Tradesy Purchase LV Empriente Montsouris

Purchased LV montsouris empriente from coco luxury on Tradesy. Had no idea it would be coming from Beijing, China! Will it come flattened in a small box? My fear is it will arrive all folded beyond belief. I’m hoping it’s not counterfeit! I’m trusting it’s real but worried about how it’s shipped! Can anyone tell me if you purchased from them and your experience?

Help me decide color for camera bag

Which color YSL camera bag would you recommend as gift for someone for whom this would be first luxury bag? I am tempted to get the dark beige because it seems like it's more versatile year round, but black seems safer, and I also like the white, but probably is because we're in summer season so it's hard to appreciate black at the moment. (Also, intended recipient is blond, as FYI). Will plan on GHW. Thanks!

Anyone else have trouble purchasing on 24S?

Anyone else having this similar issue? I first tried purchasing a bag on 24S last week and the charge was declined. I figured my credit card put a fraud flag on it and that I just needed to contact them to remove it. I contacted them and they didn't see any purchase trying to come through or being made, but said they'd put a high dollar authorization on the file knowing I'd be trying to go in again and purchase. They said they'd put the authorization in to make sure it goes through. I tried to purchase and, again, 24S said the card was declined. I, once again called my credit card and, the rep insists they are seeing nothing trying to come through. I thought, let me just try another card. Again, declined and I called that company and they also don't see a purchase trying to be made. I figured as much because this card always sends me a text when a purchase is trying to go through that is high. No text or any fraud warning. Thought, maybe 3rd time could be the charm and tried a 3rd card. Same thing. I contacted 24S reps once again and and they said the credit card is declining them. I told them the companies insist they aren't seeing any charges being attempted and to bring this to the technical department's attention instead of finance department. They said they would and get back to me. They just got back to me and 24S says there are no technical problems. It's so frustrating as I literally can make high dollar purchases on other sites and 24S is preventing this one from going through. If anyone has had this problem and gotten it resolved, let me know what they did, etc.. The bag I want seems to only be in stock at 24S or I'd gladly purchase elsewhere. Thanks so much!

Please help me decide on a Cartier necklace for 24/7

Which Cartier necklace for 24/7?

  • Clash Necklace Small Model

    Votes: 38 50.7%
  • Love Necklace, 2 Diamonds in YG

    Votes: 37 49.3%

Hello beautiful ladies!
I desperately need your help in choosing the perfect necklace from Cartier to wear 24/7. About me: I’m in my early thirties, work from home, but travel quite a lot. I narrowed my choices to 2 necklaces: Clash necklace in small size and Love necklace with 2 diamonds in YG. I plan to wear the necklace 24/7, take showers with it, sleep with it, work out with it, so pretty much never take it off. This will be the only necklace that I wear, I don’t plan to layer it.

Pros of Clash necklace:
- unique intricate design
- really beautiful chain with little shiny dots
- beautiful Cartier tag on the end of the chain (although almost no one will see it since it’s on the back of my neck)
- shows no scratches

Cons of Clash necklace:
- the pendant is pretty heavy, and the chain is really delicate (I love the look of the chain, but am afraid for its sturdiness in the long run)
- I’m a little bit afraid that I will get tired of the design of the necklace as the time goes
- the necklace is in RG (normally I prefer YG or platinum for my jewelry)

Pros of Love necklace:
- recognisable classic design
- much lighter than Clash necklace
- double chain seems stronger for everyday wear
- has 2 diamonds (though pretty tiny ones)
- available in YG

Cons of Love necklace:
- pretty generic (although classic) desing, not so unique as Clash
- double chains may tangle
- little diamond on the chain always twists
- the pendant will show scratches
- I’m not a fan of the part of the necklace where the chain isn’t attached to the pendant, but rather just looped around it, I suppose it will scratch the pendant

I don’t have a lot of jewellery, so this necklace will be my only one. I plan to wear it for a very very long time.

I would really appreciate your opinions and thoughts on these necklaces. Which one would be more suitable for my lifestyle? Which one do you like the most? TIA! 3CA3DD6E-54A5-4BAB-9F69-B717039DA919.jpeg5A7A2BD3-5798-47AD-8638-DEC332FE9ABE.jpeg

Chanel Boy Hardware?

Hardware choice?

  • Shiny gold

    Votes: 12 37.5%
  • Shiny silver

  • Ruthenium

    Votes: 16 50.0%

Hi everyone, I have my eyes set on getting a small boy bag in black caviar. This will be my first Chanel ever (if I manage to get one) and I am conflicted on the hardware choice: I personally like the look of shiny light gold but I heard the gold fades/tarnishes really fast. Is this true? I feel like I only ever see people complaining about the quality of Chanel so I’m wondering if anyone had luck with this hardware. My second choice would be the shiny silver but I’m not even sure if this combination exists for the boy bag (can someone confirm if black caviar comes with shiny silver)? As much as RHW is durable, I’ve seen it once in store and I think it looks too dull. I want a bag that lasts for a long time. Which hardware would you guys recommend? Thanks!

Balenciaga crossbody strap

Hi all

I have a city with a shoulder strap but I would like to add a crossbody strap.

Its black and I am open to generic straps (not dupes or anything just something from etsy) as well as a genuine one.

I am wondering what might look ok with the Bal and would love to see anyone who has done something similar or could recommend a seller or site.

Thanks

***** sorry found an existing thread not sure how to delete this

Chanel WoC bowing?

Hi all just wondering if bowing on woc is inevitable or can it be prevented? Looking to get a new phone, between iphone 13 and 13 pro, but 13 pro feel much heavier so thats why thinking of getting 13 instead although I feel so silly since I'm deciding to get a phone due to the fear of the bowing issue overtime. Anyone can share your experoence and if you own 13 pro and your woc is fine?

Fendi baguette - hard to close magnetic clasp

I have a medium fendi baguette in cloth fabric. I wonder if the magnetic clasp gets more difficult to close after the bag is filled. I have to wiggle the clasp for a bit to find the right spot and close when I am not looking. I had other leather bags and the magnetic clasp are always in the right position.

Does this happen to yours?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Anyone seen this bag in person or know of it?

I just ordered this bag today and I am so excited to see it in person. I have been trying to look up info on it online, but having no luck. I saw it posted here last night and the member was kind enough to share the SA/store. The SA says it's a new style called the Cushion Flap w/ chain. It looks a lot like the 19, but different turn lock and chain. I'm really curious how the chain works. It seems like it's attached under the flap as opposed to the outside of the bag if that makes sense? Can the chain be shorten? Is the flat part of the chain stationary/fixed on? The numbers on the receipt are: 871-22-22-401215192656 Flapbag Agneau $5100 94305 Black

I am really in need of a black bag with gold hardware. I already own a classic flap medium black caviar with silver HW and I really don't want to pay for another one. I do own the same bag in the clair beige caviar with gold HW and a classic mini flap in black lambskin gold HW. However, the mini I reserve for nights out and special occasions, while the beige I have hardly ever worn because I'm terrified of color transfer. I wear a lot of denim and black, and while I think the beige and black together is so beautiful, I am too scared to wear. I have thought of selling, but I know I will never find it again at the price I paid brand new $4800. Anyway, I wear mainly gold jewelry and I just picked up the Parade combat boots, which has the gold Chanel on it, as well as belts in gold HW, that my classic flap with silver clashes, although I love it in silver lol, so I don't plan to get rid of it. I am not a fan of the 19 as I don't like the CC logo/turn lock or the chain, but this might fit the bill. Just wondering if anyone has seen it?

Thank you!

Tiffany Lock collection!

This won’t be released until later this year I think? Around September?

It works like a lock hinge, the mechanism is very interesting. You need to pull it from the notch (a sliding motion) at the bottom to release the top, it opens and rotates open to put on/take off and then you insert the narrow end into the wide end (it’s hollow) and slides into place.
