ahh yes i had the paris mini pochette but sold it for $450 and regret it haha but i still have the venice mini pochette, so i'm fine i didn't get any mini pochette from this collection. i think it's cute but i'm not in love with it and with the added price increase, felt like it wasn't worth it.

Oh what a pity, I wished I could have got that Paris mini pochette! How much was the price increase, I didn't pay attention to that.

Happy with flowers... But I advice to go one size up mules narrow.

Hi
I recently bought a new jumbo classic flap from a boutique and noticed that one of the links on the strap is not fully closed like the others. Is this normal?

Wow that is shocking! Happy to see that you got a great replacement.

Last time I went to the store I requested to see multiple bags to choose the best one.. but the SA was so rude about it. And every flaw I pointed out she did not “see”. Customer service is so bad at Chanel

I’m barely 5’ and have the MM. it definitely works. I actually wish it was a tad bigger since I wanted an oversized bag but the GM was just too ginormous on me.

I generally don’t like masculine bags and have never bought one. I wouldn’t like all bags to be grouped under bags because some stores show me 2000+ when I say show all and need inspiration. That’s sometimes too many and on occasion I give up. If that doubled I wouldn’t even start a search and shops may miss out on a sale.

At the moment I would imagine there are more people seeking separate gender bags than there are people seeking all bags which is why shops still have the distinction.

I think the gold hardware looks a bit nicer with the red, although it also depends on what jewelry you normally wear. If you wear silver-coloured jewelry more often, then go with the silver hardware.

As for shoes, I agree with @A bottle of Red .

I normally wear white gold or rose gold, though I've branched out more into yellow gold recently. Agree with @Egel that the vibe is a bit different with each. Think I could pull off either style, just matter of committing for this particular piece. Will think on it more, thanks!

Congrats on the onyx! It looks beautiful on your wrist!

My second choice would have been the hammered gold on you and the third choice would have been carnelian. BC someday, if you wanted to stack them, I think the hammered gold and onyx is a fabulous combo. I also thought it looked great on your wrist even with the weird lighting. ITA with the TPFer above who suggested guilloche for a pendant or earrings.

You are so kind--thank you!! I completely agree, I think the hammered gold would be beautiful to stack with down the line. The Carnelian, too! In fact, my SA was wearing the Onyx and Carnelian 5 Motifs stacked with a yellow gold Perlée bangle and the combo looked incredible on him. Needless to say my wish list is growing in record time lol.

I had the same issue and just took mine in for repair and they gave me full store credit

Did you end up buying any of them? I've been swaying between Linjer and Polene as well.

Hi!
We do not have an authenticator for Celine, unfortunately. You'll need to find a paid service.
Good luck!

I'm really curious as to what the Amazon Luxury store offers that you can't get from buying it directly from the manufacturer. I just requested an invitation

Exactly this. I also noticed the LV Amazon sells is well over retail, no returns. What's the point? Go to the website and buy a Speedy 30.

You could try shaping tissue paper or a small bed roll to insert into the handle opening to reform them. I’ve done this with an old favorite that my DD used and abused. Give it time as it does work.

Fab idea thank you!

I couldn’t decide on PM vs MM. with my advisor’s help, I decided on PM because I thought was more proportional on me. Surprisingly PM can carry quite a lot! I’m carrying PM in picture. I’m 5” for reference.

No, this isn't the same bag. She may have had this one too, but it's not the one I'm referring to.

Can you update now that you’ve had this for awhile? How do you like this for everyday (or however you use it)? Is it heavy? I picked this up in empreiente Noir. Was worried it would be heavy but I loaded it w everything from my Neverfull in the store & tried it out for awhile. It actually seemed lighter packed up than my empty NF and I was sold on that beauty. Hoping it works out. Would love to hear everyone’s opinions thats carried it for awhile.

Hmm, this depends on weather the tightness is from the toe area or the length. Does the retailer offer a stretching service? If not I would personally suggest a pair (or two) or super thick socks, wearing them with the shoes and blow drying. I know it seems so ridiculous but it really does work! If it’s just the toe box that is right west one pair and fold the sock halfway to double it. That way you don’t stretch the length. This also makes new shoes more comfy! Careful though, suede really does stretch over time, wouldn’t want them to feel loose!

Have you considered the YSL Niki? It has a chain strap like the reissue (in gunmetal, gold or black), comes in several sizes and leather options--a glossy, crinkled calf that has a rocker vibe, and a beautiful lambskin with GHW, among others. The medium size fits a ton and is a great every day bag. You might find the logo too loud, but it is the same color as the leather and doesn't stand out that much. Good luck with your search!

Here is my YSL crinkled calf tote I am still debating/ Its not that shiny in real life but is glazed.

Can anyone please please help I.D. this amazing cognac leather belt bag???

No.. the last one in the states sold and now only available in Canada...

Hi
I am the proud owner of a new Chanel (classic caviar GHW) and I look at it everyday
I noticed that one of the links on the strap is not fully closed. Is this normal or do I take it in to get fixed?

I’d love to know too

Looks good to me. Canvas on key pouches are stiffer compared to pochettes to ensure durability due to the nature of the product, more wear and tear.

Hi there. If you plan to sell the gift card on eBay you should probably research on the eBay subform for tips. If still unsure, post there for advice. It's risky tho I believe. You'll likely be selling it at a loss. MG sells more then just bags if you wanted to look on their website for shoes and ready to wear (if there isn't a bag that catches your eye). You can also maybe buy a bag and sell it to an e-consignment shop if they accept that brand (again, likely at a loss). Good luck!

Thank you so much for your response
