Is my bum bag real or fake?

Only approved authenticators are allowed to comment on items authenticity in the dedicated thread here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...read-1st-post-before-posting.926508/page-2095

on another note, its just looks like someobody got the vachetta wet / rained on thats why the colour has changed. Vachetta is a naked / untreated leather and that is why it changes colour.

Shipping difficulties to apartment?

I’ve had other things sent via UPS that I had to sign for but was not home when delivery was attempted. They ended up leaving it at a UPS facility after two attempts and told me to come get it.

Do you know for certain they would send it back just because you’re not home? Seems like lots of packages sent via signature confirmation would be returned to sender if that were the case.

I actually just checked the UPS website and apparently they said they will hold it at the local store for 5 days after 3attempts before sending it back. I am just not able to reroute it myself because I needed the invoice number from slip which they didn’t leave. Just misleading because LV told me otherwise and so did the UPS agent I spoke to so I’m still unsure.

Question about different seasons and same bag

Hi everyone. I’m unfamiliar with how SL does different seasons. I want the Baby SDJ in Fog croc embossed. In store for 2020 it’s $2750 plus tax but I found one on Fashionphile for a lot less but it’s from 2016. It’s says it’s in Fog as well. My question is, are there any subtle differences I should know about? Should I save $1000 and buy it on Fashionphile or what would be a reason to buy at full price? Thanks for the advice!

Cannes or Petite Malle Souple

I have had both of these. I’ve bought and returned the Cannes bag twice now. Although I love the look of it, I really wanted to be able to wear it crossbody and felt it stuck out too much. so, I probably would have only been able to use it for hand carry. I ended up getting the Vanity PM in its place.

I bought the Petite Malle Souple a couple of weeks ago. I am curvy and find the strap too short for me to use as a crossbody because of where it attaches to the bag. So, I plan to use the strap with my Multi-Pochette instead (which works well for me as a crossbody). This works out perfectly for me, however, since I was planning to buy the black strap on its own when it was released later this month. Since I was planning to buy the strap, and the rumored price is $930, I justify that the Pettite Malle Souple bag only really costs $2000. ;)

I ended up ordering an adjustable black leather crossbody strap from Mautto to use with the Petite Malle Souple.
super delayed on this, but i just got my bag and was wondering what width size you purchased for the Mautto strap? i’m having a hard time deciding on what would look best with the Petite Malle Souple. thank you!!

How much would you pay for a vintage Kelly?

Another question is: do you want to wear it with the shoulder strap? If so, and if your bag doesn't come with one, Hermès can make you one (special order), but it will be expensive and probably take several months or even a year and you probably have to send the bag in for that. I found a beautiful Kelly 28 from the 90s, and I was contemplating buying it, but ultimately decided against it because of this issue. For the price of the vintage including the special order strap I would get one in better shape, with original strap.
And yes, the price varies a lot depending on the shape of the bag. I would never get a bag with cracked leather, the chances that it can't be restored properly are huge, but these kind of damaged bags still go for a lot of money on the second hand market. Of course, Hermès can help you out and completely replace the damaged parts, but this might me more expensive and time-consuming than getting a bag in better shape in the first place. A Kelly for under 2000 will most likely be in unbelievably rough shape, regardless of its age. It is not easy to see from the pictures if the leather is damaged beyond repair. I would only get a bag with some kind of buyer protection, ask the seller very specific questions about the condition of the bag before buying so you can make a claim if it doesn't fit the description, and get the bag autenticated as soon as you have it. Good luck!

Mini pochette vs xmas edition mp - what fits

In my experience, the regular MP and Xmas animation MP’s are the same size.
Thanks for the info! I guess the US website has the wrong dimensions lol

I have a pochette that is in between the size of a MP and a PA. I believe it came with a bucket bag? Got it from FASHIONPHILE and it is awesome. I use it as a catch all usually but it also fits my iPhone XR with no problem.
That's a good alternative, thanks!

How to remove makeup stain from fabric lining ?

If you do a search on make up stain, there are a variety of recommendations from micellar water to making a paste of . . . But, I think many of these are for leather linings.
also, I would take it to a trusted dry cleaner or bag specialist before attempting home remedies Depending on the value of the bag and your tolerance risk (mine is actually relatively high)
for a prestige brand, you can also try doing a search in the individual designer forum.
Good luck!
