Caramel beige color

Hello all! Does anyone own any pieces in the new caramel beige color? I’m trying to see what it looks like in different lighting and real life. I’ve searched the internet and there isn’t much out there but from what I’ve seen, the caramel beige color looks much lighter than what is pictured on the dior website. I want to get a bag in that color but am afraid of it being too light or too yellow. Thanks!

Legacy Soft Trunk 2019 Vs. Soft Side Trunk 2023

I need help deciding .... the new L.V. Soft Side Trunk in Monogram or the 2019 Legacy Soft Trunk in Monogram. My pros and cons are the size of the Legacy fits more, the vachetta is patina'd already and there is not as much hardware to tarnish. The pro's of the new side trunk is it's edgy vibe which could go in and go out. Thoughts anyone? I have an option to pick up a pre-loved in excellent condition of each so the price is similar. If I go with the older style I would use my Loop Hobo chain strap to add some gold. My concern about the gold corners on the new version is that they did not add feet ... I do not know why not. It will constantly be setting on the corners. I tend to hang my one and only trunk to avoid corner wear. All thoughts are welcome. Unfortunately, I cannot get to try them out. The older style could be returned but not the newer one.

Please share your malachite Alhambra pendants!

Hi! If you have a vintage Alhambra pendant in malachite can you please share a pic of it?

My husband bought it as my push present and it’s my very first VCA piece. I plan to use mostly as an every day piece, but now after reading about it I’m wondering if I made a mistake choosing this stone… it seems really fragile. My main concern is that it will be damaged by sweat (I tend to get sweaty in my chest area when it’s hot sorry that sounds gross lol) and I almost wish I chose the WG guilloche or chalcedony instead but I’m way past the exchange date :sad: hopefully you guys can share some insight and convince me I didn’t make a mistake? I’d especially love to see some pictures of what it looks like after wear!

Thank you all

Hi guys! Trying to decide between the Teen Triomphe in Pebble or the Horsebit in black! I love the look of the Triomphe especially in pebble colour but the Gucci seems a bit more versatile. Would be great to hear some opinions , thank you!

Is this a defect?

I was so happy to see the 5 motifs in malachite available on VCA website and I ordered it on Friday and just received it today. But sadly I found a defect (I think) on one of the motif at gold (a gold ball) around of the motif (see pic) attached. I called the customer service and wanted to exchange and they said it is currently not available. But I can’t stand the defect there so I shipped it back to them,

But let me know if anyone of had the same problem that I’ve seen and do u think if it is defect or it is normal.

Thanks

Have you removed leather strap from Nolita 19?

Has anyone removed the leather strap from an outlet Nolita? If so, how did you do it?

I feel like the strap is not the best quality and it makes noise. I'd rather use one of my own straps/chains (and switch out options). I kinda want to remove it safely instead of just cutting it off so that it can be reused at some point.

**Picture to show the strap I am referring to**

My visualized regimen outcome of an independent skin care consultation session in Seoul/Korea; male/43; critique much welcome.

skin-care-2023.png

I did a consultation (through AirBnB) with a skin care expert as I have been horrible at treating my skin well throughout the years. Main concerns are saggy and dry skin.

I visualized the products and sequence of the products proposed; in the image please assume retinol at night goes last.

Would love feedback regarding:

— What is the one product/products you would eliminate first?
— What products/treatments may be missing?
— Would you switch sequence?
— Would you change application time (twice vs only at night)?
— After what products is it important to wait?

Thanks so much; any questions/clarifications I can provide please post.

Too redundant to own both toiletry 15 & mini pochette?

Hi all! Does anyone own both? Ive owned my mini pochette for ages and use it often. I recently bought a pre loved toiletry 15. Both are monogram. I try to keep a pretty minimal collection as too many things sitting unused overwhelm me. Will I regret returning the toiletry 15 since it’s discontinued? Or just too redundant to own both? I should add I also have a prada nylon pouch smaller than my mini pochette that I use all the time and a Celine solo pouch that I rarely use.

Patent Leather Care: Collonil Lack Polish

I just wanted to share one of my favourite products for handbag care. This Lack Polish from Collonil has been amazing to shine up patent leather, new and vintage alike.

There is a sponge applicator under the cap of the bottle and you just use that to apply the lotion to the patent leather. Let it sit for a moment, and then buff with a microfibre cloth to bring up the shine.

Mandatory disclaimer: this has worked very well for me, but all leathers are different and it’s recommended to test on a hidden part of the leather first to see how it reacts before proceeding with the whole thing.

Here’s a photo of part of my Gucci gang (with Dolce & Gabbana and Ferragamo tagging along) after being polished up, and a close up of the product bottle.

Podcast: Hermès Business Breakdown

I enjoyed listening to this very much.
I work with brands for a living and it was a good reminder of how best-in-class product and brand together are a tough combo to beat.

There are many things that set H apart from competitors but my favorite tidbit was where they talk about how Hermès outbids its competitors for the best leather.

Help Me Decide: Pochette Metis East West Vs. Monogram Diane

Keep Pochette East West or Diane?

  • Pochette East West

    Votes: 26 51.0%
  • Diane

    Votes: 25 49.0%

Help me decide! I just bought a pre-loved Pochette Metis East West without realizing how similar she is to the Diane I already own.
The Diane is way more practical for daily use, and the Ponchette is so small she literally fits inside the Diane, but the Ponchette is just so dang cute!
Should I sell my Diane, or return the Ponchette? (It bears mentioning I just bought the Diane in black Monogram Empreinte because I love her so much).

After care service

Hi everyone, my beloved mini orange puzzle bag has a stain on the front. I’ve taken it to the after care service and been told the turnaround is 4 months! I wanted to check has anyone had experience of how long it takes and the cost?

I bought mine 2 months ago from Selfridges so it should be covered by the warranty but was told that’s one of the things they decide and I may have to pay.
