Dashing December 2024 Purchases

What a gorgeous bag! I'm considering getting it too. Is it significantly heavier than the regular Speedy 20? I'd love to hear your thoughts—do you love it, or have any regrets?
Hi, it’s slightly heavier than regular speedy 20 but still lighter than leather speedy 20 I guess, didn’t really notice it. I don’t regret buying it at all :smile:

Resin Glazing

I do! Thank you. I’ll stop in soon. Has this ever happened to one of your H bags? This is like a chip more than a rub.
I have had slight resin peeling (also on a Birkin) and it was fixed in under twenty minutes while I shopped. They just re-coated the edge. (This was several years ago, but I doubt the tech has changed ;).) I hope your fix goes well!

Kate 100 vs Sporty Kate 100

Can anyone out there explain the difference between the older Kate 100 and the newer Sporty Kate 100 versions?
I think the only difference is that the Sporty Kate is "adorned with the CL varsity logo giving the pump its sporty appeal while retaining the elegance of its namesake" at the back of the shoe...?

There's also the stitch by the heel that the other pair doesn't that echoes more of a sports-type shoe?

LV valentine collection 2025

I think Dior is taking the hit here in Asia. Every Dior store I see is always empty! Like really bad. There use to be a line or at least a waiting time to get in…now it’s just the sound of crickets. It’s rather sad. I guess they ask for it.
It might not sound nice, but they deserve it. And I wish that the truth would come out about every single one of them. Yes, the exotic Capucines all are made in Paris, or the Keepalls are now literally made by robots (they showed it in their own vids), so no human right violations there, but I wish we could see how the mass SLGs and the more seasonal canvas stuff are made.

Sorrento and Penrose Leathers

I'm laughing! The old, "I'm done... unless" thought.

I really wasn't restrained, but I did keep the bags that were the perfect size for me and where I had color gaps in my handbag wardrobe.

I spent a crazy amount of money this month on clothing and handbags. So crazy, and it seems a bit strange, but I purchased a winter coat off eBay from Ukraine. Actually, it goes perfect with my Alto dark grey bag.

You have to buy clothes to go with the great D&B bags.
Styling outerwear as part of an outfit is something not many people focus
on these days. Good for you! I like to coordinate the color of my coat with
my handbag and outfit when I can. Sometimes it's a challenge to dress for
style and weather at the same time. 😁 But I prefer a pulled together look
to the rainbow approach.

** Scam Alert ** Instagram Seller of Luxury Bags

Hi all




I wanted to share with the community about this scammer that I interacted with on Instagram. Her handle is @la.moda.plateforme. She supposedly helps people source for luxury products (namely Chanel). Her name is Helene.




Brief sequence of events





- Purchased items and transferred funds to her bank account in Ukraine (maybe that was a bit of a mistake ;( )


- After receiving funds, responses became much slower


- No shipment update was given


- After 3 weeks, she mentioned that her assistant had mistakenly sent my items to a wrong address


- She mentioned that once she receives the item back, she would mail it to me


- That was on 29th August. Since then, there has been no reply at all despite multiple chasers.



So, what I did was that I used another number and contacted her.. and Viola! Instant reply! I suppose she is looking for her next victim!


Anyway my monies are probably gone! So this is really to warn anyone that I can to NOT DEAL WITH THIS SELLER! If anyone else has been tricked by her, please comment here
The same exact thing happened to me two years ago. It was with a very similar account (same structure, format, style). The name of the

The same exact thing happened to me two years ago. It was with a very similar account (same structure, format, style). I lost over 3000 pounds. I also posted on here when it happened. Looking back the strange thing was that she did not charge commission. She said she would get tax refund 🤪. Also her instagram followers are all fake. Bought online.

What second wedding band? Overwhelmed!

Hello ladies,

I am engaged since New years last year.
My fiancé purchased two Setting platinum engagements rings from Tiffany, as he wanted one everyday ring, that was not too big, and I was able to travel with this one (also it was the one he proposed to me with, as it was easier to not declare it to customs as we got engaged abroad and he didn't want me to notice something was up) and then there is the second one which is bigger.
My finger is size 6.

Specs
1: 0,39 ct, D color
2. 1,01 ct, I color

I love them both and alternate whatever I feel like, the smaller one being more practical in my very hands on every day life as a doctor, dog-owner, training for marathon etc.

We have bought wedding bands also with our lovely SA at Tiffany.
He chose the Milgrain, and I got the 2mm legacy bead set eternity band in size 6. I loved that we both had milgrain details and it sparkled that much, I just fell for it.
Nevertheless it is eternity and I am scared that it might get too small some time down the road.
He tells me not to worry, we'll then buy a bigger one.

Now we are having our second wedding and I thought I might buy a second wedding ring for the second wedding.

I love the legacy full eternity on its own a lot!
I feel it shines more when it's worn alone.

So I am thinking about adding the Forever 2,2mm in platinum (full or half) or either a channel set full eternity (which i would then buy in size 7 and add sizing beads) or channel set half with baguette diamonds.
All those I would love to buy pre-owned via ebay.

Unfortunately they don't sell the baguette style anymore so I can't go to the store and see what it looks like worn with my e-ring.

Is there a problem getting the ring size changed when I am not the original purchaser? I feel bad for my SA, but the styles I want (except for the forever) are not available in store in my size and I usually wear second-hand all the time. Even my wedding dress is second-hand.

Maybe some of you can give me advice on what looks nice, maybe you have pictures, I cant really find much on the channel set full eternity with the Setting of pixmig’s acrylic album.

Any advice on full/half?

Thanks for sharing.

I can add photos later.
Your stack sounds gorgeous. For a second band, a half eternity or a full in a size up with sizing beads is smart if you're worried about future resizing. The Forever band pairs well with the Tiffany Setting, and a baguette channel set would give a nice contrast. Since it's discontinued, pre-owned makes sense. Tiffany may not resize if you're not the original buyer, but a good jeweler can help. Don't stress about your SA, you’ve already supported them plenty. Go with what makes you happy and comfortable long-term. Would love to see pics when you can share!

Wishlist Hermes Bag Dilemma - Thoughts

Beautiful bag! Sometimes even the preference of a certain type of hardware can change depending on how it matches the leather; I almost exclusively prefer PHW.....but have added a few GHW bags to my collection because it went so well with the color/leather itself. Congrats on your new Kelly!

Thank you! Yes I agree and honestly the PHW really goes well with the Blue makes it more modern and wearable. Simply the next one has to be with GHW but who knows when (if) this will happen.
