New Threads

Well, a good start would be to see what Vestiaire's listings are for similar items.
And if you're not satisfied with them, then check out other pre-loved sites such as Fashionphile and their pricing.

Wear and tear is a huge factor for determining resale value but also if it comes with the box and certificates.
Size is also very important.
Like shoes, the most common ring sizes are easier to sell, more in demand and fetch a higher price.

Expect to lose around 30%, especially for a ring that's been worn for 5 years.
Worn luxury jewelry tends to take a hard hit when it has wear.
I also feel the resale market is a little oversaturated with Cartier at the moment.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

Does anyone have recommendations or advice on getting jewelry insurance? I'm looking to insure an engagement ring and understand it could be added as a listed item under home insurance. However, I'm also interested in exploring options from insurers that specialize in jewelry coverage. Thanks in advance!

Jewelers Mutual is what I have for all my jewelry

Ahhh....it's you. You can make anything look beautiful. I love it!

Thank you. I'm glad I decided to use this bigger bag. It ended up holding a DJI pocket 3 and DH's phone. For this event, the security staff pulled out a template and showed people if the bag fit within the template, it was fine. It didn't matter how deep the bag was as long as H x W met the guidelines.

Yes good point. I think I like the more structured single flap in the blue denim. I found some other ones that are black jersey, a black nylon, and a velvet and they are all half the price of this black denim one. Thanks for helping me through it!!

I really like this denim version.Blue or black depends on your taste, I like both but would probably chose Blue. As for to hunt one or see what comes out, it's hard for me to say as we don't know what Chanel will make. Something could come out in the next couple of seasons you like better. But if you love this one, find one in a condition & price you are comfortable with, they come up from time to pre-loved. Particularly the Blue. Oh and to add, there is also a square mini in this print.

It holds two cards, one in each slot. I received mine maybe a week ago and it’s still very, very tight to get cards in/out. I’ve been keeping some old metal cards in it in the hopes of “loosening” it up so that it’s easier to get cards in and out. As far as how much of the card shows, the back pocket shows very little. The front pocket, shows more but nothing that would prevent me from using it - just be cognizant of how you place your card. As far as the magnet goes, it’s quite strong and I wouldn’t have any concerns as long as you have a compatible phone case or a bare phone.

What do you think are the chances it will stretch enough to hold 3 cards? I have been keeping 3 in the popsocket wallet I have been using forever lol

So I read the whole blues - no pics. I see no thread open to discussion. In every light the bags look different. I'm really torn and I'd love to ask someone but I don't see where. I "need" a colour. Saw the samples but still experience and people who own 10 blues know and see better. So if you can direct me to a thread I don't see ? if it exists I'd be grateful. It's a thread to delete afterwards.

Are you looking for our other threads (open to comments vs pics-only like the Herme Blues thread) which would have the greatest database of different blue colors, or are you looking for a particular verbal description of a blue shade you would like to buy and wanting to know what color it would be (based on a description of the color you want, not based on photos; because you are concerned that photos may look different than in real life)?

If the former, I would look through the identify the Hermes color/leather thread and search the thread for the terms blue and bleu.

If the latter, it may be more helpful to start a new thread with the color description/undertones/vibrancy etc you are looking for and any other parameters in the bag you are seeking (this may be more fruitful, because you can receive guidance about the exact color you want based on leather preference etc.).

Yes, per @acrowcounted , this is normal.

Is anyone going to the F&F sale next week? Has anyone been in years prior? Just trying to see what I should expect as I heard there can be great deals to be found. But they only give you a 1 hour time limit. Will need to speed shop!

Do they give you a plus one..... I am dying to go but I didn't get an invite

Ok, officially on the hunt for cheap, old covered hardware bags specifically for this project!

The chevron is so pretty

Hi Everyone, as the Holiday Season arrives very soon, everybody is starting to check the best men's gifts. One of them, of course , is a Hermes wallet. Problem, there are many of them : MC Thales, Copernic, Citizen Twill Compact, Citizen Twill Long, Azap the full leather not the silk one and Duo Calvi. If some of you have them , could you please share your opinions about what is good, what are the inconveniences and what would be Your choice today if you'd need to have a new wallet ; Thank you very much for your advices, Tom

lirienn said:

I can definitely see that. Definitely agree about size now. What leather is yours?

epsom

I love her style and liked this video - diamonds and denim. I thought I recalled her saying it was a sweatshirt?

@baghagg thanks for the lead. At this point in life I'm tired of doing so much research/purchasing items to find the right thing and then they discontinue it.

I got the charm! It is very small and dainty! Smaller than I thought it would be but it is really beautiful!

So glad you love it! It is small but I’m really enjoying it on my Speedy 20 - it’s perfect!

Thanks ladies for your input I was skeptical about the price of flamenco. But you are right that I can use the leather bag all year round and fabric bag is not user friendly. But I don’t like flamenco thin shoulder strap it’s so uncomfortable.

I have owned both and if I had a choice, I would choose silver (I currently own gold). The Chanel gold on medium flaps is very deep and yellow. Nothing wrong with that as it looks amazing on many, but I don’t wear a lot of gold (my skin tone looks better in white or rose gold).

If the medium flaps came in light gold hardware (seen on some minis and other classic flap colors), I would recommend gold with no hesitation.

I like Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse atm but also like The Body Shop strawberry body butter. But I'll also use up whatever face cream I've got fed up with/not happy with, just to use it up and feel , and not that I can go out and buy some more, oh no

Maybe someone with the Blair will weigh in, My guess is that we’ll be seeing a lot more of the new lining.

My scale isn't accurate enough. I thought of that but the info wouldn't be worth anything.
Sorry.

It may be helpful to format it in a continued, recopied list that is added to and edited over time, similar to the Hermes current prices list for handbags.

Vs Specific items commented on one at a time that may be harder to search for, especially if different people are posting different information.

For example, if I start out by posting:

Turquoise Vintage Alhambra, all metals, other than alternating pave and turquoise 20 motifs and 5 motifs offered rarely to VVIP clients.
Turquoise sweet Alhambra in yellow gold. (Turquoise sweet Alhambra only available in WG sweet earrings).


Then the next person can copy this and add:

Chrysoprase Alhambra, all metals.

I think it would be too convoluted to include special order possibilities. We can decide whether or not it makes sense to include made to order options, as we can assume they will come back into production at some time.

I love brights and pastels all year around so no objections from me but one thing to keep in mind is this bag is lambskin and won’t wear well in a light color. If you are okay with that, go for it but I would only buy these colors in a Chanel caviar leather

Click to expand...

I know, I have just learned to buy what makes my heart sing instead of practical reasons! I just am having a hard time picking between these colors not seeing them in person.

Anyone has any info or advice on this very flat pochette?

Anyone know anything about this Bulgari bracelet "7 row" edition? I can't find anything on it besides this picture from the 75 anniversary campaign

Just to add, Fendi is also using PU now, makes me dissapointed. I'm sorry I just need to vent.

Click to expand...

PU in bags and viscose & poly in garments across the “big houses” is honestly shocking. Recently saw a 10 000$ coat from brunello lined in 100% polyester.

Quality of leather from most houses is also pretty shocking… so many coated leathers that feel so cheap. (LV being one of the worst offenders in this area)

I’ve said this again and again but you can’t trust labels at all. Every single garment, bag, shoe and accessory needs to be evaluated on its own merit… sadly :/
