Coachtopia

What do you guys think of the new line 'Coachtopia'? Seems they hire independent artists to make Coach styles in recycled / reused materials? I thought it might be like Coach's 'upcrafted', but these seem more deconstructed. Like from scraps or cut pieces, not just with drawings or flowers on them

Almost everything sold out pretty much immediately, but I'm guessing they'll do it again?

Adding a chanel 19 to my collection - opinions please!

Hi everyone,

I want to add a chanel 19 to my collection. I have a jumbo in caviar with GHW, a black trendy with ghw, a beige trendy with ghw and a coco handle in pale lilac.

I got a good deal from a reseller for a chanel 19 from 21b....more than £500 less than retail, but I wonder if its too similar in colour to the coco handle? I do have a lot of black bags and thought this could be a nice neutral, but I'm now wondering if it's less vwrsatile than a black or tan colour. What do you guys think? Pics of the coco handle and new 19 attached.

Please after injury and with vacation coming up, can you give me your opinion on Mini Aline vs Clou de Selle bag. Thank you

Hi everyone. Sorry for the long heading but I only have 12 more hours, because even though this is important the sudden health decline of our fave pet took precedence over the last two days, and now I have to make a quick decision. I want a weightless leather bag to wear crossbody on vacation after a knee injury. I found two tempting little bags, but since I’m usually a big bag girl, I will only get one, as I might not use it a lot after I’m fully healed. Both are in mint condition. Since I’ve seen neither IRL I just don’t know. Can you just tell me your opinion, please. I like that the Mini Aline is a current bag, but I do like the Mini Evie appeal of the Clou de Selle. Thank you. I hope this finds you all well!

Toy LouLou: Would you consider this uneven/warped?

Hi all!
Purchased a brand new Toy LouLou online, and received what I feel is an uneven/warped/deformed bag, but wondering if it’s just me.
It was more noticeable when I took out the tissue and attempted to see what would fit inside. The inner pockets are wider on the left side than the right (seems more pinched on the right) and the divider feels like it’s cutting in more on the top right. Pics attached.

Please let me know what you think! I’m fairly new to Saint Laurent, and have been wanting this bag in black for a while now, so a bit disappointed that the structure seems off.

Goyard Poitiers

Hello, fellow Goyard enthusiasts,

I recently came across a Poitiers Claire Voie tote bag in white/opaline (a colour resembling teal), and I really like the colours of the bag. However, I can’t find much information on the Poitiers on this sub-forum. Hence, I would like to ask if any of you own a Poitiers, and if so, how has your experience with using it been? Is it a practical bag? Are there any downsides to the bag?

Thank you for your inputs!

First YSL bag

Hi, I wanted to know what people’s thoughts are on buying my first ysl. I want something that I can use on an occasional basis, that doesn’t suffer from wear and tear after a few months. It also has to be big enough to fit my purse, keys and iPhone 14

I also like the crossbody function but am only 5ft 2 so want something that sits nicely on my hip bone.

I am swaying towards a medium sunset bag in black hardware, or a medium envelope bag in black hardware. I like the subtlety of black hardware as I kind of feel shw or ghw feels a bit flashy for me.

Could you kindly share your thoughts on what you think would be a good fit 1st bag, am open to other bags as well.
Thank you

Looking at the Multi Pochette Accessoires but not sure what material to get. I love the empreinte but not so keen on the large logo at the front. I like the canvas as I think it would be harder wearing?

What would you choose and why?

Metier or Serapian?

Hi fellow purse enthusiasts! Do any of you have experiences with Serapian or Metier that you could share?
I'm looking for a new work bag to fit a MacBook Pro 14", and would love your help trying to decide on the following:
  1. Metier Incognito Small in black calf leather (https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-sg/...ncognito-small-leather-tote/43769801095317215)
  2. Metier Incognito Small in suede (https://us.metier.com/products/incognito-small-cabas-bag-suede-marrakech) - currently OOS
  3. Serapian Secret large (https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-sg/...-large-textured-leather-tote/1647597289031530)
I like the external pockets and zip closure on the Metier but the Serapian has a slightly longer handle drop (which I prefer) and looks nice and smooshy. My workplace is casual (jeans and sneakers) so I want something low-key but that will last.

Thank you!

Purchase in Green and layover in Zurich- VAT

Hi everyone!

Can anyone share their experience on how to claim VAT when purchasing in Athens? After Athens, I will be flying to Crete. From Crete, I have a flight at 7AM, and a layover in Zurich for 3.5 hours then back to the US. Where should I go to customs?

I read Zurich isn't in the EU and I should processed VAT in the last EU destination, which in this case, is in Crete.

Thanks!

Over 40 TPF'ers, what are your HG's?

I searched and didn't see a thread talking about great topical products for the over 40 contingent!

I feel like I've tried everything but I am currently happy with Barbara Sturm, MBR, and Biologique Recherche.

My true Holy Grail product: Biologique Rechereche Lotion P50 1970....literally everyone should use this, I haven't had a breakout pimple since I started using the P50 1970. google it for yourself, the cult following to this stuff is real!pk_lotion_p50_1970_250ml.jpg

what's your HG?

Cadenas watch

want to acquire a sold gold quartz watch with jewellery like aesthetic and came across the captioned in the store, I like the chain one but the store only has leather strap one which seem too muscular tho I do like its unique design but hesitant how it would look on my petite frame ( size S in perlee clover), what do you guys think? Any of you own it and can share how you find it in terms of aesthetic and functionality? Is it a piece that need maintenance or relatively more carefree?

Do you think it’s too much wearing one clover bangle on one hand and the cadenas on the other? I’m looking for sth that can complement the perlee clover as well, the other one would be 18k rose gold/ yellow gold Cartier Panthere watch I’m thinking…..any thoughts?

Cartier Shipping US

I placed on online order (in the US) this past weekend before the price increase and the shipping date was 4/26. I thought, geez, that's a long time considering I don't want it wrapped or anything. I checked yesterday and the date changed to 4/28. Now today it's 5/1. I understand Cartier probably had a lot of orders before the price increase. But, I feel like they should stick with their original date as I need to home to sign for the package.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Maybe I just needed to rant. I've never ordered online before so this is already a disappointing start. I thought shipping used to be 2 days. Sigh.

Suggestions for a NeoNoe handle strap please

I love my LV x Koons Gauguin NeoNoe but I’m finding myself wanting to hand carry. I’d love to get a handle for it. Does LV sell a variety a short straps or handles or do I need to go for an after market brand? Any recommendations?

Here she is - thinking of getting a blue handle. I often use the bandoulière strap in black/mono and it works great but it’s a shoulder strap not a handle strap.
