does anyone know if they will be bringing more back in stock?

Thanks!

Hi all, I know this bag has not gotten much love but would love to know if anyone has purchased it? I saw it in store this week and was a little smitten with it, but haven’t heard any reviews about it or anything! I’d love to hear your opinions on it as a long term bag, what you think, etc!

I’m planning to spend some money for my birthday towards my ever growing bag collection, with all the price increases I’m not expecting it to go far, but I thought it would be fun to ask how would everyone else spend that money! I might be inspired!

Hi everyone. I've seen a few posts about Costco diamond jewelry. Sadly not all warehouses carry every item, so it's hard to tell how the piece actually looks. Apparently they have a GIA trained gemologist on staff to verify the pieces meet the quality they are advertising. I'm sharing my three stone earrings. I'd love to see what everyone has added to your collection if you'd care to share pictures. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I've had terrible quality issues with the Cuyana System Tote. After just a few months of use, the glue is cracking and peeling, and there is wear on the corners. I'm on my second one too, since they took back the first one I ordered. I LOVE the aesthetic, so I'd like to find something similar. Basically a tote that doesn't exactly look like your run of the mill work tote. I'd like it to be leather, and ideally olive green. In a bit of a different turn, I'm actually kind of really liking woven leather tote bags too, if you can recommend something like that. My price point is about $300 or less.

Hello; as said:

Birkin 25 in Togo leather, White Colour. Grey metalics.

How you think?

Cheers!

I just purchased this crochet book tote. I have been wanting this bag since I first saw pics, but now that I have it, I don’t know if it’s worth the $$. It’s beautiful and so different…but I feel like I’m insane spending so much on a raffia tote.

I’ve noticed mine (mini and small) have received wear and tear on the corners. Has anyone else experienced this? It didn’t seem to be common or mentioned in YouTube wear and tear videos. I’m wondering if it’s something I am wearing? Common? It’s on the top edges of the bags.

Hello everyone! I’m looking for a brand that carries super classic, round toe, and simple ballet flats. I’ve attached a photo to show you what I mean. I’m looking for a shoe that also has no or very little logos. So far, I can’t find a high-end brand that carries them such as Chanel and Prada because of the logos. I’m open to any vintage shoes from any brands too. So far, I’ve found Pretty Ballerinas, Repetto, Bloch, and French Sole that fit the requirements. I’d love for there to be more brands to choose from and especially more high-end. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I’m looking for a designer brand that sells a pair of non-ripped, comfortable, has no logos or very discrete ones, high-waisted, and skinny/slim fit jeans. This could be a brand that sells many types of clothes or specializes in jeans. I like very timeless pieces from brands that aren’t very trendy. I know the type of jeans I’m looking for just went out of style, but for me it’s a classic. I feel like there are so many new jean brands that take the spotlight for a bit and then another one replaces it. I’m looking for a brand that will last decades and become a staple for jeans. A brand that makes very high-quality jeans that can last forever. A brand that doesn’t become super trendy and then becomes irrelevant. A brand that is more luxurious. I need lots of help since I’m looking at brands and there’s so many like Frame, Brunello Cucinelli, Saint Laurent, Khaite, Citizens of Humanity, Mother, J Brand, 7 For All Mankind…etc. I’m just incredibly lost and I’m sure that the fashion experts here can help me out. Thank you!

Hi ladies, this has been on my mind and have an opportunity to buy for the store price. Does anyone own and can speak to the wear and tear? Thank you!

I love the Sadie collection and logo -- do you think they will expand the Sadie version of the logo [the vertical rectangle] to jewelry, more sunglasses, or more bags in the future? Just wanted to share the love.
