Small Motty Grey Chloe Kiss Reveal

I was curious this bag at launch, but it wasn’t available anywhere near me. And there isn’t a lot of chatter online so I thought I’d post.

I went to the outlet this weekend and to my surprise, it was available! And I loved it. This is my first Chloe bag.

The small size is very spacious. It is light. And holds plenty. My kindle even fit with the stuff pictured. As well as my keys and phone.

It is a shame it has been discontinued. I think it is a great minimal take on boho.

It is less obvious, but the strap is removable via a clip.

The Kiss hardware shape is so nicely formed and fits very comfortably in your hand. I was surprised it is hollow - and that is what keeps it light.

I debuted it last night and it worked well for my evening out.

The crossbody strap length is decent on me. I wouldn’t mind another inch - but I am very busty and size US18. So I can always use some more space. I love a longer crossbody for that reason. It hits me at the hip.

Dior dway slides lettering fade

Hi everyone,

I bought a pair of the blue dway slides last year and just from wearing it this summer I have noticed that the gold lettering inside is fading away. Has anyone experienced this? Will a shoe repair shop redo lettering ? I have asked a local duo boutique and they said that they don’t do re lettering or cleaning of the slides. I’m bummed out because these were my first pair of designer slides and they are wearing out way too fast.

Mini Dior Book Tote Phone Bag

Hi all!

Having bought the Dior book tote in medium a few months back I've really loved using this bag. From the gorgeous embroidery and stitching to the practical size (especially for travel) I've used it fairly frequently. Now I'm looking to get something in mini - I almost pulled the trigger on the mini Dior book tote (below left) until I saw the Mini Dior Book Tote Phone Bag in hazel (see pic below right). I love the hazel colour in the toile de jouy :heart: Since I've always used mini bags more as a day to day I know I'd use either bag daily. My question is has anyone already bought the mini phone tote? I'd love to know your thoughts on this style, as I haven't been able to find many reviews on it compared to the mini book tote. Thank you!

Chanel flap wear question

I have been wanting a blue lambskin double flap bag. I found it on FP and purchased it. Listing stated it was in excellent condition. I noticed some scuff in photos, but wanted to see it on person. Anyway, it arrived. I think it should have been listed as great condition. Here are photos.
Is this wear a deal breaker? Will it get worse? Is it super noticeable to you? TIA

Help me pick a color Loewe Puzzle Small

Hello! Need help picking a color - I am between the Tan and the Mink Sand. I feel like the tan goes with everything but do you think its too common and plain? The mink sand is different but does it look too light and "cheap" with the contrasting seams?
I am light skinned with dark brown hair. And I wear a lot of neutral colors - white, cream, black, tan, navy
Thanks for the help! I appreciate everyone's comments :)

Keep Classic Flap even though I never use it or sell?

Hello lovelies!

I never use my lambskin classic flap with SHW. I have the square mini in cavier and always grab that instead when I want the Chanel look. I don’t like heavier bags, worry about lambskin, and don’t prefer silver. I also have not been into the Chanel look much (but can’t tell if that is a phase or not…I don’t prefer the long thin chain look or a bag with any logo).

My question is! Should I sell the classic flap since I don’t use it to free up funds. I am just a teacher (and not married). So I will never be able to afford another Chanel if I get the bite for one down the road. On the other hand, there are other bags I want and I can’t afford to have such an expensive bag just sitting there that I never use. This is a tough one for me! I am personally very satisfied with my square mini. Just worried that 10 years from now I’ll regret selling the classic flap.

Help! Thank you so much :)

Chanel Repair vintage bag

Hey guys :) I wanted to get a 30 year classic flap repaired at the Chanel boutique (stitching is lose on the flap on one site) in Germany. Now I have two questions about it that no SA can seem to answer lol
1) Can I get it repaired even though I don't have the receipt?
2) How much does it usually cost to get a single stitch fixed?
Maybe some of you can help me, thank you in advance :)
Have a lovely weekend!!

My outfit colors in spring and summer are usually white, olive/ khaki green, light pink, light blue, and once a while beige or a pop of yellow (more pastels).
Colors in fall and winter are beige, cream/white, black, navy blue, olive/ khaki green, caramel, and a few different tones of orange (more neutrals).

I already own a light beige pearl crush rectangular mini and have been eyeing on that white square mini since a few months ago… until I saw people sharing their outfits with the light grey square mini!

It’s still quite hot now, so either grey or white makes sense since both colors are light. But what about in the colder days? Would one color fit better for my color combo during those colder seasons?

Thanks in advance for your input! ❤️

Urgent Authenticator service needed for Multicolor

Hello lovely TPFers,

I’ve just bought a multicolor speedy from a very reputable seller. During the sale, she paid LegitGrails to authenticate it and they’ve just come back after reviewing the photos and asking for more, saying it’s too ‘high risk’ to be authenticated.

Can you beautiful experts please recommend another paid service that is comfortable authenticating multicolor? I love this bag and will obviously only keep it if it’s the real deal.

Help!

Thanks everyone.

Any chance my vintage Chanel can be rescued?

Hello ladies,
I have a vintage Chanel that had been sitting in a storage for too long. Guess I didn't pack it carefully, so it got crushed by a very heavy box, and now when I took it out it's totally deformed. I deleted all the background so you can see the bag better and how bad the condition is...

I talked to Leather Surgeon, and Cory from there told me they can't do anything and even suggested that I sell it (I love it so much I don't want to sell but even if I did, who would buy a bag like this???)

I'm so sad, anyone can give me some insight please? Anything, anything that I can get to use it again. I'm close to the crying point lol.

It is driving me crazy I don’t know which one to get first! Majority of my friends said get the clou but I don’t think that can be an every day bracelet
Like I want to get a bracelet that I don’t have to take it off then I’ve never had a bracelet so it’s harder for me to decide. It is a matter of time to get both but it’s my last big purchase!

Thank you in advance!

Bal bags: Then and Now

Old-school Bal fanatics, are you feeling out of sorts with the new Bal designs now?

When I check out the Celebrities wearing Bal thread, not only do I not know most of the celebrities in the pics, but even how they style it feels so alien to me. Or when I visit a Bal store, when I don’t even see the “City” version on the shelves, I feel like it’s a completely different designer. Makes me kinda sad that I don’t feel any connection to the brand now.

If asked what’s my favourite designer bag, I still think of me as a Balenciaga girl. I check Reseller sites nearly everyday hunting for 2000’s era Bals, even when I’m not looking to buy... it’s just a habit I’m used to and can’t seem to stop. But I’m also ok that I only like the old bags and that the brand has left me behind. Because I was there and experienced NG’s era when the frenzy was real. That was a fun time.

How do you feel about the brand these days?
