Hi all! Does anyone have recommendations for bracelets (either chain or close-fitting hinged bangle) that are sturdy enough and comfortable for 24/7 wear? Obviously the Cartier Love was designed for this, but are there other options that are solid and the closure is secure enough to wear all the time?

I’ve been wearing my silver Tiffany Hardwear microlink 24/7 for 3 1/2 years now but it has serious thinning on the links…I guess it can’t handle my lifestyle - lol! Thinking a rope chain would be sturdier.

Platinum or titanium would be more solid too, I guess, because of the strength of the metal.

Anyone have any other ideas/suggestions? TIA.

For the life of me I can't figure out what the top part of the stamp means could anybody give me any information possibly on it, please.

Sharing my 23k find…
Excited for 25c collection and very close on getting the beige nano shopper but i just bought chanel 31 in dark beige from 24b. Nevertheless super happy to find the colour that started it all…

Just wondering whether anybody has heard anything at the boutique. The online customer service gave a bit of a non-answer, leaning towards discontinued and no.

I am going to Paris during Christmas time and I want to purchase something special I know that there is no chances or minimum chance that I can get leather appointment for a mini Kelly or Kelly 25 so would you pick the Chanel mini Kelly or Hermes Kelly to go ?

I’m 45 and have always worn matte lipstick. However, I bought an ABH gift set that came with a free sparkle lip gloss. I might be hooked! Is this an everyday wear for someone in their mid-40s, or should I save it for youngsters and special occasions? Thanks for the input!

Hello folks. Apparently leather fringe earrings are a thing. Do you guys own any leather fringe earrings? @poizenisxkandee has some upcycled ones, so I am curious if these are popular in fashion, cos I do not remember seeing any folks wear these, though they look cool like cowboy style.

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience purchasing designer luxury handbag from Hong Kong? I would've never considered it but I found a bag I desire which is very hard to find (this is only one I could find at all online) and shop swears everything is authentic and get they've been in business for 15 years, winning a "no fake" award annually. They say they offer refund if it proves to not be authentic and I realize I could always dispute charge on my credit card too in that case. Here's start in wondering:

- How/where can I get bag authenticated on my own?

- Will I be responsible for paying any additional customs/duties, etc? Been trying to research and coming up blank. Store tried to assist but also has no details.

TIA for any assistance any of you can offer.

If possible, I would like to see photos. Thank you from Italy and Happy Holidays to all you.

New Trinity Lacquer collection. A ring and a bracelet.

Please help authenticate

Hi,

I recently got my first ever LV bag- the Saumur BB bag in monogram canvas.

I’m tempted to purchase a bandeau to protect the handle and wondered if anyone had ever done this?

I’m looking at the bb bandeau on the LV website and also wondering if this is the correct size for wrapping the handle? There is a nano version but is this better for just adding a bow to your bag?

Hi!
I got these jewlery signed christian Dior by Michael Maer. Anyone now any history abou it?

I’ve searched and find it odd there’s nothing posted about this bag! Does anyone own this beauty? Wondering how it wears, especially with the more delicate leather. TIA!

Hi! So, I was thinking of getting black patent leather shoes for an evening event but read online that patent leather is traditionally only worn in summer. It did say that the "rule" is old, but is this one of those things that will make me look uncouth if I wear patent leather in the winter?

I have a work party to go to this week and I have not found shoes that I like anywhere near me. I've looked in every store that sells shoes within 45 minutes of my house. I've looked online too and the only ones I like are CLs. There are 3 styles I'm primarily interested in:

Follies Strass 85mm. Gorgeous but at +$1K, more than I want to spend.

​

Pigalle Black 85mm. These are probably the ones that I would get the most use out of over the years to come. They're pretty classic I think. I'm guessing they might be the easiest of these 3 to find locally.



Condora strap 85mm. Not sure if I'm too old for this one tbh. Do women over 50 wear shoes with ankle straps or is the style too young?



So, now that I've shown you what I would love to have, am I being too picky? Should I just use the simple black leather heels that I already have?

...or should I drive the hour+ to get to stores that might have these CLs in stock?

...or should I compromise and get something less expensive (and much less attractive)?

Hi All!
I’m interested in purchasing this beautiful Chanel leather pouch from a certified reseller. I believe that it is a VIP client gift from a few years ago as seen in my research. I was just wondering if it is still worth purchasing given it was a gift and not likely part of a collection? It appears to be in good quality and has been authenticated by Entrupy. But unfortunately it won’t come with the dustbag or box. It is the same pouch as in the link.


TIA

Hi can you help me choose pls? So confused what to pick for my birthday 🥹

I usually travel with a carryon wheelie and a tote: LV Neverfull, Le Sportsac (Old Diaper Bag) or Telfar. I have recently noticed more and more people using backpacks. I travel in business or first class so I want something nice but practical that can accomodate my laptop, small purse and other essentials. Tumi screams business traveler to me. Would love some suggestions as my shoulders are getting so sore from carrying my totes.

Has anybody ever attempted or knows of professionals who do re-guild Giant hardware?
Some of my studs are starting to show signs of wearing off...
Any thoughts?

So I finally got my hands on the Kirigami organizer in safran yellow after seeing it store and instantly fell in love with it!

In store I saw the blue one, gorgeous color, but to bright for my taste as well as the hot pink one (not a pink person). Unfortunately they did not have the yellow in store, so I had to order it in. It was pretty difficult to non existent to find pictures or reviews on it online, despite for the occational pink or blue unboxing video, so I thought I post some pics and comparison to the Felicie, which I also have and which is similar, but still very different.

This is about the true color of the safran yellow. On the LV webpage, I was not sure if it is too oldish too brownish yellowish, but it is a lovely rich, but bright sunflower yellow in real life.




I liked the Kirigami organizer, because its body looks full and bouncy. In comparison to the Felicie which is more stiff and formal.
I put them next to each other and I was surprised that the Kirigami organizer is larger than the Felicie and I think also more forgiving if you stuff it full. Also I like the lining better in the Kirigami organizer. The Felicie has a fabric lining and somehow over the time the canvas of my Felicie warped. I hope that does not happen with the Kirigami in future…

Any other Kirigami organizer owners here and how do you like yours? I think I can use it well as a toss around in my workbag or use it as a clutch or catchall on travels!

Hi everyone! I recently purchased a beautiful Hermès Kelly bag from 1998 with a B stamp inside a square (indicating it's from 1998). The bag is for my girl friend and it's gorgeous! However, I noticed a couple of things that have me questioning the originality and impact on the bag's value:

1. Strap Stamp Mismatch: The strap has a D stamp inside a square, which indicates it's from 2000. Does this mean the strap isn’t original to the bag? Could Hermès have replaced it at some point, or is it likely that it’s been swapped by a previous owner?
2. Lock Mismatch: The hardware lock that came with the bag is from 2023. This seems like a much newer addition. I know the lock isn’t the bag’s most important feature, but it does feel like a piece of the bag’s history is missing.

My main questions are:

• How do these mismatched details affect the bag’s value or collectability?
• Would it be worth my time and effort to find a strap and lock that match the bag’s original 1998 year? Or should I look for a more cohesive vintage Kelly instead?

I love the bag, but I want to ensure I’m informed about how these differences might affect its value, long-term potential and if I got a good deal! PS the bag was roughly ~10k

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts—thanks in advance!

I’ve been contemplating getting a WOP 20 motif for a while now and have finally decided to pull the trigger when I’m next in a city with a VCA! I want to buy it to tie it to a special occasion though so I’m wondering how it works if they don’t have it in stock when I’m there… do I have to order it and pay for it, and then they will deliver it to me? Or will they let me know when it comes in stock and I have to come in and buy it then? How long does it usually take?

Also for MTO - because I’m also considering a pair of earrings (the 4 motif WOPs) that I know are part of the regular line but are usually MTO in that they don’t carry them in stock for the most part. Do I have to pay (in full or deposit) when I order, and how long does it take on average? And will they be priced in line with what it says on the website, or at a 30% premium? I’m confused because I read somewhere that MTO is at a premium but you don’t need approval for it like you do an SO; but this is part of the regular line just produced on order, right?

Thanks so much for the answers!! I just like to be prepared when I go into a store because the last time I went in I got so immediately distracted by everything I saw I didn’t ask any of the questions I had in my mind!

Hi everyone!
I have not purchased from LV in quite a while. I wanted a classic but not stereotypical bag as I rebuild my bag collection (tenant above me flooded my place in retaliation for being evicted) and I want a bag that I won’t get tired of. These are the 4 I was considering- what do you think?!

This would definitely be a bag I would use on the weekends during day or night out.

Also why is the petite bolite double the price of mm??

Thanks!!!
