Is it just me, or has Cartier become a bit boring now?

Back in 2019, I was ADDICTED to Cartier. The Rose Gold Trinity ring, Pink Opal Amulette de Cartier necklace and double Love bracelet (to name a few) had me in a CHOKEHOLD. Their portfolio was unique and edgy.. but sadly, most of these pieces were on their way out when I became serious about my jewellery collection and are now discontinued.

Nothing new/exciting has been introduced to replace them (I know Clash came onto the scene, but I’m not really a fan). Of course we have the classic ranges and they’re amazing, but I’m feeling a bit meh about it all.

What do you think?

What would you do re: offer

I received 2 offered yesterday. One I’m really thinking on.

B25 lime swift phw- perfect combo wrong hardware.

Here’s where I hesitate. I wear all ghw in my jewelry. All of my other quota bags are ghw. I requested lime with ghw and the very first thing my SA said was “I’ve never seen lime with ghw at this store”
I own 2 b 30s one in Barenia f and one in Black chevre. I don’t own a b25 yet mostly because I wasn’t sure if the handles were too tiny for my hands lol



My wishlist this year is lime and mushroom/craie. I often miss my favorite colors (pinks/pastels/greens) because H doesn’t do them in ghw)

What would you do/ advice for me?

Sweetheart pearl crush white mini

I’ve been looking for seasonal white caviar flap bag and came across the sweetheart. I bought it immediately thinking it’s hard to come by- but what do youguys think of the bag compared to pearl crush? I’d rather have the regular Chanel strap but I couldn’t find any.. which brings me to the next question:

Has there ever been a white “caviar” pearl crush bag? I’m not sure if I bought it too fast without thinking and maybe shoudlve waited for the pertfect one, which is white caviar and adjustable with Chanel straps. But I thought I read somewhere that pearl crush bags are all lambskin

And what is the good price for now with 2 years old bracelet?

I’m looking for an everyday rose gold bracelet to wear 24/7 without having to take it off. I currently wear a RG DBTY and Cartier Trinity chain bracelet that I would stack this with. I’m debating between the hammered RG 5-motif & the sweet 6-motif, but I don’t live near a boutique so I can’t try them on. I also own a chalcedony 5-motif that I don’t wear often because I can’t be bothered to take it on and off daily (which I wouldn’t have to do with a hammered piece).

5-motif:
Pros - More gold/value for the price, more classic/would age with me, could be worn on its own with impact
Cons - Very difficult to find, might be more recognizable as VCA, perhaps too much for everyday, not sure how comfortable it’d be sleeping with it

6-motif:
Pros - More subtle for everyday, could just buy it off the website, looks better in stacks, it’d be something different from the vintage alhambra I have
Cons - I don’t have small wrists so might not look as proportional, not as classic, worried that as I get older I’ll want more substantial and less dainty pieces

Shopping for 23S mini flap

Hi everyone I am new to Chanel.I have a shopping question
So I want to buy a mini rectangular classic flap in black, I went to my local boutique last month and got added to the wishlist by an SA. I texted the SA couple days ago about how possible will I get it in the upcoming 23S restock his response was like “I should start looking something else while I wait for the mini…”. I also asked him what would be new price of the mini on 3/1 before the price increase, he says he cannot provide that info.. so overall I don’t think he is pretty helpful through the text but he is very nice when I met him in store.
Anyways, I heard the restock in US is on 3/14. Will the restock happen on morning of 3/14 so I can go to the store and check myself? Or is it happening continuously thought out the month and should I just wait for his text message when it is my turn to get the bag? Thanks!

PLEASE!...OPINIONS ON THE ALTO FIR COLOR

I just made a purchase of the Alto Alma in fir. Lavenderjunkie has mentioned this color but I haven't heard any details.

I have wanted the Alto Arietta for ages in the burgundy but the reviews are 3.6 stars. Bag seems too small for many. Buyers say it is pretty but the compartments are tight

After vowing to make my collection smaller, I purchased three bags this week. Two Lo and Sons Waverely in pale grey (gorgeous---I had one and sold it and the regret settled in) and one in dark navy. I hope the grey and the leather is the same from years ago

I read about the fir color from LJ (no offense-easier on phone) and made the order for the Alto Alma in fir. This was based on size and practicality. The handles look like the Arietta. I have two Alto burgundy and I don't have the fir. I was being practical.

Fingers crossed I made the right choice and get a GOOD ONE!

The Squeeze bag

What do you all think of the Loewe squeeze bag? A hobo looking slouchy bag with a donut chain attached, pretty heavily featured in their runway show, in the hairy suede and croc and maybe other things? The Loewe IG account called it the squeeze bag recently. I’m eager to check it out in person.

As a side note, lots of great feather pieces in this collection! Wonder if JWA was inspired by the recent Howl’s moving castle collab
