Hmm, the pictures seem to have re-ordered themselves. The one that caught my fancy is the third from the left, at the centre of the top row. It has a big green gemstone and a lot of sparkle.

Ohhhh yes I see. I wouldn’t have chosen this one too afraid to break it 😜. But the butterflies on the necklace were extraordinary

Hi all!

For those who has Keepall 25 with the leather strap (NOT guitar strap), could you tell me the minimum strap length of this bag? I wasn’t sure 21.7 inches on the website is the shortest length it can go. I usually need the strap to be shorter than 20”.

Much appreciated!

I got this clutch last week and love the retro style! SA said it’s limited edition and apparently only 30 available worldwide. It was love at first sight! I don’t have a clutch and I know this is an unusual choice for a first clutch but I couldn’t help myself 😂

I it, congratulations!

I have looked at other similar styles, but I can't find this exact coat.
Others just dont "quite" have the exact appeal of this particular Chloe coat (the length, the spacing of the buttons, the lapel shape and size).
Alas, I cannot find this darn thing anywhere? Any advice is welcome to either find it or to get over it!
TIA

I was also thinking to get a second YG love to stack with my 4 diamond. I wanted the WG 4 diamond but hear it doesn't age well because its rhodium plated and they can't clean it the same way as the YG in the boutique. I'm also not a fan of the RG/YG combo with the loves. Sooo im in the same boat as you. Wondering if I should do another 4 diamond or without!
Have you decided? Have you seen the medium size?

I bought this before the medium Love with the hinge was released because I want to remove my jewelry every night. I love it.

Cute shoes IMO, you can take steps to make sure that your pants are color safe or wear lighter wash denim. That may be more effective. If you use silicone, make sure the product is specifically for rubber.

ETA: I googled whether silicone spray was recommended for rubber boots and it seems there are opinions for and against.
The pro silicone group seemed to favor rubber specific protectants like armor all. The con group said simply rinse, wear frequently, and keep out of the sun and away from heat (I do the latter with my hunter rubber boots) . . . I would be worried that silicone would get on the pants or be slippery, but you could always test on inexpensive rubber first?

Ahhh, that makes sense!! Thank you so much for even doing a Google search for me!😇😇😇 It's realistically difficult to try on the Gucci rain boots and Bottega mules, so I guess I need to look for other rubber items.

For now, I’ll clean them well, especially since I bought them in a light color...sigh. And as you mentioned, I will try to avoid pairing them with denim as much as possible. Thank you for the great insights! I’ll also buy the products you recommended, test them out, and leave feedback in the thread!

Gucci's white is nearly always nearly 'white'. It ages much better than pure white.

White's great because it's a bright and it's a neutral. My white Gucci is a Flora pattern and stamped leather. I would ask at Gucci.

Thank you!!!!

@Veritybelle may have the bolittle (I may be thinking of another bag she has, not sure. If so, my apologies for the tag). Both are roughly the same dimension, but the Bolittle has crossbody capability. From pics that I’ve seen, I think the KD 25 may hold its structure better.

I’ve only seen the KD 25 IRL at a glance (I was offered a limited edition KD 25 in Milan a few years ago and passed. I wasn’t sure that the wristlet was right for me, but other members have an Etsy hack that allows for a shoulder strap conversion.
My personal preference would be the bolittle, but IMO it’s a more casual bag.

ETA: have you thought about the sac a depeches 21. Less long and more square. It’s crossbody and adjustable and has an outside pocket. I think it’s more dressy than the belittle and less than the KD 25.

Thank you, I appreciate the thoughts. Very helpful. Yes, I did look at the Sac a Depeches 21. Love the lock hardware on that. I didn’t know it has an outside pocket. Outside pockets always get me excited!

Veritybelle said:

@880 is correct - I have a Bolittle in Béton evercolour (IIRC). It functions strictly as a very casual crossbody in my rotation, handy for errands. However, the strap is adjustable and detachable so you could use it as a clutch which would elevate it slightly. It has clean lines and curves with the padlock as the only embellishment (design cues inspired by the Bolide). It holds about the same as a K25 sellier, perhaps slightly more.

I don’t have a KD25 so can’t offer a comparison unfortunately. HTH.

Thanks very much, that’s helpful!

I'm sorry; I've recently noticed a few of my bags have small deep dents/scratches on the hardware and like you I'm not sure if there's a way to fix it ( other than reaching out to the brand).

They look amazing! No wonder your husband likes them, your legs go on for days.

Rose shocking chevre Jige and rose extreme epsom MK.

Rose shocking in chevre looks more purplish than pink and rose extreme is a chemelon that looks reddish in pictures but can look rather pinkish when carried.

If you are looking for a pink, go for Rose Azalee which I have in a Kelly Pochette. The Birkin is a Rose Tyrien epsom.

Beautiful collection! Thank you for sharing. Clearly highlights the differences in shades. Now I want the Rose Azalee 😂

Hello Ladies,

I am looking for a white tote for the office. I am petite: 5'4" and wear XS, there is a 90% chance you see me in a polished/ slightly flowy maxi dress. So it's important to find a balanced-size tote. I usually carry my laptop/charger, phone, small wallet, and a Mini Pochette Accessoires. Not too heavy but roomy enough to accommodate my laptop. I need it to be white, not cream as it goes with more items in my wardrobe. I drive to work and would use a zipped bag insert. I prefer shopping pre-loved whenever possible. I already have this YSL shopping tote and love it! I found these listings to start with, your feedback is most appreciated 😄

Contender #1: Chanel tote bag: this looks dirty/ discolored: any chance for it to be restored? Is it worth it?
Contender #2: Givenchy tote: this one has a crack per item description, I just see a dent, so I am not sure. It is significantly cheaper than the next one:
Contender #3: Givenchy tote: better condition

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply, I’ve sent them back and I’m now praying for the shoe gods to send some kick ass summer shoes my way🤓

Has anyone tried the Joy in Bag (Etsy) pillow shaper? Are they okay? I’m hesitant because I don’t believe they prevent moisture… or are the Bag a Vie ones better?

I’m planning to get the pillow for the Chanel GST since it’s starting to sag. I just don’t want the pillow to cause any mold.

TIA!

I like the bag-a vie ones as they prevent moisture.

They’re different fonts The one in the bottom picture is the same font as the “official” Alaia logo. The one in the top picture is not.

You can especially see it in the word “Paris”. The word Paris in the bottom picture lines up with the letters LAI in the Alaia above it. The word Paris in the top picture is much shorter because the font has less width to it.

Ah thank you!

Wow. My first post on this board and you sure made me feel welcome with the reply you have since deleted. Good grief. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Welcome. All members are entitled to post or delete, and I would advise not taking this personally. Some of us edit posts extensively and some of us have read enough threads that we are quite blunt.

The charcoal monogram eclipse is one of my favorite LV patterns, and I’m considering more LV purchases. If I decided to purchase LV travel items, I would not hesitate. But, I’m mainly a women’s RTW client and use Hermes bags, rimowa luggage. IMO bags are unisex. Wear what appeals to you.

The Cuore in red would be a stunning special event bag!

Having seen this bag in person, I can attest to it being absolutely stunning! One of few bags that has really excited me recently!

I tend to wear my jackets very casually, so not as fitted as the original look. First pic at store try on, I believe I had the sleeves shortened and second taken at a Dior event.

2nd pic is perfection! Love the cream on you.

Does Anyone have 3 regular sized love bracelets in all 3 colors? I’m debating adding a rose and white gold with my yellow gold. Feel free to post Photos and thoughts

Classic since you have the classic JUC. A lovely and time-tested pairing.

Thank you! Yes I'm interested in what they tell you
