I’ve had an xs mini in lamb with light gold hardware since probably 2012 (purchased in Paris) and the only photo I have of all my black bags on my phone is heavily filtered from IG, but I think it’s the perfect night time bag. My pro max only fits with a very thin case on it though or else it stretches the leather. To the right is a normal mini and the left is a WOC. The sides on mine are tapered like a regular mini though.

Are one of these the new extra mini?

I'm sure it was called a 'straight' heel and from the disco-era late-1970s. They became quite thin after the platform/chunky heel of earlier in the decade.

In early 1980s heels went conic (Charles Jourdan '79) cuban or triangular

The Aimee gets my vote.

I checked my chain necklace and bracelet and both are marked with the signature ruby, Italy, 18k and what appears to be a serial number and a star, the print is so tiny it's kinda hard to make out. I purchased both at a jewelry store that is an authorized RC seller ~ when I purchased the necklace it had to be ordered directly from RC because the store didn't have it in stock.
Other pieces could be marked differently though ~ maybe each line has it's own markings, mine are both chains, not bangle types. Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply JOJA...After looking at a lot of their jewelry, I did notice the markings vary, just as you pointed out. Thank you!

Like me.

That's luscious lamb, lamb is durable in my closet!

Me! I bought 5 so far. I know. I have a problem. I LOVE the leather. L-O-V-E. It is a thicker pebble leather but it is SO soft and squishy. The colors are amazing! Not light but not too heavy. And a new beige lining that is not noisy. I bought a drawstring, 2 satchels and 2 Barlows. My favorite colors are the periwinkle, followed by the fuchsia and then the wine. The larger O rings are REALLY fun. I just cannot say enough good things about the Lucca line. And I like that it is a pebble bag in monotone. I have SO many with saddle trim. This is a refreshing twist for Dooney. I think it would appeal to younger consumers. It certainly appeals to this mature and fabulous one. One caveat, I wish the satchel was larger. It is the size of a mini Florentine. Maybe Dooney will design a larger one. I will be first in line

LID: Thanks so much for your review. I'm drooling over the periwinkle color and the fuchsia too.
Sounds like it's 'safe' for me to be on the look-out for a Lucca. Not safe for my wallet, since I'll
probably want more than one bag. I've noticed that a lot of the satchels, often called domed satchels, are smaller. I use the zip zip as a guide, and many of the collections have similar looking satchels, but every dimension is smaller.... when they bother to list them. I like a
roomier satchel.

Just in case anyone else is looking and uses this thread as a reference, I purchased the tiny rose cut studs from this jeweller in platinum and couldn’t have been happier. They are TINY and beautiful and sparkly.

Great communication, service and ship.

I've just purchased the medium love in YG and I'm very happy with it. I will post some pictures for reference for larger sized wrists, I wear a size 20. I tried on the clash, the Santos bracelet and the love. Before going in I like the love the least, I knew I only wanted to try the medium because I thought the classic is to chunky. I really liked the clash but despite people here write it is comfy I did feel that the inner service wasn't flat. The Santos was also really pretty but bigger chain bracelets tend to move a lot on me and that felt annoying. The love felt right, it feels easy to wear, I really don't feel it at all and it doesn't really fall down either, I was afraid the weight to it might do that.

I did almost feel they gave me rose gold, the gold color is very intense and almost orange. Very different from my vintage jewelry and Tiffany but I will wear them together anyway.

Bump! Would love to hear any answers

Hi All! Has anyone dropped off their piece for resizing and had it shipped to your home after it was done? The nearest boutique to me is over an hour and a half away and the SA told me they could ship the resized piece directly to my home. Has anyone opted for shipping to their home and did you have any issues? It would be much more convenient but I’m afraid something might happen to the package (gets lost/stolen in transit, etc.).

I know I'm a bit late to the conversation but every time I purchased an item from a boutique, I had it resized and my SA shipped it to my house. It's very fast and secure (requires signature and photo ID upon delivery). I've never had any problems with it.

Opinions on this alma bb? Is it authentic?

We are not allowed to authentice like this. Check the rules in the first post, you can ask for help here:

I saw one in a gorgeous cognac color at Madison! My SA didn't think it would be a good fit for me, so we didn't pull it though. I trust his advice so let it go LOL.

I am a bit petite，around 165 cm. Most of its long leather coat is just too long for me. This seems promising and causal. Hope to see it in person

My mother's vintage luxury handbag has been rejected by several high-end retailers due to its age. It's a cherished item, with faded paint, and is over 20 years old. I'm hoping to find a repair shop in the Chicago area that can restore it.

Perhaps Docride can help you at least for an opinion in spite of her not being in the Chicago area

We don’t authenticate Hermes bags, you’ll need to use a paid service.

Did you end up getting it OP? I am considering it! Really been wanting a vanity-style bag and I think this is the perfect mix of trendy and classic.

This is not a new style for Coach though. They've had it since 2005 even though the clasp is differentView attachment 6073092

Now that^ looks like a Gucci.

I think the dog leash clip/clasp on the new Coach bag is what makes it reminiscent of Minkoff.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback! Helps very much! Think I am going to get them!

Did you end up purchasing them?

Interestingly, their uncle opposes them being resentenced.

Hi there. I have that same bag in metallic it’s my favorite BV bag. It was referred to as the iron bag. Much smaller and imo more user friendly than the Sloane. The Sloane is the same shape but larger with a magnetic closure and shorter wider shoulder strap. I’ve had two Sloanes that have both been rehomed. Enjoy your beauties!

In metallic sound beautiful - there are more versatile than most people think. Oh, thank you for the clarification!! Learned something Glad you love it as much as I do. I bought a strap elongater in gun metal to have a longer shoulder strap. It is even more amazing now. The inside is a beautiful lilac suede - stunning. Can't recommend enough. Thank you!

Not happy that the bag I want has not been placed onto the website yet. I want an Empire 28 in Merlot. I guess I will have to call an SA later today. Sadly, the wonderful SA I had is gone, as the store nearest to me closed. I will need to strike up a new relationship with a new SA, I guess.

Same . I waited for it then gave up . Did order the 40 in olive tho . Please let us know what you find out and best of luck

Hi! I ended up getting the extra small to medium size! I’ve only had to take it off a handful of times and struggled a little bit with adjusting it myself, only because I do like for that particular bracelet to be tighter on my wrist and not move. It’s a great separator piece to stack against metals!

Thank you, I think this same one will be my next purchase!❤️

I've heard several people say that you can kill the mold by freezing the bag. Some say spray with vodka first. But put it in a plastic bag and leave it to freeze in the freezer.
As another poster said, the storage environment is important too. Keep the bags stored in a cool, dry place away from warmth or moisture. You could try storing different bags in different places around the home to see whether the mould grows more in a particular place.
