Would you travel Europe wearing your Rolex?

I will be going to Europe in Aug/Sept travelling to Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Rome, Sorrento & the Greek islands.

Currently torn on whether I should wear my Rolex (datejust 31) or leave it back home.

There have been a lot of videos about people being mugged for their watches as of late.

Curious to know if any of you have travelled recently to Europe and did you take your watch with you?

Mine is basically an extension of my arm as I wear it so much! But I also do not want to risk my personal safety.

Damier Azur First Bag

I’m debating on acquiring my first DA piece, probably Graceful. The dilemma is that all of my SLG are monogram. So I guess I will need a wallet, either a pochette accessories and/or cosmetic pouch, I like to organize in this fashion. Part of me thinks since the other stuff stays in the bag it’s no biggie, just get a wallet. But my OCD kicks in. I just can’t wrap my head around these prices just so it’s all matching, just to have one bag in this pattern. I could just buy the Maida in Turtledove and will be the same, if not less.

Any opinions are welcome.

Slingbacks - noise when walking?

I’ve been contemplating getting a pair of slingbacks for a while and recently went in to try them on. Love how they look on me, but hate the ‘slapping’ sound they make as I walk. Has anyone else experienced this? It makes me super conscious, especially since I’m a fast walker. I was planning to get these as every day/ work shoes but the sound is making me rethink. Would appreciate any tips from others that have experienced this.

GST still relevant??

I came across a NWT beige clair GST recently and it got me to thinking about why I sold my black GST back in 2013!! I have been on the market for a new tote... was contemplating a Garden Party 36 in gold, but now that I saw this beige clair GST it has got me wondering! Do you think the GST is still relevant? If you have one do you still wear it? Would you purchase one now if it was still availalbe ??? THANKS ALLLLLL :)

Store purchase question

I waited to purchase my bracelets in store and shopped at the AVentura Mall Cartier. I had a really crappy experience and I’m so mad about it. It ruined the experience completely for me. I asked for the travel pouch with pillow and he never even told me he didn’t have them and gave me some huge funky travel case. So I went back and another guy says they will ship it to me supposedly when they get them but I don’t believe it. Would the customer service help if I called and asked for them? I purchased 2 bracelets in store and I’m irritated.

My other big question is this.

Is it normal that they pull out bracelets from a drawer that seemed like they were display purpose bracelets? How do I know it’s new? I think he lied to me and I’m so upset about the whole thing. He just magically pulled out 2 bracelets and I’m wondering if those are used for sizing purposes only and are put back if someone doesn’t buy. For spending over $12K in a store, I’d expect to be sure it’s brand new and never put on anyone else. I had them wrap my items and haven’t worn them out of the store. Do I open it here and inspect them before leaving for home tomorrow?

I purchased a Love ring in AZ 2 years ago and had the best experience ever and the lady was amazing. I hoped to ask questions and just couldn’t. The guy couldn’t wait to get rid of me.

Clash or Ecrou Bracelet in RG

Hi, appreciate if you can give me some opinions on these two bracelets. I went to the boutique to try on the clash and ended up trying these two and love both. I have Love (plain) and JUC (diamond head) bracelets in YG, only wanted to add one more piece.
The clash is very different from my other two, while the ecrou seems to look more like a set with my other two and look nicer than I thought when worn
I brought the clash home as comparing both, clash has more intricate workmanship, look different and cheaper in case I want to exchange.
Can you give me some advice pls. If this is to be the last Cartier bracelet, which should I go for. Thank you for the help.

Chanel 1213

Hello, I'm not familiar with Chanel.
My dad gave me a tie (yes, a tie) that he had. He doesn't remember where it comes from but it was probably a gift.
On the back it has the classic logo with the double C followed by the number 1213... There is a sort of stripe which says (CC) 1213 (CC) 1213 (CC)... and the number is like if it was hand-written, different each time.
I was wondering if that means something.
I could post some pictures later, but does anyone know if 1213 means something for Chanel?
He has another scarf with numbers but those are the classic Chanel numbers from the perfumes: 5,19,22 so that's pretty clear. But I haven't found anything about 1213.
Thank you.

Are these repeats?

Repeats or not?

  • Repeats, toy loulou can be dressed up enough for those needs.

    Votes: 5 62.5%
  • You will feel limited with the toy loulou.

    Votes: 3 37.5%

If you were starting your luxury collection and curating - would you say these are repeats? I have so many pretty chain straps for the toy LouLou. It’s definitely great for date nights etc but if I had a random wedding or formal event, could I get away with the toy Lou Lou? If so, it might make more sense to only keep the toy Loulou since it can also be very casual with other straps. Not rushing on this but would love to hear other thoughts. Thank you and I hope I can help others with these polls since you have all been so patient and helpful!

Favorite Boutique in the South of France?

I am counting the days until our vacation in Nice this June. We will be staying in an apartment in Nice and taking day trips to many of the nearby towns.

What are some of your favorite Chanel boutiques? We will definitely visit the one in Nice since that is where we are staying, and our other top pick will be the seasonal pop up boutique in St. Tropez.

Then depending on everyone else’s schedule we will try to go to the boutiques in Monaco and Cannes.
And of course, we want to visit other boutiques such as Lanvin, DIOR, LV, Bulgari and Hermes.

Any and all advice on the best places to shop will be much appreciated. My group will include 4 ladies that love to shop and 3 men who do not love to shop… so I am hoping to have a game plan for the best picks before we go. :D

This or that? Update! Got myself a little something

Hello all,
I hope everyone’s doing well?

I’m in quite a dilemma and would love some help/ insight on the same.

So, I’ve been thinking about adding either of these two beauties to my collection for quite a while now.
But somehow I’ve just not gotten around to it.
They are Clash de Cartier earrings and a YG Ecrou bracelet.

I’ve been building my arm stack for the last few years.
I’ve got a YG love bracelet-4 diamond, regular size YG JUC and last year, I added a YG SM Love bracelet.
Last month, I purchased a YG SM JUC ring.

I had been thinking quite a lot about the ecrou for my stack. I just fell in love with the way it looks all together.

The earrings are something different. Not so recognisable as the rest of the collections. And I found them to be very pretty when I tried them on.

I thought I’ll get the earrings this month and the ecrou later in the year.
But today, I received a call from my SA informing me of yet another price hike coming next week.

I don’t know which one to get. Both have quite a Wow factor but I can only get one. Keeping in mind, the ecrou is almost double of the earrings.

I do own quite a few earrings from Bvlgari. None from Cartier so far.
And quite a different assortment of diamond earrings custom made.

Please do let me know what do y’all think. Should I get the ecrou for my stack or does it look too much?
Or are the earrings more wearable ?

TIA

Let‘s open a thread for the Gucci Pikarar Kawaii collection! Something so cute needs an own thread!

Does anybody like the collection, have gotten something from it or want to? :love:

I just got a wallet for my brother‘s birthday!

On my wishlist are the pink loafers and the matching wallet! Wish they would make more bags in wearable sizes!

I had decided on the pinkie for a small clash ring (picture below) but realized the size I got is too big. When I go to the boutique to exchange, should I stick with the pinkie? I realized that might be limiting in that it would be too small to be worn on any other finger if my fingers swell or shrink. On which finger do you folks wear your clash? Pictures greatly appreciated:-) Thanks for the input!
