My small but mighty neutral collection

I’ve been a long time lurker and always admired the bag showcases on here. After years of collecting and selling, I feel that I’m happy/content enough with my current collection to showcase it on here. I also decided to collect only neutral colors so that it could easily match my outfits and also because I love a neutral aesthetic.

I only have a few bags I bought at full price (the Goyard St Louis, Prada re-edition, and a premium for the Chanel mini from 21p collection:wtf:‍♀️) since these were in high demand at the time. Everything else was bought in the resale market at lower than retail price.

Many of my pieces on here are proudly vintage. I’ve been obsessing over vintage shopping after all the crazy Chanel price increases and am ecstatic to have found some rare and unique vintage pieces:hbeat: which I’ll probably forever cherish and pass on to my future daughter(s) (I’ve been doing IVF for years due to infertility and finally have some embryos and they’re girls:crybaby:). Anyway, thank you for listening!C9F9A66E-977B-4512-BC0D-2F994DA376AC.jpeg

Hard to capture it’s true colors but it’s a very neutral- black and brown collection!

Khaki Goyardine — 170th Anniversary Editions

As part of its 170th anniversary celebration with a theme inspired by the forests of the Morvan, Goyard will launch a limited edition of pieces in a "Khaki" colorway. Per the Maison’s January 2023 announcement, the collection will include the Cap-Vert PM and the Belvédère PM.

Please help me decide - birkin 25 or 30?

Which Birkin size?

  • Birkin 25

    Votes: 133 35.6%
  • Birkin 30

    Votes: 241 64.4%

Hi all, I would be grateful for some help on which Birkin (retourne) size to go for. I am really torn between the 25 or the 30.

I am 171cm (5’7) and this will be my first quota bag.

My hesitation is that the 25 is too micro for my height but the 30 is too big to take to dinner? I have been able to try on the 25 in store but my SA didn’t undo the wings so it looked smaller than what it may actually look.

Thank you!

Kate Spade Buying Kate Spade from Zappos. Legit?

Hello everyone. Just wondered if anyone here has purchased Kate Spade from Zappos? Just based on google results for “Does Zappos sell knockoffs?”, it would appear that they are legit. I’m only concerned because the bag I’m looking at, the Spade Flowered Jacquard Medium Market Tote, is 30% less at Zappos than at every other site including KS.com. Also the dimensions provided by Zappos differ from the dimensions I’m finding at every other site.
So does Zappos sell the same bags as katespade.com, or are they a discount version more like an outlet bag?
Anybody have any experience with this? Any info is appreciated.

Can you ID these earrings?

I was watching renovation island on HGTV and fell in love with Sarah Baeumler’s earrings. I’ve searched the internet but can’t find them. Does anyone know what these are? I’m assuming they are designer. I know she has Van Cleef jewelry but I don’t see these earrings on their website. Any help would be appreciated. They appear to be diamond pave and possibly yellow gold.

Hina PM -repair advice

Hello LV friends,

I have a Hina PM Mahina purchased in December 2020. The magnet has always been weak and doesn't stay closed well. I never thought about having it replaced or fixed until now, more than 2 years later. Gulp. I do have the receipt, box, etc and can take it back to the store where I purchased it, if that helps. I am not experienced to know how LV handles these things. Any insight? Thank you :)

(I replied on an old thread in the reference library but was hoping to ask this somewhere where it will be easily seen, as to get more input. I hope that is alright)

Settle for clemence leather?

I've just bought this bag from a reputable seller at a good price (not cheap but not bad), it's K32. I believe from the photo (I'm in abroad so taken by DH) that the leather is clemence (the bag will go through bababebi auth as soon as it lands in my hands so not asking any q on this).
I am not a clemence fan, it annoyed me slightly on B35 I had (no idea why TBH, just like togo more). BUT!
  • I really wanted this specs (Rouge Grenat, SHW) and size
  • the price was decent
I am exhausted with chasing wishlist in Amsterdam, chasing my Polish SA who doesn't seem to be that interested in my business, FSH lottery is unlikely though I don't live far (but to be offered the exact specs or even be offered Kelly at all...). I probably could source the specs in togo but think the price would be considerably higher (or eg. I'd have to pay VAT+customs if sourced from the US). And I also would have to wait to find such specs.

What to do? I will use this bag daily. Not worried about the weight. It will go to spa to be refreshed. Other than my dislike for clemence from B35 (vert cypress) leather, I already love it.
