Help! Perfume scent on preloved Lindy!

Not sure where you are located but look into someone removing the odors by use of an ozone machine. I have access to them through our business and removed cigarette smoke from a leather bag about 5 years ago.....it worked. Strict safety procedures to follow though so it’s not for general use. I know Amazon sells small ones (This probably will not work) but I’m talking about the large commercial ones.

YSL Lou Camera Bag in Black Raffia / SHW - Thoughts?

Looks like it has a rocker chick kinda vibe. I’m really feeling the velvets the suedes and so I think this textured bag has its appeal. Like it can be layered with the same hues and colors yet contrast nicely. Maybe with a black leather jacket, black loose tucked tee, dark gray jeans or something. I would think it could be year round since it’s not a summertime light brown raffia

When is it likely that Saint Laurent will have an online sale? Or SL bags for sale at other online stores?

Hi there! Also curious about an upcoming sale. I’ve made two small purchases (card case and a pouch) this year so hope to be notified of a private sale but wondering if anyone else has heard anything recently. I’ve got my eye on the mini Becky or medium Kate.

Eva or PA in Damier Azur...which would you buy?

No worries! i actually like the look of the eva in mono because it has a smaller gold hardware infront. but i think for the damier they have a bigger ones? not sure. i also like to put my mini pochette in my PA and it fits perfectly. Just love the plain look of it. :biggrin:
Yes, you are right. I would love the monogram plate to be on the azur. It’s smaller with less real estate to get scratched. I do plan to upgrade my phone this year and it’s going to be bigger. This could be a deal breaker for the Eva.
Thank you again!

Dark water damage

You can remove / even out water marks and stains by re-wetting the vachetta, but you have to wet the whole piece not just the stained area. The reason why water ‘marks’ vachetta is because the water draws out oils from the leather as it dries. If you take a damp cloth, towels work best, and rub the vachetta including the non stained area until the clean vachetta changes colour (make sure its evenly wet dont want dry spots) and then gently in circular motions keep working on the stained area as longs as the non stained area was wet as well, when all of it dries it will be much more even.
Thank you! I'll try this and update :hbeat:

Needing a good 'every day' tote. Advice on Either Tory Burch, Coach or whatever you recommend please!

Hi there, I have the Tory Burch Perry tote and I love how sleek, minimal, and stylish it is. Before COVID when I was still at the office, I carried the Perry for over a year with almost no wear and tear. I get compliments all the time on it. The only drawback--the center zip compartment only fits a laptop up to 13", so if yours is bigger it may not be the best choice.

Reissue or Classic Flap - Which one to get as first Chanel bag?

I need to update you guys. After waiting for a very long time I decided to go for the Reissue anyway. I have not regretted it for a moment. Although the CF is still gorgeous I find the Reissue very practical. And love the golden chain! Here is me with the bag. I am also 1,74 cm so it fits perfectly!

Prada Shipping Restriction

Hello, thank you so much for the reply. It is true that I can still buy from farfetch however, they only collated the boutiques within that country for example, you cannot buy a prada item whose boutique is in Italy if you are in the US.

is this new? I bought a Prada key case a month ago from Farfetch and it shipped directly to me in the US from Prada Italy.

it was actually cheaper than buying on the Prada US site since tax was included and my state loooooves it’s added sales tax haha

Thank you

Chanel WOC Box

How long does it take to lead to mold? I store them in the boxes for several years. They retain the new smell for much longer. The magnetic closer on the box doesn't close snuggly like a safe and I pack them with tons of the tissue paper and repack them every time. Does anyone have a best practice?
I have only stored patent leather bags in a box. If you have done this for years without any issues, maybe you live in an area with very low humidity.
