Finally got my hands on my first Pochette Metis!

Following up on my previous thread; finally decided to go ahead and get the pochette metis for my Italy trip! Thanks to all who helped me make my decision to purchase it!
I had a dinner date on saturday with the bf and decided to hit a nearby location afterwards to see if they had the reverse pm in stock. Got lucky and they did! I remember a time they were always out of stock in stores!

My SA was kind enough to throw in some perfume samples too! Is this a new thing with lv? I don’t recall if they used to throw in perfume samples with purchases

Been lusting after this bag for too long. So happy I finally got her! :love:

Do you ever feel like selling some of your LV collection-but don't?

Sometimes I look at my collection of LV's. They are all in pristine condition. I enjoy having them, but sometimes I think I may want to sell some of them. I love them all though. However, I do not think I will actually ever sell any of them. Do you ever feel like selling some of your LV's but never do and never will?

This or that flap ?

Hello ladies! I need some help deciding which bag to go with.

So long story short I used to an own a black med caviar classic flap from the boutique with ghw that tarnished in less than 6 months of purchase, it was very disappointing especially for the price I paid for. Almost heartbreaking if I say do. I ended up selling it instead of fixing it and am currently thinking of purchasing one from consignment store despite all the risks I heard off. I preferably want an older model (not necessarily vintage but say 2015-2016 series).

I saw 2 bags at the RealReal in perfect condition from 2015-2016 series. When I looked at the bags one looked bit darker than the other (right bag on the first pic). They are both in great condition but I am not able to decide which of the two bags to go for especially because there’s 2z From first glance which bag would you think I should go for ? I do appreciate how the hardware is still intact and didn’t tarnish unlike my bag from last year.
Between the two at first glance which one should I consider?

Thank you in advance ♥️

For those with sisters do you often share outfits?

Okay, I grew up with just a brother, so I never got to experience life with a sister. However, one thing I noticed growing up was how my mom and sister would often share clothing growing up. My aunt had lived close by and often my mom would borrow her clothes, and my aunt would borrow her clothes. Now back in Christmas 1985, my aunt had gotten a full-length cross fox fur coat and that drove my mother crazy who had spent years nagging my dad for a full-length fox fur coat. I will never forget the second my aunt came in wearing a full-length cross-fox fur coat the jealous look on my moms face. I remember my mom would beg my aunt like crazy to let her borrow her coat and she would let her borrow it sometimes. I also remember back in January of 1986 when my parents went out to a fancy restaurant with my aunt and uncle and another couple that was a friend of my mom and dad and my mom was the only woman there without a full-length fox fur coat, and I remember her coming home complaining to my dad about how when they went to the coat check how embrassing it was when her sister and her friend got to pick up their full length foxes she had to get back her plain old cloath coat. Luckily for my mom, my dad would get her a full-length golden island fox fur coat for Christmas in 1986 and I will never forget when my mom invited my aunt over, and she saw my mom wearing her full-length golden island fox fur coat. Later on, my mom and my aunt would often borrow each other's fox fur coats. Where my mom would get my aunt's full-length cross fox fur coat for a night while my aunt would get my mom's full-length golden island fox fur coat.

If you had a 6k store credit, what would you buy?

Hello! I posted this on Reddit as well, but wanted to get some feedback from all of you over here! I have a 6kish store credit to Chanel after having my lambskin bag start peeling. I'm trying to consider how I want to use it, and would love suggestions and/or to know what you'd do!

Some current considerations: I think I'm too scared to buy lambskin again, so any bag I get must be caviar. I'm not a fan of the 19, 22 or the Boy. I love the flap bags, and would maybe pay more for a classic flap in caviar if I found a color I love. I really adore the pastels that Chanel uses, but am also not against a dark color. Ultimately, I'd love to find a caviar flap bag (seasonal or classic) that I really adore. I'm not necessarily in a rush to use the credit, but I do want to be mindful of potential future price increases.

I'm honestly not in love with anything from the current collection, at least from what I've seen online - but I know that there might be a lot available in-store that isn't shown online. Has anyone seen anything in the boutiques lately that might match what I'm looking for? I live two hours to the closest store, so it's a bit of a haul to go in and browse around.

Alternatively, would you suggest opting for a WOC and shoes, or some other combo? I'd love to hear how you'd spend 6k if you were in my position, and would also love any suggestions that are specific to what I've described!

Raffia purse advice

Hi everyone,

I would like to buy a Raffia bag as I think it would be super cute for summer. I know Saint Laurent has a few different ones. I was thinking of either the Nikki in natural or the round one in natural but Im open to other suggestions. If anyone has a Raffia style can you post pics of yours? Tell me what you like and dont like about it. Thanks :)


Besace 16 discontinued?

hi! Could someone please help me - I want to know if to besace 16 has been discontinued? I have been wanting it for some years and if I look online it’s only sold at one French boutique store still. Can’t find it on the website? I have fallen in love ever since I have seen Jennifer Aniston, wearing it in a TV series

Would love to know what my options are regarding colour and leather etc. Thanks!

Hermès Giga Sneakers and Kelly 18 Belt

By birthmonth mini haul! Got my self the Giga sneakers in full leather (Multicolore Blanc Gomme) and Kelly Belt 18 in Noir via online.
So happy to get my hands on these items. In Germany/Europe, they are difficult to find. Had to keep refreshing the website because you blink, they're gone.
In case anyone's wondering, the sneakers are true to size. I'm size 37 by the way. And they're very comfortable. I didn't have to break them in. Wore them immediately yesterday and I didn't feel like I was wearing a new pair.
I love the belt as well and thinking of getting Roulis or Constance slim wallet to put on the belt for festivals and raves. Are they easy to find in the store?

Chloe Small Woody Tote in Leather

Hi everyone, is the small leather Woody tote’s shoulder strap detachable? I couldn’t tell from the pictures. If not, then I won’t consider it.

I tend to do thorough research before I decide to purchase a bag. It does cost quite a bit, so I want to be sure it’s something I’ll definitely use.

Also, do you think this bag will go out of style in a year or two? I know Chloe bags don’t hold their values, and I don’t buy bags to resell. However, frankly, I am not a fan of the logos on the straps.

That was why I thought about getting Loewe Puzzle before. But, that price tag is just too steep for me to justify it. When the Puzzle was first released, the price wasn’t this crazy. It’s now selling for $4750 plus taxes where I am.

Should I buy the Woody tote given that I have similar bags?
- Mulberry Lily in medium
- Chanel Boy in old medium
- Mulberry Bayswater
- Polene Numero Un

They are all crossbody bags.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Calling all Louis Vuitton Collectors

Thought I would toss this out to the lovely purseforum community. Yesterday, my sister gifted me this passport cover that had belonged to our late mother.

I would guess that she purchased in the 1980’s. I have attached some not so great photos. It has two sleeves within the cover. Each sleeve can hold two items. The front inside cover has a plastic sleeve and the back cover has slots for credit cards, etc. It measures 5.5 x 4 inches.

Just curious if anyone has any knowledge as to age, etc.

I also have a small calculator within a LV cover that I have somewhere along with a little agenda/note pad. Both were hers and also probably purchased in the 80’s. Will find those and post pictures if anyone interested.

Thank you all!
