Wallet ideas for LV Speedy - all brands

Hello, I’m in the market for a new long flap or zipper wallet and having a hard time deciding! Figured posting here for experts to weigh in would help :biggrin:. Yes, I’m using flattery.

Quick background: As far as designers go, I have an assortment of bags. Goyard, Saint Laurent, LV, Loewe, Fauré Le Page, Mulberry, Smythson, Longchamp, and several independent shops from travel. I’m currently using a long wallet from Fauré Le Page that has held up for many years, lots of card slots, etc. and has a little wear and tear. I just purchased a LV Speedy 30 B and think a new wallet is in order.

Thing is, I‘m not keen on just buying a Clemence or Zippy to match. Mulberry’s Darley looks lovely, and the SL Gaby large flap wallet is talking to me!

Any suggestions for a new long wallet with personality for an indecisive person like me? Thanks and please be kind!

Do I even bother with this Blondie?

I bought this Blondie preowned 8 years ago- I purchased it in fair condition. Like many of my bags, it has sat unused for the last few years.
With the rerelease of the Blondie, I pulled this bag out- Oh My God I didn’t realize how stained it was.
Sent in pics to Rago Bros- rough estimate $250-375. No idea what they will do.
Should I even bother with such an old bag?

Trifolio Shoulder Bag

Ok, this is one of the most beautiful bags I've ever seen. It's minimal but still has intrigue with the clasp and hardware. I have a lot of "popular" designer bags and trendy bags but I LOVE that Ferragamo is more under the radar, you know? I want them to be more popular but I also love that they aren't as ubiquitous.

Hi all, I'm new here.

I have a 1.30 CT I color VVS2 in the tiffany setting. My husband and I didn't have much when we first got married but he knew it's my dream to have a Tiffany setting as my engagement ring so he saved up for a long time to get me this ring and said that if I wanted a bigger stone down the road we can upgrade.

Now that we both have established careers and we are in a good place financially, he casually mentioned if I still wanted to go take a look at larger stones (I can't believe he didn't forget!!). Personally, I didn't even think much about upgrading much because I love my ring so much. Its a sentimental piece as this is what he picked out and proposed with. Also it reminds me of how far we've come as a couple.

I'm just wondering for those who upgraded their engagement ring with tiffany - how did you feel about returning the ring to them? Do you miss your old engagement ring at all?

Thank you.

Converse sneakers...is there an age limit?

Is there an age limit on converse sneakers where it starts to look too juvenile? I am 40, and I like converse sneakers. I have a pair of black low top, white low top, and pink high top sneakers. I am thinking of either getting these peanuts woodstock high top sneakers or this tye-die pair of high top sneakers. I just do not know if they are too juvenile.

Obviously dystopian/war-torn vibes, post-punk/neo-goth travels through Armageddon, elitist, escapist fantasy it is not.


Some nice dresses and one made from Moto bags as a finale

Should I sell my wallet on chain?

I purchased it this past May and I feel like the drop is too long and I won’t really get much use out of it. It’s been about five months and I have only used it once.

However I am purchasing a classic leather flap in the small or medium size which I feel will suit me a lot more and look better.

Has anyone been successful selling theirs and did you earn more then you paid for it? Especially if it’s about brand new (used only once)?

Diorever Handles :-(

Dear fellow Dior lovers,
I recently purchased a Diorever from Farfetch in a near excellent condition. I am doctor and have used the bag only a few times for work. I noticed some "cracking" on the base of the handles where they attach to the bag. I know the quality of the pictures is not ideal, but I hope you get an idea of the problem. I was wondering if that is "normal" to happen and if you would recommend bringing the bag in for a repair. Technically, it's not visible from outside, so it doesn't really bother me, but I am worried it could damage the handles. I would really appreciate any help and advice. Thank you in advance!IMG-5842.jpgIMG-5843.jpg

October handbags

October is breast cancer awareness month and lots of handbag lovers often use October to
support the message by wearing their pink handbags. I was reminded of this by a new
Brahmin ad I got highlighting a new light pink handbag and designating a portion of the
sales price being contributed to breast cancer organizations.

So, I'll start by moving into my Fushcia Pink Florentine Hattie Drawstring.
Anyone else?

Tod’s Kate Shoe advice

Hi! I went to the Tod’s store and found this lovely pair of Tod’s Kate loafers. I tried them on in the evening which is the best time to try on shoes. With size 38, it was just right while with dize 38.5, my right shoe is a bit too loose. Since they are flats and have heel spurs to concern with, i plan to buy heel cushion as seen below. With these cushions, do you think i should buy the 38 or 38.5? Thank you!

Returning item purchased in France in USA

Has anyone purchase a YSL item in France/Europe and returned it in the US?

My sister purchased a Medium Beige Envelope in GH for me and while I'm sure it's a fabulous bag, I am now nervous it will not work out: too structured? color transfer? holds less than desired?
They did not have the medium college or sunset satchel options I originally wanted in stock! HOW? Paris? How?! IDK..that was a wild ride. I obviously saved hundreds with the item purchased n Paris, so I'm wondering if I'd be able to make a simple exchange since they're all about the same cost? Or would I be stuck paying the difference for a different beige bag w/ GH?

My small black loulou SH is searching for a sister LOL!

Secondhand Magic Vendome Raspberry Sevres

I am a rather new VCA collector (only have 4 pieces to date). I have never purchased a secondhand piece and would prefer not to as I worry about counterfeit pieces. I came across a fellow that has a Magic Vendome Raspberry Sevres that I love and obviously cannot purchase from VCA as it was special edition for Paris only. He has produced a service receipt with corresponding serials #s but does not have the COA. He is offering a 30 day return policy but I know it cannot be authenticated within 30 days from VCA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,

These are the 3 watches I'm contemplating in the exact specs, but the only one available currently is the Day Date. I have until the end of this coming week to decide on the day date.




I really like mother of pearl more, but not sure if the day date can have the dial switched out for the mother of pearl dial later down the line. Has anyone switched dials before and is it still an option?

Thanks in advance for everyone's input!
