Can someone help me authenticate this chanel boy?

Hi, I recently bought a chanel boy off a consignment online store for 3.9k. After receiving it, I noticed there is a scuff that wasn't visible in the listing picture and there is a hole on the inside lining so I am debating if I should return or keep it. Upon examining the bag, I do noticed that the inside chanel tag looks a little off, the leather looks too smooth to me and it seems like the boy bag the channel letter is imprinted deeper. Please let me know if it looks ok, or if it looks off. It would help me decide if i want to keep it or not and just to get the scuffs and the lining fix. Thank you! Please let me know if this is not allow and i will delete it! thank you!

LV Multi Color Speedy 30 (white)

Hi Everyone. I own a LV Multi Color Speedy 30 from 2004. I love all the golden brass hardware on the bag. I went to LV to find a bag charm for it (like it REALLY needs one! Lol) as I'm pretty "extra". Well LV has this chain charm (for $610 I believe) however I decided to save the money and just use my PM Coussin gold chain instead. Altho the bag really doesn't need anything else added to it with all the colors going on, I want to change it up a bit. I took pictures of the couusin chain on it and also with the LV chain charm (which is smaller) . I feel the chain charm flows better as it's not so large and bulky. What do you guys think? Leave the 30 alone or do you think the Couusin chain is ok, or is it a bit much? Do I go buy the chain charm if I am going to go for this look? Thank you! I look forward to your input!

Coach Customization! Show us your bag!

Just got home so excited about my ”new” old vintage city bag customization. It gives a whole new life to my bag! I had pretty bad staining near the top from usage on my bag carrying it and tried everything from cleaner, moisturizer, vinegar, alcohol, saddle soap and baking soda to try to clear it to no avail. Finally tried coach customization for the first time with my Coach Insider and am in love! I am going to call her Rosey! I don’t even notice the stain anymore! Thank you Kelly at Coach Yorkdale! You are so patient and awesome! Highly recommend any fellow Coachies to see her! It is so fun to style the bag with her!

Beretta Shoe and Leather cream: a miracle!

I was so furious when I came to India this time. The airport security in Delhi likes to put little stickers on all your carry on items including handbag. I didnt think anything about it at the time as the sticker was paper and looked like it would come right off. Well I was wrong. It stuck on my lambskin medium flap and when I pulled it off gently it still took some of the topmost layer of the leather with it! On the front on my bag there was now a dull spot where the sticker was! I was pi$$ed off to put it bluntly. And I did raise a complaint to the airport security.

Meanwhile I contemplated sending it to Chanel here to be fixed but thought Id try some leather polish first. I ordered this stuff from amazon india which is a black cream. It says shoe polish but on the side also says its for all leathers. I did a technique used for military boots.... rub some on wait for it to dry then buff in circles to bring the shine. I did about 5 layers and holy wow! I cant tell where the leather was removed now! This stuff works like a miracle! You can also use it all over the bag now and then to bring out the black and the shine plus it protects.

I really wish I had taken a before and after pic because the damage was bad (although in a small area) and now you literally cant tell at all! The cream built up the area that was missing the top layer and blended in perfectly when I buffed in circles. (Sideways didnt work for some reason it has to be in circular motion) I wish I could show you but I didnt take pics but thought Id still share the product. Its a miracle product!

Kelly To Go vs. Mini Kelly II

Hi all! I am looking for my next Hermès bag to be one versatile enough for both casual and formal occasions. I was hoping that someone who has the Kelly To Go and/or the Mini Kelly could give me some feedback on them - ease of use, what fits, day-to-night transition, etc.

I attend a lot of formal events (dinners, cocktail parties, balls) so I am leaning towards the Kelly To Go as it is more of a traditional clutch, but the Mini Kelly seems small and refined enough to be a clutch alternative. Does anyone know if there is a significant difference in how much each bag holds?

What product do you use to fix sticky glazing on LV speedy handles? See pic

Ok I will post a pic of my speedy 25. The glazing on handles has gotten dark and sticky and I’m wondering how to remove and reglaze? I’ve used fiebings edge kote dark brown to fix the dark brown glazing, but is there a specific product/tool to take of stickiness and reglaze because the glaze on inner handles looks clear? Thanks in advance
