I am looking to get either a mini flamenco clutch or mini flamenco purse.
Anyone got both the mini flamenco clutch and the mini flamenco purse? Which one do you like better or recommends?
I know they are different leather so the flamenco purse in lambskin are more prone to scratches? Thanks

how is the durability of the Loewe felt charm? I really love them and would like to get one (or even a couple…) for my baggage but I do wonder about durability. Does it hold up fine over time? How about when it rains?
I love the chow chow but it’s 100% white so I am also worried about getting it dirty - I should get something else?
Thanks

Hello dear everyone,

Need an advise on the pendant to pair with my Vintage white pave earrings.

For the white gold I have sweet pave bracelet that I love to pair with my tennis bracelet and watch .

My other loved pieces are Gmop pave rose gold vintage and mop vintage bracelet that I wear if I am in a mood for warm gold .

Separate necklace is 10 mop yellow gold that I wear on occasion with my diamond studs for a different look.

Now I know that vintage pave white gold is a perfect match to complete a set .
For those of you who has this pendant how often do you wear it?

I currently wear my white pave earrings on their own or paired either white love diamond pendant that had for years as a special gift from my husband .
Sorry long post but wanted to see what do you think.

P.S. I have tried frivole pave pendant that I loved but feel that need to complete my set first .

Would be more for casual wear so to speak .
Thanks!!!

Hi All,

While on my way to the office this morning I have received an email from VCA saying they have opened a boutique in Frankfurt today.

I was quite suprised, did not see this coming and went there during my lunch break.
Coincidence or fate,lol, that it was also my office day today

Just wanted to give all Frankfurt or German based fellow VCA lovers a heads up that they have some nice inventory for the opening available.
I managed to get a piece I was hoping for, will reveal soon.

Does anyone wear your Smile earrings vertically like a climber (right picture below [random picture from a Google search and not my own!]) instead of horizontally like a classic smile (left picture below)? I’m lacking in white metal earrings aside from martini studs and am considering the new diamond mini Smiles. I like the idea of wearing them 2 ways for versatility but am wondering if they might look silly vertical. Thanks for your input!

My newest Dooney... the Belmar 35 Janine in Strawberry.
And she is stunning. I debated which size to get... the 30, 30 N/S
or the 35 and opted for the 35 because the base was deeper.

The Strawberry color is a vivid true blue red. In bright sunlight it
is red, not pink, not raspberry, not fuchsia, and it has no hints or coral or warm
undertones, it's not a tomato red.. It's a beautiful color
and while I wasn't sure if it would be some red/pink hybrid (it's not),
I'm very happy with the strawberry pure red color.

The Belmar 35 is a large satchel, but it is not oversized.
and the base is not 7" (as stated in the listing), but a little under 6".
Due to the structure of the bag, I knew that the usable space
would be smaller than the measurements, and I made the right
choice. It's also about 13" long, at most, not 13.5.

The Belmar 35 Janine is very similar to the Alto Delphina...
in style and size. The major style difference is the Janine has the
leather snap over top and the Delphina has a center zip pocket and
just snaps to keep the bag 'closed'.

The leather of the Alto and the Belmar
look and feel very similar. Both are finely grained and thick and structured.
And oh yes, the Belmar, even at list price, is a lot less expensive than
the Alto Delphina. True, the Alto is made in Italy. But the craftsmanship on
the Belmar is excellent and the look and stitching is very
reminiscent of Alto.

The Belmar 35 comes with a long 3 part cross body strap,
which is 3/4" wide. I don't know that I'd ever carry a bag of this
size on my shoulder or cross body, but it's a nice strap.

The Belmar 35 Janine is a little bigger than the pebbled leather
Janine, which is probably closer is size to the Belmar 30.

Has anyone here had experience with polish/ shining/ repairing dents off their Cartier rings? Dropped my panthere ring the other day and it caused quite a deep dent on my bathroom floor (I was rushing). Obviously devasted since it’s a pricier ring. I know polishing takes off a layer of gold etc, and I’m ok with scratches but not dents. I tried polishing with my cloth and it obviously didn’t help much. Also very dumb of me since I dropped my serpenti ring in the same month. View attachment 6205653

When I’m after a specific designer bag secondhand I swear I turn into a full-time researcher lol I’ve got 15 tabs open at once and I’m checking a bunch of different marketplaces constantly. Curious if anyone's found any sites or sellers that are usually better priced or if that’s just wishful thinking and it’s always random?

I originally asked my SA for a Picotin in Craie or Nata, but I recently tried on a Beton at FASHIONPHILE and it was absolutely stunning. I also fell in love with Vert Comics, such a fun and unexpected pop. The Beton is priced quite a bit over retail, which is why I didn’t go for it, but I can’t stop thinking about it. Now I’m torn…do I wait and hope my SA offers one in craie, beton or nata, or go for Vert Comics now… or maybe both? How hard is it to get a light neutral picotin from your SA. I have a good standing relationship with mine.

I noticed the other day the strap holding in the cross body strap on my Belvedere was starting to rip.



A couple days later it completely just ripped off.



I’ve never had an issue with my Goyard bags so I don’t know what the process is. Can they repair something like this? Do I need to pay and any idea what the cost would be? Complicating things is that I don’t live close to a boutique (none in Canada) so do I need to go to either NYC (closest boutique) or make a trip to Paris (where I purchased the bag)? I don’t even know if they do repairs in the US. Would appreciate any insight!

Mini panthere watch owners- how often do you need to service your watch and what have the costs been to maintain and upkeep it?

I’m very close to getting this watch but was curious about maintenance and servicing specifically for the mini panthere. Thanks!

Can someone please help me identify this handbag worn by Bella Harrigan in TV series MobLand? Thank you!

I am considering buying these earrings online. I can not visit a store right now but need to know the width and length dimensions before I order.

Do any of you ladies have this pair and could you measure it for me? Preferably in mm. Are they heavy? A mod shot would be fantastic as well. lol

Thank you so much

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting, and I’m hoping someone here might be familiar with this bag. I recently purchased the Destree Frank S bag from Saks.com. It arrived with hardware on one side, but there’s no clasp, magnets, or any type of closure at all. It honestly looks like something’s missing, but I can’t tell if that’s just how the bag was designed.
I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find much detailed info on this specific style not even what collection or year it’s from. Has anyone else purchased the Frank S or know more about it? Just trying to figure out if this is a design flaw or if mine is defective.

Thanks so much in advance for any insight!

Hi
Anyone with the woven hammock bag?
Is the bag secure?
It is a beautiful bag but I am worried about its wide opening and wonder how practical it is.

Hi friends. Need help with a decision. Backstory is that I’ve been going thru my closet weeding out what to sell vs. keep and I’ve come to realize I have a very classic style when it comes to LV and fashion in general, everything else is going. My most cherished bags have been milestone bags - DE, Mono or DA. This year is a biggie for me and after contemplating what would be a special, timeless addition, I’m leaning toward Mon Monogram. I love the LV saffron yellow and selected Carmel as the 2nd. Haven’t seen either in person. Thoughts on this selection? Colors ok or clashing? Or something else I should consider? So appreciate your help, only you all would understand…

Can anyone share their reviews and photos of their bags? I am eyeing the chocolate color as an easy grab and go for casual days. I know it’s small but I’m wondering if it holds phone, keys, key pouch and the new key pouch S catch all. Thanks! (I think chocolate sold out so I’d go black then)

So i am a true winter and I suit white gold and silver.
I have the yellow gold love with four diamonds because I was stubborn and wanted it to work. But the more I see it, the more it's obvious it does not suit me.
So I'm now saving up for either the white gold love with four diamonds or white gold juste un clou with diamond accent on the tip and nail.
Which one should I get?
I know it's my preference and I should get the one I like more but I genuinely don't know which one I like more!

Hi All! I would like to get a frivole pendant and am debating between the mini and small sizes. Which is better for everyday wear and can be dressed up or down? My initial feeling is the mini but will the mini not have enough presence? I am petite though so it’s probably fine. Do you think the small size is too big/flashy (because of the high shine) for everyday wear or to be worn with casual clothes?

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum, and my main bag collection consists of Juicy Couture (pre-2008), Dior, and LV. Lately, I’ve been diving deep into archiving and researching Juicy Couture from all angles. I came here hoping to learn more about what people really thought of Juicy bags during their peak, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this forum goes all the way back to 2006!


Reading through the old threads has been super interesting (and kind of funny, lol). It turns out bag lovers back then weren’t exactly thrilled with what Juicy was offering. The fans of the brand were usually outnumbered in polls or discussion threads. Common critiques included: the bags being popular mostly among a much younger crowd (think tweens/teens), questionable quality for the price point, and the overall "mall rat" aesthetic the brand gave off at the time.


So now I’m curious.... What was your opinion of Juicy Couture bags back then? And how do you feel about Gen Z going crazy for them all over again?

It is not from JellyCat, and not from Hermes. It's a parody that is oh so adorable. 😍
I'm checking the price on multiple sites and it ranges from $299.00 USD to $450.00 USD. It initially seems cheaper on Chinese sites but with the delivery and taxes added up, it still ends up around that price range. Maybe I'll need to make a phone call to a friend in China for her to bring me back one. (It's less than $100 USD retail in China!)

Here are two YT videos featuring this bag:

Prices aside, would you buy this JellyCat Firkin bag?

Edit: Changing the name to FURkin, cus it just makes more sense. Thanks @Deco

Hey besties!
I’m torn between the white gold and rose gold JUC bracelet, so please help me decide!

I already have a thin Love and a small Clash, both in rose gold, and now I’m looking to add a small JUC to my Cartier collection. The dilemma is: which metal?

White gold has been trending lately, it’s so elegant and understated. My skin tone is about 70% True Summer (cool) and 30% Light Spring (light warm), so I can pull off both white and rose gold, as long as the finish isn’t too flashy or harsh.

But I’m unsure… if I go with the white gold, will it mix well with my existing rose gold pieces? And does white gold actually suit me better than rose gold? I’m feeling so indecisive. Would your thoughts!

Contemplating whether to get this snowflake vintage ring. The owner says she bought it in Kyoto Japan vca maison about 30 years ago but lost the coa. What do you all think?
