Advice on quality issue: exchange or keep for 30% off?

Agree that over time the area will likely worsen.
Any option for a refund? If you take the discount are there any further conditions & if you take
a replacement, you will likely in a short time perhaps experience the same issue, JMO
Thanks, appreciate the input! I think refund may be an option (hopefully!) but I'll give exchange a chance and see how the replacement bag goes, and push for a refund if it happens again.

Suede care help! Brooklyn 39

I bought a suede Gabin bag from Sezane, and the first few times I used it I was petrified. However now I just sling it round, put it on the floor, you name it. Suede is more hardy than I thought! And I think suede looks better a bit more lived in. I use a suede brush on any marks - it has a brush bit and a bit that feels like an eraser - any marks or stains just use the eraser bit and they lift pretty easily. I've not bothered with a waterproof spray but would avoid using a suede bag if it's very wet. Just enjoy your bag.

Many thanks 🙏 for your reply and pictures.
If I understand you right so if the zipper are outside and attached to the button and not filled with stuff the bag will keep in shape?
And if I fill the bag with more and have the zipper inside it will turn to the other shape?

Your bag is absolutely gorgeous 🥰
It is a perfect size. And I like when I can open up the bag a lot.
Thank you 🥰
I put the zipper always inside but it doesn’t help to get the slimmer shape. For that I tuck the leather inside and put a thick clip from the inside to keep the leather inside. Otherwise it won’t stay there and leads to the wider opening. I put some soft cloth around the clip but it works. I think this bag is made for the wide opening and they should not show the slim shape on the website. But with my method I can get it if I want :cool:IMG_7683.webpIMG_7684.webp

Prada Bonnie bag

Thanks! Yes the dark brown is also gorgeous! I have to say every time I see the smaller version you linked to out in the wild (that gives the true EW vibes) I stare and stare and think - do I need a 2nd, smaller version 😂😅 it looks SO cute and chic!
The answer to that is Always yes lol

If they come out with this in Teal or any pastel colors, I'm a goner.

Woman Considering a Rolex Daytona — Would Love Input

I love the look of the oyster flex bracelet because it looks super sporty and casual. But as @BigAkoya says the metal bracelet goes with more. Though in the end I’m guessing you will go with what your heart wants (@eternallove4bag) and maybe you’ll end up adding two Daytonas to your collection. People that get them usually love them. (I wear a SS datejust daily and love the SS bracelet because it’s so comfortable and sleek.)

HELP- Louis Vuitton Corner Hardware Bags Wear and Tear

Hi LV Fans!!

I've been eyeing the new LV Trunkie but have serious concerns over the wear and tear on the metal hardware corners. For those who own recent trunk-inspired LV pieces (ex- Side Trunk, Speedy Trunk etc) with the hardware corners- how is the wear and tear??

The Trunkie has so many design elements I love: Large flap, studs, black Macassar leather trim, magnetic closure, microfiber lining, chain can be worn multiple ways, lightweight canvas. Seriously what is not to love, sounds like my perfect LV bag. Link: https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/trunkie-monogram-nvprod6090072v/M14526

Would love your thoughts on corner wear and tear from existing owners for this and similar bags- thank you!!
I have the mono side trunk and no issues with the hardware corners…

Need help with VA bracelet sizing

I like mine as tight as possible without it completely touching my skin at every point. I can’t stand feeling it near my palm or too much sliding up and down my wrist and arm. So when I stack three vintage bracelets they don’t overlap much at all. Putting it on myself is near impossible. (Most people don’t prefer or advise this. lol). I attached one pic I could find. They kinda slot into the empty spaces which I like. But they are also so tight that they stick to my skin and people probably don’t like that feeling either. It doesn’t bother me.

Hermes and Fashionphile Sourcing

Was at Fashionphile pop up store at Irvine Spectrum yesterday and SA asked if I am looking for something in particular - I said yeah I am waiting for Constance to go Black GHDW in brand new condition to pop up. She said ‘oh I can probably get that sourced for you -
I will text our in-house Hermes VIPs to see if they can pull that for you from South Coast plaza’. I was like - wait what - she said we have our own team of 8 buyers who have established themselves as VVIPs using FP credit card - they can pretty much source anything you want from Hermes.

I mean guys ouch! 😣 and here I am, as many others, trying to make my way through Hermes system with purchase history not realizing I am competing with the very people who then I turn around and buy from at unbelievable premium when I realize that Hermes won’t pass me the offer despite high 5 figure spending.

Wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts on this? Are we getting completely swindled here by both Hermes and FP?
Would not confine this activity to SCP.

Loewe felt animal bag charm

I have the hamster with lady bug and it gets fuzzier faster than I would have thought. I tried to trim the fuzz a couple times but I feel the more I trim the less material there is left 😆. I also notice a few spots that have those tiny holes peeking through. Love to hear anyone else’s experience, but yeah I’ve moved mine to my least used bag - a travel amazona. Never gotten it wet either. And try not to let it bounce around a lot. And yet…definitely a bit of wear
