Stacking Chaumet Bee My Love

Hi all,

I’m looking at stacking the BML with regular JUC. I’m unsure of potential scratching of the JUC by the points on the BML. (I don’t have this worry with the small JUC, maybe because the micro scratches are harder to see). Anyone stacking the BML with the regular JUC?

Turquoise alhambra

So I just noticed that on the USA site, they just put up the Turquoise Alhambra Secret Pendant Watch. In the mod shots they also show the 5 motif alternating turquoise and pave bracelet.
On this forum, I have heard of people being offered this only in private rooms, etc. so that few people know about it, yet here it is in its glory on the website. It’s not showing for sale but I am wondering if something is in the works?
I personally LOVE the bracelet but am not remotely close to VIP level to be offered it. Fingers crossed they start selling to everyone. Has anyone heard anything?IMG_4193.jpeg

How will we wear our multicolor Murakami?

Assuming we ALL get our pieces, black and/or white, will you just wear with anything? Clothing with prints? White only in summer? Black or white all year? What about shoes that might also have logos? Although I used to have a black multicolor, I’m wondering how to style it now in a modern way. Thoughts? (Yes I realize I’m manifesting positivity by assuming we all get the pieces we want. Ha)

Pam’s bag from The Office

Anyone know what bag this is? Looks like a hobo with exterior side pockets and O-rings in the strap. Saw it specifically in the episode of The Office, titled Goodbye Michael Part Two (at the end when Pam meets Michael at the airport). Photos attached. Thanks to anyone who might have info!!

Help me choose St Louis Glassware

    Votes: 10 47.6%

I am about to place an order for St. Louis glassware and am torn between Oxymore and Folia lines.

Oxymore https://www.saint-louis.com/en/collections/oxymore.html

Folia https://www.saint-louis.com/en/collections/folia.html

I have a Folia lamp and absolutely love it, with Folia glassware I somehow feel the design looks outdated and would not fit my modern living room /dining area. On the other hand, I am worried Oxymore is too simple and won't show all the beauty of crystal as the folia line would do. I would love to have something timeless that I would continue enjoying for many years.

Any thoughts/recommendations?

New bag: Sac Medor

Just bought today at Madison Avenue. My SA asked me if I had seen their newest bag.

1000018078.jpg1000018077.jpg

Before I saw this bag today I was contemplating buying a Prada buckle bag. 1000018081.jpg

My jaw dropped when she brought the Sac Medor out 😍

It was $10,500, Togo leather for the body of the purse and Swift for the handle. The opening at the top of the bag is a bit limited to width of the top handle attachments to the body of the bag. It has a shoulder strap that is fixed to metal loops at the each side of the top opening. I can wear it cross body - it sits high but still looks good. If you wanted a longer strap you could probably attach one to the metal loops at each end of the bag.

I dont have a mod shot because I just bought it and am on a plane from JFK😬 I did happen to find an insta Pic when I googled "Hermes Sac Medor" .

1000018082.jpg
It's also on the Finland and Belgium sites. 1000018080.jpg

I have to stop myself from buying the new LV Piano.

I have to stop myself from buying this handbag-


I fell in love with the new Piano reinvention. I tried it on-it looked and felt great on. But, unfortunately I promised myself no more LV Monogram handbags with vachetta leather-only with black leather trim. I have probably close to 20 LV monogram with vachetta trim and do not like how they look over time. However LV monogram with vachetta trim is SO LV and classic.

I hope I do not cave in buy this one!!!!! I do not think I will.

Second Bag Opinion

Hi everyone,

I really need your opinion to make my decision. I am new to Hermes and my goal is only get 2-3 bags. I already have multiple chanel bags: small black and beige classic flap, black and beige classic WOC, and small black mini flap.

I just recently got a noir b25 togo with ghw. Thinking about getting a second bag. I am in between a k25 sellier gold vs etoupe. To me, i think gold would fit more with birkin togo.

For those who owning k25 gold sellier, please let me know if its easy to dress up or down. My friend has k25 in both gold and etoupe sellier, and she recommends me to go with etoupe and save gold for another b25 because she found it hard to mix and match outfit with k25 gold sellier.

I wear casual clothing most of the time, and sometimes dress up a little bit (not too much) for night date with my husband. I like something elegant, but not too flashy. I am Asian, 5ft1, and in early 30s.

Really appreciate your time to read and give me opinions.

5 motif in blue agate

Hi I’m in need of some advice!

I have a white MoP 5 motif bracelet and wanted to add the blue agate. Malachite and yellow gold guilloche are also on my wish list.

My SA told me they have a worldwide shortage on the agate and check back in few months since I want to be able to pick my shade of blue.

Has anyone experienced something similar with blue agate recently? I have trouble believing there’s a “shortage” and feel like this is more a stocking issue due to the holidays.


Secondly, would gold guilloche be a better pick? With the way gold pricing is lately, I don’t know if I should just get that first and get agate later.

TIA!

Small single wrap hardware bracelet with ball charms

I have a fun dilemma to solve. I am adding to my very small Tiffany collection and want to get another hardware piece. I already have the micro size hardware bracelet in rose gold. It’s very cute and dainty but since it’s so small, it almost just looks like a thick chain bracelet from far away.

I don’t want to be redundant and get just another small hardware bracelet next, so I am thinking of getting the small single hardware bracelet with the ball and lock charms. It reminds me of the sterling silver bracelets that were all the rage when I was in high school 25 years ago! I don’t know if nostalgia is clouding my judgement or what because I do not want a redundant piece.

However this charm bracelet is super cute. However it is also $9000 and almost thrice what I paid for the micro bracelet.

So TPF members, is the small hardware with charms redundant since I already have a micro bracelet? I would get in rose gold only. I think I could attach the small to my micro and make a choker out of it but I’m not sure it’s long enough. Or maybe I should splurge a lot more (and wait longer to save up) for the small hardware necklace with ball and lock charms?

Considering a pavé clou bracelet vs. a Daytona

Hi friends. Longtime member here - man in 30s with glamorous taste. I have a yellow gold full size pave Love bracelet and am thinking of adding a yellow gold full size pave Clou to mix to celebrate an accomplishment. This would be something of an extravagance for me although it isn't irresponsible - just could be better invested long-term. I am considering the bracelet against a yellow gold Daytona. I do not have a photo of me with the Clou bracelet yet. A few questions for any of you who have this set up or helpful advice:

1. How comfortable is the Clou? Is it going to dig into my wrist if I'm exercising? Obviously can take it off but would like something I can wear most of the time.

2. Is this a level of flash that maybe exceeds what is appropriate? I also wear a Rolex Day Date in yellow gold and frequently my pavé panthere ring, plus my yellow gold Love pave ring every day.

3. Is the Clou truly the best thing to stack with the pavé love?

4. Should I get the Daytona instead? It's about 10K less.

Thanks for your help, friends.

The Mini Medor Bag- let's chat about it!

Hey all! I would love to know your thoughts on this cool, quirky bag. Do you love it? Hate it? Own it?

It has no feet in the bottom, just flat. An interesting choice... with box and other delicate leathers, any thoughts on how you'd treat this bag setting it down while out and about? My DH suggested a bag coaster LOL

Here's a stock image of the bag! I've seen it in epsom and box so far. Personally I think it's stunning, but I've seen almost no content about it!

Bvlgari Bvlgari Bracelet - MOP and Onyx

Hello! Does anyone have this bracelet and have any feedback? Bonus points for mod shots! My only hesitation is that it’s in RG and all my other jewelry is YG. I’ve noticed Bulgari has starting coming out with more YG, so holding out hope!

Hello, I have a few days to decide on a watch and need your help.

I’ve been discussing between Baignoire and Tank with some of you ladies in their respective threads but going to show all of them here.

1) Mini Baignoire Leather
2) Tank Mini
3) Baignoire Bangle (rose gold for size reference only)
4) Baignoire Bangle in YG (ideal color)


My partner thinks the leather Baignoire looks best. The bangles are a bit too dressy for daily use in my opinion but they’re absolutely beautiful!

The Tank seems a bit small. Actually they all look significantly smaller in person than in photos.

I would wear a regular Love bracelet on the opposite wrist. I dress super casual!

panthère de cartier mini vs small with pics

Hello everyone, I'm really torn after trying on the two sizes in store (originally went in for the min). I have a 14 cm wrist and I'm 170. I really would like to go for the mini because I feel it's more elegant and would go perfectly with dresses and on occations. What do you think? Please help!!!

Christmas came early!

My parents gave me my main gift early. They weren't sure if we would see one another on the actual holiday so they came to visit(little do they know- I have four days off and I’ll be surprising them)…

I don’t think I’ll ever wear it on the same wrist as my watch but also… I chose a size 15 and I’m wondering if it’s too big. I feel like I typically prefer my bracelets to fit a little bit more snug. I’ve noticed that people tend to wear this style a little more on the loose side… but it sort of moves around(on my non watch wrist)and I worry it will get caught on something and get warped. Regardless… It’s gorgeous and I’ve already added four pieces to my wish list. Maybe if I’m a really good daughter in the next week I’ll be able to check one off.

Hi scarf lovers! I’m curious to see how much more my fellow H scarf lovers are willing to pay for a HG scarf from past seasons in the secondary market. Anyone wanna share?

Need advice: Which piece to buy

Hi All,

I’d appreciate your help in deciding my next piece, as I keep going back and forth. I currently have a vintage YG pavé diamond Alhambra pendant necklace and want to add a second piece to complete the set. I’m torn between the YG vintage pavé diamond earrings and the YG alternating pavé and guilloché 5-motif bracelet.

I’ve tried the bracelet a few times in the store and absolutely love it, though I occasionally worry it might feel a bit too flashy for work. On the other hand, I haven’t tried the pavé diamond earrings in-store yet, but I’ve watched a few YouTube reviews on them. They look lovely!

If it helps, here’s a list of the bracelets I currently own:
• Two Cartier Classic Love bracelets:
WG with four diamonds and plain
YG.
• A small JUC with diamonds.
• Two VCA 5-motif vintage bracelets
in WG (MOP and Chalcedony).
• WG diamond bangle (2.8 carat in
total weight), which I like to pair
with my WG Cartier love bracelet.

For earrings, I have:
• Cartier classic YG Love hoop
earrings.
• VCA vintage WG MOP earrings.
• Mini Frivole WG pavé earrings.
• YG diamond solitaire earrings (1
carat total weight), which I wear
daily.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on which piece would be the better addition to my collection!

Thank you!!

Some questions regarding VCA Vintage Alhambra earrings

I am dreaming of a pair of Vintage Alhambra earrings. First I was thinking of getting the Sweet Alhambra (diamond version) but I thought they were a bit too small (may see if I can try them again). The Vintage Alhambra looked better but the pavée version is a bit "too much bling" for daily wear where I live and also too costly.

I prefer "neutral" colours and white gold and rose gold look the best with my skin tone. I am dreaming of grey MOP/rose gold but is unfortunately not an option. I am thinking of onyx/YG (it is not so much gold after all) but I am bit afraid they will "disappear" as I have black hair. White MOP I think may be a bit too bright. Now I am thinking of carnelian. It comes in different shades, right?! Although I assume most people would look for the truly red shade, I am wondering if anyone know if there is a really dark or muted carnelian (not orange though, that wouldn't suit my colouring)? That could be an option.

I have been thinking of guilloche but I assume it is quite "sparkly" in white gold (and I don't think it exists in rose gold). It seems as if rose gold is only with diamonds or the hammered version. There is no VCA store where I live and I assume best would be to try on some different versions to see what colour would look better. In any case, any recommendation would be very much welcome - what do you wear and which ones do you find to be the most versatile and suitable for daily wear?
