Hello, my name is Immigratty and I’m a Bagaholic! Presenting my collection, yet again, as I was having technical difficulties with the first TWO bag showcases I posted! I am a GUCCI lover! My collection is overwhelmingly GUCCI, and I also have several Dooney & Bourke pieces as well. I plan to add Hermes soon, but you know how Hermes is…I’ll be selected to purchase eventually! Can’t wait to post that update!

This thread will be updated in the near future. There are several pieces missing from the photographs in my phone. Most of these were previously posted, and I’ve added a few new!

Thank you all for viewing my bag showcase, I hope you find things you love, and please continue to check back for updates!

Hello! I think I’ve seen this posted within a longer thread but I can’t find it. Someone had mentioned their favorite travel case that fits the VCA travel pouches. Does anyone recall the name of the brand of case? TIA

Which purple do you prefer? Left or right.

How do you maintain your raffia bags? did you spray your Loewe raffia handbags with a protectant? If so, which one?

I received my first Loewe raffia handbag and am tempted to spray the raffia and liner with Scotchgard. The raffia has a glossy feel. I don’t think I need to treat the leather with Apple Gard. Oddly, little research is available on this forum.

If so, do you like it? I’m trying to decide if I want one or not and what it fits. I’m thinking of evening only. Do you think the Marmont is out of style?

Last year I sold my vintage Lily in NVT oak, only to regret it this spring. Luckily I found preloved oak Lily about the same age. It is in very good condition otherwise but the leather feels different. My previous Lily had more structure (guess it was used less?) and the leather felt smoother and glossier. This Lily is floppier and the leather feels somewhat rough. I’m not sure if the leather is dry (I did apply collonil gel to it, but it didn’t make a huge difference) or is this just the nature of this bag, the leather looks just fine but feels like someone had used a sandpaper on it. Any idea how to treat it? It doesn’t bother me that much but I feel like the smoothier the leather, the better it will resist stains and scratches. TIA

Any recommendations? I usually shop TRR and Vestiaire for clothing but sometimes wary about authenticity because it’s so much harder to find authenticity guides on clothes as it is for bags and such!

Recently scored a super cute dior jacket for such a good price on TRR but unsure if it’s authentic! The quality is superb and the stitching is near perfect! I feel like you can always tell if it’s fake or not right away but I’m not sure! The dior monogram is consistent, the coloring isn’t off like most fakes, etc!

Found this bag at an estate sale. I've seen similar 1990s hobo bags, but have not seen one with a knot in strap like this. Fake? Thanks for taking a look!

I recently came across the opportunity to purchase a small black loulou with black hardware in great overall condition (corners are perfect, inside is perfect, chain straps have no damage or chips). The only problem is the bag has a heavily scratched logo on the front. I've wanted one for quite some time but never pulled the trigger for one reason or another. The price is half of current retail. While it's obviously an excellent deal, I'm torn and the person selling it says that YSL will repair it. Does anyone know anything about this process? I do not live close to a YSL store (closest is about 3 hours away). Do they do repairs? Will that decrease the value if I decide to resell? If they will repair it, why wouldn't they have it repaired then try to sell it? What are your thoughts on this situation I've found myself in? Help!

Hello,

I just purchased my first Chanel bag yesterday (classic WOC). It didn't come with the care booklet & cleaning cloth I've often seen mentioned from others. When I called Chanel customer service today, she said care instructions are available on-line, and she had no answer about the microfiber cleaning cloth. She put me on hold for several minutes and was reading off a manual so she didn't seem very knowledgeable. Do Chanel leather goods no longer come with a care booklet & cleaning cloth in 2023? Thank you.

That’s it. That’s the request. I really want to be able to purchase leather crossbody straps from them as their guitar straps sometimes just ain’t it.

I’m torn between 2 vastly different pieces as my next Tiffany purchase. This would also be my most expensive Tiffany purchase to date. I do have a fair number of gold earrings already (gold Peretti bean, Cartier JUC, Cartier Love stud, Paloma arrow single earring, VCA sweet carnelian
Alhambra) and only 1 all-purpose silver necklace (18-mm silver bean) plus a silver Peretti large bottle that doesn’t work with all outfits. However, the cost of the Hardwear is very high for a silver piece (albeit a solid, substantial one), and the Lynn earrings seem more timeless. Thoughts? Thank you for your input!

Let’s see your beautiful Soho bags! We know the disco bag is a hot commodity, but the Soho collection has so many beautiful pieces! There is a separate thread for Soho bags, while posts are welcome here, I’d love to see the other styles in this collection get love.

For those who own the WOC in the mini size - anyone know where to get a base saver for the 2 compartments ? I can only find them for the regular sized WO

Hi all,

I was asked if I'll be interested in attending.
Have any of you attend any of the pop-up stores? What were your experience? I've never been to a pop-up store so I don't know if it's worth it to go. I live 6 hours away.
Thank you for sharing!

So what are your favorite SLGs/ pouches? With that Jumbo Julian I will need a few pouches. I’ve got this RM pouch on my list. The Portland leather goods makeup pouch and or eclipse also on my list.

Hi!

I’ll be heading to Paris in a couple of weeks and wanted to tame advantage of the savings while I’m there. I’m hoping to pick up a speedy b 25 DE, monogram pochette Métis and zippy wallet. I may get one more bag, but for sure those 3 items.

Since this trip isn’t intended to be about shopping was wondering what’s the best LV boutique to stop in that would have good stock (or at least these items) that isn’t super crowded or long lines. I just want to run in and out with my goodies. Lol. Also, what’s the best time of day to go?

Thanks again all!

I am wondering if anyone has used US based resellers to sell their vintage Chanel bags. I looked at FP and they are currently saturated with black medium double flaps so I won't even bother requesting a quote, but I don't know where else to check out. I've heard Yoogis price is pretty low to sell. Any help would be much appreciated!

It was no secret back than Naoko Takeuchi loved Chanel during her serialization with Sailor Moon. I do not know the whole details, it seem her art will be publish in Chanel marketing.

Hello everyon, I’m debating between le pliage Green tote bag in size M or L. Can size M comfortably fit MacBook 14 inch? Im sure size L can fit it but I wonder if it’s too large for my frame (I’m 156 cm, size 34). Thanks

Hi, I’m planning to buy pearl studs, I decided that I want Akoya pearls in 7,5-8mm. Initially I was thinking about getting it from Tiffany, but after I created a thread asking if it’s worth it, some members suggested going to Mikimoto for pearls, it got me thinking but there is no Mikimoto where i‘m, however I have a friend who is going for vacation soon and can get it for me. So he is the questio: does it worth going above grade A? I read that Mikimoto pearls are top 5%, so even lowest grade should be good enough. if it worth going for a higher grade, what would you recommend? thanks

This thread is for all of the Diamanté Divas! Let’s showcase our beautiful pieces featuring Gucci’s ORIGINAL monogram pattern!
