Need help with DHL and returning an item to 24s

Hi, I am really frustrated with DHL right now would appreciate some input. I ordered a bag from 24s, didn't like it after it arrived, and requested a return label. DHL picked it up and it was on its merry way to France. Today DHL emailed me to say I needed to provide an employer identification number to "export" the item. I looked at the IRS website and none of the situations described there for how you would use an EIN apply. Not to mention it seems utterly ridiculous that I would have to apply for an employer identification just to send back a bag! Has anyone run into this before/have any advice? I saw an old post here indicating you could use your SSN instead offered that to DHL but they said no. Meanwhile, they are holding a $5000 bag hostage who knows where. Help ?

Chanel Hobo bag 23C vs Bulgari Serpenti

Hello everyone!
For reaching a certain milestone, I wanted to buy a serpenti Bulgari in yellow gold without diamond BUT I saw Chanel hobo caviar in light pink and I immediately fell in love with it. To clarify, I already have a Love bracelet and the Chanel classic flap in black. I’m afraid that my love for the hobo will fade away over the time, and I might regret buying it and not using the same amount of money for jewelry.
I didn’t want to post this thoughts in the jewelry forum as I’m quite sure they’ll vote for the bracelet
Do you have the hobo? Is it perfect for everyday use? Is it worth it over the Serpenti?
Please let me know what do you think
Thanks!

Bottega Veneta Bloomingdale’s Sale $25 off every $100

Bloomingdale’s is having a major sale right now! I know padded cassettes and Jodie’s are available (not sure what else) $25 off every $100!!! I just order a mini Jodie for $2000 when it’s usually $2650….

I don’t think this sale is available on the website though. In store / use your SA to order. I don’t live by a Bloomingdale’s, but I saw the sale through an SA on instagram & ordered! 89A631DA-7A0B-40BB-9180-E133B804983F.jpeg

Help with picture of Holly Madison’s MC Trouville

Hi Ladies,

Firstly i apologise if this isn’t the right place to post so obviously you can move it to the correct place.

I’ve just taken my old Speedy and Trouville Multicolor out after years and still thinks it’s one of the most beautiful bags. I loved the Murakami range. It’s made me go back and look at photos of celebrities carrying theres and the white Speedy always reminds me Jessica Simpson as she was the first person i saw with it and Holly Madison with the black trouville. My question is does anyone have a photo of Holly where she’s in where i think it’s the Sugar Factory or some other Sweet Shop in Vegas. I remember her holding a lollipop I had the photo on my old laptop but we’re talking over 15 years ago and i’ve searched it on google, found loads of other photos but not that one. I definitely didn’t imagine it. If only i could be bothered to switch the laptop on. I thought i’d ask her first. The bag looked amazing the colours so bright.

OMG!!! Did I Just Get The Text...?!?

Hey lovely people...my SA texted me last night with "I have a question for you; give me a call when you get a chance."

My SA has never texted with this straightforwardness/seriousness or the pretense of calling. We usually casually text back and forth, or we have something to tell each other---we'll just pick up the phone and call. Silly me :facepalm: didn't have my phone closeby at the time or have the volume turned up--so totally missed the text this whole time.

Do you think this could mean something exciting is coming? Am I about to get an offer?
I'm losing my mind with anticipation :nuts::panic: (nail biting)

What are your thoughts?

Cartier PG 10 diamond Love or Tiffany YG lock half pave?

Cartier love v Tiffany lock

  • 10 diamond love

    Votes: 18 64.3%
  • Lock half pave

    Votes: 10 35.7%

the first photo is my daily stack. I have split it up into two- one with just the three loves and the other with the rest (and a Bulgari serpenti WG bracelet).

I had ordered the Tiffany lock but it was defective so I have a chance to either get a new one or forget that and get another love but with 10 diamonds in PG. I’m attaching a photo with the lock included. I wouldn’t wear it like that as I don’t wear all of them at the same time or on the same wrist. Thanks for your thoughts!

Scarves SilK 90 AUTOUR DE LA LONGUE MARCHE

So I was peeking at the German site to admire Tulipomanie again, and found... this: https://www.hermes.com/de/de/produc...tions-autour-de-la-longue-marche-H002943Sv10/

The description is auto-translated by Google. I gather each item is a collection of 6 scarves, but for a long minute I thought Hermes had finally gone around the bend and decided to charge 7000 Euros for a single 90 twill.

I mean, 1100 Euros for a single 90 twill is so reasonable in comparison. :shocked:

Tumi vs Lipault

So I finally bought a Tumi Hilden backpack and I'm surprised at my utter disappointment when comparing it to my much cheaper Lipault (french brand) backpack. Both really good quality nylon, both extremely light, but the Lipault is bigger and has more hidden pockets!

Here are some photo comparison and keep in mind the black lipault is 3 years old while the red Tumi is brand new not used yet.

So this is the berry red Tumi Hilden that fits a 13" laptop next to a black Lipault Business Avenue M (discontinued) that fits a 15" laptop. The red is actually not has vibrant in real life. The Tumi weighs slightly less but not by much.

On surface Tumi seems to have a lot more pockets but all the Lipault pockets are just hidden really well. They both have a strap for suitcases, Tumi has a wider one, but Lipault has a secret zipped pocket on the back big enough for passport or extra cash. The Tumi one is on the front with a secure hold.

The front section of Lipault vs Tumi:

The very front inside small pocket of Tumi.
1680632684974384451842714612816.jpg

The back laptop compartment also has two zippers and Tumi only has one. I get that a bag made for smaller computers may not be the same as a bag made for a slightly bigger one. But given that the Tumi is 400+tax and the Lipault is 110eur including tax new, I can only give kudos to Lipault for making awesome bags.

My biggest dilemma now is which one to keep. The Tumi doesn't fit a big folder or my old 14" laptop, but I have been wanting this bag for so long and I'm so sad it isn't significantly better :(

Gabby Pouch crossbody help please!

I’m new to YSL. I purchased 2 Gabby pouch crossbody bags, one in white and the other in black from the YSL website. The black was a gift to my sister. We were trying the bags on and comparing when I noticed the white bag appeared to be bigger than the black. I measure both bags and indeed the white one is larger than the black bag.

I compared those measurements to the YSL website description and neither bag actually matches advertised measurements!!! I’m shocked because YSL is a luxury brand…how could the measurement of both bags differ from the posted website measurements???

I have Chanel, Gucci & Prada bags and never encountered this issue.

For reference, my white bag is 1/2 inch bigger in width than the website states and the black bag is 1/2 inches smaller in length than the website description. I’m going to contact YSL tomorrow.

Has anyone ever experienced this issue with YSL? Or other quality issues?
Please let me know, thanks.

We both really like the bags as they are a great small crossbody that fits phone, card holder, keys & sunglasses but the size issue is really bizarre for a luxury brand. Adding a pic from the website for reference.

Small and regular love bracelet

I called the NYC 5th Avenue store to reserve my piece before the increase. I told her I already have a regular love bracelet in Yellow gold. I said I was looking to get a small love bracelet in yellow to stack with it. She pretty much discouraged me in getting a small to stack with it. I think she was inferring they wouldn't look good together. Had anyone else heard this? I am now reconsidering my choice. She said the small rose would look better with the regular love. What do you all think? Can anyone show me a regular love with a small love in Yellow or with a small love in rose? Any opinions on this stack?

Togo in Boungainvillea compared to Evercolor in Rose Mexico?

Hi!! Would love some input. Does anyone own both? Or have comparison pictures? Cannot find anything comparing the two online. Bougainvillea is my birkin and the bag I’m eyeing is a touch roulis in rose Mexico for reference. I’ve previously owned the 23cm roulis but and think the mini would be better a fit. I will also add I’m not a huge pink person. But love a pop of color. Bougainvillea is a nice neutral pop in my opinion. Is RM hard to style? Thank you!

Looking for a small everyday bag

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a small cross-body everyday bag. It’s important to me that the bag is lightweight (shoulder issues). It has to fit a small wallet, my phone, keys and sunglasses.

Currently on my list are Speedy b 25, Croisette, Neo Noe, Noe bb, Alma bb and Pochette Metis.
I already have the Speedy 30 in DE and mono and the 25 in azur. I also have the Pochette accessoire, which I love, but it’s too small for everyday use.

I woud love to hear your advice.
