I have good luck with the old Chanel metallics: bronze reissue; blue metallic stripe.

Others on TPF have not, so u would run a search

I don’t do anything to mine. I don’t baby them. But, I like the patina of normal age

My denim is color safe.

Great !
Beautiful bags with a nice variety of shades.

They are fun pieces these Metallics.

denim and consistent rubbing is the culprit for disaster.

Omotesando is a high end luxury shopping district. I prefer it to Ginza personally bc it’s a more charming and architecturally pleasant area. And, imo the SAs are more relaxed. There are also a variety of resellers (several Amore outlets; paradise; etc) in that area. BrandJFA in Ginza. There are a few threads on TPF re Chanel and Japan, not just the one I’ve listed. It seems like reseller recommendations for Chanel in Japan are older. You can do a search for Hermes reseller Japan too (most large reputable ones carry both).

We have no Cartier authenticator on TPF at the moment.

Just purchased this cutie to use as a first aid kit. We’ve recently discovered my daughter has food allergies so I have to carry an epipen for her now 😕. It fits if I put it in diagonally, with still some room for bandaids, some pills, and ointment packets.

she has had some big success Very late in life

I have a big wallet with 12 card slots, two areas for cash and a coin area as well however the zipper ripped. I’m on the hunt for a new smaller wallet since I don’t need to be carrying my checkbook around everywhere. I looked at the Triomphe Wallet today. Just trying to gather some feedback. Does it hold up because I don’t baby my wallets. Thanks!

It’s called My Lady Dior and I bag.
Very pretty.

Everyone's ears and piercings are a little different. However, I have two different small Frivole pairs (pave RG pink sapphire and mirror WG), find them comfortable, and have not had to make any changes other than moving the post location. There are two options to choose from, a higher and a lower position.

Hello TPFers,

obsessed with Coach outlet bags these days! I was gifted the Teri Hobo from my partner and I love it but now I also want the Laurel Shoulder Bag! Is there a point? I want the regular size in black which means I would use it the same way as my Teri Hobo. Anyone with the Laurel shoulder bag have reviews for me?

I was with my friend when she bought the small soft Bays in chalk. It’s lovely. Meadow is a bit ordinary in comparison, we thought.

I love the lavender but agree that the navy is the safer, more conservative choice for a professional setting!

My thoughts exactly

Sorry, we don't have a qualified authenticator, you'll need to use a paid service.

I have numerous light colored bags as it’s my preference living in Florida and have never had any issues. Although they can be prone to color transfer I rarely wear dark denim and mainly use my light bags with lighter clothing and have no issues but I also already owned several black Chanel’s before purchasing lighter colors but I wear my pastel colors most I use Collonil Carbon Pro spray and it works like a dream to add an extra layer of protection.

Agree, laptop might fit but it will distort the bag and dig in your shoulder.

Nay, if it was cropped and sat at the waist of your jeans 'maybe' but this shape and length just are'nt flattering.
Off topic but I LOVE your jeans!
Where are they from???
I just read @880's post she is spot on!

I would stuff the bag really well (not stretching the leather). And let it sit for a while. You could also apply very light heat from a low hair dryer and far away from the leather to warm it up. And then gently rub the crease with your finger.

Thank you. It's only on one side so I'm not too worried but will try this!

I am invited to the Dior trunk show - I have never been to one before and I wasn’t sure what to expect?
Was I expected to buy or make purchase some items while at the event?
Thanks

Personally I think the actual bag looks too messy and fringey for me, but denim should be relatively hard wearing and possibly easier to clean if dirty? I don't own a denim bag from LV though, but the vintage pieces tend to look like they held up relatively well...

I would call your local boutique and inquire. I recently purchased a suit at a Ferragamo store while traveling and had it tailored at my local store (complimentary) but both stores were in the U.S.

Which jacket did you buy? I have a denim Prada jacket but I believe it's intended to have a baggy look.

Thank you for the your reply. It’s actually a denim jacket 😀 I feel like it’s a bit too baggy at the back, I don’t know how to describe it but it’s kind of like too much fabric at the back causes the jacket to flare out I’m not sure if that’s the style or because I purchased the larger size than my usual size. The SA mentioned it was the smallest size they had so I really thought it was my size hahaa

Your shoes will be fine with a good clean and polish. Leather is forgiving. Just sit where you can tuck your feet under the seat and this won’t happen. A good shoe cleaning kit at the front door for when you arrive home will help clean up the muck and provide some longevity.

At the end of the day, they are shoes. Meant to take a beating.

The earrings are such a statement piece. I would go for those. I have both hardwear and knot earrings. They're very different. The knot earrings don't come close in terms of presence.

I also have a similar hardwear necklace which I do not wear often. The earrings carry enough presence on their own without the need for a necklace.

Assuming you've tried them all on and like them all... My vote is with the hardwear earrings.

I wonder if anyone has a bag in this Vibe type of leather, it is shiny calfskin and it would be interesting to know the wear and tear on it. Anyone?

This is the older Burberry Knight bag. Here it is in a studded form:

Toss up between either my black Caviar Jumbo with silver hardware or my black Caviar old medium Boy with ruthenium hardware. I carried each of them for more than a year straight and off and on since then.

I don't own this ring but I tried it in the boutique. The diamonds are substantial and sparkle a lot IRL. I do have the small clash ring and I love it.
