I love the sweet 16 necklace. There are posts showing the multiple ways to wear it on its own and layered. If you can afford it, I think it is a versatile piece to add to your bracelet

The store interior was something else, truly a work of art. This was the other bag I really liked but thought the tote would be more practical.

I have a black Boy bag and I’m actively looking for a Chanel 19 bag

I’ve told myself I will have purse peace after this

The courier is a great idea too. I don't know why I've never thought of this before.

Oh yeah, the Courier is a great travel bag.

Hey everybody!

I was wanting to purchase a 5 motif in carnelian. It would be my first VCA purchase for myself. Do you guys think it would be difficult to buy mid December to early January due to Christmas?

Yes. If you find it now, buy it now. Unless you intend to have an SA you can rely on to snag it for you when it comes in, get it now.

Hi! it seems to me like the hardware has been discolored. It is not showing the color of the metal underneath the coating. The thing you might wanna do is re-electro plate it as brasso or any metal polisher would just take off more of its coating.

was thinking an everyday bezel bracelet. Do you think that it won’t be good for an everyday bracelet? Do you know if I went with lab, what to look out for in terms of cost and cut? Maybe I should be doing lab for the bracelet and natural for the earring or pendant?

Going with bezel set is going to protect them from most minor knocks.

It’s really personal (but I find all the charm in emeralds comes from the imperfections).

Also, the Maxi Twiggy has a center seam.

Hi!
Sorry but currently we don’t have a qualified authenticator, members will need to find a paid service.

Yes they will extend. It will cost a fortune though. I got a quote to add on a gold link to a T bracelet and the cost was $915 AUD a year ago. I didn't go ahead with it as the bracket still fit and had movement.

It won't cost anything to get a quote though so I would just take your piece in and see how you go.

I have a speedy 20 DE and i am worried the fabric strap will get dirty especially since I have a 5 year old around that always seems to have sticky/saucy/dirty fingers.

Has anyone sprayed scotchguard or some sort of protective spray on the LV fabric straps?

I didn't realize Rachel Weisz returned as a Burberry model for their Spring 2024 campaign! Ioan Gruffudd still looks amazing, too - bring him back as well!

Oh, she looks wonderful!

I have several Roberto Coin necklaces and most of them clasp on the right side and one on the left.

Before I had kids, I would've said I preferred bags... but now I'm 100% jewelry/watches > bags. Jewelry and a watch are something I wear daily. When it comes to bags, these days I throw my license and a credit card in the diaper bag and I'm out the door.

I have a Chanel classic flap that I bought as my first big luxury purchase 5+ years ago, and it's honestly not gotten much use, especially since I had my first. I have the medium size, and I find it quite heavy. I adore this bag, but I don't see myself using it again for several years. I need something lightweight that can carry spare outfits, snacks, etc. and this ain't it lol

My husband got me a cheap, cute quartz watch before the birth of our second because I was ALWAYS asking him what time it was, and I think it's one of the best gifts I've ever received. When I'm nap trapped or feeding my newborn in the middle of the night (I take it off overnight but keep it right next to where I feed the baby), it's nice to know what time it is to loosely track naps, how long it's been since last feed, etc. In your case, I'd vote for the BB.

EDIT to add: congrats!! Parenthood is such a wild ride. Enjoy this precious time before the chaos begins

In the same boat! Pre-baby I was hands down a handbag person. But now with a chaotic toddler, the only time I reach for my "nice" bags are when I occasionally go out alone or with my husband on date night.

So now in the past 1.5 years, I've hopped on the jewellery/watch train. I'm also super eyeing the BB watch in YG/SS two tone - maybe something you can consider as it will tie in your existing Cartier bracelet?

I'm also a bit particular about wearing items as a "set" and understand what you mean about your SS watch and the Cartier bracelet bothering you.

I feel like I might be in the minority here where I like wearing my bracelets as necklaces. I love how versatile it makes them. I do it a lot with my frivole bracelet, which is a little different than the alhambra. I've made it into a lariat & a choker. I've attached photos of both. When I make it into a choker, I usually use a sweet alhambra pendant and move the motif behind me (third picture) but if I want there to be 6 motifs so it was even, I would just use a frivole pendant to even it out (second picture).

The downside is that you can see the clasps sometimes, but I usually wear my hair down, and it hides it. I don't really care either way.

I really like the way the Frivole bracelet looks as a choker on you. I also wear a 5 motif on my neck, attached to either another 5 motif or a 20 motif. I like the option, especially to see how much I like it when I may be considering adding a 20 motif in that stone, or as a necklace option for a pave alternating piece (4 alternating bracelets = 1 alternating 20, but with multiple color options :graucho:

). I guess I have a skinny neck, two 5 motifs sit fine on me.

Does anyone have a link to the makeup brush covers that can protect the Florentine tassels? Thanks in advance.

In the past I've bought them on Amazon and on Ebay.
It was quite a while ago. I'll check my purchase history to see if
the last ones are available now.

I super appreciate this! Really helps me estimating the size. Gorgeous bags!

LOVE this!! So different from the usual. And it sounds like it will work perfectly with your wardrobe too! Great find.

fashion16 · Sep 13, 2024

I had a beige GST, GHW. I sold it in 2021 and don’t regret it at all.

For me, it was too big to be a shoulder bag and too small to be a “carry all” like the LV neverfull. For me, it just didn’t have a place in my life. Too big/awkward for errands, too small for travel.

It’s a personal choice but I sold mine for the same reason. I didn’t use it. I loved looking at it on my shelf but that’s not why I own bags. I need to use them

MK is not the only brand that isn't like it used to be! You should see all of the complaints about the newer LV bags these days! It seems to be a sign of the times. Quality with these companies, doesn't seem as important as it used to be. It's all about mass production and outsourcing these days, which is exactly why many of us search for the earlier models, even vintage bags, because they were much better made.

Covid only made things even worse with so many companies trying to catch up from what they lost during the shut downs, getting stuck with stock they couldn't sell. Most suffered huge losses that they are still trying to recover from. I say let's give everyone some time to get back on track and enjoy what we have for now, or perhaps find a used high quality treasure from the past on the resale sites. Just be sure to pick a site with a good reputation. There are many good recommendations right here on the TPF.

I agree. I have a MK Black Studded Calf Hair Hamilton that I paid $600 for and after using it about a month, the feet on the silver on the feet of the bottom are chipping or something and turning a copper color. I've heard this happens often lately with MK. Wish I would have known that before I bought this bag. Oh vey

So the bag looks ok. It didn't have it's booklet which I'm sad about. It came with ribbons, dustbag, and box. I am having trouble authenticating it. Because of the chip inside I can't get a clear picture of it? Macrolens I might need, but what kind is the best to attach to a phone that actually works?

If it's the blue bag on their website, it's worth taking screen shots of all the photos and information to keep, anyway, for your own records even if everything is ok.

It's a very pretty shade of blue.

Once it arrives, you'll have a better idea of how you wish to proceed.

I asked why it didn't come with the booklet and this was the response.
Otherwise the bag looks ok, Just haven't been able to get a clear pic of the microchip inside to have it authenticated. I can't seem to do it with an iphone 11.

Her response to booklet question below.

'Hi there - so glad you are enjoying your bag. I don't have one of those, sorry. If you go into any Chanel store (including the ones in department stores) with your bag, I'm sure they will provide one for you.'

I didn't understand how it didn't come with one if she bought it from the store. She never replied.

Hi, I just bought some new velvet sneakers and want to know if I can use anything to protect them? Thank
