Thank you! I found 3 tshirts on Rebelle.com that have the same label except for the stitching in the neck so I am relieved.

Very very few designers keep them same material label all the time, seriously a small variation means nothing. If an item is very popular, they often run a new batch in a different factory

Last year I bought a leather jacket. I wish that I bought an AllSaints. Not terribly expensive, but stylish and nice leather. My problem was I don’t live close to my favorite mall anymore and every time I was there not one store had one for me to try, I don’t like to just order then have to return. I ended up with a Jakett, I didn’t think I would like it, but I really do. Washable leather, don’t think I would. The only thing is it’s thin. I ended up liking that best about it. When cold I could wear a heavier coat over it, or thin hoodie under it. Plus I can keep it on inside. I guess what I’m saying is try a bunch, you never know what you might like!

What a nightmare for you I'd call pest control AND use my essential oils and diffusers e v e r y w h e r e!

But please, in the name of your Chanels, contact an expert now

Thanks for the advice! How funny that you saw the listing! Do you think it was overpriced? I thought it was pretty good considering the retail is $10-11k. The few secondhand ostrich BBs that I saw had sold for over $6k.

I saw one on resale brand new for $2500. I was judging based off that. I found one on TRR and I think one other site. I only saw two though, they are harder to find. I wasn't even looking. I just remember thinking they were really nice! Maybe you can see this link, I saw this one and one other.

I've been keeping a lookout for reviews on the vertical version of the Rive Gauche but only found one in korean (sadly no english subs and I don't speak korean). If anybody has it please do a review

I agree, grooming is key, as are manners and confidence!

Hi, sorry for the lack of reply it's been a busy month! I did have some good, unexpected news though. I sent YSL some pictures asking what could be done, they confirmed straps could be replaced (at a very reasonable cost) but then offered to do it for free, I haven't even had to pay postage. Unbelievable customer service, customer for life now!

That's fantastic! Really happy for you! But annoyingly I bought a Sac De Jour on their website last year and I find the strap a bit too long. I asked their CS if they offer the service to punch more holes and they said they can't... Anyway, glad you got it sorted x

I would love that. I like the size of the Speedy 40, I have one in Mon Monogram. I'd love a 40 in Ebene too, in fact.

She's a beauty! I know you are excited.

L.K. Bennett Stila in nude patent very comfortable for me

I'm doing it for my own bag enjoyment too, I just could never afford a family of flaps any other way than to flip a few and use the proceeds to buy more and lather rinse repeat. And I always disclose to anyone who buys a rehabbed bag that I painted it and the strap is not original, etc... and provide lots of photos of the inside, etc... so I have not had any buyers not happy. I haven't bought any bag with issues I could not fix, at least to my own standards. Other people might not think they are as good as I do, but I am only making hundreds per flip, so the people I have sold them to are still getting a good deal, just not a sub-$1000 deal like I did when I bought it in an unpopular color/leather/etc, with tarnished hardware that I shined up.
So to be clear, I am not bait & switching any unknowing people, and I am not doing this as a job or anything, I just am buying low, selling a bit higher, to raise money to buy more.... and to eventually end up with a nice collection for myself, before I am sick of this hobby. At some point I will be tired of it and just keep the bags I have and be done with it. But it's fun for now, and I end up profiting several hundred dollars per purse, which is enough to then buy another fixer upper and thus grow my collection of rehabbed/vamped up bags that I enjoy very very much.

I have never bought a purse with poor structural issues because that is not something I can fix. I could possibly get it to look good for photos, stuffed to the gils to hide the poor shape, with a glossy sealed new paint job, but it wouldn't look good carried out in the wild, so I would never enjoy it myself, and I don't think most Chanel fans would either, so those bags out there that are crumpled and sad (because of the broken down backing inside the leather) I consider totaled and don't buy to rehab. I likewise don't buy any with tears, rips, holes, etc....

You will need to post on the authentication thread

Bought PSM April 2020, used it only three times as crossbody. Fraying on both bottom leather tab.

Exactly same as me!! Had it for 4.5months, used many times as shoulder bag but only 3x as backpack and noticed glazing is gone and the leather has frayed in the bottom tabs ☹️

May I ask- did you have to show a receipt? Mine is from 2016 and while it is not showing cracking or splitting of the canvas or glazing (yet anyway- I haven't used it much), the canvas does look shiney- as if it were deteriorating or melting. It is at the accordian folds so I just keep watching it. But it is a concern. I do still have my receipt and it is MIF.

I did not bring a receipt but they did look up my account to verify it was purchased by me. I think if it’s not on your account it would be wise to take the receipt.

Yes , as others have said, I would return it. Strangely enough I have two Rolexes, one SS and the other gold, and sometimes the gold one makes my wrist really itchy and I get a red patch. The SS has never done it.....go figure!

Versace

It has no competition IMO

Prada Psycho said:

Thanks! I'm really partial to the red one. It's the only leather lined (when it WAS leather) Gaufre I've had.

That's a very yummy red indeed! (I still can't wrap my head around that pleather fiasco! Like, why?? The jacquard lining was nice and cheap if needed to cut costs so badly...)

Every time I think I want another black bag, I remember that I have my DE bags, lol. I do not wear prints that much if at all and find that DE goes with everything in my closet. I am now retired and my wardrobe is definitely more casual. I do have the obligatory black bag if I need something more formal. To me, a black bag is just that, a black bag. It does not have to be designer or luxury to look good on the rare occasion that I may wear it.

this reminds me of the, "is it blue or gold dress???"

I see you had a lot of fun! Enjoy your beautiful items, so gorgeou!

Njeph said:

Yes, I bought the bag with the green strap and got the pink for $240.

@Njeph Hi, I also bought it in the khaki color but also want the pink strap. Will you be able to give me the SA info as well so I can order a pink strap? Please let me know. Thanks

First one !

Beautiful! I was thinking of adding a 2nd Chanel 19. Can you have too many? I am debating about getting my first 2.55 or a 2nd...

19 is a great everyday bag you can beat up. It's good for that!! I LOVE reissues, but you might think about only the 226, as a phone fits in the back pocket and capacity is similar to the 19 small?
