Here is a thread to talk about kpop idols, Asian celebrities, and their luxury/brand endorsements. I feel like some endorsements are a good match and some are not. Blackpink really match their endorsements, and Jang Wonyoung matches Miu Miu very well, but Aespa has been seen with Givenchy endorsements and it looks really boring or stuffy to me. I heard LVMH invests in YG Entertainment.

BLACKPINK:
Jennie - Chanel
Lisa - CELINE
Jisoo - DIOR
Rose - Saint Laurent

IVE:
Jang Wonyoung - Miu Miu

Jeon Somi - Prada

LE SSERAFIM - CELINE

I just got this 2.55 from Fashionphile. I thought 2.55s were supposed to have that crease at the bottom from being folded? I could send in to an authenticator but wanted to ask here just in case it is so obviously a fake.

Thanks!

I have a mini in Atlantic Blue that I LOVE. It's a great travel bag, and I used it all Summer. I want to get a 2nd one. I think it needs to be something that I can use for a lot of different occasions/outfits. I do have small Puzzles in Navy/black , Tri color blue, and Sand. My main black bag is a Saint Laurent Lulu in black with gold hardware. Unless there is another color you would suggest, here are the contenders:

Dark Blush:




Black:


Warm Desert:

I haven't seen a lot of buzz around this collection, but it dropped this morning. There are some really cute holiday-theme things, but some items look like they're repeats of previous releases (like the signature print Snoopy bag charm).
I love the print on this bag; I wish they had made a scarf.

Hi! Somebody is selling this bag and I am considering buyinv to be used as my school bag. I have nothing in my closet that can fit a laptop nor books. Can anyone comment about this bag? Is it heavy? Is it easy to use? Thank you!

I was looking at a Dauphine Compact Wallet or maybe even a reverse monogram Slim Purse.

What are you using?

Just curious what the Goyard SAs say are the most sought after colors in the St. Louis totes. How would you rank them?

My SA sent me an invitation for the CHANEL showcase for Cruise 2023 Collection Preview at the Faena Forum in Miami on Saturday November 5th! She said I can bring one guest. This is really exciting but unfortunately I’ll be busy getting ready for my Europe trip a week after this so I won’t be able to go. However, I just came across an article about Chanel returns to the Magic City Miami for the first time in 14 years! I’ve never been to something like this before and now I really really wanted to go lol. Have you guys ever been to any shows like this or got invited to this show too?

Going in a few weeks. Would love to know if anyone has any recs out there - don't care about the luxury flagships (we have them here in NYC). Department stores (saw there is a Takashimaya!), indie boutiques, local/Asian designers boutiques, vintage/consignment shops. Thanks in advance!

I am interested in getting a recto verso and can’t decide which print in canvas to get. I was initially thinking monogram, but didn’t realize it came in other prints since the last time I looked at this wallet. Now I’m kind of interested in the monogram reverse or the damier ebene, yet still like the monogram too. I do wish that the monogram reverse had the smaller print on the flap though as I like how it lines up on the monogram. For the damier, I think the pink on the back is pretty.

Which would you get? Also how has the canvas held up?

Yeah, OK, maybe if you're in it, you can't talk about it.

Received an invite, but not sure if I want to accept.

Opinions? Thoughts? Comments?

Hello, I did a search but I don't think I saw a thread specifically talking about this topic (if not, my apologies, please move or delete this thread.)

This thought came up after I went to Moynat and was told by my SA and the store that California was going to ban the sale of exotics at the end of this year.

Original posts in the Moynat thread below:

Was out with a friend but stopped by Moynat.
My SA said that California will be banning the sale of exotic leathers by the end of this year.

These 2 beauties are in South Coast Plaza if anyone is interested.

Hmmm, that's a good question. Honestly, I don't know.
I suppose if we were to just look at it in the most basic and straightforward way possible: selling is selling. whether it's re-selling or selling new or used, at the end of the day, something is being sold. So, technically, that may be a no. For selling exotics within in the state of California, but there is the possibility of selling out of state?

I was doing a bit of research on it yesterday and I haven't found a clear answer.

Apparently the state of California has been going back and forth on the shipments and selling of exotics for quite some time, from 2019-2020. And one site said it was supposed to start in January 01, 2022.
https://www.animallaw.info/statute/...er-and-miscellaneous-offenses-653o-653r#s653p
But then it doesn't seem to be well enforced...Maybe they're just starting to enforce it now?

Anyway, I tried to do some research on specifically when this ban was taking place in California and what was technically allowed vs not allowed. The results were mixed and not particularly clear.
This is the best website I could find: https://www.animallaw.info/statute/...er-and-miscellaneous-offenses-653o-653r#s653p

So, the purpose of this thread:
Anyone have any info from their own experience, research, info from SA's etc. on the sales (and reselling) of exotics in California and what the luxury stores are going to do with what they currently?
I recall someone on the Moynat thread asked about reselling one's exotics and a general consensus was that it was most likely going to be illegal too, but please correct if otherwise.
If your state already bans the sale of exotics, what is it like? Is it actually enforced?
Any other info or updates on the ban and enforcement of this ban in California is appreciated!

Thank you!

Edit: I am aware that there are various personal opinions on the ethics and morality of exotics and the process of obtaining exotic skins and leathers. This thread is not for that kind of discussion, thank you.

Calling all VCA earring lovers. I have a pair of VA pave earrings in rose gold, and now thinking to add a pair of VA Guilloche earrings in YG, do you think that’s repetitive? I’m not a firm minimalist, but trying to have a collection that I can mix and match for different occasions, and I normally coordinate my earrings and necklace. Here are my current VCA earrings collection:
VA onxy YG earrings with matching pendant
VA carnelian YG earrings
VA pave RG earrings normally pairing with Magic Gmop pendant in RG
Small frivole YG earrings
Perlee clover YG earrings with matching pendant
Perlee couleurs malachite earrings with matching pendant

I’m also planning to get the small pave frivole earrings, debating on YG or WG.

Do you think I need a pair of VA Guilloche earrings in YG in my collection? If I do add it, should I also add the matching pendant?

I’m normally very decisive on rings and bracelets, but always having difficulty on choose earrings cuz I just LOVE THEM All! Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated! Thank you all!

Hi! I ordered these dior earrings. However, I got two crystals instead of one pearl and one crystal. I kind of like the symmetry. I won't ever resell. Would you keep or exchange?

Guys, have a dilemma here. On the market for a clash bracelet and I’m torn between the medium and small size. Right now I only own the juc rose gold bracelet with diamonds (regular size) - I know- go big or go home! - but I am looking for an everyday bracelet. Ideally one I can wear on its own and then can stack the juc with it on special occasions. I typically like chunky or more substantial jewelry, but have been gravitating towards delicate pieces lately. To sum it up; I have the regular juc with diamonds ring, pave juc with diamonds ring (delicate), medium clash ring, and a Bvlgari thin diamond and MOP ring, coco crush ring. Most of my pieces are chunky.

The medium clash bracelet is substantial alone, but I feel can at at times overwhelm the juc. The thin is more feminine. Thoughts on which should be my next bracelet? Or, owners who own the bracelet - any insight?

I saw these bags on IG and the SA wrote the heart bags are “back.” To my knowledge the previous release was outlet-only, did they have these retail heart bags before?

What are your thoughts? I have never paid full retail for coach, but these are tempting! I like that the top strap is gone from this version.

I really like the 'What's your H number' thread and it got me thinking about variety of different H bags and which do you lean towards

I have 8 different types and sizes (different sizes of same bag and styles are separated as I think the functionality of for example a K20 sellier is very different to a K28 retourne)

In order of how many I have of each:

Kelly 25 sellier (most used)
Birkin 25
Kelly 20 (most loved)
Birkin 30
Birkin 35
Birkin 25 sellier
Constance 24
Kelly 28 retourne (least loved)

Wondering if I need to branch out to other models but I just don't love any *that* much at this point. I wouldn't buy any more B30, B35, Kelly retourne in any size. I don't *love* the constance that much but I do think a C18 would be cute.

Hi!

I have two clic H bracelets that were originally bought as rose gold. Got them both last year. Picked up a new rg clic bracelet (leopard design, which I LOVE), and I noticed that my two older ones are gold, in comparison. Compared those two bracelets to my gold kelly belt, and they definitely match the gold finish of my kelly belt.

Is there anything Hermes can do to restore the rose gold, or should I just try a jeweler? Thank you!

Looking to purchase a new bag but unsure which one. I loooooved the loop hobo online but didn't love it in person. I’m debating between the Montaigne BB, on the go mm, or the petit palais in the black empreinte leather. If you have one of these bags, can you tell me the pros and cons? I own mostly smaller size bags but am open to suggestions.

Hi! Does Dooney & Bourke has an online outlet? Thank you!

Hi all,
I have been going back and forth battling with myself (and my bank balance!) for the last 4 or 5 Summer seasons over buying a pair of the RS gladiator thong sandals in either Poudre or more recently the Cornflower Blue, and am now closer than ever to hitting that ATC button. We're just now going into Summer downunder and I know that as long as they are as comfortable as most of my other RS sandals I'll wear the heck out of them for a very long time and get to work on that cost-per-wear figure immediately.

My question for anyone who has these is, how were they out of the box as far as breaking in goes, if they needed it at all? And do you still love them as much as ever after having them for any length of time?
Many thanks, in advance for any responses!

i recently went on a nano luggage hunt because the bag is supposedly being discontinued. Met this amazing sa in Hawaii she is absolutely wonderful went above and beyond AND it was cheaper also no tax since I'm in maryland

I just need everyone to see this bag. An adorable, quilted heart bag?

Help! I am looking for recommendations for cute light blue and light grey handbags. The same shade as Chanel pastel grey and blue bags please. Bonus points for quilted and puffy designs!
