Cheers. Over the years, I have acquired a collection of designer bags (Goyard, LV, Celine, Fendi, Gucci, etc) and jewelry (VCA, Cartier, Chaumet, Tiffany/Elsa Peretti, etc) and am curious if there are any legitimate sites for trades instead of direct sales? I am in the US (NYC). Thank you in advance.

Have any of you successfully worn a belt with Maternity jeans that come with belt loops?
I’m pregnant and right now regular jeans fit me, but later on in my pregnancy I am going to buy maternity jeans with belt loops from Gap. I have some thin leather belts with smaller buckles that will not hurt my belly or be too tight when I wear them.
Last pregnancy my maternity jeans kept sliding down, I have a slim figure except my belly. I’d like to wear a belt and wanted to know if that’s safe for the baby? I’d probably front tuck my thinner shirts to show the belt off because I like that style.

Dear all, could someone pls ID the necklace Kate Hudson wore in Running Point season 1 / episode 8?
Sorry I could't make any better photo, hope someone is able to recognise it though.
Thank you so much in advance!

Hello,

I hope I am right here as I never opened a thread here. Next week I am going to fly from Vienna to Osaka, therefor I hoped maybe you could give me some recommondations where to shop dresses and skirts in Osaka.

Thank you so much!

I'm going to do it! I'm going to find myself a vintage Hermes bag. Right now, I'm looking at vintage and well priced bags, which are all pretty neutral. Eventually, I'll be after something that is more modern, smallish, and vibrantly colored. Help me choose!

I'm interested in the La Tote (which, I thought was the L.A. Tote, but now realized it is the La Tote. Ha!)

Two other bags caught my attention, but I don't know what they are.

For starters, here's the La Tote. I like the shape. It's a little grandma-ish, but I like that sometimes. I think the little pockets on the exterior are cute. I don't know if I would trust them with more than a bus pass, but that's okay. I like the structured look and I very much like a wide bottom.

Hi everyone,
I am hoping to get some advices on a vintage K28 that i have been eyeing. I have a vintage black K32 Sellier in Ardenne leather and been loving it but have also been hunting for a Kelly in my birth year. I am more of a neutral bag type of girl, most of my bags are low key in neutral colors. My wish is to find a vintage Kelly in my birth year in Rouge H but it has been quite challenging. The other day, I accidentally came across a K28 Sellier Rouge Casaque in Epsom leather and best of all, it was made in my birth year!!! My question is what do you think of the color? Is it too bright and hard to pair with clothes? I adore the bag but I am not sure if i can pull it off as an every day bag or if it would be just too bright and formal? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

I don’t do a lot of posting, but I couldn’t resist my new Boston. It’s absolutely stunning and is very similar in size the to a Speedy 30. The interior is lined in suede and has a pocket. Plus the cost can’t be beat!!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a small evening bag which fits my iPhone pro max. At the LV store, my eye fell on the Felicie. But I can't make up my mind which color/material. I have bought several LV bags over the past 15 years, but I still don't own a leather LV. That's why I was thinking about buying the Felicie pochette in empreinte, black or tourtelle/creme.

I do worry about the wear and tear. Is the empreinte age as well as the canvas bags? I'm worried with a structured clutch/WOC like the Felicie, that it would loose shape soon. Is there a difference in wear and tear between regular empreinte and bicolour?

Furthermore I love the look of the tourtelle/creme, but I'm having trouble deciding because the black seems more neutral and easier to combine.

I would love to hear your advice

I tried on the classic low-heeled slingback the nude leather with black toe and the 7.5 was the right size for me. I am putting in a request for a personal shopper to find these suede slingbacks from a previous season. Does anyone have these or similar ones in suede who can speak to if sizing is consistent or different? Thank you in advance!

Hi all!

I was considering getting the Artois GM as a travel bag and wondered if anyone who owns it can share their experience with it I'm a huge fan of the Artois MM and use it all the time for under-the-seat (on planes) travelling plus for everyday work/uni. I need a new travel bag that is a shoulder bag instead of a duffle (have a 55 LV keepall) and found this gem of a travel bag and was confused if I could even use it on flights. Just have some questions regarding the 'luggage' piece https://www.goyard.com/uk_en/travel/travel-bags.html#ARTOISGMLTY33CL33P
Is it cabin size appropriate for planes? Do you fly with it or only use it as a weekender (in car) luggage? Please let me know your experience and thoughts!

Hi! I'm new to this forum although I've been looking at it without an account for quite a while.

I've been recently researching as I would like a QB in the near future (1-1.5 years) and while reading opinions about resale sites it seems that most if not all of them have had cases of selling counterfeit bags, and there are many people which say their authentication systems are quite faulty (we're talking VC, Vinted, RealReal, apparently Fashionphile is quite good..?). Then opinions about other independent verification services also leave me uneasy, it seems that today's fakes have a chance of getting through even the Hermès spa..?!

I've considered trying to get it in store but I don't really want to spend thousands on random stuff without any guarantees. I'm from Europe so would anyone have any knowledge on whether putting in a wish would suffice to get a B or K without spending much on other items? I have bought three Evelyne bags in the last year though one was in a different country and the other two were online (in my home country). I do intend on buying a few more lower-price NQBs (if I'm lucky lol), but honestly bags is the only product category I'd be willing to spend on, other than maybe the occasional scarf. Do you think this would help?

So what would you do? I don't know whether to trust resellers because even if I realise it's a fake it would then be a huge hassle having to claim for refunds or even sue So, is it worth playing the game, and would you say my current strategy will be enough to get a bag through the wishlist? (I've heard NQBs don't really help). Are there any stores worth trying for QBs without significant prespend (other than Paris)?

Sorry for this many questions, and thank you all!

Hi! I wanted to ask how common is for the date codes to be misaligned as I bought a preloved Tivoli GM and noticed that the code is not aligned as it should normally. Is this something concerning in your opinion?

I’m going to Selfridges on Monday to try on potential work bags. Work dress code is super casual- I wear the same clothes inside & outside work.

What bags should I ask to see?

My criteria:
• up to approx £2000 (approx $2500)
• Not heavy
• little (but ideally no) untreated vachetta
• Shoulder carry
• can carry: iPhone, cles, keys, kindle, sunglasses in soft case, mini umbrella, v small power bank for my phone

I will already be asking to try on the Neonoe in monogram & black empriente.

Thanks!!

Hello, I was wondering which watch size you guys preferred and if anybody has mod shots?

This will be open to the public from 12th April. (members only preview) Tickets sell out quickly! Posting early because last time I know many here where disappointed as they could not get tickets for the CHANEL exhibition.


If you like Cartier jewellery…

Didn’t see a March thread yet. Wow is this bag tiny! But cute. I’m still waiting for one more Murakami piece.

Hi all!

I'm still new to VCA and am trying to establish a new relationship with an SA. I had my 5 motif shipped home and made an appointment with my SA for a resizing and to view a few pieces. She sent it off and i just got an email to pick up the bracelet, and it says appointment only. I noticed she was kinda brisque when I asked to come in for a resize before. Should I be making an appointment with my SA to pick up my bracelet or online instead? Will that be offensive?

Do you all usually contact your SA to pick up after a resizing? Or just make an appointment and come in to get it? I'm not really looking to purchase anything, just get it and go but I don't want to offend my SA by bypassing them. What's the proper etiquette here?

Seems kinda silly to ask this but I just dont want to waste anyone's time! 😆

Thanks in advance for your input! 😊

New month, new purchases 😁!
Feel free to post your March Chanel purchases in this thread 👀.
Have a great month, everyone!

It's March already , which means we will kick off the spring season. Unbelievable!



Let's see all your new and old Bal acquisitions!

I am trying to remember the name of the online company that in the early 2000's that sold brand new authentic LV's as an alternative to purchasing directly from LV. It was not any of the dept stores. I remember buying from them but can not remember what the advantage was, but I think there was.

Hi, does anyone know any good places for cheek and jowl lipo?

Hi everyone! I currently have a Chanel black lambskin quilted mini rectangular flap, a Louis Vuitton Capucines, and a Louis Vuitton Neverfull. I love each of them for different reasons, but now I’m looking for my next bag—something I can use as an everyday bag.

I’ve been eyeing the new Chanel hobo bag, but I’d love to hear thoughts from anyone who has seen or used it. How does it hold up for daily wear? Is it practical in terms of size and functionality? Which material do you prefer? Also, if anyone has other recommendations for a great everyday bag, I’d love to hear them!

Looking forward to your suggestions!

Hi ladies! It’s been awhile since I purchased a Chanel and this vintage baby caught my eye at a preloved showcase in Tokyo.

I only know that it’s a series 1 but no idea of its name and all. Grateful if anyone can shed light on this baby and how do you care for your beige / lighter coloured Chanels? Im usually dressed in darker colours like black and navy and am a little panaroid about colour transfers.

Thank you!

I know prior to 2010 black flaps had black interior. But my question is (and I have searched the interwebs first including ChatGPT) is there a newer collection of black classic flaps in caviar that also have black interior? I know the So Blacks do but I remember reading somewhere that there are special issues with regular hardware with black outside and black interior and no etch stitching. Is there such a thing or can I stop searching. Thanks
