Wishlist reveal... from 2009 Cruise!!

I wasn't buying Chanel in the early aughts, but I love watching and reading about older collections. It's a lot of fun to see past fashions. And, well, a few years ago I fell absolutely in love with a classic flap...from 2009 cruise. I honestly never thought I'd see one in person, much less have the chance to add it to my collection.

Fast forward to 2023. I'm browsing a Japanese selling platform that I frequent, and guess what pops up... FULL SET, including original retail tag, for less than the cost of a mini square.

When I tell you I panicked :sweatdrop: and then JUMPED--

And now it's mine! Care to guess?

Nano Speedy Lagoon - help me style it’s so small

I just received my nano speedy in the new pearly lagoon color today. I had never seen a nano in real life until now and it is SO small. I feel like it looks like a bag for a small child. It fits a lot so that’s not the problem. But it just looks so teeny tiny, and this is coming from someone who is 5’1 and small!

Have you felt silly wearing it? Are you loving it? How do you style it?

Mini Reveal! Small Envelope Bag!

Omg I got my dream bag! I scored this small envelope in black with silver hardware for $1190 USD!! I couldn’t have purchased it at retail price. It unfortunately has tinyyy bit of wear at 2 corners but I only found it because I was looking for it. Since I got it for more than half price I’m okay with it. I’m so excited to have her in my collection. So after buying/selling with much indecision - my 3 YSl bags are this one, my black on black toy loulou, and my dark beige mini Lou. I couldn’t be happier! I’m surprised that this bag holds more than my mini Lou and although my iPhone 14 pro max doesn’t fully fit in back pocket, you can rest it in there securely enough while doing something. It won’t fall out but you can see it sticking out. At least it serves a function. I can’t fit it at all really in the mini Lou camera bag. My wishlist has the Niki bag of course and one day a toy or small puffer but it’s not practical for my lifestyle at the moment with babies and toddlers lol. Oh and I still love the medium Lou camera bag. I regret returning it buttt it’s not big enough for carrying kid stuff and it’s not small enough as a crossbody along with diaper bag kinda situation so I think I’ll wait a year or 2 and find one with back pocket on preloved market. Also my Epi Alma BB kind of serves as the same function in terms of black bag and size. Of course Lou is more casual though. Does anyone have envelope bags to share? Not sure if there is a clubhouse for them here.

LV gold Keychain repair?

Hi all...I have a gold large LV keychain that my husband bought for me several years back. I actually used it as a keychain, which caused the plating to tarnish/wear. It's been sitting in my drawer now for a few years. Will Louis Vuitton do a repair on this, like replate it? If I use it as a bag charm, I think it makes LV look like their quality is poor. I would like to use it again, but would love to get it replated or something.Key ring.jpg

Scarfdecisions… mod shots of these colorways?

So I’ve abruptly become aware of the world of Hermes scarves and in order to avoid falling off a cliff so to speak, I’ve established a budget that will allow me to add 7-8 ‘high priority’ scarves to my collection in the near term.

I spent the last couple of weeks combing thru past threads and have done a lot of self education, but I’m currently debating amongst the following scarves to be part of that 7-8. Of the below 5, I think I could only choose 2 for now, as I think I’ve settled on the first 5 to 6 scarves.

Does anyone have any of these in these colorways and would be willing to share mod shots? Thanks in advance!

La Selle Imaginaire… I think I want this one but mod shots of any colorway would be useful.

DA experts: is this bag dirty?

I got it from fashionphile in excellent condition, it looks the same as a pouchette I have that has been used only one time. But I can't help but feel like it looks dirty. Is this how it normally looks? I watched cleaning videos on you tube and started with baby wipes which pulled off no dirt at all. Trying to decide if I should buy that whitening dog shampoo to clean it or if this is just the normal appearance of DA, then I won't bother. Thanks!
