Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a gentle leather cleaner for my Delvaux handbags (not for stains or heavy dirt, but for general maintenance if older bags). I’ve looked into brands like Collonil, but most cleaners container harsh chemicals which can also cause allergic reactions. As I am prone to allergies, I am looking for a mild cleaner to apply before conditioning my bags.

I’ve read that Marseille soap is mild on leather but I am afraid to use it on an expensive bag.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

My SA offers Birkin 25 Sellier PHW epsom in rose azalee but my dream bag is GHW not PHW. My SA even said that now rose azalee doesnt come with GHW anymore so im wondering is that true???

Should i get PHW or just keep waiting for GHW which i really dont know when?

Thank you for ur help in advance

Does anyone know if this bag is/will be available in other colors? Thanks so much! ❤️

Considering buying these amazing boots but I am afraid that my calves won't fit, given the fact that there is no zipper. Does anyone own these? Would love to know the circumference of the upper part.

Which season has the best yellow color bag?

I’m curious how important people feel a relationship with an SA is to them.

I’ve been thinking about buying an item and had discussed it with my SA from whom I’ve bought several other things. Then I happened to see the item preloved in pristine condition from a professional reseller for 30% less.

I was surprised that I had a moment of guilt for considering buying it since I’d first looked at it with my SA. At the end of the day, I never promised or even intimated that I’d buy it from her. But my pause made me wonder how others feel.

So my question is ONLY for those who buy things both retail and preloved. Would you pay more to buy something from your SA when you have an equivalent preloved option at a lesser price? Why or why not?

Friends, this might need to be filed in the back of the dumbest conversations ever posted drawer, but here we go.

I bought a Celine Sac Filet for less than $25 (shipping included). I don't have it in hand yet, but should in a few days. Why did I buy it? Maybe I am just a sucker who couldn't resist a $20 Celine. But honestly, what the heck am I going to do with this bag?

The obvious answer is, "Whatever you want!" Okay, sure. But seriously, do any of you have this bag? Use it? How is it useful? I mean, what the heck is this bag's goal in life? How do you style it?

Was this bag ever popular? Does anyone know any history about it?

Where will it live in my bag closet? Next to the Chanel XL Jumbo, or next to the $8 wicker bag from the thrift store? Don't answer that, I think I know.

Attached is a picture of a Celine net bag, but it's not mine (which is on an airplane somewhere between NY and Texas.

Thanks for your thoughts and discussion...should any come forth.

I am considering buying the Balenciaga Pool Crocs but I can barely find any outfit pics on Pinterest. Does someone here own them? Are they comfortable?

Hi all! My best friend and I decided to get matching JUC rings and I’m super excited as this will also be the first luxury item she buys herself.


I know that the thickness of items can differ if it has diamonds. I haven’t found a ring that felt comfortable on my pointer finger, but that’s where I would wear the ring. Is the one with diamonds around the head more comfortable or less?


She’s getting white gold and I would be getting yellow gold.

Do you prefer the regular sized ring or the new thin JUC? Thank you!

This can dull over time, right? I'm purchasing this one from 2002 and was authenticated by LegitGrails.

I am looking for an organizer for my Neverfull GM. Does anyone have experience with Zoomoni? Samorga is unfortunately not an option since they do not ship to Europe.

Is it just me or has anyone else kind of discovered a new self through handbag/purse culture?

Recently, I got into handbags. I am currently slipping into a mild obsession. In shallow terms, bags are pretty. Being surrounded by pretty things, and carrying pretty things makes me happy. But I'm going to get deep for a minute here.

My whole life I have really struggled with self-confidence, self-esteem, having a strong identity through my style, femininity, and expressing myself. My whole life has been a constant lesson and reminder that pretty gets you far (it's not all that matters but it is tied to a lot of a woman's existence whether I like it or not). I was never that girl and I will never be that girl even if I get all the surgeries, if I can't be her naturally then I don't want it. But for my friends and other beautiful women around me, confidence, self-esteem/worth, and femininity were so innate to them - because they're obviously gorgeous.

For a woman like me, beauty is not something I could ever rely on or lean into. Now, let me be real with you, I have come to terms with how I look enough to be objective with my looks. I am grateful enough to admit I do not have any major issues with my looks, but my kind was rejected and outcast for most of my life. If I wanted to have value in the world, I had to lean into different areas, i.e. academics, and motor skills, along with life experiences that equipped me with insights into how to navigate the world for women like me. I worked on myself as a person and as an energy, and I honed in on making my contribution to people meaningful.

I hated that femininity was foreign to me because I felt so rejected by it and others. As if I wasn't welcome or allowed. But somehow, I found my entry point through handbags. They seem to inspire more feminine movements in my body expression and in my clothes. I started wanting to accessorize my bag and get cute girly things to match my bag. I always dress according to how I feel in my outfit. On super unconfident days, I looked like absolute trash, and the only thing that saved the fit was the bag. I don't know, I guess I have had kind of a metamorphosis through my love for handbags. Can anyone else relate? If any one is open to connecting, please share your stories with me!

I want to talk to y'all about everything under the sun when it comes to bags, accessories, your in-store experience, and your travel shopping experience (send pics!). I want to learn about what these bags do for you, how they boost your confidence, how they help you hit your style goals, and what the bag symbolizes for you!

Let's connect over our love handbags!

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for an everyday bag. Because of a shoulder injury, I can't wear heavy bags.

I went to the LV store with the mono speedy 20 or 25 in mind, but I wasn't sure about it, because I already have a speedy monogram 30. The SA showed me the On The Go PM (canvas, mono). I wasn't really into it at first, as I never really liked reversed monogram, but when I tried it on, I really liked the look of it.

I do find it quite expensie because I don't like the jaquard strap. It also looks like this bag isn't very popular, which also makes me hesitate.

I can''t make up my mind, so here I am, asking for your advice. Is the On The Go PM worth it? Do you find it practical for everyday use.

Hi all! I have the YSL med envelope and bought some chain adaptors on Amazon- but the chain link is too small
To put the adaptor through. Any suggestions? I'm trying to make my bag a " handle " bag

Hi all, I'm looking for some ideas or inspiration about creative ways you are using the Rose de Noel clip. I bought the Rose de Noel clip pendant, in the small model, and find I never use the clip on its own. I only ever wear it as the pendant. Aside from clipping it on to a lapel, which is a bit too traditional for me, has anyone discovered any other uses for the clip? So far, the only other use I've found is to put it on the chain of a magic alhambra pendant, which is long, so that it can be worn longer if desired. Any ideas are appreciated!

I am rather a big(ger) bag user and I am thinking about adding a K35 Retourne to my collection, no sellier, in a grainy, more softer leather. In terms of fit, I tried one at the boutique already, looks great on me and my frame and I do like how it feels to be carried. However, I do have a Birkin 35 that I like to carry and I am wondering if I am duplicating bags in my collection, which is basically my main concern stopping me from the K35 so far.

in terms of colour I would go with black (as for my birkin) because I would want it as a workhorse bag, also working with my business attire and as a travel bag without worrying about dirt marks, etc. . And I love black.

I‘d love to hear experiences form owners of a K35 or owners of both bags. Or just opinions!

Hi

I recently purchased 2 x Fope bracelets to wear with my watch. The bracelets are very light and I did think any scratching would be minimal. Earlier this week I noticed the face has feint scratches in several places and the case is quite badly scratched. I’ve had my watch less than a year and will take to the Rolex shop this week to see what can be done to fix the damage.

I bought the bracelets specifically to wear with my watch so now thinking is there a solution. Could I put something as a buffer between them and my watch? Anyone have any advice they can offer? Thanks so much.




This is the side of my watch which hasn’t been in contact with the bracelets.

Hello there,

I was wondering if the wide size shoes (C width) are available in the USA and in Europe?

When I was in france I only saw regular sizes (like 40, 41), do they carry C-width sizes (40C, 41C) in paris specifically?

If the stores dont currently carry C-width sizes, can you request for it?

TIA

I’m wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the SA perspective of resale purchases. It’s a long story but I’m sitting on store credit for a bag that was not repairable. I’ve been trying to replace it with another bag, but my store/SA (which is not in my home town) has said they haven’t had any bags when I’ve been in town. No complaints against the SA or the store. They’ve been very nice. But I ran across a QB on a reseller’s site that I loved so I purchased it. My question - do SA’s tend to frown upon it and look at it as “disloyalty” by purchasing from a reseller? Or does it lend to the argument that one loves the brand? What are your thoughts?

Hello everyone!

I was on the wishlist for a mini kelly or kelly 25 in gris meyer ghw. But got offered a birkin 25 togo gris meyer ghw.

I currently own 2 birkin 25’s in epsom sellier black ghw & togo gold ghw.

I’m so unsure if I should get this bag or not cause I still dont own any kellys, plus not sure if I even get a kelly offer that it will be a gris meyer (previously got offered black & etoupe kelly’s and said no). My other concern is if I say yes, that the gris meyer would look like my black birkin when worn at night and I wouldn’t feel like there’s variety in my collection.

Ps: I was promised an SO this year, so theres a chance I can do a kelly just in case I end up with a birkin.

But please help, what are your thoughts?

I’ve searched all over the internet, and I can’t find it. So many people on here have some lovely pieces, and i try to think of different ways to wear my stack. One of my ideas is to wear 2 Cartier Loves classic sizes (mostly because I never remove the ones i have an I’m in coordinating them in my stack for now since they are sentimental), and the 3rd piece would be the VCA signature perlee bangle in yellow gold. Does anyone have these 3 pieces, that they can model for me? If so i would so appreciate it. I found a picture of one love and one signature perlee but it doesn’t give the full effect. lol tysm!

Hello! I will be traveling to Europe (Specifically Spain and possibly Portugal) in the summer time. I am wondering if getting a lady date just two tone MOP face is any easier there than where I live (SF Bay Area a few AD's here)? I have never been inside any of the rolex stores and I don't know if in Europe you can just walk in and buy one of those models. I would love to purchase in Spain so I can get VAT refund. I have no purchase history

Hello
I am in a very torn situation and hesitate very much what to do next. I found a paradise bird ring in a second hand jeweler : they have all the papers and my SA confirmed the serial number to be legit. The only down side is the size : I need 2 sizes more which the jeweler that sells the ring can do for free. They are sure that they won’t touch the engraving and that the diamonds on the side of the ring won’t move after the size change. I personally don’t care so much if I loose one diamond on the side (not the entire ring is paved with diamonds, only a little part of both sides on the top). I asked my SA and the VCA Atelier answered they cannot do it because of the diamonds on the side and that it then could get a diamond loose so could fall. They then refuse to change the size (non consideration decision). I would be happy to take responsibility for that but it is a clear NO from VCA.
Then I am completely torn. This ring is really such a piece I find it is a work of art and something that I would likely regret if I don’t find another one in my size.
What do you reckon ? Would you go ahead and still buy a piece that will no longer be recognized as a VCA piece because of the change of size ? I don’t intend to sell my jewelry for the next 20 years. But in terms of value you cannot sell this piece after changing the size in the future.
I made a deposit for this ring and wait a few days to think about it as the deposit is refundable…
Thanks for sharing what you would do !

I'm having trouble deciding on my next bag purchase. They're both around the same price. Which one would you prefer if you had to choose between the two? Thanks!
