Which should be my first VCA 5 motifs Alhambra bracelet?

Wow! The chalcedony looks so good on you! Your pictures have totally rest assured me that having a tiny wrist can look good with the bracelet and not be overwhelmed by it :smile: Thank you so much for the lovely pics. I think I'll try different stones in stores first!! :smile:
Thanks dear!
I am actually wearing the MOP is both pictures. Haven’t had the chance to wear the chalcedony as I haven’t been going out much.
Hope you find the one you love and can’t wait to see your reveal!!

Louis Vuitton + Concealed Weapon holster

Ok now I am home in Alabama and I can show my current purse carry. I am currently using my LV Boulogne and my purse holster fits perfectly. I carry a Sig Sauer P365XL and I am planning on purchasing a longer crossbody strap because I feel that carry a pistol in your purse any other way will not allow you to get to your pistol fast enough. That’s why I use zip top purse only and when I am out and about I leave it open. Flaps just take a little too long to get to my pistol. As you can see there is a flap with a magnetic closure to conceal it even when it’s open!

Deciding between two classic flaps... Opinions greatly appreciated! :)

I’m glad you waited! The beige is beautiful and by far the best of the 3. Congrats!

Okay I know sound like a broken record BUT I wanted to reply to each comment individually because they really did make me smile and they were very sweet. Thank you very much for your kind words, I’m glad you like it!

As weird as it sounds because I don’t know you ladies in person, your opinions mean a lot to me :)

Alhambra Guilloche YG vs. Frivole YG Earrings

Since they are both shiny metal, I do think they'd both work well with your pendant. I do think some variety in earring styles is good rather than having several pair of VA. But in this case, I definitely would try on the Frivole with your pendant before deciding. Obviously the matching ones would be fine.
Thanks for your reply! Yeah I think I will definitely go try them on and maybe lean toward the frivole and maybe just get the guilloche if for some reason the frivole just doesn’t suit me. Thank you!

help me choose a 5 motif bracelet

Hello, I am ona similar dilemma. So i have rg love bracelet and tried on the rg hammered 5 motif bracelet. It was too pink and I felt that stone pieces gave me more dimensions. After reading this thread I want to try yg hammered gold. Do you (or any of you) seen rg love stacked with yg hammered bracelet?
I ll upload some of the yg stone pieces next to my rg love. I like the carnelian the most for now (it changes everytime I go to try on bracelet which makes the decision really hard)
Btw, I am new to this forum, hope this is how you comment on posts. Thanks in advance

Which one should I keep?

I was in ur exact dilemma. I returned the empriente and kept the vachetta. I love it!!! I did put apoleguard on it and it didn’t seem to absorb like regular vachetta. It definitely is different. I’ve owned a ton of LV over the past 30 years. I’ve always treated my vachetta with great results. I’m not afraid of vachetta. I do think this will be less maintenance.
Thanks! This helps a lot. The vachetta worries because there’s maintenance to it but the vachetta looks treated already. I’m going to reach out to my SA and see what he says about it.

A little braiding anyone? New Artsy Azur MM & Old Artsy mono issue

Cracking on mono Artsy?? I hope that would not happen to my Mono Artsy , which is my first LV bag and it was birthday gift from my hubby. Last Sunday I just returned my 2 Artsy Empreinte and my close friend also returned hers , all bought in 2011. The glazing at side of the charm and near big rings for handle melted.
But we are happy that the value of our 9 years old bags increased so much , 66% for my friend’s as she bought her Artsy in France, my 2 Artsy value increased by 50%

VCA Vintage Pave Pendant

I copied this from a website on jewelry care (their bold letters, not mine):

"We do not recommend that any fine jewelry be worn in public swimming pools or hot tubs. Chlorine is a corrosive chemical - it won't do any harm to diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and some other gemstones, but it is not good for your white or yellow gold to say nothing of sterling silver."

Another (talks about wedding rings but would apply to any fine jewelry):

Which one(s) to bring to Vegas?

My husband and i are doing a weekend trip to Vegas next week... our first trip in 4 years with just the 2 of us... which chanel would you take?

For day bag i am debating, thinking to take 2:
- black lambskin rectangle mini
- 19 20B beige in large
- Prada 2005 reissue nylon cross body
Small Gucci Mormont flap in Red

Evening bag, taking one only:
- rainbow WOC
Or
-Ysl Kate velvet tassel clutch (evening bag)


I have purchased a 19 in 21C, however, it's very light. I may have a chance to purchase one in 20B. Do you have any pictures with you carrying your 19 in 20B Beige? I'd love to see how it shows up in different lighting.

Company trying to stick people with goods with hidden covid statement, what would you do?

I'm replying again to ask what you'd do. I got a response. This was it " I'm sorry it didn't fit well for you but we are still not accepting returns at this time. What we can do for now is offer you a discount of 40% on a future order"

I'm pretty livid. I responded back that it was deceptive that they didn't have final sale ANYWHERE on their product pages or the home page. Nowhere to be found.

Should I do a chargeback? If I took screenshots of their site, do you think I'd be able to get my money back?
I would absolutely call your CC company. Usually purchase protection includes forcing a return.
Final sale should be on product pages and 1000% should be at checkout. If one is familiar with a store it's natural to assume return policy remains the same, and if it changes, they should highlight it.

Post-COVID Shopping

Hi everyone- my husband and I are going to New York City next weekend for a parents night out. We are going to do some shopping at Chanel, and maybe a couple other spots, while were there. Do you guys recommend 57th St. or Madison? And what can I expect as far as the shopping experience goes. I already have appointments set up at both stores.

Zipper pull fell off TP26!

Thank you! Glad that you got your Poche Documents back.

I contacted LV via email and again via their WhatsApp service on the 6th October, and though their automated response still said that they aimed to respond within 12 hours, I haven't heard anything at all and it's now been almost three weeks. :shocked:

I know that things are far from normal at the moment, but I can't help but feel that this is extremely poor. I haven't experienced a wait this long for a simple enquiry, with any other company since the beginning of the pandemic. I can't get through to my "local" (actually a 60-70 mile drive) store on the phone, it just goes to client services. I'm wondering if I need to make an appointment to take an item in for repair, or if I can just walk in with it? I'd rather post the pouch in for repair, but it doesn't look like I'm going to receive a response from them at all at this point.
I’ve had multiple pieces repaired over the last 7 months and some did take 3-4 weeks before I got a response back, while others took only a few days. No idea why there is such an inconsistency in response time. There was one inquiry where I had to call Client Services and they saw that I had sent an email request to Care Services with no response for 4 weeks, so they pushed it through and I got an email back with an estimate and label that same day. Try giving Client Services a call to see if they can help. If not, you can always walk a repair into the store, no need to make an appt, as long as your store is currently accepting repairs. But I’d wait another week or two, and hopefully you’ll get a response soon!
