necklaces are my favorite type of jewelry. I agree with the others about the trinity range having some great options. I like to limit getting too many pendant necklaces as I like to layer and keep things cohesive.

I recently added the small clash necklace in yellow gold, I find that it goes well with my Van Cleef pieces as well. the santos chain is currently on my list.

I wish the ecrou had more options for necklaces.

Can anyone ID this dress, please?

I bought blue agate 10+5 when it was released in 2018. It is still as pretty today as it was almost 7 years ago.

I think mine is like that, I bought mine around 2012. I can shot a pic when I am back home after Easter.

I have a lucky bracelet instead and the swinging of the little vintage motif distracts me too much. I ended up wearing it as part of a necklace. It is a very versatile piece.

I tried on the pave piece and I cannot look away from the piece on my wrist as it was so gorgeous. Too distracting for me and imagine if I was crossing the road. So, I didn't get it ....

So many gorgeous pieces you have 🤩. The magic paved is THE most amazing magic bracelet. Also saw it in my boutique but couldn’t pull the trigger. .. Full paved pieces are so expensive. I bought my magic paved ring at that time (they had a complete set as it was a little event for magic pieces and my SA told me they first tried to sell it as a complete set. But after a few weeks they accepted to sell them separately 😙)

I’m trying to plan my next bag purchase. I was browsing in Saks & impulse purchased a Loewe Puzzle, but have since returned it. I LOVED the leather on the bag, so I am in search of something just as nice. I saw the LV speedy soft 30 and I fell in love. I can afford it, but hate the thought of spending so much on a bag.
So with that in mind, can anyone recommend a leather bag with suede lining?! I’m open to any shape or size.

@fayden used to own a Papier crossbody bag by Balenciaga that had a suede lining.

Loveeee chalcedony for its striations and icey lavender tones. Congrats on your beautiful bracelet!

I just bought a 24/24 29 in 3 colours and a 24/24 21 in gold. I think they are going to be my favourite bags. They are perfect for everyday and have a lower profile than the KB. The 21 fits a lot of things and I love the long strap. I don’t find it difficult to close and I would definitely buy again😄

Congratulations!

Considering the same bag. Did you keep it? How do you like it?

Click to expand...

Yes, kept the bag and love it! Dresses up and down. There is an issue with the shoulder strap detaching but as long as you straighten it out, it’s a non issue as a temporary measure. My CA said they will send it to be fixed when I am ready…. At end of summer.

For sure , pregnancy and childbirth and a newborn are exhausting

If a jeweller you trust said it's okay, and it's made with solid 10K gold, I'm sure it will be fine! Tho in all honesty, $470 seems on the high side for this amount of 10K gold. But if you love the design it's worth it.

I've tried on one of their lab diamond tennis bracelets a few times and was quite impressed for the price. I think all the negative buzz comes from the fact it's a "mall" brand and perhaps people are buying relatively expensive items from them like e-rings and expecting too much.

Been eyeing this, but not sure... Colors I feel are a bit limited.. but then this one? Anyone have this and can comment how it carries?? I am liking the inside zipper.

The square is very pretty and I wear it to the office during the summer. However, it is very impractical for every day- when I go for a walk in the city, a walk on the beach, on trips... it is hard to pack. The classic Basket is for me exclusively for the beach or pool or when I go on a summer picnic…
I know “the slit pochette” is a small bag, but I find it practical for every day and easy to pack in a suitcase. How many things fit in it?

I tend to very travel light, so maybe not the best person to ask, but there are several YouTube videos reviewing the bag and sharing what fits, such as this one:

I just got this from ChatGPT as being a bit too lazy to look up each annual report but assuming this is accurate then can see the revenue growth and better margins would be attractive to investors vs LVMH slowing growth

Metric​	LVMH (2024)​	Hermès (2024)​
Revenue	€84.7 billion	€15.2 billion
Revenue Growth	+1% organic	+15% constant FX
Operating Margin	~20%	40.5%
Net Profit Margin	~14.8%	30.3%

ChatGPT cites sources. Have a look at the source.

I noticed recently that they removed the option for 'original natural leather' for the body and gusset.

I know one of our local flagship stores has a tray of leather panels and handles that you can play with to see and feel how the leather will look together, so you can see them in person if you're near one of those stores.

From seeing other people's photos, the finished product looks so much better than the online generated mockups.

lol! He nails it.

This thread is so helpful and also exactly what I was looking for before my SO appt! Have your nata and Craie chevre bags generally held up well over time in terms of wear / tear and color transfer?

Click to expand...

I got mine recently. I’ll have a report back a few years later.

I’ve been wanting a bum bag ever since I missed the OG version. I was on the fence with the monogram Highrise because it seems to have issues with cracking. This new Highrise PM is beautiful and I am seriously thinking of purchasing it in Summer. There isn’t any reviews or comparison vids online. I’m dying to see the inside, what it holds and a side by side of the PM and that monogram version as well as any pros and cons to the PM. I hope we get some reviews soon!

Got in the last slot today couldn‘t attend earlier since I was just back from my family trip… had so much fun and was still able to get these lovely items

yes the wallet already had a stamp and CA was well aware. What was weird was that while I was chatting with the CA she seemed fine with hot stamping and was suggesting the location of the stamp on my wallet until I brought up the location exclusive stamp, then everything went south

I think that policies have changed on the special store stamps. I once was able to have my store manager get me a luggage tag stamped from a different store that I really wanted to add to my collection. I guess it was a bit of an ordeal and controversy to have it done. My understanding is that they will only do it now if you are in that store and purchase the item from that store. But again, others may have different experiences.

I wash mine in the washing machine on the delicate cycle as well.

For me, always go with classic, so my vote will be speedy. Good luck on deciding and happy birthday..

I would like mine to be a Kelly 25 Sellier GHW in Gold, as I do not have that size.
Craie and Nata are both beautiful colors, I have realized that depending on the leather they can look more white or yellow. It would be good to see them on the little leather samples that they hold at the store in the SO box, that should help you making your decision.

Thanks for your share. I have a Birkin 30 and a Picotin in Gold color. I really like this color but I try to not duplicate the same color for the moment in order to have a different color palette with different bags too. But Kelly 25 in Gold is always a perfect choice.
I tend to the Craie color, epsom or veau madame, or maybe chevre if available, as I do not have any white-ish bags.
As I will not use it on a daily basis, hope I won't have any problem with color transfer.
Nata seems really beautiful but maybe too "yellow" if I want to wear it with white or beige clothes, especially with gold hardware.
I have to compare them in daylight at the boutique.
