Another vote for a private jeweler. You'll support a smaller business, get more for your money, and have something unique that is designed and made just for you.

Hi all! Received my new size small key pouch (love). I was surprised to see a date code of MM0285. I don’t see MM listed anywhere…. This was made in France. I know this is authentic but just confused as MM is not listed under France in the sites I check

I recently purchased this vintage Birkin 40, and the touret is located about 4 cm below the stamp, creating a gap between the logo and the touret. Is this normal for vintage pieces? Can anyone confirm?

I have seen Professors in a nice blazer with dark wash skinny jeans, a belt, and pumps. That’s dressy but casual dressy so a perfect in-between.

Did you try taking it to the store for advice?

Hi yes it will be considered a SO. So prespend of at least 80 k at VCA and you must get Paris approval which will depend upon your profile. This exact SO shouldn’t be that difficult but we don’t know when SO will reopen and when they reopen if we will need other qualifications than before …?
- You can find in the forum the thread about MTO pieces and they list what is available to order without Paris approval. MTO has sometimes rules about pre spend (~ 80 k ) but that is not applied everywhere in the world

EDIT SORRY NICOLE WAS MORE QUICK THAN I 😛

Got it, thanks so much!

I am sad to admit that I have never owned a Bucket Bag. I have always been a "Satchel Girl." Some of these comments though may want me to explore more bucket bags. I just might need to get one. Also, I cannot imagine a bag that does not have one pocket large enough to carry a phone these days. This, to me, seems essential. But hey! What do I know. I am just one one woman who loves bags in a middle of millions. LOL!

I agree with you about pockets inside a handbag. I've gotten very spoiled by the
standard Dooney interior pocket set up. And when there are fewer pockets, or smaller pockets, or no pockets in a handbag (whether a Dooney or another brand) I find it frustrating to use that handbag. Some Dooney drawstrings (and bucket bags) have great interior pockets, and sometimes an exterior pocket too. But some of the Dooney drawstrings
don't meet my pocket requirements.... and I don't understand why they made those
design choices.

Unsure for flap bags but vintage chanel didn't use genuine leather for interior. It was documented in YouTube when it was dissected by Leatherstein

Thank you so much! Looking at comments it seems like a "fascinating" topic, people say bags directly from Chanel stores are not authentic, I thought Turkish fakes only happen with leather clothes

Was it officially discontinued as of now? I know they were making less and less, but they still had some classic colors offered...

I called CS back in January and was told it was discontinued. At that time the Micro was no longer on the website. They connected me with a store that still had inventory and I was able to purchase one of their last remaining black Micros.

now im having second thoughts..
i usually remove necklaces if they are fine jewelry

It should be the other way around as fine jewelry can be fixed, polished, buffed. I wear my fine jewelry 24/7, only to take off for cleaning. Costume jewelry, on the other hand, should not be exposed to soaps/ lotions/ perfumes too much. If you want it to last longer, do not sleep with it.

I've always loved marquise diamonds. I didn't get a solitaire but a 3 stone with a halo. In hindsight, I wish I didn't pave the band. Have realised I like seeing some metal and that I don't gravitate to full pave pieces. When I wear this, I usually wear it on my right.

So if you've always love ovals shaped diamond rings, just do it! I always wear an anniversary/wedding type band on my left ring finger. If I'm asked about it (which is rarely), I just say no I'm not engaged/married with no explanation and they can think what they want to think.

(well it was a gift from my partner and my most special piece but that's not their business)

I also love the marquise shape. My favorite for sure! Your ring is stunning!

Thank you so much! Great to know that other Mikimoto pendants also do not have tags. It would be a nice touch for sure, but at the end of the day we can live without it! Thanks again.

One more thing, the Mikimoto clasp is way easier to open than the teensy clasp on my Tiffany Diamonds by the Yard. Who knew?

Sadly, I don't think your mother is lucky. Every detail is off. You can get good value vintage Cartier bags out there.

Not sure about the shoes but I have seen that hat in the US many times but in different colors

Shelby33 · Mar 15, 2025

I think that I'd a Tano from late 70s or early 80s.

I have a mini gate dual and recently got the medium flamenco clutch, both are in Sand.

Haven’t had a chance to use my flamenco clutch yet but the mini gate dual is soft calfskin. There is this one fingernail scratch but barely noticeable.

I use my mini gate dual bag as a crossbody and have worn it with denim/dark coloured bottoms and tops - No colour transfer whatsoever but I do wear the bag pretty high so it doesn’t come in contact or rub against my bottoms too much.

Sand is a beautiful color and one of Loewe’s best color (imo).

I did a board search and I’ve seen Marla Aaron mentioned as the OG of this style jewelry, but it seems the consensus is her pieces are wayyyyy overpriced.

So, where are people finding similar style necklaces as her pieces? Specifically, the baby lock and “not so heavy curb chain”? I’m looking for at least gold fill…

Etsy searches bring up a TON of options… but it’s hard to sort through what’s legit and what’s drop shipped.

Hi i found a used tank where they claim its one of the last produce and it has the warranty card from the cartier store from 2023, has anyone got any of the last released tank to give me an idea of the starting numbers of ref #? This one starts with 31.. I’ve been trying to find a barely used gold stainless tank to add to my collection, thanks in advance.

Okay I love this all over again! I'm just going to get this one lol.
The sales associate said it shouldn't flip on the tightest link!

Good to know! I think it will complement your other pieces very nicely.
As far as diamonds vs non-diamonds, I’ve heard no regrets (that I can recall) getting the version of anything WITH diamonds, but plenty of remorse on NOT getting diamonds.
Hmmm, maybe this should go on my wish list!

It's my second option. Just one thing I don't like about it is a thin strap

You’d be surprised at how durable those thin straps are! I carried mine on my shoulder (rarely cross body) and never had a strap break or fall apart

Which Ophidia tote? I have 2 that I use as everyday bags. The Ophidia tote has many variations. Which one did you get?

I did get the small one but I didn't like the size. Seemed small for me. So I returned it. Instead I bought the coach empire 35 caryall and it's beautiful 😍

Just saw this post from the show and was like WOW wonder what the spend threshold is to be posted to LVs stories as a VIC?

Apparently that’s just her actual name :facepalm:

Daniel Sandlers blush brush (Waterblush) is pretty good for liquid blushes, is not too expensive and is easily cleaned (imo)
