No worries if you can’t post an action shot but also wondering- do you like it for daily/casual wear? Is it heavy? I’d like this as an everyday necklace.
Thanks!!!!

* correction—- the ysl medium Nikki is 1.9 lbs according to Nordstrom‘s website

I vote Prada - more secure and durable, also personally like the style better.

Prada is good! Lightweight so durable and very cute

Agreed on the JUC w/o diamonds. Would chose RG as well.

When you go *with* diamonds anything else than WG just prevents them shining. I have both a Love pavé in WG and RD. What a difference Not to say it's a waste of money (might be the case at Cartier anyway ) but why having diamonds which you barely see?

Congratulations!!!
You got the best Chanel bags there in my opinion, in the best combination!
I also got my jumbo first but still had to get the medium so I totally understand your situation! We need both lol

Here's another useful comparison video (with the saffiano). I believe this youtuber is a tpf member as well.

I like them both and if I didn't find the re-edition in the baby blue, I likely would've went for the multi-pochette.

I ❤️both Prada and LV brands in general but I have to go with the Prada Saffiano because I had a nylon version of it during the early 2000s

It brings back memories of my ‘younger life’ in a wistful way...

My only Bal is not popular (with Bal fans) but I absolutely love it. I can't say I don't like the Moto bags, I do, but I just prefer on others.

I certainly miss Pilati days at YSL too, but make sure you check out his work at Random Identities

Random Identities is awesome !

Hi all
Thanks for all who advised me on the mini rectangle. I purchased one last week in black lamb skin and SHW. I do love the rectangle and all the different ways to wear it - originally I wanted it in LGHW but was told by the SA that that combination may not be back until next year and black minis are rare so I thought it would be better to get it before another price increase. Although I love the bag not sure if I should of taken the risk and waited for LGHW - I did think the silver would bring variation to my collection as my M/L has GHW. What do you think? Did I make the wrong choice Does anyone else own the black lamb skin with SHW - how does it hold up? X

Thank you for all the advice ladies, reading all your responses makes me feel glad that i went to the this forum first. Because i really loved the colour, i almost purchased it thinking maybe it will come off if i sent it to leather surgeon or something, but it makes sense now that this is not a good deal for me,all your input helps me, I should be patient waiting for something better,

Hello everyone!

Just wondering for those with a Chloé Drew.... Does your pin fall out of the lock when it's in the horizontal position? Mine only stays in for a few seconds before it falls out. Aside from this I'm in love with the bag and don't want to return it if it's just something that every Drew has.... But if it's a faulty lock then I'll seek a replacement. Thank you!

I have the mini drew and have never had a problem with the pin lock falling out. That being said, I usually keep the pin lock in the vertical position and have never had my bag open unexpectedly or anything like a that. I also did put a hardware protector I got from here on the bag: https://www.havredeluxe.com/products/chloe-drew-mini?_pos=2&_sid=0ad11d96b&_ss=r

What I did was use the excess from the hardware protectors and put it around the pin, perhaps that made the pin slightly wider so may also be a reason I haven’t had the pink fall out.

Spotted one on Therealreal today .... catch it if interested as I suspect it will not hang around! Is this the price you would expect to pay - I guess they are tricky to find now!

How about a Gucci diaper bag?

You'll find more info in the "Rumor, Louis Vuitton recall" thread. But yes, the empreinte speedy is one that had problems. Mine was actually sent away and got new handles, I think before LV realised the extent of the problem, Now most places just give you store credit for the bag rather than trying to repair.

I took it in yesterday and they gave me a store credit.... sad to see the bag go but got two new pieces!

You can order Apple products on eBay for sure, possibly Amazon too. They are worth it.

I have a Mon Monogram Neverfull and it has held up great. There is one tiny chip on the side that usually faces my body and another on the bottom of the bag but these are expected with wearing. I am generally careful with my bags but you also don't want to be overly cautious to the point that it affects your enjoyment of the bag. I got an animation wallet and plan on storing it in the dustbag in my purse.

I still have my rosegold pouch too! Still looks good to this day.

I really like liquid lipstick, or the kind that is "permanent." It just doesn't come off very easily, and it doesn't leave marks on coffee cups. However, I have lipstick shades I really enjoy, and I don't know if they have equivalents in liquid form. I've googled it, and I cannot seem to find a reference.

I can find a lot of "dupes" for name brands, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm happy to buy the same brand, a different brand or even a drugstore version, but I'm not specifically aiming to go cheaper. My intent is to apply the liquid form, let it dry well, and apply the lipstick over the top. That way, when the lipstick fades, it won't be as apparent.

At least that's my thinking. I have tried all the other tricks to get lipstick to stay, and I very much dislike the fade of some lipsticks. For example, MAC Diva is one of my faves, but when it fades, it gets much lighter and brighter. It looks like an entirely different lipstick. If I had a similar shade in liquid lipstick form, perhaps it would not look so different as it faded? Specifically, I'd like a liquid form of MAC Diva and MAC Sin, if anyone has any ideas.

Hi everyone
I received my celine trio from a preloved website today, and noticed the serial code stamp placement on the interior of the middle bag was in the opposite corner compared to my other two trios. I also noticed that the snaps are not the same as my other trios. For example, the back bag has the button snap that sticks out (rather than the snap that receives the button.. if that makes sense) Is this common and possible on an authentic bag? Or is this a sure sign I have a fake bag?

Errrr i’ve used it on corners of caviar leather shoes and all over a preowned balenciaga city bag. I found out about it in the balenciaga sub forum, they use it to re-shine the corners. It’s super sticky and not super easy to apply an even coat, so I wouldn’t do that all over on a caviar bag unless you wouldn’t mind ruining it (should it not be evenly applied... it’s kinda got the texture of runny glue). It will help to make the bag shinier but it won’t soften the leather the way like shiny caviar tends to be.

Thanks for the info!

I swear by charcoal bags. But you have to have plenty of them in the bag. Then it needs a few weeks to get rid of smell. When the weather is good, it's always a good idea to leave your bag somewhere open so it will air out more quickly.

When did u purchase this?

When i purchased my sunset medium, the sales person informed me that there is a lifetime warrenty on ysl hardware! 1 yr warrety on the leather. Maybe u can check in with the shop!

Oh no, did her purse suffer from water damage? My heart would have sunk if that ever happened to me...

It was a Prada Nylon bag, so no, but the contents of her purse did.

Hello! Newbie here. I've been lurking on the Purseblog forums for a while, but wanted to say that the Since 1854 collection is what made me a Louis Vuitton customer for the very first time!

I love black, white, and gray, but (as everyone knows) those aren't your typical LV colors. When I saw this collection, I fell in love! It's the first LV line I've been head over heels for since the Murakami days back in the 2000s.

The Since 1854 Neverfull MM is my very first. I purchased it in the spring. Last week, for my birthday, I purchased the shawl to go along with it.

The shawl is very well made. I did my research here, and don't think that it will snag or pull. Very satisfied with it and can't wait for cooler weather.

The Neverfull won't be my everyday bag, but I've worn it on a plane ride (put it in the dustbag before placing under the seat) and to a white party. The material is surprisingly soft and the interior is beautiful. I purchased an insert for it. The pouchette is nice for valuables.

I also love it as an investment. Considered the blue and the red (both were briefly available in the Neverfull when I first decided to shop), and they'll likely have better resale value, but I knew I'd get more wear out of the gray.

Just wanted to speak up for this underappreciated collection!
