VLOGO reversible belt

hey, does anyone have more than one vlogo belt? do you have them in different widths/colours or just different colours but same widths?
i have a 3cm black/brown one but its too long/big for me to wear over a dress (it's just ok on jeans, i regret my decision on the sizing every time i look at it because i didnt know what i was doing when i bought it and the SA was hopeless lol) but i was thinking to get 4cm one in the black/smoky beige (which is poudre right??), but not sure if it's justifiable cause they're so similar. if you have both a brown and a poudre one, which do you find more versatile?

patent leather changing colour?

has anyone heard of or experienced the patent leather changing colour on their rockstud heels? i feel like my poudre ones the patent part has changed colour, it definitely is not identical or at least very very similar to the nappa leather and if anything it kind of doesn't have that pinky tone to it, it's more beige/nude/yellow tone (not sure how to describe it lol). i dont remember if it was always like that but i do have some pics from when i first got them and the two leathers weren't identical in colour and there was a somewhat obvious distinction between the two, like the nappa leather was obviously darker but the tone was the same pinky nude tone.

or does anyone else have the poudre pair that the two different leathers have never been identical (or almost) in colour?

La Fondation d’entreprise Hermès

Hello,
I am curious if anyone attended this event yesterday or has in the past? Love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

La Fondation d’entreprise Hermès holds this series every two years. Attaching photos of 2023 six month schedule, June 10 lecture event and photo of Foundation’s President.

Yesterday was the last conference for 2023. I was expecting it to be largely attended but IMHO wasn’t. Press event/release this coming week.

The morning lectures on "Elevation" which is part of the Skills Academy.
Held at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord - 37 bis, boulevard de la Chapelle
75010 Paris

It was very interesting and educational. I loved it! Definitely interested in attending again. I forgot what the topic will be for 2025 however I spoke to a gentleman involved in 2021 and it was based on glass.

Mods, if there is a better place to post this, please move. I didn’t find when I searched. Thank you!

Which one would get if you can only buy one?
- Kelly Padded 25 in black swift leather and gold hardward
- Kelly elan in black Mysore with silver hardward

Thinking to get padded at 1st as it was more unique and blue box. But then shoulder bag is more the hit at the moment, also didn’t have any similar style. However the size is 28cm wide.

Please help me choose! Prada, Loewe, Gucci

Hello friends.

I’m itching for a luxury purchase after having to cancel our Italy trip due to the floods. Would love to hear your thoughts if you own any of these, or if there’s a bag you love that I should try! Thank you!

My criteria:

1. Must be neutral and able to flex from casual to more elegant. I don’t like to change out my bags with every outfit, so having a bag that goes with an evening maxi dress or daytime jeans is a must.

2. I miss having a shoulder strap. Most of my bags are crossbody because I love to be hands-free, but I love the grab-and-go versatility of a top handle shoulder satchel.

3. No zipper closures! I don’t know why but I always scratch my hand getting in and out of them.

4. Under $3k.

5. Must be a classic or reissue or archive of some sort because my pet peeve are trendy investments.

Loewe Flamenco — It ticks almost all the boxes and I keep coming back to this bag. But, I have it already in the larger size and color. I love that it’s minimal but not in a trendy way. My heart wants to collect another size but my AmEx/closet says that’s silly.

Prada Cleo — I tried it on a few years ago and also keep coming back to it, telling myself it will be outdated next season and I’ll regret it. But here I am.

Loewe Paseo Satchel — I love it but something about it feels really modern or trendy. Maybe that’s just from the marketing.

Gucci 1955 — Adore. But feels very similar to my Marni Trunk which is very stiff and boxy.

LV Monogram amidst the "Quiety Luxury" trend

Hi! Not sure if this is something we talk about on here. I for one, love my monograms and will always wear them, especially my Speedy B30 as a travel carry on.

I wonder what your thoughts are on the "Quiet Luxury" trend that most certainly attacks the likes of LV monogram/Damier Ebene.

1) Did it affect the way you choose which bags to carry?
2) Have you "shelved" your monogram pieces or even considered selling them?

I noticed that some influencers selling bags they have "outgrown" mostly consists of monogram canvas and empriente leather pieces but deny that it's due to the trend.

resale market and low inventory

Is it just me or is there a lack of inventory for the mini bags on the resale market? Specifically Fashionphile and similar sites. It seems that the highly sought after bags get sold quickly (caviar leather and or/ exclusives colors) and not enough are offered. Also, does anyone know approximately how many mini's in iridescent for 21S were made in each color? For instance, for the pink iridescent mini, how many worldwide were made? Thank you in advance! :)

Are There Any Leather Companies That Can Convert My Polene Numero Un Nano to a Backpack?

I recently purchased this Polene Numero Un Nano Crossbody on Poshmark. For some reason, my mind thought it was a backpack which I am looking for. I feel in love with the seller's color bag and thought it was in excellent condition, so I bought it. And, now I'm stuck with a crossbody I didn't want....but won't hate if I am stuck with it.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any companies I can send it to, to convert it into a back pack strap. Is that ridiculous? Do people do that? It probably will cost more than the bag lol, but I'm willing to throw it out there to find out!

Isola Mule By the Pool In Europe

Hi,
I have a question that maybe someone here can help me out with.
I'm on the hunt for the Blue by the pool Isola Mule (1ABU3R). Looks like the US is only selling the red ones.
It appears that the blue version is exclusive to at least Europe. I'm traveling to Italy in July, but I'm afraid that most likely it will all be pretty much sold out by then. Is there any way that I could purchase it somehow in Europe now and collect it when I arrive? I know getting it here cannot be done. Would a store allow me to purchase it over the phone and then when I arrive I could collect it?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Gucci Diaper Bag

Just ordered this! has anyone got it and loved it hated it… I have 2 under 2 and my backpack was just not cutting it I couldn’t get enough in there and rummaging through it to find the stuff at the bottom was annoying as everything from the top would fall out when I shoved everything in. So tell me about your diaper bag if you brought this one because i’m having regret already I think I should’ve gone for the LV neverfull because at least I can use that again later as a travel bag or something…

ISO white leather hobo under $500

Looking for a lightweight leather hobo style handbag for under $500 if possible, Nothing too fancy , so I can just carry around without babying it even when it's 90 plus degrees, 95% humidity....
I looked at coach, Michael kors and doony & Bourke and all the leathers feel so hard and thin , however I don't really want a very slouchy bag either.
I looked at longchamp's website and all their bags say out of stock.
Any ideas?
I prefer a cool white rather than warm if possible.
I'm trying to replace an old coach hobo that is slowly turning sticky and getting a weird chemical smell.

This is what I'm looking to replace but it doesn't need to be this big. It's not leather lined either so it's very lightweight.

Cabas Antigua Strap repair/replacement

I noticed the straps on my Cabas Antigua are fraying , and after further inspection it seems that the strap are somewhat dry and if folded they snap and that’s where the fraying comes from. Hard to explain (hopefully it makes sense). First I saw a little line on the strap and I thought it got ripped/cut by something but when verifying properly it looks like the strap itself is dry and it easily breaks then it frays. I folded it in one place and it snapped.
I’ve had this bag since 2005 or 2006 can’t remember, and only wear it when vacationing in the Caribbean or in the summer, it actually looks pristine but today I was surprised the straps look like that.

I’ll bring it to the store and get their opinion before I attempt to get it fix anywhere. (I’m thinking a cobbler or a place where they make furniture covers/cushions can go over the straps with the sewing machine and reinforce the straps (my solution oriented brain thinks this would be good), but I know LV won’t accept the bag for any further repairs if I alter the bag, for example replacing a rivet which this bags has lots!
I have gotten zippers, rivets, and vachetta replaced at LV for other bags with no issue, but the straps on this bag look quiet complex to replace.

Anyone had any experience with these type of straps before. Do you have a Cabas Antigua? Are your straps ok?

Refunded confusion

So I ordered a chain strap of the RM site. They sent the wrong strap( pic 1).I called customer service. She sent me a return label and placed an order for the correct strap. The next day I took the wrong strap to ups for return. A week later the correct strap arrived( pic 2). This Wednesday I got an email saying I was issued a full refund. I’m confused. Anyone know how this works?
