Echoing others. There's always batch to batch variation and the grains on togo will always vary a little bit. I also feel like togo from previous years are shinier than the more matte togo batches now. I have a togo B from 2019 that started out matte and over the last 6 years, it has gotten a little shinier with use. All of my bags are from the store.

I also wear the JUC with the Clash but thinking about getting medium Love to wear with the Clash.

I wear the Cartier trinity cord bracelet and the clash every day. I add the regular JUC on some days and I love how the 3 of them look together. I place the cord bracelet in the middle to separate the clash from the JUC which minimises scratches on the JUC.

I admire your dedication to a specific Maison. I'm not dedicated like that.

Oh I'm definitely not, but I never discourage my DH from gifting! I'd have never looked at these pieces until he brought them up.

I did the do! Woot woot! I finally brought home my new baby B, months before my birthday!

Gris Pantin was supposed to be my “second best” option, but boy oh boy, did it deliver (or rather, my amazing store director did)!

I'll admit, I was nervous before picking it up. What if I didn’t love it after all? What if I cannot move on from my Bleu Lin obsession? But the moment I saw her, all of that melted away. She has that quiet, gentle, steady look about her... and somehow, deeply right. I even teared up a little.

I wanted to share this so you can understand my mad quest. It wasn’t really about the bag itself. It was about what it represents. Last year, I nearly died from an illness. Post-recovery, I felt like I had lost all sense of joy. Nothing excited me: not bags, not scarves, not books, not even life itself. I felt lifeless for months.

Also, this is my first meaningful purchase since striking out on my own in January last year, something I wasn’t sure I could do. Holding my new baby reminded me that I made it! I survived, I’m independent, and I can feel joy again, even in the small “silly” things that once made me smile.

The greatest lesson for me? We don’t always get the exact thing we dream of, but if we stay open, sometimes second best turns out to be exactly what we needed.

Gris Pantin may not be Bleu Lin, but it is perfect for this moment in my life - and I'm even more stoked that the stamp is K (my initial)! Oh, thank you so much @carlinha for your gentle nudging! And thank you everyone for making this forum a safe place to share my silly moment of happiness!

Here are photos of my baby with different twillys (I'm team-twilly especially for my light-coloured bags).

Congrats on this stunning bag!

I’m still quite confident that VCA does not use such included diamonds. It could be dirt trapped between a prong and the diamond and the dirt reflecting off the facets. Try using an ultrasonic and a steam cleaner. Diamonds embedded in such metal heavy settings are really hard to clean.

Oh I get it! Thank you so much!

I love this thread!
I have a 1990 Saumur 35 that was a daily use bag for decades -and it shows :shocked:

Vachetta is cracked, canvas has chunk out of it, and a couple of other bits are cracked. A side strap has broken and buckle has come off.

Obviously can't send it to the LV spa so I'm considering getting the vachetta replaced at a non-LV place but just don't know where to start. I don't carry the bag anymore as it's too heavy for me, but it really does deserve some TLC and a loving home!

Wow, great condition. Unfortunately the First is too small for me. But thank you!

I can’t speak to your specific event but I would presume it’s an opportunity to peruse the offerings Hermes has available in the home and houseware category. I would further presume that in addition to items available online in that category (a good place to start a bit of research) there will be unique or limited edition pieces that will showcase what the artisans can accomplish.

Light refreshments are likely to be available. If you hate everything there really is no pressure to purchase, they want you to be happy. (I’m not sure whether you’re expected to place an order at the event or just tell your SA who will place the order for you. I’m certain that Hermes will tally financial numbers to track KPI and other metrics.)

I’ve refused most of the (very few) invitations I’ve received because I have had no interest in the category. I don’t wear a watch, for example.

Have fun :flowers:

Ole Lynggaard is a fantastic brand. I've admired their pieces here and was very impressed with their quality and designs. Looks lovely on you @kashmira

Thanks a lot! I love their pieces too but as I earlier in fact only wore jewelry in white gold, I have been somewhat restricted as a majority of their pieces are in gold. Now I decided that I will mix white gold and gold and I want basically everything :biggrin:

. I do think some of their pieces are somewhat overpriced (and prices have increased a lot during the last years) but I guess you have to pay for the brand.

We can be twins with the pink 25 when you get it heheh. Haha I don't want to worry too much but they are so expensive they need to be babied y'know?? But fair point on just enjoying it...!

And yes it is so sweet that your husband picked it out! My husband would never do that haha.

Feet on a white bag is SO important and useful, will definitely help you use the bag in a more carefree manner!

I only got the 25 bag on Monday and have been working everyday since so I haven't used it properly yet 😆 I did carry it for a while and got slightly annoyed at having to open/close the drawstring. My mom said, "it's like a zip" -- I don't like zipping my bags so yes definitely.. I'll report back after using it more!

The manager at the boutique who I’m friendly w saw me trying on the medium and when I asked about the small she said the strap doesn’t have a pad like the medium (they were sold out of the smalls) and large do so after carrying it for a while it digs in her shoulder and she would not recommend. I appreciated her honesty but I’m not running a marathon w the purse on. Usually I’m just running errands or going to lunch! But curious on how badly the chains dig in! Besides that, she’s perfect! I’m really petite so the medium looked silly on me… the only size I’d get is the small.

do you have any recommendations?

I'm sorry I wish I do but I have not tried shapewear in a few years and I can't remember the brands I tried back then.

I have this bag in black and absolutely love it (but also love the burgundy!). It's excellent for travel and fits way more than you'd think! It is often my grab-and-go bag for a quick errand. I don't think mine looks much different from when I first bought it in February 2024.

Happy to hear this! Do you use a bag organizer for it? I was trying to look for some sort of drawstring pouch or a small bag insert with zip/magnetic closure on top to use with the tote to make it more secure.

Hermes breeches don’t have any grips as far as I am aware.

What is ‘overly synthetic’ to you? The days of riding in cotton and wool are long gone. Out of curiosity, I have gone through the Hermes website equestrian section, and the only non-synthetic item is a 100% cotton sweatshirt (and I think it is Hermes Fit, not actually from the equestrian line). I am in California and while I wear a vest or a light jacket in the winter, I would be extremely uncomfortable actually properly going through a dressage class in a cotton sweatshirt. Trail riding, maybe.

If you really want to spend money on Hermes equestrian items, I like their brushes and saddle oil. I felt the saddle pads were not what I am looking for, but the ear bonnets are perfectly cute. If you are a leisure rider — which I take to mean you don’t own a horse — you may not wish to invest in those items.

I’m a leisure rider who feels like if I’m happy *and comfortable* with what I’m wearing (at minimum not made in China!) I will be more committed and possibly care to do more. We do have a pony - my daughter is a young equestrian and my thought is whatever I’m getting can / should last until she grows into it as I’m not buying light colors and I’m only trotting around a ring or trail riding for some enjoyment once a week.

No diamond is the right choice. Thanks everyone here for confirming and sharing your thoughts! It is so sparkly and eye catching on its own. When you realize you can almost get the clash Huggies with the money saved, the choice is even more obvious!

Have had my YG perlee sweet clovers ring for about 1.5 years now and wear it often, to work and daily errands. It’s such a great and simple ring, easy to use in any situation from casual to formal. Haven’t noticed any damage or wear/tear on it. I think it’s a much better option than the ubiquitous love rings.

You’re right that the love ring is a bit too popular. Thanks for your reply jk777!

You're welcome @LVlifer and have fun styling them! It's a great way of utilising the KP's as I find them such a practical slg and also getting your cost per wear out of them over time x

I have a monogram one I got in Nov. 2018. I've used it in all weather and it's held up really well. No issues at all.

DizzyFairy · Mar 27, 2025

Congratulations on a beautiful vintage chanel tote.. the market,as others mentioned is slowing down. I personally think $2000 USD is a little overpaid. But for such a beautiful condition, you have done well. Great size tote.

This is one of my RL50 bags, a crisp white quilted one. Heading out with it today because it's finally sunny and a bit warm

That is such a cute piece. Hopefully they will be in stores soon!

Medium 25 black caviar, $ 10600 AUD.

It can fit LV Toiletries bag.. Perfect for travel.. :tup:

The one online is the classic aged calfskin. The one you purchased is a seasonal 2.55 in a different leather. The second part of the code, B19383, is about the leather (first part being item model and last part color).
