Good day fellow bag addicts!!

I just want to know what y’all think about this new bag chanel has released.

I Just got my C22 Small in Burgundy.

I have owned the bag for about 2 weeks and am quite happy with it. I also use it everyday.

The included pouch can be unzipped & zipped with only 1 hand.

The chain length is perfect for 5’2 / 157 cm me. I don’t have to strain nor fold my arm too much to access stuff.

No issues of the leather breaking or anything.

My only gripe with this bag is that the chain digs into my shoulders because I live in a tropical country so it’s only 1 layer dressing for me.
So i slipped my k32 leather strap as support to the chain and wear it with 1 strap hanging down as seen on media.

Do you also think all the older models like the Gabrielle & C19 are past their prime?

I hope the C22 won’t go that way as I also own a navy. Both bought at the same time as carpe diem!!

Thanks everyone!!

YSL Monogram Clutch / Wristlet

Hi All!

Has anyone seen in real life what the wristlet looks like now as online it doesn’t look the same as the previous design where the base is rounded like the actual WOC. The mix matalasse wristlet still has a rounded base but has the original monogram clutch changed its design like in the pic attached hmm

A bit adamant ordering online as I prefer a rounded base for the wristlet instead of the envelop style for this item.

DIY Spa treatment

Just curious how many of you clean your bags regularly? This my pre-loved Saleya, which I bought several years ago. It was yellowing and the checks faded in spots, the zipper was sticky and the leather scuffed.

I cleaned it up as best I could and try to keep it that way by doing a little spa treatment about twice a year, especially after spring and summer rotation.

First I pull the lining out to spot clean with soap or Folex, then I use a whitening shampoo from the pet store and apply to the canvas with a soft brush and wipe down with cotton rags. I then add a rich, leather conditioner to the vachetta, Brasso on the hardware and use wax paper on the zipper teeth for very smooth gliding action.

Would love to know what others do and see photos!

Goyard Petit Flos Bucket Bag - help me pick a color!

Hi Guys! I think I'm going to add the bucket bag to my collection and can't decide what color to get! Thought I'd get some opinions here. I own the totes in grey, yellow, navy, black, white and have the belvedere in grey. I was thinking I should choose a different color from the bags I have already but at the same time, the bucket bag is such a different style that maybe I shoud get a repeat, easy to wear color like black or navy? I'm leaning towards green or maybe red though! TIA!!

Opinions of Gevril watches

I am just looking to getting your honest opinions on the Gevril GV2 watches. You can get them at Nordstrom Rack for 300 dollars but at the Gevril website they are selling the same watch for like a 3k dollars. I got one of these watches for Christmas a couple of years back and they market it as a limited edition watch. I am not rolling in dough and so I am saving up for a Cartier a watch. I remember about 10 years ago there was an oversaturation of those D & G watches. I do not know if this is the same thing. I am thinking of donating this watch not sure yet. Just getting your opinions. I haven't seen a post on this watch.

Help me decide! Cartier panthère or Boucheron plume de paon?

Hi everyone! I am considering getting a gift for myself, and I am torn between these two necklaces:

1 - Cartier panthère: https://www.cartier.com/en-us/jewelry/necklaces/panthere-de-cartier-necklace-CRB7224538.html

2 - Boucheron plume de paon: https://www.boucheron.com/us/plume-de-paon-small-pendant-pink-gold-jpn00602.html

Both of these come in white gold version as well. I do have to admit that the city where I live in do not have big boutiques for the brands (we have a small Cartier store), so I have not tried these on yet. I plan to visit the stores in a month or so when I have a break from work.

I am curious to see what everyone here would advise? I have a pretty casual life style, only going into the office occasionally with business casual attire. I wonder which one, in your opinion, is more beautiful?

If you happen to own one of these, please do share a picture!

Thank you so much!

Full transparency - I also posted this thread in the accessories subforum, but want to get some advice on Cartier subforum as well.

DH had his first Hermes shopping experience today.

My (nearly) DH and I took a trip into Sydney's Hermes store today, for what was both of our first in boutique shopping experience. I'm a long term H fan and have a single Hermes piece which I got through a reseller (Kelly watch). My career has taken off properly this year so I am finally in a position to invest in some more Hermes. I was hoping there might be a bag to drool over and maybe purchase( which of course there was the display bags which were all stunning) no luck for me today. I was going to content myself with a Clic bracelet when DH swooped in saying it would make a good birthday gift.

Overall it was a wonderful experience.

Shopping tips for Saks?

I’m new to using my Saks card now that I live in an area with a much better stocked store. I’m used to nordstroms and their points system and sales cycle, but curious if there are pro tips for saks shoppers? I’m now a platinum card holder and I see there are double and triple points days. However I don’t think I can choose when these days activate, but I also can’t find when they may fall on the calendar.

Any pro tips from seasoned Saks shoppers?

Ideas for a LV summer bag! What do you use?

Happy weekend all my lovely tpf friends! :smile:

Just wanted to get your opinion and suggests on what LV bag you use during spring/summer. Is it different to your usual collection? Do you use more colourful bags?

Currently in my bag collection are all mono and DE bags, except a black heart bag and with summer approaching I wanted to venture out a bit and buy a colour or different type of LV bag for spring summer here. Something that would be pretty and cheerful to look at and use and special! I could use my mono and DE bags but thought maybe a colour would be nice to add to my collection.

I’ve been currently looking at the alma bb azur, nano speedy pink stardust, psp colour in epi, alma bb epi colour. What are your thoughts and if you have these bags how do you find them? Would you recommend them? Are they great bags to use especially during spring summer? If you would recommend something else I would love to hear it.

I know LV released sunrise pastel and stardust this summer but it was winter here so at the time I wasn’t interested and also worried abt colour transfer, but now that spring summer is approaching where I am, I thought it would be nice to treat myself to something pretty!

Some pics of the bags I’m considering below.

Thanks for all your help. :hugs::flowers::heart:
