Hi everyone
I thought it would be fun to start this thread…

Mine is a dainty watch hopefully this…

And possibly VCA sweet Alhambra earrings ❤️

Hello everyone
I have a ABC Lady Dior from 2018 that has a missing old style snap on badge.
I tried searching online for some but couldn't find anything.
Contacted Dior and they said they no longer have any available.
Does anyone know where I can purchase one?
I will post a picture of the ones I'm refering to.
Thank you!

Hi! I am torn between two beautiful pieces for Christmas and was wondering what you think. I'm interested in the VCA RG perlee sweet clovers bracelet and the Bvlgari RG full pave double coil serpenti ring. If you own either/both, what do you think of the piece(s)?

I have two regular pave love bracelets in WG and RG, a wedding set in platinum, and the WG mini pave frivole bracelet that I wear together everyday. I can't decide what would look better with the jewelry I already have, although I do know I would like RG to tie in my RG pave love. If I went with the sweet clovers bracelet, is that too many bracelets? I would ideally like to stack three bangles together and am not sure which bracelet would look best with the two paves. I'm open to other suggestions as well! I don't have many rings, just my wedding set.

I truly can't choose and I don't live near a VCA or a Bvlgari so I can't try them on. I would love your opinions! Thank you.

Hi everyone!
I stopped in the boutique this past week and was not planning on making a purchase. I have though had a white or cream neutral bag in caviar, (mini size) on my wishlist for a while. This seemed to fit the bill and the price ($4350) was surprisingly not much more than a woc (which I have in black ) and considerably less than a mini rectangular. I don’t plan to buy many bags so I’d like to have a classic and curated collection. Thoughts on this bag? Too similar to a woc? Does anyone know the name? It can be worn crossbody, shoulder, hand held and backpack. Thank you in advance.

I own a few solitaire white diamond necklaces so I am looking for something more special. I found that Tiffany makes yellow diamond necklaces in small carat weights (under .5 ct), so I wonder if there are any other designer brands that make solitaire colored diamond necklaces in small carat weights as well. Thanks a lot!

I just saw hourglasss cosmetics at Bon Marche in Paris. Any experience with their foundations? I am very fair with red hair. Skin is neither dry nor oily, sometimes a little sensitive. Thanks!

help me pick my birthday bag please!

i have this rule in my head where i need to have a luxury item on my wishlist for a year before making a big purchase. this is to keep me from spending a lot of money out of fomo. i’ve wanted the mini rectangle for years. as for the kelly, when i saw it last year i couldn’t decide if i liked it or not. it’s grown on me and has been on my wishlist for a little under 2 months but i’m worried it’s because it’s a hot item and i won’t like it in a few years. however, it’s seasonal and am not sure if it’ll come back. that’s the annoying part about my 1 year rule is that if it sells out and doesn’t come back, sometimes it ends up as an item that got away :/ i know i could buy it preloved but the boutique experience is important to me & i prefer things new.

what bag would you go for or any advice is welcome! thank you 🙂‍↔️

Hi all,

I thought it might be fun to start this post.

If you could choose only one Loewe bag which one would you purchase and why? Feel free to also insert pictures.

Sky is the limit so any Loewe dream bag ideas are welcome

I have been with the same SA for several years. I haven’t been very happy. For example whenever I bought from another SA, I would get a travel pouch, cleaning kit and around Christmas I even got a present. With her I never get a travel pouch or the right pouch; for my 10 motifs I got those useless small pouches that are for earrings normally.
I just went to the shop and did an order with someone else but he said it would come under her name as I’m assigned to her. She is currently on long leave but we have been in touch.
I ridiculously felt like I was “cheating” on her!

Would changing the SA or not shop with the same one impact getting a limited edition or a Hp?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Hello, has anyone seen these bags in real life? I was wondering if the cc bag can fit at least a lipstick? Same goes for the sparkly bag? And if the strap from the round vanity case can be removed? See pictures below.

Has anyone has issues with their Henri Bendel luggage or bags with the disturbed stripe pattern discoloring? the top of my Rolling Hat Box luggage is completely discolored. It has been stored properly. The discoloration is only on the top of the bag. Any ideas how to correct this?

Hoping someone can help.

Can a speedy 20 in DE canvas be folded?

I want to put it folded in a larger personal item like a Longchamp for under the plane seat.

Going on a 7 hr flight and I'm worried about creasing the bag. Not sure if the 20 size is made the mostly the same as a speedy 25. I know the 25 can fold easily for travel/storage.

Hey ! Did someone know this bag please. Its a vintage Lancel bag of the 80’S - 90’s. One detail mention Fiocchi Italy. Thanks you

Hello!

I have been looking at the Alto small Callista for quite awhile in marine blue. I wish the bag was larger, but want the sachel short handle drop v the larger with the shoulder length. Does anyone have this bag? It is 51% off at D&B. It is higher at ILD.

Anyway, looking at it in marine or saddle. I have a navy florentine satchel (the common one with the fold over "smile" top and the two tassels on each end) and a very small alto saddle shoulder bag. I have several bags in t-moro, natural, oyster ect.

I can't decide if it's a good purchase and the color choice needed/wanted. I ended up feeling this way over a black alto with the pretty woven shoulder strap and I ended up loving

Thanks! You all are good at pointing out pros and cons.

Anyone have the gold T Smile bracelet on the picture? I really want the look of a gold bangle style of the Tiffany T ones that tend to get bent out of alignment where the opening is. The problem is those are out of my budget slightly and also feel like they would be more likely to bend. I am curious how the chain T Smile holds up, if the bar part still tends to warp or what others’ thoughts are.

Hi everyone! I was passed down this Patrick Cox bag. I tried asking chetGPT about it, but it wasn’t very helpful. Does anyone know what year it it? Could it be vintage?

Hi. I need some advice and your wisdom with Chanel beaute bags. I'm not talking about the ones you get as a bonus with products on the website as in the canvas ones like the holiday gift sets but rather ones that are VIP bags given out at the counters, if that is true. I have seen on eBay small bags that are described as VIP bags or given as a gift with purchase. Do Chanel give these type of gifts out or are counterfeiters telling lies? I have attached a couple of examples of the type of bags that are being passed of as gifts. I know they aren't leather, are massively made in China and obviously aren't the best quality. If anyone could also point myself in the right direction on here or elsewhere where I could cross reference models that have been made would be great also? Thanks!

Heyy everyone,

Hope this is in the right forum I can’t find the value of this purse, even chat gpt don’t got answers. There only one similar bag on ebay for like $20 help. It’s a gift from my aunt an she’s a kinda ancient😭😭

I bought this bag and there were so many flakes that I used a brush to get all out and now have just felt in the bag. The felt irritates my hands and also there are still some flakes I don’t want to get all over my stuff, so I want to buy an insert. Any recommendations? Anyone use one with this bag? Thank you!!

I went in store today and tried both and fell in love with both. I don't have the budget to purchase both (if not, I would have). Does anyone have any recommendations? Both felt very comfortable. Thank you!!

I just bought my 1st LV, a Graceful PM in Monogram. What should I do regarding the Vachetta leather? I’ve read to do nothing, or spray it right away with AppleGuard or let it sit out for three days and then treat it with AppleGuard. I’ve also read about products from Apple Care and Lovin’ My Bags. I do want it to darken with natural patina, but do not want water spots. Any and all help is appreciated. TIA ❤️

I made my first Florentine Leather Dooney purchase Fortunately, under $200 at ilovedooney, I ALWAYS bought pebble grain. I got caught in a LIGHT RAIN, but I had an umbrella--and i held the satchel up past my chin! STILL, I got raindrops. And, they didn't go away when the bag dried. Dooney was no help with a fix. Now, I'm so upset, I'm ready to wet the entire purse and see if it evens out---before I donate it! I loved the smell, I loved the feel. But the satchel looks like I bought it at a garage sale after great grandma passed. Oh!! NATURAL was the color. ANY HELPFUL HINTS?

Hi I'm loving my 1st VCA purchase; the rose gold sweet clover bangle in size XS which I've been wearing alone. Now I'm already thinking ahead to the future (b/c that is what we do LOL) to building a white gold stack & a thinking of starting with the white gold signature perleel bangle bracelet & then either just adding a wg tennis bracelet &/or the VCA white POG &/or a white gold coco crush thinner bangle? I've also toyed around with the JUC. OR do I eventually go down the even more expensive route of the VCA single row diamond or the regular clover? So many possibilities! Does anyone wear stacks including these bracelets that can show photos? It's so fun to see all the combos that ppl create! TIA!!

I need some advice. One of my Love bangles WILL NOT come off.

Backstory: I was wearing it on a trip and it was loose (me without my screwdriver thing). While I was looking at Cartier watches at a watch boutique I asked the SA helping me if they had a screwdriver by chance. The SA said they did (claiming they get asked often) BUT he used a watch tool to tighten it. It was very quick and before I could even question this method it was done.

Anyways, since that day I CANNOT get the thing off!!!! My spouse has tried several times. It is impossible. So far it has not been an issue, but I need it removed for an upcoming event and nothing is working.

Have anyone had this issue? How did you get it off. I have had one SA at a Cartier try when I was in a boutique this summer (to no avail), but I have not approached my SA with the issue yet (I live 5 hours from where my SA works).

Ironically, like a few others, I used to have the opposite problem with this bangle…

I feel like the only way it is coming off is if I cut it off.

So as the title states, I need help with what to do regarding my Chanel collection, specifically in regard to my classic flaps. Currently, I have 4 CFs — medium black caviar with gold hardware, medium beige caviar with gold hardware, small coral pink caviar with light gold hardware, and medium pink lambskin with silver hardware. Lately, I am regretting my choices for gold hardware on the black and beige, as I don’t feel it suits my skin tone. I wish I would’ve chosen the silver, especially on the black. It gives more of a youthful and casual vibe to me too. Now the question is — should I get the black with silver hardware? I don’t want too much repetition in my collection and I also have a black caviar WOC with gold hardware, so everything feels out of balance. If I got the silver hardware, I’d feel like I want to get rid of something from my current collection. However, I’ve also had a hard time with selling/consigning luxury items. I feel like I always sell at a loss and it’s very hard to find trustworthy buyers or consignment companies. It’s been a stressful process in the past and I’ve heard horror stories. The CF is my favorite bag aesthetically, but I also don’t give my current 4 enough love. My boyfriend told me I should think twice before getting the black with SHW, because my current black GHW only gets occasional use, despite being one of my favorite bags. I have to say, it has become a little scary to carry out CFs and I believe that to be a big part of the reason. To me, the WOC is super impractical (save for travel purposes) and I have found myself using it more, simply because it feels less scary (not because I like it more). I also notice many people go for Hermes these days when wanting to spend CF level money… It doesn’t change the fact that I love them though and find them very easy and fun to style. What do you think? Is getting the black with SHW redundant? Should I get rid of any of my collection? If so, any selling or consignment method recommendations? Any and all insight would be super helpful! TIA!! 🩷
