Hi guys!

I've been debating on whether to get the Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 or the Goyard Boston 45 duffle bags! I plan to use it as a personal item along with my carry on luggage. Has anyone had experience with either as a personal item? I actually do already own the Goyard Boston 50, but have been debating if I should get something different for a personal item sized bag.

If you look at the dimensions of the Boston 45 on the goyard website, it says that is 49cm in length (so seems like its closer to a 50 rather than a 45 lol) so I wonder if it would be considered too big to be a personal item? Wonder if anyone has used it for that purpose? I would fly mostly domestically here in the U.S. though so I know for the most part they are more lenient with luggage sizes.

I do like the Goyard Boston 50 I have but I don't like how it has absolutely zero interior pockets, at least the keepall has one interior zip pocket, and you dont have to purchase the strap seperately. Pro of the goyard though is that it at least comes with metal feet at the bottom.

With these crazy price increases though, the Boston 45 costs more than the price I paid for my boston 50 and its still an additional 1.5k over the keepall... so wondering if its worth it or just better to get the keepall? I know many use it for travel and haven't had issues.

Let me know what you guys think! I would consider the classic monogram eclipse keepall or the gray goyard duffle!

I can't get this particular Chloe coat out of my head....ROP

I have looked at other similar styles, but I can't find this exact coat.
Others just dont "quite" have the exact appeal of this particular Chloe coat (the length, the spacing of the buttons, the lapel shape and size).
Alas, I cannot find this darn thing anywhere? Any advice is welcome to either find it or to get over it!
TIA :)

Dilemma on mixing metals

All of my jewelry pieces are in yellow gold except for one white gold bracelet which I received as a gift. I’ve always been drawn to YG but I do acknowledge the fact that WG also looks really nice on my skin tone. I’ve been checking on what to purchase next and the VCA 5 motif onyx and diamonds in WG combo is so eye catching in my opinion but if I get this, I feel like I will start purchasing more WG pieces to wear with it and scared I might end up not being able to use most of my YG pieces as often specially on the days I’ll be using WG since I’m not into mixing metals.

Have you guys had this dilemma? If so, did you end up sticking to one metal color or end up mixing them together?

Love Bracelet VS Bvlgari B.zero1 Bracelet.

Hi everyone,
I'm in a position where can finally buy a Cartier Love bracelet that I've long admired Looking at the small, with no diamonds. Simpler the better as it suits my style. I currently own a Panthere and have been looking at adding one more Cartier piece but I'm a little reluctant though as l'm feeling guilty that I could be spending this money elsewhere. I'm planning on giving the Panthere to one of my daughters eventually and want another piece for my other daughter. Some have suggested i get a jeweller make me one for a far more reasonable price but 1. It feels like it would be a copy, and 2. I can't give one daughter Cartier and the other daughter not. It's important to me they are equal. I'm also considering the Bvlgari B.Zero1 as its not as common. For those who have owned either for some time, has it been a worthwhile investment? I'd love to hear your thoughts TIA

Bottega Veneta Rubber Flash Pumps Fondant CARE

*** NOT MY PHOTO*** just for the reference.
I don't have my baby's photos, so I grabbed a reference picture from the internet for now. If there's a problem, I'll delete the photo.

Bottega Veneta Rubber Flash Pumps Fondant

I have this in the beige color on the right side, and the shoes themselves are SO SO CUTE. They're perfect for wearing on rainy days—they're comfortable and lightweight. It's just perfect! However, the issue is that once I wear them, it gets marks that are hard to remove very easily. I want to style them with a pair of denim jeans, but I'm worried about the dye transferring, so I haven't been able to wear them with long bell-bottom jeans.

Do y'all think it's gonna be okay to spray a bit of silicone spray on them outside? Or do I just have to wipe them down every time? Does anyone know how to care for boots made entirely of rubber?

Edge paint okay on white?

Hello
I am thinking of buying my first Gucci bag. I love everything about the beige and white GG emblem mini bucket bag - except the black edging. Do you think it looks unfinished? Is it a sign of poor quality? Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Anyone have clear & nude heel recommendations?

I never thought I'd be looking for clear, but here I am! lol
I tried on a pair while dress shopping, the SA put in dressing room to use for trying on dresses and I actually really liked them!
I bought them in my size but NIB they were a little small, but the clear straps are a little loose just half a size up :(
I love how elongating they are on my leg and how they truly disappear.
Does anyone wear them and love theirs they can recommend?

The ones I've been trying at Gianvitto Rossi Metropolis.

Help me choose a white tote that can fit a 14" MacBook Pro

Hello Ladies,

I am looking for a white tote for the office. I am petite: 5'4" and wear XS, there is a 90% chance you see me in a polished/ slightly flowy maxi dress. So it's important to find a balanced-size tote. I usually carry my laptop/charger, phone, small wallet, and a Mini Pochette Accessoires. Not too heavy but roomy enough to accommodate my laptop. I need it to be white, not cream as it goes with more items in my wardrobe. I drive to work and would use a zipped bag insert. I prefer shopping pre-loved whenever possible. I already have this YSL shopping tote and love it! I found these listings to start with, your feedback is most appreciated 😄

Contender #1: Chanel tote bag: this looks dirty/ discolored: any chance for it to be restored? Is it worth it?
Contender #2: Givenchy tote: this one has a crack per item description, I just see a dent, so I am not sure. It is significantly cheaper than the next one:
Contender #3: Givenchy tote: better condition

Thank you!

Help! Size a bit big…

I bought these slip ons second hand (though they look barely used) but they’re a bit big for me - I normally wear a size 38EU in most shoes but these are a 38.5. They’re a narrower fit and my feet are quite wide so it’s not too loose of a fit. I’m a bit on the fence and only have 72 hours to send them back. When* I really* squash my feet into them (I can’t too much because of the width) I can put my index finger in. I’ve added in photos for reference. The side by side is of my everyday shoes ( almost 5 years going strong) which in all honestly are a bit snug for me but I can still get away with them as the front doesn’t narrow out if that makes sense. I plan on wearing them in the summer and due to my work I’m always on my feet so on a good day my feet end up pretty swollen (today the weather is really cold so they’re all shriveled up😂) If I do keep them, I may buy insert pads for the back. Anyone with similar experiences, if so anything that worked? Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

ALAÏA logo inconsistency

I was looking at the Alaia Le Teckel at Neiman Marcus today and noticed that the logos on these bags are all over the place.

Sharing some product images from the official Alaia website:

Link and link

Is this normal for Alaia? Did they recently change the font of the logo or something? Or is this a quality control issue? I would have thought some of the bags at Neiman were fake if I didn't find these images on the website!

Frivole small WG earrings or Frivole WG Mini Pave earrings??

Hi ladies!

Am in a bit of a dilemma.. i am missing a piece of WG versatile earrings in my WG collection and am thinking of adding either Frivole Small earrings or Frivole Mini Pave earrings..

I prefer small size as i usually let my hair down and small or non dangle earrings get lost and hidden anyways. Although i love my Tiffany hardware small earrings in silver, the look does not go with my WG VCA pieces which are mostly from Alhambra/perlee lines.

I am also trying to find WG earrings that would match my 10 motif Chalcedony necklace.

Appreciate your views or if anyone has similar pieces and can share mod shots!

I tried on the small in store but did not try on mini frivole as i was considering btw small and large. I do appreciate that Mini size is good for daily or easy wear.

I have WG pave pieces frm alhambra and perlee lines

New Bulgari bags introduced

I just happened to see this week on the Bulgari website that news bags have been introduced. There are several new bags, or new versions of existing bags, shown, but these are two that are completely new to me. At the moment, my only Bulgari bag is the Roma in the larger size and in black.

First: the Marquise, which brings to mind the LV Alma and the Hermes Bolide, but it's different from both. Available in two sizes. In the larger size, it's offered in black and in ivory (white). In the smaller size, it's offered in black, ivory, red and turquoise. https://www.bulgari.com/fr-ch/sacs-...arquise-sac-a-main-cuir-de-chevre-noir-294654

The other new bag is Cuore (heart), a name linked to its shape -- although when I first viewed it, I saw an ear shape rather than a heart. I'm not a huge fan of this bag but it does have a terrific handle. Available in black, ivory, pink, red and turquoise.

Photos: first the Marquise (I like this one a lot but i recently bought an Alma PM in black Malletage ...)

Bar jacket

I have long admired the Bar jacket and am seriously thinking of taking the plunge. I don’t have a lot of true high end designer clothes (Chanel, Dior etc). This would be an investment purchase for me and I would hope to get lot of use out of it at work but also in my personal life to be worn more casually. I like the shape and the covered buttons. I am not very tall and I am busty. I am leaning towards black with navy as a second choice. I’d probably get the cigarette pants to go with it.

For those with the bar jacket, what are your thoughts? Do you find it versatile and wearable? Do you reach for it often? Does it wear well?
Would you recommend something else?

I’ve thought about a Chanel jacket but while I love them, I want something more subdued and less recognizable.

Love bracelet: Classic vs Medium

Which size do you think looks better?

  • Classic size

    Votes: 36 75.0%
  • Medium

    Votes: 13 27.1%

Hi all, went to Cartier this morning tried on the love bracelet. Not getting it anytime soon but wondering which size do you think looks better stacked with my JUC? Classic vs medium.

I have a small wrist so I thought the classic would look too big on me but I feel like it’s not. If I end up getting it, I plan on stacking it with my JUC. I’m not the type to sleep with my jewelry on so most likely I will be taking this on and off and I won’t be wearing it daily since I work in healthcare.

Here’s some photos. Just to differentiate, I tried the ones with diamonds for the classic size. Thank you!
