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!

I am beyond excited for this one! I’m downsizing a lot of my purses, so really wasn’t looking to buy, but I’m so glad I did! I always wanted a rich red B bag, so when @vesna posted this one, I had to!! She even has all her extra stuff I don’t think the pictures capture how pretty and smooshy the leather on her is! And I love the style- the handles are generous enough that I can wear on my shoulder. It’s just a perfect bag for me

Looks to be in great shape! Beautiful color.

how much is it listed by the reseller if you don't mind me asking?

It’s a private sale from a family member who inherited it. We haven’t settled on a price but I expect to pay over retail.

This bag is made of cashmere and sheepskin. The manufacturer is a small company in Japan; I bought it from a boutique in Gstaad. I don’t use it every day (it’s a winter bag) but it has held up
well.

That bag is gorgeous! Cashmere and sheepskin together just scream luxury no wonder it’s held up so well. Looks perfect for winter.

what is your go to for leathers skirts? brand or models?
I am looking for a leather skirt myself. I had a leather mini like 10 years ago I wore sometimes not sure where it is now. I don't find myself in mini's much anymore. I saw this one and it got me thinking. I love the look of it!! I need to find a leather skirt lol

Anyone ?

I stopped by the boutiques and the SAs there told me Dior is releasing a new size for the D joy, most likely will be deemed mini as an in between of the micro and small D joy. It’s set to be released in a month or two? Or perhaps in the winter? Does anyone else have any more information about this? They weren’t able to tell me more. I was planning on picking it up on my next trip in Europe

Capacity wise, I’d think the Le City Small and Le City First are very similar. So it would depend on what features you like more.

Le City has a long, very adjustable strap. The corners are more pronounced/sharper, so while I do think the bag has more depth, it’ll be more prone to wear imo.

Le First has a short, non-adjustable strap. It can really only be carried over the shoulder or by hand. The corners are rounded, which I prefer.

Le City Small has a higher price than Le First, but I assume that is for the much longer strap.

Good luck on your decision!

oh those are great points which i would never have known/observed myself. thank you so much for sharing and congrats again on your new bag!

Looks like a gorgeous combo! You might be able to find real life photos of this watch on Chrono24...just do a search on those parameters.

I think if I ever wanted floral pieces I would go for the dolce and Gabbana fine jewelry version instead. It has a much better price point because no diamonds and they did it years ago.

Dear @baglover1973 Thank you very much!

They had a countdown on Tik Tok for this Monday where they referenced their 50th Anniversary but it looks like it was just a giveaway...still nothing on the website.
