I'm in love with my exotic MK. I now keep looking at photos of H bags in exotic leather. I think my next bag will be an exotic.

Once you buy an exotic leather bag, do you go back?

I have personally only wanted exotic since my first! I can’t think of any other leather I would want a bag.

Using pink this weekend

Empreinte is so heavily treated these days, there's no need for any further treatment. It's gonna be fine.
The black-beige version is indeed much louder, some would scream new money even. But the dove-creme one is very sophisticated and a very carefully crafted colour combination.

Thank you very much! It’s always raining in Luxembourg so I wasn’t sure if it will create issues. I have the On the Go in black empreinte and it is quite resistant though I don’t use it daily and the Neonoe bicolor seems sturdier/harder.
If they’d kept the black version with black and beige only it would be less loud but I can’t figure out how to style it daily apart from total black with all these colors in.

I'm not sure yet to be honest. Probably either a facelift or temple lift, but I am willing to listen to what a Doctor would recommend. Also, possibly a neck lift.

Not interested in fillers or "sculpting" procedures.

Also, I should have been more specific with region. MA or NH would be ideal.

I've heard great things about Min Ahn in Boston.

Thanks everyone, really useful insights.

I ended up going completely different and bought this bag. Should be in in a day.

I think the Sisley Phyto lip tint in Nude is very similar ... just slightly more mauve. It has a very similar texture. I'm not sure about longevity though.

I’m thinking about buying the Ivy tote. I don’t have a local store so it would be online order. Anyone have this bag and can comment on their thoughts? Is it the same size as the LV Neverfull GM and Goyard Gm?

I don't have this, but it's a great classic piece to own.

Thank you. I will probably purchase it this fall.

I love my Dinh Van bracelet stacked with the JUC 🩷

I ended up not getting the dust. I didn’t care for it when I saw it in person. I did get the regular monogram rush that came out in February and that is the softer squishy canvas.

Thank you for responding! So when you saw the monogram dust in person, how did the canvas feel to you compared to the regular monogram?

Yes, constance slim has a mini pouch too.

Now my sunnies have a clearly visible place in the hallway (which I have to fight for because my husband simply wants to put too many music books)
and don't get dusty

Care to share any of the names so I can contact them?

Thanks @880 and @Veritybelle , I decided to keep the red one ☺️

I agree. How many black bags can you use? But I am odd and don’t like two bags with the same purpose or color taking up space in my mind or closet.

However, if you looooove black bags and would use one in every size and shape…go for black. I think this is so personal preference driven.

Anyone know what this bag sold for originally? I got it as a gift but will never use it. Was thinking of selling and want a fair price. I looked online and they sold one for $6500.

Congratulations and happy birthday!

I have Birkins in 25, 30 & 35 (had a 40 and sold it after several years of NO use b/c it was just too heavy for for work).

I am petite (height and size) and last year I purchased an exotic B 25 black shiny croc– I love the bag but I don’t know that I love the 25 size. I used it for day/dinner as i treat it as my “fancier tote” and can cross into dinner (my b30s i use for daywear). I purchased the bag b/c I thought in black and a bigger size would be too overpowering, but in hindsight I could have rocked the croc 30. The 25 doesn’t fit well over wrist (and I have skinny wrists and wear the 5.75 H bracelets), so you have to commit to carry with your hand. Also, since the entry space into the bag is smaller/tighter, I’m always concerned I will scratch the croc with my rings.

As another member posted, get the size you will use the most (it would have been a 30 for me) but then again I really enjoy my B30s/totes.

Ahh maybe that explains why the blacks are usuallysooo soft and smooshy.

Exactly! Which is not to say there couldn't be a dark coloured bag with dry or not-so-nice leather - I'm sure other factors play into it - but also seems to make sense that the more intense the colour dye process, the greater the affect on the leather.

Late reply, but I'll share a favourite fashion tip that I got from a professional designer - if you mix metals, keep them close together. The intention behind their placement brings them together instead of it looking like an accidental mismatch. So mixing rings and bracelets, or mixing multiple bracelets on the same hand, or mixing layered necklaces, even mixing necklace and earrings.

One thought about the earrings that hasn't been mentioned yet, is that they will look different on you if your ears are shaped differently and if your piercing hole is farther away from the bottom of your ear than the model's. The model in the photo has her piercing very low, which happens to be the perfect amount of space for the diamond-shaped pendant to just hit the bottom of her lobe. However, if her piercing was more centered in her lobe (as many people's are), that diamond-shaped piece would rest partially on her lobe, which alters the way it looks in my opinion. See the red outline for where it would rest on her ear if her piercing was more centered in her earlobe.

Just something to consider since you can't try them on in person. Try to picture where they will actually sit on your personal ear and whether you like it.

Good point! Mine are right where hers are, it would be the same

It’s not UNcomfortable. The handle feels squishy, it’s actually pretty fun to fidget with, and when it sits on the shoulder in the right spot it’s comfy enough, even loaded up heavy. If you have it adjusted longer it can slide off center which can be annoying. I used it as my carry-on with 2 small kids on a cross country flight and was happy with my choice. The external denim pocket is actually a super handy easily-accessible place to put a phone and boarding pass.

Hi! I had a quick question about YSL's Sunset bags. I noticed that online they only have Sunset Medium, but on other retailers' websites I saw that a Sunset Small does exist (only in croc leather or suede). Does YSL no longer make Sunset Small? Do we know if they'll be releasing in the future?

Thanks in advance
