Purse hangers?

Does anyone have a favorite purse hanger?

I've been slowly getting felt bag shaper purse inserts for my bags, which makes me wonder if I could just hang them and free up my shelf space.

I've been looking at the different purse hanger options online. Some seem to have a curve to prevent the handles of the bag from deforming, which I think is better than the ones that are just a little hook. I'm not sure whether the part that touches the handle should be chromed metal or plastic. Some seem to be capable of hanging several bags vertically and I can't decide whether that's ideal or not because I'm not sure I want my bags to touch. Some seem to be like little plastic shelves that hang from hangars so each bag gets its own shelf. Of the shelf variety there are ones that close tight and ones that breathe.

I'm not sure if there are downsides to these different hanger solutions that I'm just not imagining right now.

For some of my bags I still have the original boxes they came in so I store those in their dust bags inside of the boxes. I think for the ones I've decided should be on rotation this season, an easy-to-reach solution would be best.

Small vanity with chain dilemma

So I already have the black caviar from 22C and the 20B burgundy in lambskin. I love this style because of the price point and it fits a lot. I’ve recently pulled the trigger on the red caviar and whilst I love it I’m wondering if I should keep it.

On the one hand I don’t think these will come in caviar again. Red is one of my favourite colours. But on the other I could put money towards a watch or jewellery but then wondering if I’d regret passing up on this beauty. Do I keep or return?

Midi vs Mini Baguette

Do you prefer the midi or mini baguette?

Opinions wanted! Which do you prefer? The midi or mini baguette? I bought the midi a while ago but then the mini came out in the same color and I’m torn which one I like better. Even though they are both baguettes, they do have some differences. The F print is bigger in the mini. I’ve contemplated keeping both because I’m pink obsessed, haha. Let me know what you all think? I actually don’t see too many reviews on the midi style.

Jane Win jewelry; my new discovery

So I somehow stumbled across this designer. Jane Win. I have been on the hunt for jewelry in the same aesthetic as Foundrae, but more affordable.
I splurged on a Cartier small JUC earlier this year, so I am back on my budget but I found her pieces and I love them.
The majority of her pieces are vermeil. At first I was hesitant to purchase vermeil, but last year I purchased a vermeil pendant from Awe Inspired (another nice website) and it is 14k vermeil, which makes sense as it is more durable than traditional higher karat vermeil and to be honest it has held up beautifully.
She also makes them in sterling silver and solid gold. I bought a couple of pieces in vermeil and I am going to wear it for awhile before I invest in her solid gold pieces.

I have a vintage Dior from the 70s (I think it’s the 70s) that I love to death.I’ve had it since 2007. It is my on and off daily bag and over time looks kind of beaten up. Should I leave it as it is? Allow the bag to show it’s love (corner wear, handle wear)? Or have should I have it restored? Please share your thoughts. It was so pretty when I first got it and now it’s kind of sad looking.

Help! Is this mini puzzle bag still available?

Hi all, I was wondering if you know this color combination "black/angora" in the puzzle mini size is still available for purchase? Where could I find it? I am from Canada.
I realized this color combo belongs to the past collection after contacting the Loewe customer service online. I felt terrible not buying it when I first saw it...I am really hoping there is still a chance that I could get my hands on it! Thank you so much.

Shipping out of country

I see something I’d like to order but it’s unavailable in my country (US) but available elsewhere, according to the website. If it is really available, does LV ship internationally? Anyone have experience with this?
(I mean the actual store location, not the website.) I know in the US, you can get items shipped across the country from a store that has an item in stock, for example!

So… Beyoncé’s Birkins are in storage?

The Cut: “Our Condolences to the Birkin”

In lyrics on her new album, ‘Renaissance’, Beyoncé says the following:

Versace, Bottega
Prada, Balenciaga
Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy
Collect your coins Beyoncé
So elegant and raunchy
This haute couture I’m flaunting
This Telfar bag imported
Birkins, them ****s in storage
I’m in my bag

:whut::eek:


Let’s unpack this. :lol:

A Couple of Perforations on my new New Evelyne TPM Aren't Popped Out

So, I'll start this by saying that I wound up purchasing an Evelyne TPM when I wasn't even looking for a bag. On one of those trips to H in which I asked for a pair of shoes, my SA said she just got this little black bag and wanted to know if I wanted it. I said yes!

I used the bag for a few weeks and loved it - it's far more versatile than I thought it would be, and though it doesn't fit my water bottle (which I knew it wouldn't), it fits everything else! Plus I thought the price was super fair in today's designer bag realm for a premiere bag that also actually works!

All of that being said, I was writing a review on the bag for our site, and only at this point did I realize that two of the H emblem perforations weren't popped out of the bag. Now, I don't think this is a huge issue, because for me it looks like the perforations happened but didn't complete and I assume I can just give it a bit of a push with something small to pop it out. But, Vlad actually thinks it's fairly appalling as far as quality control goes. I haven't yet removed the perforations because on the off chance that it is not fully clean margins, I don't want the bag to have any sort of issue or pull at the body of the leather.

The comments on our post varied - some saying that I was showing H bias (which I may be, I've been on a big H kick) to others saying this is a problem and others thinking it wasn't a big deal. Figured I'd share with you all to see what you think!

I am still going back and forth about if I should just pop the leather out myself or take it back to the store to show them in the small chance that it could actually be an issue with the perforations. Wanted to hear your advice as I know you all are the most well-versed in H of the world!

You can see this really well here because Vlad lit it up to showcase the issue:

Shopping at Toronto International Airport?

Hi lovelies!

I’m currently traveling in Toronto with my Dad and we’re leaving this Saturday in the late afternoon - he’s flying out of Terminal 1 and I’m leaving out of Terminal 3. I’d really love to get my hands on a Toronto branded Longchamp bag without giving up time seeing some popular sites for having to take a long uber ride to any of the malls/shopping centers for a bag. What I’m wondering is would I be able to go through security/customs with him at Terminal 1 so I could get my bag and then move to Terminal 3 for my flight, or am I doomed to play real life Monopoly by having to go straight to Terminal 3 without passing the store? My dad said he’d be willing to get my bag for me if he really had to, but I’d rather not have to subject him to that if possible!

Thanks in advance!

Classic Small Flap.... Beware!!!!

Hello, everyone!!! Please be aware of this Classic Small Flap which I returned last July 25th at Neiman Marcus.

When I purchased the bag, I didn't bother to check anymore since it's brand new. It never crossed my mind that Chanel would sell this kind of bags. But when the first time I took it out from its box, I knew something was wrong. So I compared it with the Classic Small of my sister which she just also bought last June at Saks Fifth.

If you are purchasing a Classic Small Flap, please scrutinize it first before paying. I don't want any of you ending up with a defective bag. When I returned the bag, I told the manager that is was defective. But she insisted that it was not. So I am assuming they will still offer and sell "that bag" to anyone.

Kindly check the photos and share me your thoughts. "Defective One" is the one with red markers.

Thank you! ☺️

Any recommendation on a lightweight, genuine leather top handle bag with crossbody strap?

Hi all. :heart: Looking for a recommendation on a lightweight, genuine leather top handle bag with a crossbody strap — Small-Medium size. Would be nice if it comes with zipper but secure closure in other styles work too. I would love it in black, minimalistic style with no or very discreet logo. Could be premier designer or contemporary.

The closest I have in mind right now is the Loewe Puzzle bag in Small size. It checks all my boxes except that I don’t like the origami pattern — nothing wrong with it but it’s not quite my style. I want something more minimal, discreet, and timeless. This bag would be the exact one I want if it’s not for the origami.

The Celine Belt Bag in Nano size comes close too except the fact I already have it in the micro size. Now looking for something less structured.

So to sum up:
1. Top handle bag with crossbody strap
2. Lightweight (very important)
3. Real leather
4. Minimal, no obvious logo
5. Prefer zipper
6. Prefer unstructured shape
7. Prefer black color with silver hardware
8. Small-Medium size. Hold more than just the essentials.

I would like it to be just a simple, worriless black bag for everyday wear that’s good when I travel as well.

Would really appreciate your recommendation!

I've been thinking a lot about those drab green Barbour jackets that the British royals seem to favor for their hunting expeditions. LL Bean also makes a similar style here in the US, but I've never heard of someone actually wearing one to hunt in.

I know in Maine, people hunt on each other's land (unless that land is posted) so a very bright jacket is usually preferable for the sake of not accidentally getting shot by other hunters or while going for a walk in the woods.

I almost ordered one the other day, figuring I could style it sort of preppy with penny loafers and a mulberry purse. I just can't make up my mind though. What do y'all think of this style of jacket?
