Any goatskin bags recommendations?

I’m looking for a goatskin bag from any brands, preferably not any of the high end luxury brands as I don’t want to spend too much on this bag. Any recommendations? I’m a big lover of chevre mysore and chevre chamkila from Hermes but it is difficult to get more chevre bags from Hermes without spending overboard. Hence, I’m looking for other alternatives.

Broken Zip

Hello! Has it ever happened to anyone that the zipper inside the hourglass size S broke?

I sold a bag to someone and they claim to have used the zip once after they unpacked it and the zipper pull fell off and the carabiner broke. They are claiming now it was broken and it’s not real for a refund. I’m at a loss

Which one should I consider purchasing next?

For the moment, as I know this is truly an addiction without saying, I am deciding which one of these bags I may want to order to next. Colors for the My Heritage would be marine and fuschia. The MWT would be initials only sticker in either marine/gris or burgandy/gris. The neverfull would either be mono with pivione interior or maybe my heritage with marine/fuschia. I'm happy with my current collection, however these are the bags I've had on my mind to hopefully find a bit of purse peace...if that exists.

Anyone have the new Dakota bucket bag?

Curious if any of you have (or have seen in person) the new Dakota bucket bag? I'm interested to know the weight of the leather, stiffness of the bag, overall feel, etc. I'm drawn to this bag, but also reminded about the problematic clasps that I've experienced with recent Coach purchases (clasps coming detached spontaneously). 1678733500996.png

Vintage Lambskin Mini

Hi all-
I'm really wanting to buy a mini and I understand that the caviar in classic colors is not currently being produced. I have seen some vintage ones on resale sites which look great. The thing is- I would want to take it with me on my trip to London and the weather there is very rainy. Is that just out of the question for the lambskin especially on a vintage model? TIA!!

Small love - does anyone remove it daily?

I’ve purchased a 2020 small love (obviously preloved) but in fabulous condition. Obviously it won’t have the new enhanced locking system.
I went for the small as it’s easier to remove, and I would really like to remove it each day. I have horses and I’m concerned about how battered it will get when I’m dealing with them! Especially the amount of time my hands spend in water! However I’m now concerned about the wear and tear on the screw mechanism. I did see on YouTube that nurses etc go for the small so it can be removed easily when they’re at the hospital - so I assumed it can be removed daily. But now I’m worried.
Does anyone else remove this often?
Thanks

Are you people still loving your Pochettes accessoires (old, new model)?

I just bought a vintage Pochette accessoires from 2001. Hope it still has the lucious thick canvas like my old Deauville.

Before buying it, I was reading some threads in this forum and did not find much about it whether people are still using it or how they like it, despite finding a lot posts about people talking about its availability and talk about discontinuation etc.
I read in some threads that many people prefer the newer model because it is larger and has a longer shoulder drop. I have one from the Ramages collection which is like that, but I actually prefer the shape of the previous model more and also the thicker canvas on the vintage ones.

I am planning to use it as a bag in the bag, like for transfer reasons or when you are on travels for the quick grab to the bathroom or similar. As a handbag it is too small for me.

Many people should have this bag.
1. I am interested in whether you still like and use it?
2. And which one you prefer!
3. Or did you switch to the multipochette or toiletry pouch (totally not my thing…) side?

Excited to hear what you all say. :smile:

Burberry Factory Outlet in London - looking at getting a trench coat

Hi Guys,

I was searching for a thread on this but noticed it was a long time ago since that thread was created... wonder if anyone has been to one before? We are heading to London in April and I am a mission to hunt for a Trench coat. I didn't mind paying full price but since I read that you can get similar style at a discounted price... I won 't say no to some savings LOL. I am after a Kensington Trench so if anyone has been to one before please let me know if you remember the price. Would prefer the one near London rather than the Bicester village.

Many Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I’d love to hear opinions from anyone who has the trendy cc on how it’s held up over time -

I’d love to get it as an everyday bag but am concerned specifically about 1- the nameplate bar looking scratched quickly
2- corner wear given the shape and no feet
And of course 3- how easy it actually is to damage lambskin (though from what I’ve ready people say somehow the trendy cc version is more durable?)

Thanks so much in advance for any info anyone can provide — it’s such a stunning bag

Cartier pasha - should I switch to a leather band?

Good evening ladies. I have a pasha c chrono that I never wear and I’m considering updating It by adding a leather strap. The watch feels very heavy for me that’s basically the reason I never reach for It.

If you own a Cartier pasha with a leather strap can you please post photos and let me know how It wears? Did you get a Cartier strap? Is there anywhere else you recommend getting a leather strap etc.

Should I keep or return this twiggy?

I got it for $150 total.

I didn't see in the picture but the entire outside is painted in blue leather paint. Compared to the inner tag and mirror, it makes me cry; it's dry, looks dimensionless and the color is so acrylic chalk paint blue, and it was obviously painted on the stitching as well which completely makes the bag look like any other bag to me.

Is it was bad as I think and I should return it, or is it ok for the price? Is there anything I can do to remove the paint and then dye it to hide whatever blemishes the previous owner was trying to do? What would you do?

Thank you!!! :heart:

Etincelle or Love small bangle?

Hi,
My dream stack is all these but unfortunately due to the loose fitting of my juc n love, the tennis bracelet doesn't work, it gets tangled up even though its the same length as my love. I am thinking of replacing the tennis bracelet with either Etincelle or another love small in white gold...
Which one would you choose? Thanks in advance.

Thoughts on beige Claire in lambskin vs caviar?

Yesterday I saw two beautiful bags, a beige Claire medium in caviar and a beige Claire small in lambskin, both in gold hardware. Does anyone have the beige Claire in lambskin? It has a beautiful feel…just wondering if I might regret buying a lambskin due to its more sensitive nature in a light color.
