First Chanel bag purchase in Japan



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).

Awesome August Purchases 2025

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.

Wallet Feedback

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!

Advice on How to get rid of crease on Jodie bag ?

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!

Is Prada tailoring free for items purchased in overseas Prada boutiques?

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

Advice for keeping new shoes new/from getting dirty???

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.

Help me decide between..

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.
