This is a Delavaux Brilliant. My bags are mostly serious and classic pieces and this bag caught my eye because it looks fun.

My concern is if it is trendy or not. It is pricey so I don’t want to resell because I lose a lot of money the last I did. I buy bags with the intention to keep forever.

I am almost 50 so does it look too young for me? Can I still carry it in my 60s? TIA!

For fun I'm curious how many people use the built in slots and how many use a separate card holder or wallet with their WOCs.

I find myself using my card holder which I guess is illogical considering it's literally called a wallet on chain LOL!

Vintage Chanel Restoration/Spa

Does anyone have a good place for a vintage classic flap restore? I think I may need just some cleanup and a repaint, but am also looking to have my other classic flaps spa'd for just small dings.

Everyone seems to love Leather Surgeons, and I have honestly had the worst experience ever provided to me from them. Any recommendations on somewhere I could send my bags?

Got necklace lengthened & getting it sent back to me has been a circus

Took a love necklace to NYC flagship store while traveling there for work (thinking this would be the most efficient way to get my necklace lengthened) and it's been done for well over a week and every time I call customer service - no one can determine if it's been mailed. I've had multiple people call me, say it's shipped, say an emial confirm with tracking will be sent - only to have none of that happen and customer service tell me (today) nothing's been shipped. I get they're busy and my item isn't worth $10,000, but wouldn't you think this process would be less of a cluster F given how expensive this stuff is? I never had this issue with Van Cleef.

End rant...

Mini Bags + iPhone dilemma (not fitting) IDEA!

I was wondering about an idea I had for those of us that use the extremely small mini/nano size bags that don’t hold a phone. If you have a cellular based Apple Watch, and you don’t want to wear it on your wrist (I wear rolex) - is there any type of case that you could put your Apple Watch in? Like without the strap to avoid bulkyness. like a little slim holder of some kind that makes the Apple Watch face easier to hold in your hand when you take it out to look at? Like a micro sized iPhone? please tell me something like this exists? Is this a dumb idea? Is this something everyone already does? Lolol! Help! 5CB0C61D-BAD2-467F-A4D3-D9297BA581EE.jpeg

Work Outfit for New Job?

I recently landed a fancy new job in the finance sector (which is new to me) and I’m struggling to figure out what to wear for the first day. I’ve worked primarily in the non-profit sector, prior to this role, so I’m stressing a little bit. I want to come across as polished and put together, keeping in mind the fact that regionally, people tend to dress fairly casually where I live.

I would appreciate any feedback on these two outfits!

Multiple client profiles?

Just dropped my watch off for service - and sales associate said that I have multiple profiles (my maiden name and my married name) and that there isn't a way to link/combine them. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Seems a little silly to me - same phone number, same email address, etc. (All items have purchased at the same boutique - NYC flagship.) I have a very "basic" collection, so it probably doesn't really matter, but still...

YSL Small Loulou Bag vs Loewe Small Puzzle Bag

YSL Small Loulou Bag vs Loewe Small Puzzle Bag

  • YSL Small Loulou Bag

    Votes: 21 38.2%
  • Loewe Small Puzzle Bag

    Votes: 34 61.8%

I'm conflicted, I absolutely love my YSL small LouLou in dark beige and have considered getting another in the blanc vintage. However, I've also been obsessed with the Loewe small Puzzle shoulder bag in tan. I've read/seen rave reviews about the puzzle bag leather being gorgeous (comparable to Hermes leather), is understated and everything about the shape appeals to me. The Puzzle bag is the more expensive of the two (not by much) but it makes my heart sing whereas the small loulou is my favourite of all the bags I own.

What are your thoughts? Should I stick with the safe option (the YSL Loulou) because I'm familiar with it or take the plunge and try something new? Unfortunately, we don't have a Loewe store here in New Zealand so I can't try it out in person.

Hermes Home ware Recommendations

Hi everyone! For those of you who are into Hermes homeware, what are some of the items you'd highly recommend? Any items you regret purchasing?

We are building our new country home and the color palette is on the warm-neutral side so we got some mustard, beige, rust (warm orange tone) colours in the living room and also got light oak flooring, white walls etc. With the rooms being more neutral. High ceilings, chandelier in the entry and kitchen. Silver hardwares in the kitchen and bathrooms. Big picture windows/floor to ceiling windows in the dining and master ensuite. It's our dream home so it's quite spacious, light-filled, high ceiling type.

I wanted some items that don't scream Hermes but I'd like them to add character to some parts of the home as well. I looked at their ceramics and I'm thinking of purchasing some sets that align with the colour of the home as we will have space for them in the extended butlers kitchen. I'm contemplating if I need their throws or their blankets for the theatre room and the living room as I've watched YouTube reviews saying the blankets and throws aren't worth the money? I haven't seen them in person and I'm at least an hour away from the store so when I visit I kinda want to know what I want so I don't waste my time and the SA's time as well.

Would love your guidance xxx

My latest Hermes haul!!

Hello everyone! :smile:

I have never posted in this forum before, however, I have began my Hermes journey since last year and have slowly started to grow my collection mainly from shoes and some accessories. I have mostly bought from the Hermes website as I have found it being easier to get the items I want since I don't live near a boutique.

I was really happy to have been able to get this what seems to be sought after anywhere. I have waited a good 5/6 months for it to pop online one evening in the colour combination I have been keeping my eyes on. Anyway, without further a do..

CF41DDDF-23A8-427F-9843-B7163B3AD98E.jpg

It's the Hermes bride-a-brac in Naturel small size. I also picked up my first twilly (brides et gris-gris). I haven't been able to find a good neutral colour combination for a long time and I snapped this one to not only use on this little gem, but also on my other branded bags. I love the design and details on the twilly and I am happy to see the various bag charms on it. :heart:

I have also ordered a crossbody strap since I love crossbody bags and will use this as a mini/small bag. I have a bolide case in mini which I also turned into a crossbody bag. I love finding ways to make pouches functional for my lifestyle since I have young children and always on the go and need a handsfree type of bag.

Let me know what you think? Have a lovely rest of your day/night!

Issue with belt

My husband gifted me this belt for Christmas but because I was pregnant I never got to try it on. I put it on today at home just to try on and as I was taking it off the leather around the belt hole cracked. Is this normal? This is after one time of just putting it on. What will happen after multiple use?! This never happened to my Gucci belt which I’ve been wearing for years.

Which is the better tote?

Which tote is better?

  • LV Neverfull MM Epi Noir

    Votes: 8 61.5%
  • YSL Niki Large Shopper Tote Black with BHW

    Votes: 5 38.5%

Sooo I am all over indecisive. I love the YSL Niki line and am wondering if I should get a black on black shopper tote to use for work and it doubles as just a bag I can use out and about. However, since being bit by the LV bug, I am eyeing a black Epi neverfull. I get caught up in LV being timeless yet YSL has my heart the majority of the time. What do you think? I love how helpful these polls are :)

Speedyb 25 or speedyb 30?

So, I have a love for the speedy in both the 25 and 30. Currently, I have 2 in the 30b (DE and mono), 30 classic (my heritage), 3 of 25 classic (DE, DA and mono) and 1 DE in the 25b.

Here's where I would love some insight. I'm considering ordering either the 25b or 30b in the my heritage, OR the MWT (with initials only) which only comes in the 30b, OR just the 25b in mono or azure?

At the moment, I'm not liking the 30 classic in the my heritage as I prefer the 30b. I've also thought of possibly ordering the neverful mm or the graceful mm with peony interior.

Should I leave my current speedy collection alone and just go with a shoulder bag or do something different with my speedy collection?

UPDATE - PLEASE HELP!!! Restore my So Green Picotin 18

Dear all Picotin experts/lovers! I purchased the so green clemence Picotin 18 from Fashionphile last week. It came with full set and everything looks fine except for the sagging corners due to the way they stored it, I presumed. They probably stored it by putting the bags on top of each other or something. The bag was not stuffed and looked smashed inside the box when I first received it. The leather seems pretty soft and on top of that they didn’t store it properly so they ruined the shape.

I LOVE this color so much and am obsessed with the monochrome lock that’s why I determined to get both so pink and so green Picotin 18. My so pink I got last month although also clemence but it seems to be thicker and more structured. I don’t even need to put a bag insert for it. Now with this so green I got from FP, I put the bag insert in just to see if it helps and it looks better but the corners still sagging.

I am planning to buy a pillow bag shaper to put it in and see. However, I’m not sure if it will help with the sagging corners at all. All the experts here please help and share some tips based on your experience. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to keep although I love the color so much. Thanks so much in advance for any advices and tips you might have. Have a good day!:hbeat:

My Closet Rocks (MCR) my-closet.rocks - Is this site legit?!

Hi Everyone~

Saw a Prada Cahier bag I really want from this seller. Has anyone bought from this store? Are their authentications trustworthy? If so, please share your experience and tips.

I see they are selling on EBay, VC, and their own website with no return or 4 day window/store credit only refund. However, this store has 100% perfect feedback despite the strict return policy. I have never heard of this website :x

Thanks in advance!
