LV Garden, Pochette Coussin & Card Holder, in stock!

For a few seconds, the LV Garden Pochette Coussin was available! Was able to snag it and the card holder from the same collection!

This was after seeing the MM version at the store yesterday (white). Wished it came in BB from this collection.

Does anyone have the Pochette Coussin? I think the pattern is lovely.

Fingers crossed it doesn’t get cancelled.

Edit: spelling!

First pair - suggestions!

Hi all!

I’m new to this forum as I’ve been researching CLs and I’m looking to buy my first pair! Sadly, the closest store that sells CL is 5+ hours away so I’ll have to order online. I think I’ve narrowed it down to nude patent for the color, 100mm for the heel height. I’m thinking Iriza? Pigalle Follies?

I would mostly wear them for nights out or more dressy events, they wouldn’t be appropriate for my work.

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Smell on vintage bags

I recently bought a couple of vintage bags. They are both very old (at least 40 years old) and they smell a little bit. Maybe it's cigarette smell, or just the smell of being in some grandmother's closet for years not being used...

What can I do to solve this problem?

I already tried vinegar (i read it online) and perfume, but it didn't change much.

How can i fix this problem, is there a way to do it?

Thank you.

What company do you wish made handbags ?

What company do you wish made handbags , what do you imagine they would be like & why?
I wish Costco did- I imagine them being very tough (maybe goretex or similar all weather) and long lasting but not overly expensive.
On the other end of the spectrum, I wish Graff did- I’m imagining super elegant, exotic skins, well made, under the radar with excellent customer support.

LV Keepall 40 Aisle Seat fit

Boeing A319 sitting in seat C on the aisle.

After trying to shoehorn my size 50 as a personal item, I have downsized to a 40 which fits nicely on this plane. It was a little snug on my last flight which was a 737-800. I had to orient it north-south. It exceed the space a little, but the flight attendants didn’t complain.

Friend's mom passed away and left behind a Birkin, what to do?

My friend's mom passed away, and when clearing out her stuff he found a Birkin that was (very unfortunately) crushed underneath some boxes. He has no idea if this is real or fake, and asked me for advice...however, I've always been mostly a Chanel gal so I am a total newbie to H.

We are based in NYC, so I was wondering if you all had any tips on authenticating, selling, and how much you think a Birkin with structural damage is worth (if it is real). It did not come with any box, dust bag, or receipt. I suggested maybe he should make an appointment at Fashionphile to get it evaluated and maybe get an offer. And if it is real, should he maybe also consider getting the structure repaired (could this be done at an H store? Or leather surgeons?). Hermes experts: let me know what you guys think would be the best course of action. Thanks, just trying to help a friend out!

I preordered the Xmas Animation and received it few days ago, however I am on the fence as I sold off pretty much most of my LV as I am curating my collection according to my lifestyle, currently I only have 1 speedy 20 in my collection and 1 xmas collection mini pochette from 2019. (the ski bear design) but i do not have any wallet at all. :hrmm:

I'm thinking of returning these 2 items to exchange for an Epi Alma BB in Black as I always wanted 1. Can any one give some suggestions? I asked my SA, she said if I released my xmas animations it will be hard to buy them again as its already or almost sold out for most of the designs. I hope you all bag lovers can give me some help here :smile:

Best pieces to buy for resale

I have a store credit with $240 on it that I’ve had for two years. I haven’t used it because all of my purchases have been made overseas or online and I can’t use the gift card online. I purchased 4 new pieces this year so I won’t be needing any new pieces for a while.

I was thinking before the rumored price increase comes, I should use the gift card to make a purchase and then sell that item because it will be harder to sell the gift card. I don’t want to end up losing money though. It doesn’t seem like the lower price items sell very well in resale. Are there any items you can recommend that would be good to purchase and get the cash back?

amazing pieces from luxury brands that isn't obviously branded

Hi all :)
So I was wondering whether you have a suggestions about pieces from luxury brands like Tiffany, Cartier, VCA etc. that are not obviously from these brands.

For example, a love bangle is very well known and ppl will immediately notice that they are from Cartier, even non-jewelry fanatics. Or the Alhambra collection obviously screams "VCA" and everyone recognizes a Rolex.

Personally, I am a huge jewelry lover and absolutely enjoy pieces from luxury brands mentioned above. However where I live, ppl are very understated and one rarely sees someone wearing something obviously branded. Moreover, most of my "outdoor activities" consists of going to work, where I'd like to be understated (like not wearing anything obviously branded).

For everyday I usually wear the following items:
- Cartier small trinity hoops
- Tiffany DBTY or Tiffany Smile necklace

For nicer events like going out for dinner of attending a wedding I'd wear the more "obviously branded" items like JUC ring, T1 ring, Cartier DLDC bracelet etc.

However I'd like to extend my "everyday wear" collection that is usable for going to work.
I was thinking of getting the Tiffany hardwear ball earstuds and/or tiffany diamond studs. Any other recommendations?

p.s. I don't consider non-branded jewelry items and wearing "obviously branded" item is not an option (personal preference)

Thanks in advance!

Orange Box only intended for handbags?

today I was at Hermes Zürich. Waited for 40 minutes outside only to get the Information that they have no bags. During waiting I saw some people walking out with an orange box. When I asked the SA if those are Handbags which are reserved before. She replied " this is not likely to be the norm, we have no bag..." I found it weird. Isn`t it so that those big orange square box are intended only for Handbags?

Black Rogue 25 vs Black Ruby 25 - Which one do you recommend?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering which is a better bag out of the Black Leather Rogue 25 and the Black Leather Ruby 25 Satchel? I am just feeling that having both is unnecessary and I would rather put the mother towards another bag. Would love to hear your thoughts? Also, for those who own both, do you get enough use out of both and are different enough to own both?

Thank you in advance!

Practical Designer Bag Suggestions

Anyone have bag suggestions for an everyday bag that is small but holds a lot and is lightweight? Was considering the Loewe Puzzle bag in Small.
I currently own the Louis Vuitton NeoNoe but it does not hold a lot and I find it can get heavy. I also have an LV Neverfull but thats too big and the tote style can be awkward to carry sometimes - I like a crossbody bag. And then I have the YSL Mini Lou which does not hold anything but my wallet and phone.

Show us your layered VCA necklaces!

Hi all!

We have a thread on bracelets stacking possibilities. Have not seen one on layering necklaces so thought it would be great to see everyone's combi.
:love:

I will start with mine.
Also added some beautiful pairings from our lovely TPFers here. Hope this is ok. These combis are so gorgeous and give me lots of inspiration!

Show Us Your Bag Strap Replacements

I usually don't like the straps that came with my bags. These straps are either too long, flimsy or they look like they're an after-thought for the bags. Unless you can't take it off (built-in straps) I usually take the strap off and use other straps that I have in my collection.
I have many but these are the two that I use the most, like 99% of the time. For sizing, I'm 160cm short and 50kg. My straps length range is between 95cm to 100cm which I still can use for cross-body.
1. Michael Kors strap made of snake skin leather in Bordeaux color that I use on my red bags and warm-toned colored bags.
2. MCM strap also made of snake skin in blue which I use on my bags that are in dark colors but cool toned.
Show Us yours for our inspiration, please!

  • One WG Half Pave Lock Bangle is Enough!

    Votes: 6 46.2%

I've been giving serious thought to Tiffany's Half Pave WG Lock Bangle. The androgynous vibe of the Lock Collection makes it both modern and timeless. The challenge is how to put it together.

Would you buy two of them and add the Tiffany T Diamond Hinged Bangle in the middle? My SA suggested a diamond line bracelet to wear between two Half Pave WG Bangles. Yeah, of course she did. Another option would be to add a second Half Pave Lock Bangle in a contrasting color, YG or RG and call it a day at two Lock Bangles. Of course, I have to imagine these combinations because only one of the WG Half Pave Bangles was available at my local Boutique. The other options are available and my SA has reached out for them to be sent to the local boutique.

Below are photos of all the bangles that could be in my Tiffany stack.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
