Calfskin vs lambskin loop bag

Hello,
I am looking to purchase the small or mini loop bag.
I noted that the original comes in lambskin (lined with calfskin I think).
I noticed on the website there is now a version with metallic gold knot that is in calfskins?
Does anyone know which version is more durable? I.e., lambskin intrecciato vs Calfskin.
Would you recommend me getting the calfskin over lambskin?
Which color show less wear and tear?
Thanks!

Hopefully now that a civil jury in Ireland has found him guilty of sexual assault, it will start to catch up with him.

Mistake in serial number on COA

Hi
I am overseas and just bought something from VCA boutique today!
When I went back to the hotel I saw that there is a mistake on Serial number in the COA. On the invoice the serial number is correct. It is too late for me to go back to the boutique today and nobody is picking up the phone in the boutique! Can this issue be fixed quickly? Will they issue me a new certificate? I am so stressed since I have to leave soon . Any shared experience would be appreciated.

Which diamond would you choose?

Which diamond would you choose?

  1. 1.21 ct D VS1 $1116
r/labdiamond - Which diamond would you choose?
2. 1.40 ct E VVS2 $1310 (the image looks less symmetrical than #1. Will it impact sparkle and brilliance? )

r/labdiamond - Which diamond would you choose?
3. 1.51 ct E VVS2 $1698 (does it worth the $600 price jump from #1?)

r/labdiamond - Which diamond would you choose?
All 3 diamonds are from Whiteflash, and their pendant chain looks "dull/ not shiny". Does it look better to have a shinier or more understated chain for a diamond pendant?

r/labdiamond - Which diamond would you choose?
Thank you so much for your time and thoughts!!

Would you take this Mini Kelly if your SA offers it?

Hello All,
My SA just offered me this limited edition MK. It wasn’t on my wishlist and radar so I’m taken aback and processing it. If this was offered to you, would you take it? The horse is made from carved wood which is super unique. I’d love to hear all your opinions! Thank you in advance 🙏IMG_3380.jpeg

Mini Lady Dior! (White)

Hi there,

I've fallen in love with the mini lady dior in white or latte. This would be my first purse from Dior. This purse would be used for regular wear (but not daily). I would use it for dinners, going shopping, going out to house gatherings. Because it would still be used regularly, how worried should I be about the colour transfer, getting dirty, etc. How would this bag hold over time? I would not use it in snow, rain, etc.
I'm currently looking for a mini Chanel in black so I ideally don't want a dior in black!

I’m trying to purchase Hermes Picotin 18 and would be my first Hermes bag purchase. I’m torn between Orange and Limoncello color. I’ve neutral bags (Black, camel, grey, light/sky blue) from other designers and wanted to add some color.
My wardrobe includes blue(all shades), white, black, cream, pink, and some other colors.

Tiffany Rose Gold Heart Beaded Bracelet vs Hermes Ex-Libris/Confetti Bracelet

Hi all,


I am needing some help deciding between two bracelets. I have recently added two pink gold pieces to my collection from Cartier (Love band and SM JUC ring) and am wanting some pink gold to tie in to my everyday jewellery.

I currently wear a classic, YG Love bracelet, my white gold wedding set, my two PG Cartier rings stacked on my right ring finger and I usually alternate my watches. I also wear a diamond & PG Tiffany heart necklace.

Out of these two choices, which would you choose to wear with a Love bracelet? I'm wanting the silver to tie into my wedding set/watch, rather than a complete PG bracelet. I would go for white gold, but can't find any WG/PG combo bracelets.

Would appreciate your thoughts!

Dark butter

Hello,
I am looking at a flamenco bag in dark butter. Does anyone have this bag already and can share some natural light photos?
Is it a neutral color or too yellowish? and hard to match?
The photos on Loewe website suggest it should be quite a neutral color to match but I am not sure…
I saw some puzzle bag in dark butter and it looks very much like a pale yellow color which is different from the Loewe flamenco photos…
Thanks!

Chanel Classic Flap quality

Hi everyone! I need your advice. I'm considering buying a Chanel Classic Flap bag, but I’ve seen many YouTube videos where bloggers say that the quality of Chanel flap bags is poor. I also had a vintage Chanel bag from the 1980s, and it wore out very quickly. Today, the bag costs €9,900 small size and €10,300 medium size in Europe, which is a significant amount of money. Can a bag that costs this much really be of poor quality? I’m also debating which leather to choose – lambskin or caviar? And is it really worth buying Chanel classic flap bag today?

%* Mulholland Drive In - access to the collection *%

Hello everyone..!!
Today I was thinking about why I shouldn't have my own collection thread. :angel:
How many pairs do you have to have to call it a collection ?
Let's say about five...:P so it's legitimate... :P
I'm going to start the project very slowly, but I'll add more pictures to do justice to the name.

David Yurman Missing Diamond Repair Experience

Hello all!

People seemed to have enjoyed my experience with Tiffany repairs and customer service so I have another one for you all at David Yurman.
Tiffany repair here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/tiffany-bangle-repair-experience-and-price.1057303/

Earlier this year in February 2024, I had bought a David Yurman cable half eternity band.

On 08Nov2024 I noticed that one of the diamonds was gone! :shocked: It was the diamond right at the end of the row of diamonds.
Since I wear multiple rings, often right next to each other, and do all of my daily tasks with them on, in general it would not surprise me if a diamond fell out.
However, I got the ring this year. It's not even a year old!

The next day I bought it into the store to show my SA and see what could be done.
I was expecting to pay for repairs or at least the replacement of the stone itself.
My SA was so lovely and very apologetic that this happened. (Even though this was not her fault and I told her I wore rings often and often have wear and tear.)
She said: We'll take it in immediately for repairs.
I said: Great! What's the estimate? (estimate cost).
She said: It can take up to 4 -6 weeks for repairs.
And I was like, lol, no, I mean the price for the repair. :P
She said: Oh no! It will be free of charge! :smile:

And so, she wrote up the repair paperwork and my ring was whisked away.
I let my SA know I was in no hurry and to just let me know whenever it arrived.

On 18Nov2024 I get a call from the store that my ring was fixed and ready to be picked up!
I was quite surprised. Tbh, with the holiday season, I was expecting to get it at the end of December.
On 23Nov2024, I went in. (My SA was away on holiday). Picked up the ring and went on my way! :tup:

Needless to say, a pleasant and easy experience. Of course they cleaned it when I got it back so it was very sparkly!

I will post before and after photos when I get back home.

Longchamp Small Le Pliage City Shoulder bag

Does anyone have the dimensions of the Longchamp small Le pliage city shoulder bag? Unfortunately there’s no measurements online and I couldn’t find this bag on the Longchamp site (I’m in Canada)

I’m looking to use this for work so it would need to fit a 13” laptop. The picture of the bag on the model looks like it may be big enough but pictures can be deceiving hah

Any insights are appreciated!

Alhambra stand-alone piece?

Happy Monday everyone! I posted a few days ago— because recently I purchased an Alhambra bracelet, and this is after many years of a hiatus in buying jewelry. Not that it matters but I only prefer two brands. Anyway, I simply adore the Alhambra (YG onyx), it’s so pretty and I wanted another piece perhaps near Christmas or maybe a bit after, so I was trying to decide between two pieces. During the wonderful feedback I was receiving, it occurred to me that less is more. I’ve gravitated to this in many ways which is why I stopped buying jewelry plus it’s expensive. But the Alhambra looks so beautiful on its own, and I don’t need to stack it like I may have wanted to in the past. I’m not sure if this is a me thing, a new trend? If I were to get another piece I might just get it and wear it on a day that I’m not wearing my other Van Cleef. Does anyone else think that the Alhambra’s are great standalone pieces? Less is more nowadays with jewelry? Or is stacking still a popular thing? Ultimately I will do what sings to me but I always love opinions, feedback, and good conversation.

Sidecar- I am a guy- and I’ve worn VCA for the past 10 years plus! It’s my favorite!

COACH WESTERN SOFT TABBY IN MAPLE IS TO DIE FOR

It says FULL GRAIN LEATHER on the inside in silver foiling which you rarely find in any leather bag. I was head over heels for it lol, it’s my early Christmas present and it’s soft supple hand and ACTUAL SUEDE interior makes it true perfection. It’s not online anywhere but my local store had it and I’m bursting from joy!

What does the inside of a Bottega Mini Loop look like?

Hello! I am looking to purchase a Mini Loop bag on the preowned websites and I am not sure if there were two versions of it that were produced.

One, more recent version, seems to have interecciato weaving on the inside. The other model seems to have plain leather with small slide pocket. Here are two pictures I captured. If you own the bag or has seen the model in the store, can you please advise?

Help! Right hand ring

Hi there,

I am looking for a right hand ring to wear in memory of a special person who passed away last year.

I tried a simple band but it just doesn't seem to work. I am a soft classic, like to wear classic clothing, timeless jewelry, work in an office and live in a safe urban area. All rings have 1 to 1,30 carats as I like a simple presence

I narrowed down 3 options, any help in deciding would be much appreciated..

Option 1 https://www.damiani.com/en_gb/white-gold-and-diamonds-ring-20087540-c
Option 2 https://www.damiani.com/en_gb/white-gold-and-diamonds-ring-0-90-carats-20090834-c
Option 3 https://www.salvini.com/en_ww/white-gold-ring-with-diamonds-20077319-c

Thanks
