Speedy 20 black or beige strap

Misha333 said:
Not sure why would they tell you something like this ⁉️
Vachetta and other strap options are readily available for purchase online. I think this one in the attachment would work for the speedy 20. I'm planning to get the same in Ebene for mine for versatility.

On the European website it is still unavailable, unfortunately.

What is the Best Way to stitch Hand Bag at Home?

X
papertiger said:
For leather bags, it's a whole art and specialist tools. Price wise it would be easier to buy a great bag pre-loved.

My mother used to make tote bags from leftover fabric from her dressmaking and other projects.. Narrow ones to carry water bottles separately or rectangular for shopping. This was at a time when no-one did them commercially.

Two points I remember:

1. The stress-points are the handles. Consider reinforcing them and the body by going around the entire bag (like an Hermes GP).

2. It's easier to make the body inside out, and if you're looking for guidance or troubleshooting help, resources like https://poshmark.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html can offer insights. Overlocking the seams helps protect the stitching that does all the work.

Start with sturdy fabric like canvas or faux leather and use heavy-duty thread. A walking foot on your sewing machine helps with thick layers. Reinforce stress points with backstitching. For structure, add an interfacing or stabilizer. Try a simple tote pattern to begin with. Many free ones are online. Use clips instead of pins if working with leather.

Evelyne TPM on plus-size person?

Luxbagger said:
Good point! Usually I don’t care as much about matching bags to body type, but at the Hermes price point, I wanted to be sure it wouldn’t look silly! 🤪

I subscribe to the buy and wear what appeals to YOU approach that many on here have suggested.

If you still feel unsure, from a size/proportion point if view,
make a cardboard mock-up or
source a really inexpensive (cheap 'is such an unmusical word')
but similar bag and guage how it feels. Time or money well spent.

Wish Bag Which?

Can’t believe I’m writing this but my wish came true over the weekend! 🥰

What does everyone think of the B30 vs B25?

Etoupe or gold?

I love this combination and already have a P18 Etoupe in GHW so I think this B30 is perfect but wish I could compare to the B25 size properly!

Any twilly recommendations please?
Click to expand...
I have this exact bag and it is probably my most used B30...it goes with everything, holds all that I need for a day out (including my laptop if I'm heading to the office) and I can carry it on my elbow (not so with my B25). Congrats on this perfect Birkin!

Not much of a twilly on bags person so no recommendations I'm afraid.

Chipping/scratch on new Hermes Kelly hardware?

H
Charm said:
If you're going to keep it and use, then you could consider getting new hardware but bear in mind with use, it will get scratched up anyway.

If you sell, disclose these small flaws and see what happens, it might bother some people or it might not. If it's someone's dream wallet, it might not matter.

You ' could' take it into Hermes where you bought it and ask for their advice, as you haven't used it, how much would new hardware cost and how long to do etc. It might even be a quality control issue which has happened to others, so could be worth asking but to not expect anything to be done after all this time, but it might be worth a try.

Thank you for your advice! I appreciate it :)

Help me decide between these wallets...

L
I would like to include more slg's in my collection. Currently I have a Sarah wallet in DE. I would like to add another wallet as well. I am considering the Zippy in mono with fuchsia interior, the clemence in mono with fuchsia interior or another Sarah in the mono with fuchsia interior. Obviously, I would like one with the fuchsia interior, lol! I'm wondering if anyone who has or currently owns the zippy or clemence can tell me about the weight of the wallet, as well as any issues, etc. As always, thank you everyone!

Aged gold hardware wear and tear

prissymissy_
I’ve noticed that Chanel has been incorporating a lot of aged gold hardware into their handbags recently, and I’m curious to hear how it has held up over time for those who own pieces with this finish. When browsing the preloved market, I’ve often seen aged gold hardware fading to silver in high-contact areas, such as the CC turnlock. Before making a purchase, I’d love to hear from others about their experiences with aged gold hardware. Thanks in advance!

Aftercare will repair any damage?

L
roflecones said:
I've had two occasions dealing with Dior aftercare. One time more recently, I had an embellished saddle bag where a few pearls had fallen out. I sent a photo to my store and they asked for me to bring it in so they could fix it. The store manager even offered to covered shipping to store and they repaired it without any cost. I only had the bag for a few months so that may have factored into the service being complimentary.

Another occasion a few years ago I had a very small color transfer on a light colored lady Dior. I dropped it off at the store and they said they would send it off to the workshop to see what they could do. It was only a few days after that they called me to say they were able to clean the bag and that it's ready for me to pick up. This also didn't cost me anything, and the bag looks great.

The SA you were speaking to sounded like they wanted to sell you the bag using aftercare as a selling point, but based on my personal experience their aftercare is quite good.

New large buckle hobo looks a lot like a Nikki

madbrinks238
It’s been a really long time since I’ve been back to the RM subforum and I gotta say—I surely hope Rebecca Minkoff brings back the styles that made me fall in love with her brand in the first place. It’s sad that she just stopped making the handbags that put her name on the map—like the MAB/MAM, the Nikki, the Matinee; just my opinion. That’s great her business has grown to what it is now, but I really miss the days when I looked forward to the leather colors/what interior linings she’d be using for the bags that would come out every season

Best Alhambra Pendant For Daily Wear?

Sophie0121
I would say it depends on how you feel confortable. A paved piece is for everyday - even 24/7 if you'd like 😏. I love my bling and am more than comfortable to wear it every day
But you have to be comfortable with wearing it. If you feel good and happy with WMOP WG it is very classic and as you had already MOP you know how it comes with wear and tear ….

VCA resale value

spaul said:
She would get a better offer from a direct buyer as this one is a very looked for 2 motif earring ; I see in my country and UK second hand about 90% value resell prices (for professional reseller) which is quite high for FJ compared to other brands…
Yes it is the best to buy for yourself and not thinking to sell

Thank you! Yes, if you have the full inclusions is better to sell directly however it’s probably not an easy one to do.

Opinions on these two Rolex’s? TÍA!

I'm glad
Taty😍 said:
Thank you for your comment! That is something that I am afraid off! I was able to try a DJ MOP different specs, but the moment I grabbed the watch, the SA said “oh yeah you really want an MOP” and my husband also said that my facial expression completely changed ;)
Click to expand...

I'm glad you're going to wait for the MOP. The watch in your photos was beautiful but it's not MOP and that adds such beauty to the watch face, I'm sure you'll be glad when you get your watch that you held out.

Is the Burberry Hartford line short or did the dry cleaners shrunk my shirt?

R
MiniMabel said:
Is the length stated on the website?

That would be an awful lot of shrinkage; it looks like a child's garment in comparison to the one it's laid out on. It seems unreasonable for it to shrink that much. Have you worn it, or it's just been cleaned before wearing?

Are these dry-clean only?!
Click to expand...
I called Burberry and they said the length is 30. Mine shrunk 6 inches.

Color for clutch

D
ladysarah said:
I LOVE this sort of thread when people actually plan to use their acquisitions. thank you OP.

The best colour depends on the outfit. If you already have the outfit show us. I think of 'gold' as more of a sporty daytime colour, but again depends what you wear with it. I have a rose confetti and mauve sylvester wallets which I use as clutches for casual summer events with brightly coloured dresses. I'd love a black box for winter evenings.
