Hi all,

I live a long way from a store so trying in person is not an option - does anyone know if you can clip the multi pouchette around the waist and wear like a bum bag to jog/walk? Anyone tried it? I like the look of the MP more but I guess the bumbag might be more practical. Or if you’ve got a much better option that you exercise with let me know please.

What is everyone’s opinion on the cross is it worth it ? I don’t have a cross and it is unique. The sixteen cross. Thanks

Reach out to the leather surgeon they should be able to help you shorten it.

We went to the mall and I tried on that Tiffany ring in person. I am completely in love with it. It's the only setting I've seen that I just absolutely love. I can't even explain why! It's just the right height and just the way the setting comes up from the ring is so perfect.

Is it crazy to try to get a jeweler to re-create this exact ring? Is that even allowed??

The diamond I tried on was even a little smaller than my diamond, and same cut. It felt so perfect. My husband completely loved it too.

I wish they would let me buy just the setting! 😭

Well, there you have it! Sounds like that's the one! Now you just need to find the right jeweler, but you will.

Luxury segment should be split into Accessible Luxury, Luxury, Ultra Luxury

Oh yes, I agree! The hammered rose gold was much more matte than I expected.

Good point about wearing it on different hands!


Looking back at the vintage size, it doesn’t look as big as I remember (I tried it on a few months ago). Debating if I should go back and try on the VA bracelets as well 🥲

I can definitely see myself wearing the WG pave on its own since it’s already so sparkly!


Your stack is so cute ❤️! I love how dainty the one motif looks! Thank you for sharing!



Good point! I think one of my original hesitations with the soft bracelets is having it get tangled with my JUC but figured it would be okay since I’ve seen it stacked by other people.

I love the look of the perlee bracelet with clovers but it’s a bit above budget! 😭

Yah I get it. But I can also totally imagine people shaking out their arm so that the stack looks pretty and untangled before snapping a pic right? 😆

Tried it on today. Total love. I must have it

If you felt the need to ask this question multiple times just today on the forum, then I don't think you're sure about the bag. I'd return it.
Canvas prints vary, also the photos are not good enough quality for us to tell you if the previous owner also tried some magic treatment or not, that might have damaged the upper layer. Some people spray these bags unnecessarily with all kinds of stuff, you can never be sure unless you buy it from the store brand new.
Also it would not be ethical if we tried to convince you here, since you look very unsure. This bothers you and will bother you no matter what we say. It will always be the dull bag. I'd try to find a new one if I were you.

An original PTTM Sasha in the HTF color of Cordova — worn w/a damaged birdie (but maybe you can negotiate a better price - I’d also be happy to share how I fixed up my Niagara Blue one I recently purchased )

FYI - the seller sent me an offer for $115 if anyone is interested in this & contemplating an offer!

Thank you!!!

thank you both! Do you just stick it underrneath the top of the strap? or do you let it extend as well to cover the edge of the strap?

Depends on where it is rubbing is. I typically place it where it rubs. I cut mine just smaller than the area so it doesn't show. Hope that helps. It might be trial and error to see what works.

Does anyone know when the next show is? It will be our first preview into post-JWA and I'm both excited and nervous.

They will be presenting their first collection in October for SS26.

Get the B25 gold on gold and you will love it. I am 5’8” and my B25s are my go to bags when I don’t have my dogs with me.

I have big hands and have to be a little more conscious to get them through the handles. But I can definitely carry them on my arms.

So currently in Mexico City and purchased goods at the department store El Palacio de Hierro Polanco where they have a duty free office. They processed my purchase which required my receipts, credit card used, contact info, passport and flight info. They gave me a form with my expected refund summary. I asked them twice, but they mentioned I don’t need to get a stamp from customs before I leave back to US.

I AM JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE I do everything right to get my vat refund. Has anyone had to do this recently and can share their experience?

I recently purchased the Loro Piana Loom 25 canvas bag and love it. However just 2 months after using it I've somehow managed to lose the gold padlock. Now my bag feels incomplete without it.
I purchased the bag while traveling in Paris. I tried emailing corporate, they referred me to my local store, which is Beverly Hills, and they pretty much said there is nothing they can offer, they don't sell replacements or offer any options.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? any suggestions? Link to bag below...

ohhh I love that bag. So sorry I don't really have any suggestions. Maybe find another lock you can use? LV or H?

Honestly you'd have to prise my B30 from my cold dead fingers to get me to part with it!
I don't give two hoots about what's on trend, as far as I'm concerned my medium sized (in my opinion) tote is perfect for a full day out. I still love the B35, but unfortunately a bag of that size and weight doesn't work unless it fits on my shoulder.

In the UK, with the associated weather and at my age I need glasses, (variofocal) sunglasses, umbrella, card holder, keys, lipstick, mirror, tissues, tablets (the medicinal kind ), vape (sorry!) and enough room to pop in a couple of smaller purchases (hate buying carrier bags).

My mini Evie is perfect for a short trip when I need to be hands free.. supermarket shop for instance, but for all day not so much. No way could I leave the house with a mini Kelly and not be carrying a whole bunch of stuff separately!!

Cute thread! so hard to pick😂
I would have to say my Jardins de Soie Shawl & my Etain B25😍

Likewise, I've always wondered why there's not a lot of Omega chatter here...it seems most of the interest is in either Rolex or Cartier. Yet Omega is considered by many in the watch world to be right up there. In fact I was talking to a local watch repair guy and collector recently and he said Omega is his favorite brand.

Your blue Aqua Terra is gorgeous! Love that textured dial and the rose gold indices

Note the prices in the pics I posted are in Canadian $$, and I'm assuming the 30 mm cost higher because they just developed a brand new movement to fit the smaller case.

Thank you! I think the model I own is old/hard to find...it was definitely strangely cheaper than the 34 mm with similar dial to the new 30 mm when I went to the AD. I'd consider the 30 mm if it's just the size difference in case. The dials are stunning in person!

wow shocking! and thank you for the warning! I did a quick search and yes I'd stay away, https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/apr/09/brandy-melville-hbo-documentary.

Hello ! Having these earrings I can assure they are just gorgeous (they make you have this kind of I-am-a-princess-feeling ) … that being said I wear them really not as often as I would like to. They are quite heavy (if I put stickers that helps a lot but they are a necessity …) and they look really chic so I don’t think about these as of every day earrings.
In the end I don’t regret buying these earrings, just that I know these will be one of my worse cost per wear piece of VCA
Have fun trying them

Random question but do you think they will release new bear designs in the future?

Click to expand...

Yes, there’s at least one more coming for Spring/Summer 2026, it was shown at the last show. There’s a photo of it somewhere on this thread 👍

I ended up cancelling my Vivienne Fashionista. LV missed the delivery date and could not give any timeframe for fulfilment. I’m delighted with my bears anyway so the bag charm itch is scratched.
