Which Casual Bag: Niki Medium or Lou Camera Bag?

Which edgy/casual black daily bag?

  • Medium Lou Camera Bag

    Votes: 6 25.0%
  • Medium Niki

    Votes: 18 75.0%

Curating my collection and really only need 1 edgy/casual everyday black bag. I have the new Lou Camera Bag with the back pocket and aged silver hardware. I love it! (I also have 2 mini Lou camera bags haha!). Too many camera bags?

Should I get a gently pre-loved medium Niki instead? I loveee the edgy look to it and the double chain strap but I love that smooth and shiny black calfskin on the camera bag. It feels more luxe to me even though the crinkled vintage leather is really cool on the Niki.

Thinking of keeping the Niki on my wishlist for the future but feeling silly having so many camera bags even though they work really well for the moment I’m in right now.

Earrings, Tiffany Victoria, HW Lily or Cartier Maillon Panthere?

Dear Jewelry Lovers, could you please help me choose which one of the three earrings below I should get?

I'm building my small platinum/wg collection and very interested in the three earrings below. I tried the first two in store, loving both and haven't tried in the third one yet. I'm looking for sth flexible, that can be dressed up and down, can be worn daily or casually with tshirt and jeans, sth not too feminine/girly. I already have VCA YG paved Alhambra earrings, and not a fan of the frivole series. So I'm looking for sth in different style. I appreciate your opinions and help. Thank you!

1. Tiffany Victoria, Medium, Platinum setting

Please help me decide what bracelet to get before the price increase. For reference, my current bracelet situation - I currently wear YG regular Love bracelet by itself. I own a small YG Love with diamonds which I'm thinking of selling because I prefer the look of a regular Love and don't love how the two look stacked.
Which one would you choose from these options assuming price is not a factor, but let's say that it'd be your last bracelet purchase for at least five years.
Adding photos of the bracelets I had a chance to try on - regular JUC, regular JUC with diamonds, Panthere and Clash. The Panthere bracelet is a size too small. I haven't tried on a small JUC yet.

Favorite Amazon or Other Chain for Pouchette Assessories

Hi Friends!

I need an inexpensive strap for my PA so I can use it for a concert bag. The PA will hold my phone, tissues, lippy, tissues, and a couple of cough drops. Perfect for a concert.

There are plenty on Amazon. Maybe I will just throw a dart at one. I think I want a chain, but worry a little about weight and getting tangled in my curly hair.

W does anyone have a favorite or two?

Thanks!

I posted a few months ago looking for some help picking a red shawl or scarf for my dad’s upcoming celebration of life. He LOVED red.

There were a lot of wonderful suggestions and I ended up getting going down a rabbit hole with scarves and fell in love with the Selle des Steppes with a red border and black background.

I would love some help picking out a style of knotting & scarf ring that best shows off the red border.

David Yurman Wedding Band Quality

Hi everyone! I'm starting my search for a wedding band and one ring I'm interested in is the David Yurman Lanai band in 18k yellow gold with pave diamonds (not the full pave). Does anyone have this ring (photos appreciated!!) or can anyone speak to the quality/durability of David Yurman rings? I hope to wear this almost all the time, but would take it off for showering/washing dishes/any super strenuous activity. Thanks!

Recommendations for high quality cashmere

Does anyone have any recommendations for high quality cashmere brands that will last through multiple seasons? I have tried many different brands ( J crew, Vince, Saks and neimans store brands, ralph lauren, alice and olivia, etc.) and the sweaters have all pilled relatively quickly. I am very careful with my sweaters and still have cashmere sweaters from many many years ago that have lasted ( RL purple label was fantastic). Unfortunately, the quality lately seems to be declining. I have seen Alice Walk and Jenni Kayne all over tik tok but I can never tell if these posts are sponsored or legitimate.

Does anyone have any brands they can recommend?

Chanel Jewelry

Hey guys!

Just curious if anyone knows what Chanel costume ewelry is actually made of, specifically earrings. What metal, and if the earrings are gold, is it plated with real gold or just a gold enamel?

Bottega’s earrings are sterling silver with real gold plating and cost around $800. So just trying to see where Chanel is at with their costume jewelry.

Caviar - big vs small grain

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know about the different caviar grains? Some are big, some are small. I read somewhere that this depends on the source of caviar, either haas or incas. Other than sizing of the grain, is there any other differences between the two? I remember reading that one might be softer than the other, but I’m not sure that’s true.

2023 Downsizing Your Bag Collection

I started collecting bags last year, and I told myself I wanted to save more money and stop buying this year. However, in the last few months I accumulated a lot of cheap bags, which necessitated my first downsizing. I also reminded myself of what my rules are for bags. Would love to hear about other TPFers' downsizing experience.

Bags that were sold/donated: twelve or thirteen bags. Mostly cheap shoulder bags and some bags I bought years ago and never wore.
Trade: sold two Celine medium sized bags. Vintage Celine Horse Carriage shoulder bag and Celine box bag in medium size and black.
Bought/Replace: I bought two Celine box bags in teen size, black and brown.
Current count: 18 bags.
