Aquamarine + sapphire = yay or nay?

Hi all,

I'm contemplating adding an aquamarine eternity band to stack with my current wedding/engagement set, but not sure if the colors will go together? My engagement ring is a sapphire solitaire while the wedding band is platinum (no diamonds). My daughter's birthstone is aquamarine hence I've always wanted to get something with that stone to celebrate her birth. However, I'm hesitating as I'm not sure if the aquamarine eternity band would look good with the sapphire solitaire and platinum wedding band.

Has anyone stacked these two stones together before? If so, I'd love to see pictures!

The Row suede

I had a chance to see some bags from The Row irl and while I wasn't thrilled by how scratched up the leather bags were, the suede was sooo beautiful! Vibrant colors and just so soft and almost silky.
They were small pouches which I don't need so I didn't buy them ( for now) but they just liked & felt really nice!
Anyone have experience how their suede holds up over time... just in case I end up giving into temptation

PRE-FALL 2023

What do you guys think of the bridge show? It looked OK, the oversized hardware theme did continue.
But for me the absolute highlight of the show were these 4 nostalgia pieces. An Alma GM in Fuchsia, a Speedy 35 in (I guess) Bleu Toledo, an Alma PM in Gris and another Ama GM in Citron. They might as well be just vintage pieces digged out from the archive (the Fuchsia GM even had a huge dent on the front), but I genuinely hope that they will be made available again. Pure classics, no bs, not ornaments or labels. Just pure classic Vuitton. Perfection :heart:

I have been eyeing on the alhambra pave necklace but not sure about what metals. I went to the store but they only had RG available (in first and third pic). So I compared that with YG pave ring (in second pic). Do you think YG suits my skin color more? Or RG looks softer and better? I tried on the frivole YG pave another time and it also looks great! I feel it is too dressy for every day wear though.

Working with 2 different SA

I need some opinions, I been working with a very good VCA SA in Vegas. 2 weeks ago I was in Vegas and has told my SA that I’ll stop by to purchase bracelet and necklace, however, when I arrived, he has left early and his coworker was helping me.
My daughter and I have to walked from resort world and it was our last day in Vegas. I decided to let his coworker helped me. I purchased mop bracelet and necklace. After they we were texting over my tracking and stuff and she was pretty nice
Today, I decided to resize my guilloche bracelet that I bought 8 months ago with the previous SA. I texted her to see she can help me, but No responded. She normally responded quickly.
What do you think? Should I contact my previous SA to have him help me? What should I do?

Help Me Decide Please :)

Little bit of context:
I have wrist relatively small (size 15- 16). I dont wear a lot of jewelry. On most days, I don't even wear my engagement ring (very minimalistic 2-carat round diamond, white gold band).
I have a hermes kelly ring and a VCA 5-motif bracelet I wear when I go out to meet people or to go shopping. Most excursions, I do not even wear those. I am wearing my Cartier tank must in the picture, but I usually wear my fitbit most days. The jewelry that I do wear, I hardly ever take them off. I do like mixing metals.
I may or may not retire my hermes clic clac.

I'm trying to decide between the following:
  • Regular rose gold love bracelet
  • Small love bracelet (prob RG)
  • Maybe a small love bracelet (RG with 6 diamonds)? This might be too much bling for my every day taste
  • Santos bracelet
I love the Santos, but also love the look of stacking Love bracelets. What do you think would look better on my wrist?

So attaching a pic of what the stack looked like when I went into the store to pick up my watch.

Thanks so much in advance for your opinions!

Coach nailed it and I love!!!

I have been eyeing and obsessing the Cary bag for months but just didn’t want to spend more money now until Macys had it on sale for 30% off plus my $20 star rewards. I clicked on it and I’m thrilled!! I love the strong pebbled leather, the outside pocket for my phone, the short shoulder strap that sits securely under my arm, the zip closure, the interior pockets and most of all, the lightness of this bag! I buy only hobos with the exception of my Ferragamo but, I have to say, this is my third Coach bag and I am so impressed! I sold a lot of my high end bags and, if Coach continues to produce great quality leather bags without the logos, I remain their loyal customer.

Chanel seasonal bags

Hi everyone, unforunately I am being outpriced by Chanel chlassic bags even second hand but luckily I have one classic flap maxi which I really love and adore. Even seasonal pieces in the boutique have nowadays a hefty price tag as far as I can see. Do you buy seasonal bags? I am looking into seasonal pieces on the second market and I think over 2000 euros for a preloved bag is a lot. Do you buy those? Is there a market, when I want to sell a seasonal bag? Do you think the market is tend to stick with the classical pieces? What is your opinion. I bought a pr loved bag from the 2017 collection- and love it. But wonder, if this was a wise investment

medor clutch: thoughts?

hiya! I notice i don't see many medor clutches posted on the forum, nor do i see that many on the secondhand market. Wondering if they are less popular? Are they considered more dated / less desirable than say the Jige or Egee?
If so, is that because of the cooling off of the CDC craze?

To be clear i think the medor clutch and CDC bracelet are beautiful but there no denying that the CDC isn't as popular as it was in the aughties

Would love your thoughts!

Should I take this quota offer?

Hi everyone, my SA offered me a Vert Rousseau Porosus Croc Kelly Pochette. Should I take this offer? Will this offer come again if I pass it up? I think it’s beautiful but also comes with a hefty price. I may have to sell one or two Chanel’s to justify the purchase. Does anyone know the current retail of this bag? I’m guessing it’s in mid 20k? I believe it’s a lot higher than retail price of ombré lizard.
The story is the SA asked me to put in bag request for Mother’s Day event. I asked for ombré lizard Kelly mini or Kelly pochette or picnic kelly mini. But looks like none of those bags are coming so he’s offering me this kelly pochette instead.

Hermès in the Digital Age: ChatGPT AI responds to Hermès trivia

Silly post incoming:
As AI (artificial intelligence) technology becomes more and more developed, I thought I would dip my toes in the AI pool to see what all the fuss was about. I decided to try ChatGPT— an AI program created by Open AI that can respond to an impressively wide variety of questions, no matter how seemingly niche or esoteric.

For my experiment, I decided I would grill ChatGPT with some Hermès trivia ranging from well-known facts to some more obscure information in order to see how the AI responded. I was quite impressed with my findings! Granted, some of the responses were completely and hilariously incorrect, but others were surprisingly accurate. I was most impressed with the AI’s ability to unlearn and relearn information, upon my correction. The following is some of my dialogue with Chat GPT.

To the prompts, “Tell me about Hermès Epsom leather” and “Tell me about Hermès Clemence leather,” this was the AI’s response:

epsom.pngclemence.png

Next, I asked about the discontinued leather Courchevel:

I then decided to increase the difficulty by asking a question that required a more detailed response: "What leathers replaced Hermès Courchevel and Gulliver?" Unfortunately, the AI responded incorrectly to my prompts, so I had to teach it the correct answer.

courchevel + gulliver 1.pngcourchevel + gulliver 2.png

Impressively, the next time I asked this question, the AI responded correctly:

Gucci Soho disco a daily bag?

Hi, I purchased this bag a few years ago in black leather and have babied it. I am wanting to wear it more frequently now but am curious if it can withstand daily wear. The leather seems delicate and from my old experience with a wallet I used, Gucci leather seems to not be able to withstand rough wear. I'm a mom of two active littles. Thanks for your input.
