Pigalle nude patent or black patent?

Hello CL lovers, I’m planning to get a pair of Pigalle 85mm but couldn’t decide between black or nude patent. I’d love to hear your view.

A bit of background - I live in London so the Spring/Summer is short. I work in a professional environment so tend to wear heels for work. I already have a pair of black Corneille in nappa leather (which I don’t wear much because of 100mm heel) and another pair of black Sergio Rossi in nappa leather. I also have a pair of nude patent Prada heels (slightly different from Pigalle’s nude) and a pair of pinkish patent Roger Vivier.

Appreciate your help. Thank you!! x

Alhambra watch vs Perlee Sweet Clover

I’m debating between the RG/pink MoP Alhambra watch and RG Sweet Perlee clover bracelet. I’ve been looking for a bracelet / cuff and did not intend to try this watch, but my SA showed it to me as “primarily a bracelet” (I would agree lol).

I was just on the cusp of pulling the trigger on the sweet Perlee when I tried the watch. And when I tried both side by side it was crazy How light and insubstantial the sweet clover bracelet felt compared to the watch !

Now I haven’t seen much information on the watch…and with the MoP “links” question how useable/durable it will be, even though I do *not* plan to wear it every day and am typically careful with jewelry. I did like the feminine yet subdued look of the watch, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.

Thoughts? Advice? Anyone own either piece? Some pictures below. Would greatly appreciate your input :)

For fun, comparing to the full clover.

Speedy 35 discontinued!

I believe the classic Speedy 35 is now discontinued in the 3 canvas prints. The Speedy B 35’s remain. Stocks already mostly sold out across UK, EU and AUS online.

LV keep your hands off the classic/heritage pieces! you’ve already got enough crazy weird stuff that should be more part of collections, now as your standard range.. The least you could do is keep the classics for those who appreciate your history. At the very least, in limited production.

I feel like this came out of nowhere? It was only a hot minute ago that the internet went crazy thinking neverfulls were discontinued and then bang it was actually the Speedy 35! I note they still raised the price on them in the recent price rise!

Is this ering spacer big enough for protection?

Hi! My husband surprised me with this gorgeous light yellow eternity band for our 10 year. I have never found the perfect band to wear with it but feel like I finally have, woohoo! So I want to protect the band. I bought a super thin 18k band to protect any rubbing. I don't want the spacer to be obvious or detract. Do you guys think this will provide protection against the prongs rubbing? My ering is platinum and band is 18k for reference

Mini loop in calfskin

Does anyone have the newer model of the mini loop in calfskin with the gold accents? The mini loop is the exact type of bag I’ve been looking for, but the wear and tear on the corners of the original lambskin version seems awful from what I’ve seen of people posting here. I also had a lambskin weave wallet and it held up terribly (and I’m not rough on my luxury goods), so I told myself I’d never get lambskin from bottega again. Anyone know if the calfskin version holds up better?

Help me decide! Coach Gallery Tote or Coach Parker

I have had my eye on 2 (older)bags but only really want to purchase one.

Coach Optic Suede Gallery tote
Pros: LOVE the colors, matches most of my wardrobe. Usually wear totes anyway.
Cons: very worried about the suede and color transfer. I actually saw a filthy one at the thrift store the other day for $32 but I’m too scared to try to rehab. The one I’m looking at is NWT.

Coach Parker pink stripe
Pros: have been trying to move to more mid size bags because I tend to carry as much as the bag will fit (wear neverfull a lot) which doesn’t help my back, LOVE the colors.
Cons: had it and sold it in the past, mostly panic sold right at the start of covid. Also don’t really like center compartments.

What do you think is the better choice?

Please help me decide - going to the store tomorrow!!

So background - im a guy 29 yo 5 7 typically like small bags . Currently in my collection I have:
1. MINI WOC - caviar SHW
2. Chanel Quilted small camera bag - caviar SHW
3. Chanel Reissue 2.55 mini camera bag - used calfskin BHW
4. Peekaboo xcross
5. Keepall 25
6. Gaston wearable wallet
7. Dior pouch with strap
8. Gucci opheida mini bag
9. Loewe mini puzzle bum bag
10. Balencia XS explorer duffle
11. Fendi drawstring small backpack

I have the chance to buy either the 23A Duma backpack or the lambskin full size WOC (both lambskin with gold hardware)
I know I already have the mini but the shape and size of the full size WOC would make it look like a totally different bag
But the duma looks like a really really cool mini backpack - I love backpacks I have a fendi drawstring I use for work , and would use the duma as an everyday casual bag outside of the office

I am torn between what to get - mind you the price difference is about 3K - I attached pictures of both , Im really torn, especially spending that much money on a bag. Please help - what would you buy if you were me ??

Next VCA purchase? WG Chalcedony, or Hammered Gold?

Hello TF! I would love your opinion on my next purchase. I don’t have a 10 motif necklace yet. I am on the fence on if I should get the Chalcedony WG 10 motif or the 20 motif. Or completely change direction and wait for a 10 motif either RG or YG hammered gold. I just bought my first 5 motif in WG Chalcedony. The 20 motif looks so elegant on. But I really like the idea of how easy the 10 motif is to wear. I also have the WG Magic Chalcedony. It’s why I loved the idea of getting the bracelet. I just got a pair of RG sweet hammered which is why I’m waffling and thinking should I try for a RG 10 motif or RG 5 motif bracelet? To make matters more confusing, why not YG 10 motif if I’m totally changing course. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I am in a real dilemma, I feel like baguette is back to market and strong. I have a feeling it is the next chanel flap and it is a good time to buy before the price hikes kick in even more!!
I need, or maybe want to buy two bags. 1 top handle, ideally LV capuciness BB or Peekaboo small. and one flap, chanel small flap or baguette midi.
as for colors, chanel will be black and in that case the top handle will be neutral, grey. alternatively, if I buy baguette it will be neutral, light grey and the top handle would be black and most likely LV.
Any ideas? not sure if I explained myself correctly

Advice for Speedy please

I have Speedy 25 b monogram and it is my favorite every day bag when is sunny and no rain .
I want to add another Speedy 25 but in DE so I can carry it during winter days.

But not sure-to get Speedy 25 de with or without strap?
If I get another b25, it would be like having the exactly same bag. I am not sure is that smart move ;)
If I get classic 25, it would be like another style…

Jimmy Choo Romy heels are very creased - is this normal or do they not fit properly?

I bought these Jimmy Choo Romy 60 heels in the regular leather a year ago and have worn them less than 10 times. They’re my first big designer pair of shoes and I just feel like the creasing in the toes is so significant and the top 1cm of the pointed toe looks the most odd to me. The shoes fit perfectly length wise but maybe not for my foot shape. When I look at them from the side it looks like my toes are too “high” for the shoe (see the last pic from the side), does that make sense? Can anyone else confirm if this is normal?

Experiences with different leathers on Birkin, how each type of leather holds up.

Hi, I am planning on getting a birkin 30, but is concern on on how different leather hold up over the years as well as the wear and tear on the leather.
I have heard people saying how togo leather will soften and start sagging, and epsom leather will start to have buldges (waves) on the retourne while the corners will wear faster on sellier.
Birkin owners, please share your experience and how is the condition of the leather of your bags now?
Thanks.
