Demellier Vancouver - stitching query

Good evening. Wondering if anyone already owns a Demellier Vancouver with ecru stitching ? (I'm very interested in the new tan coloured grain leather with ecru stitching). If so is the stitching very pronounced and does it discolour/get dirty with time ?
Unfortunately I'm not in a position to see before purchasing so any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Small bag for concerts / NBA

So, I have done a search (and thank goodness someone resurrected the Disney thread, I had been looking for it forever) but nothing applicable.

I’m looking for a small purse that can be worn crossbody to take to games and concerts. Must be black. Can be designer or even Etsy.

I would love it to have a zippered enclosure and am looking for leather. No double compartments please. Must be 6x4 or smaller and fit a small wallet, iPhone 13 and a small pouch. Something fun or interesting would be great as well! (Nah, I’m not particular…)

Any great suggestions?

Thanks so much!!

Susan Hussey, Baroness Hussey of North Bradley, once Lady-inWaiting

Susan Hussey, Baroness Hussey of North Bradley, once Lady-inWaiting

She has become more or less off-topic in other threads.
Maybe we can talk about her in a thread of her own?

Here is some info:

Susan Katharine Hussey, Baroness Hussey of North Bradley, GCVO (née Waldegrave; born 1 May 1939), known as Lady Susan Hussey until her husband was raised to the peerage in 1996, is a British noblewoman who served as a Woman of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth II and as a Lady of the Household from September to November 2022 under King Charles III.[1][2] According to BBC News, Hussey "was a key and trusted figure in the British royal household for decades.

2023 Wishlist

I'm not seeing where someone has started a 2023 Wishlist thread yet so I thought I'd get it going!

I don't have too many specific items that I want for 2023, so here's hoping I'm able to check them off:

* B30 or B35 – Black first choice, but would also love any other neutral. No pastels, not particular on hardware.

* In The Loop Belt Bag - any neutral, no pastels. Is this still even in production? I've never seen one in person, and I don't see many reveals or posts about it.

* Faubourg Tropical CSGM in Blanc / Rouge / Corail – still kind of iffy on this, I’m hoping it’s more pinks than reds/peaches IRL. Looks so pretty online, though.

* H Deco teacups and saucers OR H Deco mugs

* Cosmographia Universalis CSGM in Rose / Blanc / Bleu – I missed out on this and have been kicking myself for waiting for the store to get it so I could see it in person before deciding. I’m pretty sure I would have loved it, and I should have listened to my SA when she said if I don’t love it I could return it. I’m hoping the shawl gods will take pity on me and decide to put some back in inventory.

Wearing Hermes in London.

Hi everyone,
I’m travelling to London soon and I’ve heard a few things about not being able to carry expensive bags lately. e,g Birkins and Kelly’s, some even say Chanel.
Would some londoners give input on this?
I obviously would love to take some bags but I don’t if it’s unsafe.
I know at the beginning of the year when I was there is was fine but I’ve heard things have changed.
I only really stay around the bigger places, Mayfair, Knightsbridge etc etc.
Thanks!

Game: Keep Forever, Swap, and Banish

Let’s play a game! It’s the handbag version of Shag, Kill, or Marry.

Here are the rules:

Based on your current collection, you have to choose one item that you would…

- keep forever (pretty self-explanatory - one bag/item you would want to keep in your collection forever)

- swap (something you would trade and what you would trade it for)

- banish (you would get rid of this handbag and could never own it again)

You can leave an explanation if you’d like, or you can just list the bags. I’ll go first:

Keep forever: Totally MM in DA
It’s tote-sized but with a full zipper closure and two outer pockets that are perfect for holding water bottles. I just can’t imagine owning such an expensive bag and keeping a water bottle inside of the bag - I’d be too afraid of it leaking! It’s been a great bag when I need to carry more than the essentials.

Swap: MPA for DZP
I totally got into the hype of SLGs and bought this for all of the pouches, but honestly, I rarely use the small pouch or the round coin. I think the DZP could work as a wallet and as an easy to grab, essentials-only crossbody bag. And I would have saved at least $1000 had I gone with this option!

Banish: YSL black wristlet
Perfect for weddings and nice evenings out, but I’m saving up for a Chanel and once I get one, I don’t think I’d have any need for my wristlet anymore.


(I’ve only been on TPF for a few months, so if a thread like this already exists, so sorry - feel free to move it to the existing thread. Also, this is my first thread - I’m so excited I found this community and love reading everyone’s posts!!!)

YSL Envelope Medium in Smooth vs Poudre??

I just realized that the envelope bag I received yesterday from SaksOff has smooth leather and not poudre (pebbled) leather like my uptown Pouch purchased directly from Saint Laurent. I’ve only seen photos of the bag as poudre. People talk about throwing the envelope bag around and I can’t see me doing with smooth leather. To be clear, the smooth is not shiny.

Is the smooth leather version of the medium handbag legit?

Broken Roberto Coin Tennis Bracelet

Hi all,

A few month ago I received a 5ct Roberto coin tennis bracelet as a gift and was super excited about it! I took it off one night and noticed that the diamond attached to the insert class fell off. THANKFULLY this happened at home and nothing was lost, but was upset at the fact that this happened after only 4 months and I never wear any jewelry to shower, workout or sleep. Has anyone had a similar experience with this brand or is it just bad luck?

Strathberry East-West

Hello bag lovers!

I’ve always been a larger bag kind of guy despite being barely 5’4. Mulberry Bayswater, Large Strathberry Tote, Speedy 35 etc.

I absolutely love my Strathberry East-West in Desert as neutrals are my favourite. However I find myself reluctant to try and use it as an every day bag? Anyone else use it as an every day casual bag? I love the elegance of the bag and using it casually rather than a date night bag is really appealing. I just can’t help but tell myself “i can’t put a sweater in it if need be” .

Small bag lovers! Mini bag lovers teach me your ways!!


They launched their new spring collection which is ALL neutrals and burgundy and I’m not quite certain they didn’t produce it specifically for me with how much I’m dying for it.

Please help me choose my Christmas present and next bag.
I am looking for a bag to carry as more of a work bag or everyday bag as I have a lot of small bags for going out.
Listing current bags and bags most used:
Neverfull mm mono (most used)
Pochette accessories mono (most used)
Felicie pochette (most used)
Neverfull mm azur (used in summer)
Ysl medium envelope (not used often)
Speedy B 25 mono (never used)
SpeedyB 25 DE(used handful of times)
Alma BB DE (used sparingly)
Gucci Dionysus woc (haven’t used in a while)
Favorite mm DE (wish they brought it back as it literally is my favorite)

Side note: I have had a Neverfull mm in DE with RB interior and it was defective so I exchanged and got a Neverfull mm mono but sometimes miss my DE!
I live in a city so people stealing your bags is sometimes a problem. But you do see designer bags here and there still.
Also this is not saying Christmas is for presents in anyway. I am actually selling a bag to supplement this purchase and treat myself from a very hard year. This is strictly for fun and for others to get gift ideas for themselves or others!

Cartier watch photo comparisons: Panthere and Tanks

Was just reading around the forum and noticed people liked to ask about how certain sizes of some Cartier watches appeared on. (I tried these on last month and will do my best to provide info from memory.)

My smallest wrist circumference is 14.5cm
I wear a size 16 classic love bracelet.
