Question re CA’s, their etiquette vs online sales

Exactly this! She didn’t order it for me so I had to get it from somewhere..!

Anyway, I don’t even want to message her anymore and she didn’t even bother replying to my last message where I’d explained it wasn’t intentional and I apologised if I’d offended her in any way.
Yeah I know, I’m prob too nice but I genuinely feel bad. My hubby was so shocked and said to me this is very childish and not professional at all!
This whole saga has completely put me off LV tbh, left a bitter taste in my mouth as though it’s OK to talk to customers like this. Luckily I’m not a fan of any of the other collections, so I’m safe as I feel my stress and anxiety has got so much worse during this time!
I’m so sorry this has turned you off. What a shame and what a jerk.

Wanting a Picotin 18 in France or Denmark, how hard is it going to be?

As you can tell I´m new to Hermès, only wore their perfumes for years, been eyeing the scarves, I have one lipstick, one bracelet, and this would be my first bag.
So I have seen them available on Vintega for 4-7k€ for an Etoupe which is too much IMO. But I don´t know many trusted online sellers.
I look on the Hermes website for both countries and can see different, other types of bags showing up.
I only bought a bracelet back in France in my hometown and the SA told me to just come by the store regularly and ask for what they have available at that moment.
Also I want it in Etoupe, perhaps Gold.

WMOP 10 Motif Necklace Wear and Tear

I purchased a WMOP 10 motif and it is so beautiful! What is the wear and tear like on this necklace if worn regularly but carefully (no water, lotion, perfume, etc.) after a few years? I read a lot about issues with the gray mop so I avoided that stone and thought the white one would be safer. But then, I saw a reviewer on youtube mention that on her wmop 10 motif, the 4 motifs on the back of the neck, closest to the clasp, have lost their luster even though she is very careful not to get it wet or exposed to creams/fragrance, and does not wear the necklace often. It is an expensive piece, so even though it is beautiful, if it is that sensitive I might just return it for the juc collar necklace instead :sad:
Body oil can lose its luster. Thats’s why I never considered WMOP specially in 10 motif because if I something happens to one motif, VCA will not replace 1 motif only they will have to replace all motif which applies to some stones including WMOP. When it comes to WMOP, i’m ok with purchasing the sweet size because its so tiny the pearl itself won’t touch the body unless I get super sweaty while wearing it and might also consider the vintage pendant because if I want the stone to be replaced later on at least I only need to pay for one motif replacement.

Help decide on Hermes Evelyne 29 color!

I have a 29 etoupe and wear it everyday. Best bag. If you like a color stick with it. I have 3 gold bags and would add more 😂
So true! I recently got a TPM in Rose Texas because I was obsessed with the colour, but I still wear my Etoupe TPM daily and haven’t used the Rose Texas yet.
Seems like Etoupe is my go to. But I do love the look of gold too. So versatile, goes with everything! Just like Etoupe ☺️

Chanel Caviar Quilted Double Flap Beige What size?

I have a small and love it but thinking if I get another one it will be a medium. I feel the medium makes it a bit more casual?

I’ve had the Small for a few years now and have absolutely loved it. About a month ago, I added a Medium to my collection and love that one too. Personally, I don’t find one to be more or less casual than the other. My Small is in Beige Clair and the Medium is black, so they feel quite different color-wise—but in terms of styling, I don’t see a big difference in formality. Because of that, I don’t think I’d get both sizes in the same color—they’re similar enough in look that it wouldn’t make sense for me. I plan to use the Medium when I need to pack a little more or just want a carefree black bag. Both sizes are great.

Chanel SA rant

I also wanted to say that you can also track stuff down on the Real Real and Fashipnphile, if all else fails. I feel you, I sometimes can't let stuff I missed out on go and I haven't been pregnant in 16 years. (When I was pregnant, I once cried because the pretzel place did not accept AmEx.)

That's an excellent idea!! I have been following Vestiaire Collective but will keep an eye out for those shoes on Realreal and Fashionphile. I have requested my SA at home to track them down too. If nothing works, then I'll make peace with it and hope another pair of Chanel shoes catches my fancy in future.
I totally see the rollercoaster of emotions with pregnancy. I didn't know it was a thing so it's taken me by surprise. We are afterall humans with little to no control over hormones especially during pregnancy. Thank you for sharing! 🌸

$6k to spend at BV; advice

Andiamo $4.5k in the mini size so you can wear it day to night and hands free with the shoulder strap that can double up and crossbody. Or if you’re feeling extra fancy the Andiamo with the metal and leather chain. Then add a pair of shoes or a belt for fun! Boom. $6k gone 😭❤️
I’m not a huge Andiamo fan for some reason. I like the clutch and am into the large a bit slouchy but not excited by the more regular sizesz
