I just ordered the Coach Hadley Backpack. I was wondering if anyone had one and if it felt like leather and is it well made? Any thoughts on it are welcome.

Hi all! I’m torn between ordering the hammered 10 motif in YG or RG. I haven’t seen the RG in person so I’d love to hear your thoughts. Which one would make you choose and why? Pics would be very helpful too as I would love to see the gold tone. Thanks!

Thank ya. I couldn’t resist the sales and I needed all weather leather in my collection so I won’t need to wet my Florentine. I have all weather leather to carry in wet weather. I’m excited for the satchel

Hi All,
About 6 months ago, I found a hammered 5 motif YG Alhambra on TRR and grabbed it. It was quite a bit under retail, so I was surprised at the pricing. When I received it, I realized it was a bit small and someone had shortened it. There was also a fair amount of patina, which was fine. I decided to have it lengthened back to the OG size, which my other bracelets are and also authentication too. When VCA received it, then sent back that the chain needed to be replaced and the area where the motif and chain meet, needed to be redone. It just came back and when I went to pick it up, I thought it was brand new. Not sure if they replaced the motifs too, but I'm thrilled. Cost was about 800.00 for the work, plus the cost to resize.

Hi I’m late to the party but I have Perlee and wg gullioche and love them stacked together. I also have the wg onyx 5 motif that I wear stacked with the gullioche. Here are some pics. Also you could go panda and wg signature just a thought.

I absolutely love how you style these with your tennis, so gorgeous both pics!
It is a dangerous forum as now I need 2 more pieces didn’t know I need 😂❤️

We happened to be traveling and found both. For my spouse, she liked both but preferred them on opposite hand/wrist. Lovely pieces.

Thanks to everyone for all of the wonderful suggestions! I did some research and saw that Cartier has a burnished diamond wedding bands (the 1895 Wedding Band model) almost identical to the Peretti stacking wedding bands. Since this seems not to be solely a Peretti design, I decided to get a thin white gold burnished diamond eternity design from my local jeweler by the brand Gabriel & Co. that looks almost exactly like the Peretti band. Here it is! Thanks again for letting me spam these boards with my thoughts process on this one. I really appreciate it!

Great idea!

Does anyone know who designed this piece and what year? I believe it's a vintage 90s piece. A reverse search online only found one that was sold via Carters auction, but to view the data I'd have to pay a subscription. Thanks.

Hello saw this in store today! Not great pics sorry! Tried it on and it’s a good size but I don’t think would be as roomy as a carry all. I think the carryall would be better for a daily carry / work stuff but depends on what you want it for! It was very nice!

Thank you so much!! It's an unreal colour, I love it so much. I'm sure you also use your beauty all the time!

Guys ! I really really really regret to have sold my speedy B 25 Monogram last year 😭😭😭. Now i want it back and looking for preloved, but its soo hard to find since its consider as a rare bag in my country because common is size 30. Just realize It's rare and expensive, while i sold it kinda cheap 😮‍💨 my gosh ! Now i can only affod the classic one without the strap 😂. Should i go for it or buy the bandou which will cost me double the price ? Well i love the classic too, even I often carry my speedy handheld but sometimes the strap also really help when it needed.

33mm is the best size for the Ballon Bleu, imo - large enough to make an impact but small enough to dress up. It's not as popular as it used to be, but I think it's Cartier's prettiest women's watch.

Like, save them for her to play dress up in a year or two, or save them for her to wear as a teen?

I might consider dress up bags, but the odds of your tween-teen carrying anything you liked are very slim

Does the clover flip often? I think that would drive me crazy to always have the under side show.

I have both bracelets (other than my vintage hammered is RG, not YG). The answer for me is both eventually, as they are very different looks and both great pieces!

The sweet pave does flip often. It doesn't bother me that much, but I do turn them back the right direction when I notice it periodically. You don't notice this at all with the vintage hammered because 1) both sides are the same 2) the heavier weight doesn't seem to flip nearly as much as the sweet anyway.

If availability makes a difference to you, the hammered is probably harder to get right now and might take longer, whereas the sweet pave is in stock more regularly and typically comes in faster. With that being said, I personally feel there is a reason to eventually add both!

Get the rose gold! You already said you love it. Here’s the thing—- over time the color may change, I think because the copper content is higher in RG and it will eventually oxidize. I took my RG sweet Alhambra to the boutique for cleaning after wearing it for two years straight and it looked good as new! So it’s really just a matter of cleaning to recover the color.

Another way to go! Probably not comfortable in real life however...

Thanks!

Bag is from 2015! Production date was 12/14 so just over 10 years but it’s in excellent condition, so I’m happy

You did a good job! After weight loss, if your double chin remains and you notice a saggy, bag-like area, it is likely due to a combination of excessive skin, loose muscle, and fat. The best option is to have the platysma muscle bound, fat removed, or liposuctioned, and then have the excessive skin removed. If you are not interested in surgical approaches, giving the non-invasive procedures a try is pretty okay too. But it can only improve the double-chin and saggy skin to a certain degree. Hope that it helps!

Thank you everyone for your valuable insight.

I was able to connect with the boutique’s manager, who assured me I will be taken care of. She assisted me with a purchase this year, and just connected me with another advisor who will be more responsive than she is able to be.

She also noted my interest in RC and Pietersite, so I am hopeful it is possible sooner or later for me.

Still planning on visiting a boutique while traveling .

Has anyone added a strap for the Paris Bombay bag .On Google it says you can but have not found any pics indicating such .If anyone has managed to kindly can you post a pic .I managed to get one in 35 size in excellent condition in cuivre .Thanks

Thanks! Yes, I want to keep it clean without compromising the slouch!
