Kate Black Tassel Medium vs. Small

I’m getting ready to purchase my 2nd YSL bag. My first is a small beige and I wanted a Neutral color the first time. It’s a chevron embossed.

i would now like the Kate with the Gold and Tassel. I went to Saks yesterday and they only had the small (I’ve seen and tried on the medium but it’s been awhile ago.). I only plan on carrying this to go out at night. I love the look of the small, but it has been a bit of a pain with my other. The medium seems to hold my stuff much better, but I just found out the strap is shorter. I like the overall look of the smaller better on my shoulder, plus The YSL seems so much more prominent. But I keep feeling I’ll have regrets everytime I’m trying to put stuff in it. Then i think I’d have regrets carrying the medium feeling like it’s too big and doesn’t hang far enough down the side, or odd as a crossbody. Too bad they can’t make one inbetween!

i guess I’m looking for opinions of those who have the bags, were in the same indecisive stage and how you decided to finally go with the one you purchased.

Chanel 19 vs Lady Dior

Hello everyone !
I'm thinkin' about my new purchase but I'm really torn between two bags.

-Chanel 19 small size. I love the look of the bag, love that it's puffy, and love that can be worn casual or classic.

-Lady Dior small (or abc). I'm in love, I just send back a bright pink limited edition I bought on a secondhand shop because they said the bag was "new from boutique". Oh yes. With black color transfer on the back, wear on the corners and a big scratch in a part of the metal.

I was so sad because I was so so so in love with the colour! If I have to buy a LD it would be in a pastel or bright colour.
For the 19 I would go with probably every colour (maybe just not the black because I already have a CF black with ghw).

What do you think about both bags? One shows more wear and tear than the orther?

Cobble Bag

The Cobble shoulder bag has caught my eye. It seems to be made with a double thickness intrecciato and is a little more structured. I don’t usually go for unlined bags but this might be an exception. Does anyone have this bag and can comment on how structured it really is and does it relax with use and soften or does it keep it’s shape? Is it very heavy?

Stacking love bracelet and watch

Apologies for reposting a topic which has been posted before, however, many of the original buffer suggestions are no longer available and/or not available anymore in my wrist size.

My boyfriend gave me a classic love bracelet during the pandemic which I have been wearing every day since. As I think about having to go back into an office, I’m trying to figure out how I can wear a watch on the same wrist without damaging both the bracelet and my watch collection.

Most of my watches are steel and higher on the Mohs scale, however, I had previously layered with another 18k gold item and they scratched each other. So even if I buy an 18k watch I have little faith I can wear both without damage.

Does anyone have any updated buffer suggestions? If it matters my wrist size is 14.5cm. So my watch will likely be closer to 15cm around while my love is a size 16. Thank you so much for your help!

What do you use to store jewelry when traveling?

I looked around for a related thread but only saw an old one about hard cases. I'm looking for a soft pouch to carry my daily jewelry in when I travel - primarily bracelets, but I would put rings and earrings in too when they're not being worn. I was thinking something padded with separate pockets would be ideal. I usually travel with a couple bangles (JuC, CDC) which set off airport security (even though they aren't supposed to!) and maybe 2 rings, plus my e-ring and my right hand ring (I don't take those off except at night).

Anyone have a travel case for jewelry of any kind that you love? :flowers:

Petite Ladies, Where Do You Wear Your Jumbo?

Hi ladies,

I have been on the fence about selling my Jumbo, as I have not really used it much. I’m on the smaller side (5’4, 118 lbs) so I feel like the jumbo is too big for me. It’s too big for an evening/night out bag and it’s not something I would take to work (I work from home anyway).

For fellow petite ladies who have a Jumbo, where do you wear your Jumbo?

Silk/satin slip dress recommendations

Aloha, looking for a silk/satin slip dress for evenings that accommodates a bra or, at least, works for busty folks. I keep seeing super slinky dresses (Nili Lotan just released the attached) that will only work on those blessed with a flatter chest. I LOVE this look....does anyone here who's a bit bustier (I'm 32D) have a slip dress/cami dress that has worked for them? Thanks so much!!!!!

Lady Dior Cannage Wear and Tear

Hello, I want to buy a lady Dior pochette in the classic cannage leather (black lambskin) but I am wondering how delicate it would be. What happens if some rain drops fall on this leather? I wouldn’t bring it under the rain on purpose but things happen and I wonder whether it stains like LV vachetta.

Are you aware of any other things that could damage this leather? Is it very prone to scratches?

Your most used bag in a countryside

Morning Ladies,
I can get one last bag before we move to a countryside next year and wanted to get Capucines as it is my number 1 bag at the moment but I am thinking if I would have enough use of the bag :angel: i am not tote bag person and have 2 tote bags (DKNY and Coach) and this is my handbag collection. Would you add Capucines or go for some other style? For those of you who live in a countryside, what is your most used designers bag?
