Here's how one of those straps looks with my RT City

I recently purchased this bag at rome airport and took it out today to wear and have noticed white marks on the leather along with some scratches. I’m now wondering if this is durable? Does thu type of leather get scratched easily? Would i be able to return it in the store where i bought it? It’s been less than 30 days. Do they allow returns? Anyone know?

Reminds me of when my friend's grandma told me I was the first person she met with blue eyes.

This was in Japan btw.

When i lived in Hawaii and my daughter was a baby, Japanese tourists always stopped us and wanted to take pictures of her bc they had never seen a blonde haired, blue eyed baby before. When she was a few years old, her eyes turned green.

I had several bags that suffered from the melting glazing period. My understanding was it primarily effected bags produced from 2013 to 2015. It's possible that your bag was new old stock. Have you checked the date code? I would take it in and have it looked at if you are near a boutique.

Thank you, I took it in yesterday and they quoted 10 weeks for repair. Of course it will be looked at sooner (I'm pretty sure) and they will let me know the outcome. The date code was December of 2020, so not relatively that old.

I saw SL on IG. Keen on her jacket and colour combination. Any ideas where to look for? Thank you.

Question in the title! It’s still on the LV website but seems to be out of stock worldwide.
Is it just mega popular or has it been discontinued?

congrats on the beautiful BA earrings! I’ve been holding off on my next wishlist purchase until I know the new cleaning kits are available in the U.S. I think its perfect for maintaining my 10 motif malachite. so it may be time to reach out to my SA!

Do anyone knows of any authentication service that authenticate Chrome hearts spectacles?

The Neonoe again but in the bicolor empreinte leather (still undecided on the color but leaning towards the turtledove/crème one). I love this bag, if it’s again faulty I give up 😂

Just bring back this thread as I was thinking of getting botox. Anyone used Dr Hennessy before. Also anyone know the difference between the two of his websites. Links below.

Does anyone have a pair of D&B shoes? How do they fit? What’s the sizing like? How have they held up?

I’m looking at the Regatta PG boat shoes. From the reviews, it seems they run narrow and a half to 1 size smaller, than what you normally wear.

I wear between a 9.5-10 in Sperry’s.

TIA!

I don't have any experience with their shoes.
But, check out DooneyAddict615 on youtube.
She has bought a number of pairs of the Dooney boat shoes and also has
dealt with similar foot size challenges.

The colors seem too similar imo

Lol any box?

I say both because some outfits look better with a Birkin while others look better with a Kelly.

I have 3 medium lady Dior bags that I do use as everyday bags. But I have a lot of bags in my rotation & usually switch bags in inclement weather.

When I use my black LD (old style zip top), I place the strap on the bottom (inside the bag) & stack a makeup bag on top. This I use as a purse organizer. It makes everything easy to reach. If I need extra space (water bottle) or want to be hands free, I can take out the strap.

The LD is a fussy bag. I don’t mind bc I do love the style. But I have other, easier styles in my collection as well. I probably won’t add another LD. But if I could go back in time, I would have checked out the grained calfskin styles as well. (And maybe the djoy style).

I also love the Miss Dior mini. (Or is it my Dior). It’s a tiny woc/clutch bag (other end of spectrum in terms of size). But I love it & wear it all the time as well.

Does anyone wear their serpenti bracelet 24/7? I have the demi pave version and I love it so much, wear it every day, but I take it off for showering and at night bc I’m worried the internal wire will rust or get pulled out of shape when I’m sleeping. Is it safe to wear all the time like the Love?

Sometimes I wear mine a whole week in a row but I take it to Bulgari to clean often.

Do you move a lot when you sleep? I sleep like a corpse 🤣 so for me it’s pretty safe to wear during sleep.

Hi ladies,
Has anyone seen on the new plaque codes on the boy bags starting with a number, not a letter? Any insights appreciated! TIA xx

The SM bag looks great with the shoes and MUCH better than being matchy matchy.

I recently ordered 3 new handbags from ILD.
All show shipped, but the site no longer has any
details for tracking. I find it very frustrating....

I want to know the tracking info and also where the
bag is shipping from. Bags from the CT warehouse
arrive in a day or 2, bags from CA take a week or more.

Has anyone else noticed the tracking info is not available anymore....
and there are no alert emails to say the bag has shipped
(with or without tracking info)?

Hi bethanycrt, I have the Lock and Walk in black and love it! It’s still pretty new, but no sagging. As viewwing said, the black and gold is beautiful! I particularly like that you can use the bag casually by removing the chain, or dress it up by using the chain without the leather strap. Only downside (for me) is that the nice wide leather strap does not have a medium length, as the longer setting is quite long on a shorter person. As far as the price goes it definitely is a lot but it looks to be in line with pretty much all designer bags today. Let us know which you pick!

A thorough review of lock and walk. Thank you😊

Hi Miss Leather! Thanks for responding! Im glad it wears well. I have a pic of the underside of the flap and I can’t make out what it is. Looks like residue and if so, it should come off. Im just hoping it's not the coating that is on the leather, that gives the leather its beautiful shine, wearing away. Here is a pic. Your thoughts? The exterior looks to be in near perfect condition.

Hi Debbie,

It looks like it should come off after cleaning and using some conditioner. In general I was really afraid of lambskin as daily use but the shiny lambskin surprised me.
Here is how it looks the inside flap of mine though after constant use for your reference. Mine is from 23K so almost 2 years old. I dont baby my bag but I put some conditioner once or twice.
In general black is easy to take care of in my opinion.

I know many people have questioned what to use one or two of the Kirigami set for, but I find the entire set very useful. Sometimes, I use the large one as a clutch for casual evenings outings.
I use the medium as a passport cover for travel (as pictured) or as a catch all.
And I use the small one as a card holder or as a bag charm (as pictured).
I love my Kirigami set, wish it would come out in the DE canvas.

There was probably a reason why it was painted. Patent leather can yellow or change color over time due to oxidation. Patent leather can also get sticky from oxidation. It can also experience color transfer.

Thank you both!

The listings I am looking at might have mixed the names a bit. The Sonoma looks like the one in @Narnanz pic, with a zipper on top. The binocular bag is as shown in the pic, but with a turnlock closure. Which, I guess solves the problem of a fussy button 🤔

Click to expand...

Make sure when you find the bag you like that you get it authenticated by our wonderful Authenticators on the AT Coach thread.
The one with the turnlock was probably the Nottingham....or someone had the button changed?
You can also use the ID thread to check that you are getting the style you want.

Do what works for you. I think it would be very practical and easy to use/wear.
