It is not from JellyCat, and not from Hermes. It's a parody that is oh so adorable. 😍
I'm checking the price on multiple sites and it ranges from $299.00 USD to $450.00 USD. It initially seems cheaper on Chinese sites but with the delivery and taxes added up, it still ends up around that price range. Maybe I'll need to make a phone call to a friend in China for her to bring me back one. (It's less than $100 USD retail in China!)

Here are two YT videos featuring this bag:

Prices aside, would you buy this JellyCat Firkin bag?

Edit: Changing the name to FURkin, cus it just makes more sense. Thanks @Deco

Cartier JUC white gold vs rose gold!!!

Hey besties!
I’m torn between the white gold and rose gold JUC bracelet, so please help me decide!

I already have a thin Love and a small Clash, both in rose gold, and now I’m looking to add a small JUC to my Cartier collection. The dilemma is: which metal?

White gold has been trending lately, it’s so elegant and understated. My skin tone is about 70% True Summer (cool) and 30% Light Spring (light warm), so I can pull off both white and rose gold, as long as the finish isn’t too flashy or harsh.

But I’m unsure… if I go with the white gold, will it mix well with my existing rose gold pieces? And does white gold actually suit me better than rose gold? I’m feeling so indecisive. Would your thoughts!

New aventure kappa leather bag - seam on shoulder strap peeling???

Does anyone have this bag and does your strap look like this? We bought this for my daughter on May 30 in Rome Miumiu store and now this seam appears to be coming apart. It has only been used for less than 2 months. I called and only option is for us to ship to New York store to have evaluated (by the way we have to pay shipping). Very frustrated.

Should I sell my Chanel bags for a patek watch?

Hey guys,

So I’m on the list for a patek watch - the watch I’m on the list for is a patek 7118/1200R-010. The watch is around 78k usd. I have three Chanel bags in my collection.

1. black double Chanel flap bag in medium in with golden hardware
2. Beige double Chanel flap bag in medium in with golden hardware also caviar
3. Chanel nano bag small in black.

What do you guys think, should I sell the bags for the patek watch?

Chanel waist bag 2025 question

Hello everyone
I just got this waist bag, however I don’t see anyone talking about it. I was going to get another 25 ( already have the black) and saw this and fell in love. Got home and don’t know how I feel about it now, I usually love bumbags, but this one is quite small and for over 4k should I get something else instead ? Like another 25? I saw the heart bag but I don’t think it’s me. I always wanted a bumbag from Chanel. I don’t know what to do. If anyone has it, are you happy about it?

New Orleans

I’m heading to New Orleans in October and I plan to do some shopping. I was wondering about the Chanel in Saks, about there in stock, particularly costume jewelry and brooches. Good experiences? I also plan to go to Louis Vuitton. I’ll be in town for to see Paul McCartney in concert. Any shopping advice is welcome, it’s my first trip without my husband, since I’ve lost him.

Nudge-selling?

Hi everyone! I’m curious if others have noticed this pattern:

Have you experienced your SA nudging you toward high value items (e.g. FJ, watches) right before the peak qb offering windows? Or a few weeks before your qb offers? Not necessarily a hard upsell, but more like a check-in with something expensive….

Even if you eventually got a quota bag later, did you feel these nudges were part of the “pre-offer” rhythm? Or were they unrelated?

Would love to hear if others saw similar pacing from their SAs!

Finally! Sweet Alhambra necklace is here ❤️

Hi Ladies and Gents, thank you for sharing this moment with me. It took awhile to decide because I also love the 10 motif YG/MOP(such a classic combination) and the WG/pave pendant but as soon as I held this piece I knew in my heart I cant pass it up.

Shout out to my SA for knowing what I like and messaging my husband at the same time :loveeyes:

To those who shared your thoughts in my previous post I thank you all.

After a difficult 2024 for my family, my hope is to find healing in the coming year. Sharing my passion for jewelry with you all, who understand this love, is incredibly meaningful and helps me find such peace.

Thank you for reading, long necklaces are really versatile, the ways you can wear them is amazing! I might be in my longer necklace phase :yes:

…. A few photos in the end for eye candy as well as a few hints of my next wishlist :lol:

James Avery Charm Event 2025

I bought my first James Avery charm bracelet last November 2024 and soon after I found out that they hold an annual charm event every summer. The place I went to in November was so-so and though I was happy with my bracelet, the charms weren’t placed right. So I decided to wait it out and today I went to my local Dillard’s and had a great experience! They even moved my one charm on my older bracelet to where I wanted it which was super nice of them to do!
Is anyone else going to participate in the charm event? It goes on until August 4 in the US.

Coco Crush Necklace or Extrait de Camelia Necklace?

Which one should I get?

  • Coco crush

  • Extrait de Camelia

    Votes: 4 80.0%

I'm getting a gift and have the option to choose any piece of jewelry within this price range. I'm deciding between these two from Chanel.

A part of me was also considering the Bee de Chaumet small model pendant but it's higher in the price range, so I'm not sure if I could request that one as a gift.

Which one do you think it best? I would use it for everyday wear!

H Bag Hierarchy- Ranking all your current H bags from Holy Grail to least favorite.

I sometimes do this on paper when I'm bored at work. The order changes for me, but only ever so slightly. I thought it would be fun for us to write a list of all our H bags, from our very favorite, to the least favorite. (Favorite doesn't necessarily mean most used, BTW) Let's let our hearts decide for this thread. Have fun!:heart::amuse:
