Tory Burch Any Tory Burch Lee Radziwill Fans Out There?

What do you all think of this new release from Tory Burch? Tory Burch is a brand I have come to really love after I discovered her Lee Radziwill line. It's a bit pricey but I have pulled the trigger on a few Lee's already that I just had to have. No regrets only on my petite Double as I never reach for it and may sell. Im loving the dark burgundy wrinkled patent with dark purple suede contrast. Please share your opinion. I would love to hear them. :) yay or nay?

Between the DE Clapton backpack in Scarlet color (I believe this color combination only released in Asia) and the DE Croisette, which one do you think looks better and more practical?

I like to use it as an everyday bag.

I currently own couple Chanel Classic Flaps that I use for evenings and dressy occasions.
I have these LV bags that I use everyday as well.
- Empreinte Noir MPA
- Empreinte Scarlet Felicie
- Monogram Pochette Métis
- Monogram Noir Odeon MM
- Damier Ebene Speedy B25

Thank you.

Onthego MM size or another GM?

Went to LV yesterday to see the new Cognac ONTHEGO GM. I also saw the ONTHEGO MM in Arizona Beige. Both are stunning and I am obsessed with the colors.

I have the Monogram GM already but there are times that I want to be more discreet with my bag. I travel for work so the GM most definitely gets used.

When at home I wear smaller bags, so I am wondering for those of you who have the MM…does you use it often or does it feel too big for everyday?

I’m choosing between monogram petit Palais or the speedy b 25 in damier ebene. This would be an everyday bag. Dress is usually pretty casual. Any pros or cons would be helpful As well!

Thanks!

Princetown mule sizing and stretch?

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times but I couldn’t find anything about if the mules will stretch on the top of your foot part?

I got the last mud colour in stock in a 39 and there are no 39.5 available.

I have a ton of room in the toe area but it is snug height wise (on the top of my foot), anyone have any luck with that stretching? Should I buy a shoe stretcher? If anyone had any experience please let me know. If I send them back I probably won’t be able to get this colour and it’s what I had my heart set on. But at the same time if they won’t stretch I’m better off to return while I still can.

Hi,

Last week I opened the bag and noticed that the magnetic button has come off from the pin (of the YSL logo).
Luckily it was with another end of the magnetic button.

I managed to tighten it back. As you can see from the photo, it is a bit in the wrong place now.
I would like to have your opinion if I should send it for repair or just keep it as it is.

YSL told me that the whole repair process is 3 months.:cool: However, the repair should be under warranty, as it is less than 2 years old.

Anyone has an experience with Repair? Will it be worth it?

Thank you!

Which non-classic styles can make a comeback this Fall/Winter 23?

So designers are pretty much over the pandemic and it looks like styles are changing: less sneakers and more heels.
Neiman has received the new fall collection, and apparently platforms are back in style, with all designers including Louboutin having multiple offerings.

It made me curious - do you have any shoes that maybe did not get a lot of mileage, that you can pull out from the top shelf, that will be in style this season?
Obviously I am not talking about classics that work all the time - rather those special shoes you bought, that can again see the light of day or the dark of night.

These are a crop from the latest trends this year:

Pull them out and post pics!
Let's make a comeback.

SS23 Twinsburg Fashion Show

Login to view embedded media
Starts around -18 unless you like studying a queue of celebs watching themselves as they want to be seen later.

I'm just wondering if Alessandro Michele isn't perhaps stuck in a Gucci parallel universe at this point in time (or next year) :cray: .

Interesting reflection and comment on our real/virtual selves. Maybe Papertiger is now the real ME? :nuts:


My trend breakdown:

Usual gender-bends - getting tired now

Adults dressing-up box - getting old now

Full bourgeoise dressing with a 'made-you look' twist.

I see the original Gucci Saddle bag is back (where Dior stole theirs from). Yippeee for the olive green - it better not be lined in microfibre

Autumn colours for Summer

Done up on top/undone below


Tom Ford (homage to 1970s Halston/Peretti) mid-90s modernist G belt buckles / other TF for Gucci refs esp SS98

Madonna X Rosanna Arquette in Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)

SciFi Asian Princess (deliberately vague Cheongsam/Qipao ref)

Japanese schoolgirl/boy refs

David Lynch Twin Peaks and small town soaps

(Probably) some (very expensive) crystal embellished minaudières bears

Big tote shoppers

Small logos on bags

Statement fashion jewellery


Asymmetry as symmetry

Face furniture and the head/face as the style 'crown'

Garter trousers

Lace

Children's associated materials of beads and soft toys (interesting mix with sexual refs :wondering: )

Ewoks? I think they replicate? Anyone enlighten me on the film I've never seen (Gremlins?)


Any other trends or intros (or re-intros) you can spot?

What do you think, anything must have or maybe for you?

Chanel Boy Caviar

So I’m about to receive a Chanel maxi boy that I got for an amazing price, however I’m now worried about the caviar leather! From the pictures I thought it was caviar or soft caviar but the more I look at it the more I think it might be the suede caviar! As it has colour transfer/wear I’m worried the suede would make this impossible. What do you all think? Suede or regular caviar? Also do you think it’s salvageable with the colour wear? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
