So the caviar lambskin was sold before I was able to get to the boutique today. But the best news was they had one caviar calfskin classic WOC in black that had JUST come in. I purchased it immediately.

Great choice! This a classic item that always sells out! You got lucky! Enjoy

Hi everyone! I'm going to purchase my first YSL bag and wanted some opinions on which bag you think might be best for my needs. I'm looking for an everyday bag that can be worn crossbody and I typically carry just the bare minimum on a day-to-day basis (keys, cards, XS Max iPhone). I need something with either a short strap drop or adjustable strap since I'm petite. I'm thinking black with gold hardware but like the pebble color too. Please let me know your thoughts. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I think they are all beautiful (ok that does not help hahaha) but i recently saw a video on YouTube of Chase Amie where she said that the Uptown Chain wallet did not work out for her because it was just too small and she's now letting it go. And i think she loves the toy loulou (but that's in a different video). She loves Saint Laurent bags and she has several of them. So perhaps it can help if you check out her video reviews.

Just checked mine from a purchase last week.

Address (both billing and shipping, if different)
Phone Number
Last four numbers of the credit card number
Credit card expiration date

If the Celine small sangle seau bags currently being made have the same strap as the "old Celine" ones, then mostly no. It would depend on what height you are but you would have to be very short to wear it crossbody. I'm 5'7" and it comes up to right to my chest area and because the strap is so thick, there's not much wiggle room there.

Just wondering...did either of you purchase this bag or even check it out in person? I am considering the red croc version, but I can’t tell if the color is more of a brick red or a true red. I also love the chain detail and Saint Laurent does mock croc really well.

How does this one compare to the lotus wallet? I am contemplating between the two. The lotus has smaller dimensions but it looks like it can hold more cards from the picture. Anyone owns both?

That’s a lot of money for the repair. I just sent in my Speedy for new handles, piping and all new vachetta and it came to $540

Im assuming they included the piping and hardware in that quote?

I lurked for months before I posted because I was overwhelmed! This site has a ton of info. If you haven’t found it yet, there is Coach Clubhouse subforum, listed there is a thread for Vintage Bag chat, fyi
Not to overwhelm you, if you go to the Coach Shopping subforum , pinned to the top is a thread, Salearea Guides, that has a post that explains the the serial numbers used by the company over the years. After you read that, you will understand why the 7 digit serial numbers used before a certain date are no help in finding a style name.

Thank you Lake Effect. I usually take the time to research my bags but I had trouble with this one. I did repost this in the correct forum and found the help I needed.
The thing that confused me the most was that replies are like new posts so you have scroll to find them instead of finding them under the original post.

I appreciate your input and I'll check that subforum out. I was reading rehabs for hours yesterday. Lol. I love this place! Have a great day! Thanks again!

I was at a Burberry store yesterday looking for a particular Lola bag and the SA told me many recently released bags had been sent to outlet. Does anyone have contact details for an SA at Woodbury Outlet? Thanks!!

No contact Sa but this store recently renovated and a lot of merchandise is regular retail pricing. Hopefully you can get a Sa to assist you.

Hi all! One of these are next on my wish list in a nude color. Does anyone have both or either and can give some feedback and pics? Also Is sea salt in the Kate a nude or a cream? Sorry for all the questions! Thank you again ❤️

That’s really good advice! Thank you

Hi all,

have purchased a secondhand fendi zucca (my first fendi!!) and would like the fabric to be a bit stiffer. Anyone have any ideas or experience in what I can do to achieve this? without ruining the bag of course...

Or if anyone has any recommendations for a good insert that isnt heavy or bulky (and available in the UK), or even a good DIY suggestion, would be much appreciated. Would prefer not to use an insert though as everything I've seen has been too bulky and expensive.

thank you!

have been eyeing a fendi for years and finally found one

I use it on bags made from grained calfskin, what Chanel calls caviar. This leather needs little maintenance, so if it's in good condition already I just use a tiny amount of the product (I think it's called leather moisturizer) on a soft cloth and gently buff it in. I think if it doesn't work it's more likely due to false application, especially too much product, than the product itself. So I'd say it definitely works for caviar leather really well, it even removed color transfer on a light colored bag.
But I'm not a Chanel leather expert, maybe additionally browse this care thread if you're not sure, I know many wrote there they use Coach products on their caviar bags:

Caring for Chanel CAVIAR Leather

Ok, all you wonderful Chanel experts: My first Chanel is a white caviar classic flap. What do I need to do to take care of it? What can I use to clean it? Should I treat it with something? I am terrified to change the white color at all!:push:

forum.purseblog.com

(but some people write there they clean their bags with a damp cloth, I would not do that)

Thanks a lot for the information. I use the coach conditioner on other leather bags, for caviar leather always use damp cloth. I read somewhere that you can't treat the Chanel caviar. Your response give me a peace of mind. After saw some pictures of caviar leather peeling, now I feel no matter what kinds of leather, it is like our skin, maybe need some cream to protect.

are they going to discontinue the speedy? it hasn't been available in so long on their site.

I would say never! Did you try calling CS to order?

There isn’t a good one, just the huge table from customs, but it depends on how the seller categorizes it since there are so many thousands of options.
I think it also depends on the country it is being shipped from. Again, I’m not an expert, just going off of my own experience. I think we have a partial trade deal with a lot of countries, including Japan, UK and many European countries, but not all of them. In the lower tax rate case, I usually count on the tax being in the 7-12% range. For items coming from the Middle East or Hong Kong (and many other countries I’m sure), sometimes I’ve been surprised with a 25% rate for the same items I have been charged ~10% for origin from France, Italy etc.

Thanks, this is very helpful!

For the boy, I find the best combo is the ruthenium hardware with either quilts or chevron.

I totally know what you mean :yes:

If you’re looking for a small crossbody, but not tiny then I wouldn’t get the Felicie. It’s definitely a tiny bag. I would look into the alma bb. It’s classic and is very versatile. The croisette, saintonge, double zip pochette, or even the pochette accessoires with a crossbody strap would be worth looking into.

I just ordered the black marmont small flap this weekend and the order is still processing. I used shoprunner but that didn’t help. I called their customer service today and they have my order (I haven’t even gotten the confirmation email from saks.com), it’s just still processing and they’re saying it’ll ship once it’s processed but they can’t give me when that’ll be. Anyone else have long acceptance/shipping times with ordering Gucci on saks fifth avenues website recently? Just wondering how long I should wait.

I ordered a bag over the summer (July-ish) from Saks. It took a long time to ship. They sent a form email claiming it was some new software or something and that the transition to it hadn't gone as smoothly as they had hoped. Clearly this cannot be true if people are still experiencing issues.

There's the PDV GM in Damier Graphite as well. I think it's from an old collection (2014-17)...

I remember, it was available in a wide range of materials, even Épi, my favourite PDV, but they are being phased out. In the European sites LV only lists the Monogram

I understand your concern about the price, but remember, these are not laptop bags, especially the classic PDV. These are general business bags and all of them will be perfectly usable 20 years from now, even when we won't have laptops anymore. While a phone case will be obsolete in a few months with the next iPhone.
