Did anyone buy a 23p dark beige coco handle?

I found this gorgeous coco handle in the boutique over the weekend but after I unboxed it at home I noticed the leather is peeling. I wasn't sure what the problem on the corner was, but the handle definitely shows that the leather is lifting, so unfortunately this bag is going back.

I just want to ask anyone who has purchased this exact bag, are you noticing the same issue? I'm wondering if this is a problem with this collection. The color is perfect, but I don't want to waste my time chasing after it, if this is an issue with this collection.

Rolex new releases

Hi Rolex lovers, starting a thread (which hopefully doesn’t already exist) for new Rolex releases - scarcity, popularity, thoughts etc.

So a couple thoughts:

There’s a new oyster perpetual with a bright blue background and balloons. Some aspects of this watch remind me of designs by Dmitry Rybaltchenko who creates work for Hermes. Anyone else see the similarity?

The new gmt watch in gray/black with jubilee bracelet is stunning. Curious if anyone knows whether that will only be a 2023 model and how difficult it would be acquire one.

Black hardware for Kelly

Forgive me if this is well known info, my experience with Hermes is limited to shoes & bracelets I’ve purchased and bags I admire. I tried to search & didnt immediately see it either: is black hardware available for a Kelly? I’ve seen it on Kylie Jenner’s Birkin so I know it exists & I thought I saw a pic of Nicky Hilton with a mini Kelly with black hardware, but it couldve been the lighting. Obviously some type of special order, rare thing, but just wondered if it existed or was possible?

Thanks!

Mini Boston 2003. Christian dior under zips?

I want to check on a couple of things before I lodge a complaint. I have just received a 2003 mini Boston. Should the underneath of the main & inside zipper have Christian Dior underneath? Should the inside pocket on little popper button have Fioccki? Italy on the bag side of the popper? I’m suspicious and was just wondering if my suspicions are right or not before I embarrass myself!

PSM - to get or regret?

I have been eyeing the Palm Springs Mini for years, but I decided to go with the bumbag instead. I loved the bumbag and wore it everyday for +2 years but then overnight got tired of wearing a bag so close to my chest.

Now the PSM is back on my radar, to “replace” the everyday, carefree use of bumbag. But something is holding me back from purchasing.

Is it a style that is too old now?
Is it better for younger women (I’m 37)?
Is it worth todays retail price? (Only buying new from store).
Will it be a favourite bag?

Crinkled patent question

Hello everyone, just curious if there are any crinkled patent bag owners who can speak to the durability of the bag. When doing some searching, it seemed patent in general isn't too popular but if anyone has some insight on how it wears it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Edited to add- it's my mom's, purchased yearsss ago and she's carried it maybe 3x but said she's willing to give it to me :) i don't neglect my things but i hate purse swapping and plan to use it regularly

Celine Triomphe WOC - funny smell?

I bought a Triomphe woc last week, and as soon as I unboxed it I noticed a bit of a funny smell - kind of sickly sweet - almost like weed! I’ve left it out to air it but the smell isn’t going away. My husband thinks it might be something they’ve treated the leather with - so interested to know if anyone else has one and if yours smells funky too?
Picture because it’s so pretty even if it’s smelly lol

Cartier trinity necklace with center diamond

Does anyone have this and can share what they think about it? I am interested in purchasing this online but I don’t see any reviews on YouTube for this item. I saw this at the store a few months ago while traveling but never tried it on. I already have the interlocking love necklace and D’amore diamond small necklace both in rose gold and I wanted to add another piece before another price increase. I don’t like the JUC or the clash necklace although they seem to be more popular on YouTube. Is there a reason why this necklace is not very popular? Thank you for your time.

Gold or Etoupe

Wanting to add a Garden Pary 36 to my bag collection and am torn between gold and etoupe. I wear almost all neutrals and can't decide which is a better option for my wardrobe!!! I found a brand new etoupe 36 garden for retail, but worry it will be too cool toned?? Any input would be greatly appreciated as I live too far from the store to go and see them in person!

Harry Winston Pear Solitaire Pendant Size

.73 or .83?

  • .73

    Votes: 10 20.4%
  • .83

    Votes: 39 79.6%

I have decided to purchase a HW pear solitaire pendant. I am stuck between two sizes and was wondering which everyone thinks would be best. The .73 is on the right, and the .83 is on the left. I know it's not the biggest difference, but I dont want to get smaller and regret later. I also don't want to spend an additional $1,700 if there is a barely a difference. This is for everyday wear, I like delicate, more subtle pieces. I cant try it on in person, this would need to be shipped to me. Basically, do you think the .73 is more than sufficient or is the .83 worth the bit extra?

Goyard “Bunny” St Louis (PM)

Hi, just bought this from the Goyard Boutique in Japan and was hoping to find out more about the bunny “painting” on the bag. I have seen the ones with Hulot the french bulldog but not the bunny. Am told by the SA that this may have been released for the year of the rabbit.
Any information will be much appreciated!

Gift from grandfather

Hi all,

My late father has left us some money. I would like to buy a gift for my 14 year old daughter for her to remember her grandfather.
I am leaning towards a piece of gold jewellery which can last for a very long time. It doesn't have to be jewellery but this is what I have in mind right now.
So I brought her to Tiffany - she chose bean and the RTT necklace.
Appreciate any help to make our decision?

Thank you in advance!

New addition-Edgy & Industrial: ecrou & JUC stack

Finally, pull the trigger getting the ecrou.

Last year i have tried the ecrou in a larger size and it was not comfortable. Bought another yellow gold JUC to stack with my white gold juc instead. But finding myself checking back on the ecrou modeling pictures from times to time.

A year after, ecrou randomly came to my mind and i thought should give it another try with a smaller size. Worked out perfectly and very comfortable this round!

I guess ecrou was my True love lolC3038085-EB07-4E32-A627-C86EFB94170D.jpeg

Medium Kate

Does anyone have the medium Kate & would be willing to post a pic of what fits? I 100% do not need it, but just carried the small for a week on a cruise & I just love the look! I’m nearly certain it will be too small for what I carry every day, but I just need to know for sure. LOL! Neither the Saint Laurent or the Neiman near me have one in stock. Thanks!

Hi!
I would love your expert opinion! I am trying to sell my Chanel Mini Square
I am having a really hard time pricing this since it’s such a rare piece that I can’t find much comps…
What would be a good price to sell this item? I am also a little hesitant on whether if I should sell it but I do have many bags and my conscience is telling me to sell some I am not using…

Gucci Dionysus external canvas peeling? :(

Hi guys! I hope you can help me out with my Gucci Dionysus.

I used the bag yesterday and have noticed this white mark on the slot between the gum and stitching on the external portion of the bag. There’s another smaller one at the bottom. I touched it and it felt sticky, and I felt some eraser shavings- like residue that stuck to my fingers when I slightly rubbed those parts because I thought they were just some type of sticky residue.

Is it what I think it is? That the coated canvas of Gucci is peeling? It’s like the print of the canvas is slowly coming off and revealing the white base underneath. It’s very noticeable and such an eye sore. :(

I purchased this in June of 2019. I used it no more than 30 times and then the pandemic hit and I barely used it because of the situation and I got new bags since then and I’ve been using them more.

Is there any remedy for this? Reglaze? Repaint? Will Gucci repair this?
