Some SAs are strict and only stamp luggage tags or the "recommended" parts of bags. Like the right handle tab on the front side on a Speedy, although that is the only tab on the Speedy that can be laid flat without anything being under it. But technically they can do it on any part of anything that can be laid flat on the machine and has enough clear area. But it depends on them and how adventorous they are. If a luggage tag is messed up, it is a $50 loss. If a bag... The strap is a cheaper game to play, but on the Neo Noé is it quite thin, and the form factor is also not the most ideal to put into the heat stamping machine. The easiest part on that bag seems to be those side tabs, where tha handles attach. But finding an SA who would risk and try to stamp them would not be easy I assume.

Thank you!

Thank you. That’s really good advice. Didn’t think to do that. I’ve had the straps on the longest.

Hey ladies, need some help.
Want to buy a serpenti as well! Hovewer, size m is too loose and I feel like this bracelet should not be moving along the wrist, and size s is a little tight. My SA told me the bracelet will get a little bigger. Did yours got loosen after some time?

Love the serpenti! I’m hoping to add the rose gold! My SA has been wearing hers for 5 years and showed me how hers is still tight and hadn’t loosened up! She just explained to twist it on so the opening doesn’t get stretched while putting it on, instead of sliding it over your knuckles(if that makes sense!?)

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I knew about personal shoppers for handbags but never thought about them for watches. It makes perfect sense.

Yes, there are brokers/shoppers for all high-end or luxury products (art, antiques, jewellery, watches, handbags, RTW, vehicles, real estate, yachts, etc) for people who don’t have the time, inclination or connections to track down what they want to purchase. There is however a premium to be paid for these types of services, in addition to the purchase price of the item. The amount varies by country, category of item, scarcity and demand: anywhere from 15% to 300%.

I'm open to suggestions so thank you x I also tried the medium Lady Dior in store but not the mini. It somehow didn't feel right for me. I will definitely go back and try the mini.

Sorry I meant I tried the small, I got confused about the sizes

Chanellover2015 said:
yes to this!! OP - do try the small door as well. I’m the same height as you and the small Dior works for me.

Thanks, I actually tried the small (not medium as I mentioned) but I think the strap is a little long for me, it sits below my hip when I wear it crossbody. I prefer on or above the hip. Is that the same for you?

You do have to downsize a bit from
the Boy to the Mini. In my mini‘s all I fit is my phone, LV key cles as a wallet, my keys, a lip balm/hand cream sample and a mask. If I put sunglasses or any other things I feel it gets quite stuffed and might mess with the shape and structure of the bag over time.

No this is not a dumb question. Chanel uses this term instead of pink/rose gold. It is a mix between YG and RG (according to Chanel). I don’t have Cartier RG yet, so cannot compare. I have everything in YG, but this beige gold is not so coppery (if that makes sense).

Ahhh gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!

i would say to sell it now if there's still a demand. at the rate that the prices are increasing, other ppl might be looking at other brands/models already. also this particular combi is all over the resale market and people are letting go for cheap.

My father worked for Van Cleef in NYC for over 30 years and I have many pieces and originals that he made for me. I also have an original heart Alahambra necklace. I keep all of my pieces in the bank, except for the pieces I wear daily. You can always bring them to the store but make an appointment.

I would love to see pics too pls!

Jewelry, even luxury brands, is not an investment. buy it to wear and bc it makes you happy

I can’t wait for the mini bag trend to be over

Hello, this matter got resolved. She realized it was authentic and she is happy with her purse. It was posted on another thread.
Thank you and Happy New Year!

It's probably best you just accept the return. If the buyer opens a dispute and you don't accept the return, eBay will refund her AND let her keep your purse. They've done it before. Have her return it before a dispute starts. That way you can examine the return before you issue a refund.

100% this happened to me when eBay was still doing business with PayPal. Thank god they handle payments themselves now!

Coming from the Damier Hampstead mm, the graceful just isn't doing it for me. The Hampstead had more space, super comfortable with double straps, microfiber lining and more pockets. *sigh*

I decided to keep the mono artsy because it looks and feels special. It's also so spacious and I love the microfiber lining and all the interior pockets it has (7). I easily utilized every pocket with keys, cell phone, 2.5 fl. oz. hand lotion, lip balm, kleenex, a couple other items. I carried my wallet, hand sanitizer, small bag of pens and glasses in the main part. After 4 weeks of carrying it, my shoulder is raw and sore. The bag is beautiful but not worth hurting myself and walking around in pain. This bag either works for you or it doesn't. It didn't work for me. :crybaby:

they will typically have well over 500 posts and have shown proven brand knowledge. I’d look for a paid service, good luck!

I recently bought a 22 year old speedy 30 from Fashionphile and it was in wonderful condition! I ended up returning it, but not because of the quality, just realized I would always rather carry my Watercolor Aquarelle Speedy 35. It all depends on the owner, not the bag itself.
