Leather colour should fix it and would not harm it more. It is like shoecream with more colour.

I have seen it in the store in mumbai and it looks amazing

My vote goes for Lime, I was waiting for a MK II in this colour but was told that due to the pandemic, this specific combination won't be hitting my home store and was told that for the F/W j'aune ambre would be coming in, but I don't like that yellow...

Is anyone still using and loving their mini? I’m thinking about purchasing one preloved. Thanks!

Although I didn’t use this bag as much but I still own this bag… it really is a very spacious ”small” bag. The outside pocket is very useful too.

Does anyone have experience with the VCA Alhambra clip on earrings for non pieced ears?

I tried on a pair in store but the clip on closure clamp was way too loose! The SA said even if they are adjusted, there is a chance the earrings might fall off when I'm wearing them.

Have any of you ladies gotten them adjusted as clip ons, and if so how did you do this? Any help is appreciated, I am in love with the Pure Alhambra earrings!

@Angel_bunny Hi, I know this an old post but I'm wondering if you eventually got the earrings and how they worked for you with the posts removed. I don't have pierced ears and need the posts removed on French clip earrings. My earlobes have a weird allergy and even with clip earrings I need "pure" sterling silver or gold....perhaps it's a nickel allergy, so I do worry that I'll get the posts removed, have an allergy issue and be unable to return them. I hope you got them and they worked beautifully!

Are there any coming soon?!

It’s a beautiful bag! I have several Kan I bags and have not had any issues. Let’s hope my luck continues, as I love Fendi. I am so glad they helped you! Happy anniversary and wear her in good health.

Thank you so much. Sorry for the late reply!

why not take it to a cobbler, it will be local and only gone a week or less. might cost you a little but less hassle. Ask them if they will refund you the cost of the cobbler when you present receipt?? Something similar happened to me - was $40 fix

Thank you for your input! Fendi was able to exchange a new one for me so it's all good now.

You were crying over having it on your anniversary when it had already been gifted to you prior to the anniversary?

Click to expand...

The bag was purchased before my anniversary and put away until it was closer to my anniversary, which was when I found out about the screw problem. If they didn't help exchange a new one for me then they would've had to take it for repair, and yes that means I wouldn't have had an anniversary gift during the repair time.

wow! looks amazing and in nowadays!

I love both. The Sologne is actually great in my opinion. I agree that it can't be dressed up as much as PM but otherwise love it

Thank you everyone for your input and feedback. I haven’t pulled the plug yet but I think I’ll wait

without quilt it looks a bit empty, i'd go for either color, but with chevron or quilt

Has it been discontinued??

Click to expand...

Yes, it’s definitely been discontinued. Your best bet would be to find one floating around at a boutique, but you can’t order them anymore.

I was away for too long, mostly because I collected almost all Bals I craved, and also because I had the most stressful 5 years at work in my whole life. I remember how much fun it was to come here and read all the threads. One of the best and funniest ones was by maxxout https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/by-popular-demand-show-us-your-butts.614291/
I hope you all can access this thread and enjoy it as much as I did.

I keep the bubble wrap I get when I order packages from Amazon and use those to stuff my purses.

Ugh. I just purchased my first Valentino bag from a luxury consignment store. The bag was locked in the case with a channel and Louis Vuitton bag. I assumed it was Valentino Garavani and bought it. But IT’S NOT. It’s flipping Valentino by Mario Valentino?! I had never even heard of that brand before. The store doesn’t take returns and I don’t really want it anymore since it wasn’t what I thought I was originally buying. I looked up the resale value and it’s not great. Question is, does anyone know about Mario Valentino? Is that a high end brand? I couldn’t find much info about him expect for he died.

I have seen products of both brands at Neiman Marcus Last Call before. Comparing their leather, hardware, threads, interior designs, and prices, you can tell right away that Valentino Garavani is definitely a high-end designer, and Mario Valentino is some kind of a less than average contemporary designer. I realize one thing that may cause confusion is their big V logos. The V of Mario Valentino is placed inside a close circle while that of Valentino Garavani has some open space on top of the letter. I’m not surprised to hear your story though, because by the time I was in the store, some lady shoppers next to me were also super excited to get such a good deal for a “Valentino” bag just like you.

I’m so sorry for what happened to you. If that was me, I’d feel shocked and disappointed like you too. Please share if you reached out and talked to the store about the issue.

Hi, is there a YSL authenticator on Purseforum yet? Thanks!

Welcome to tPF. No, there's still no one authenticating YSL here. The Authentication thread has been closed for a year now.

Hi everyone,
First post in the Tiffany forum I have a this sterling silver mesh ring that I love dearly and was gifted to me in 2008. Unfortunately, over the years it has taken quite the beating with the most recent being in 2018. I was in San Francisco just walking down the sidewalk, tripped, went flying through the air (typical of me), and on landing scraped and deformed my ring. I took it to get repaired and polished and I would say it's about 85 % back to normal. Despite this I am now afraid to wear it and cause more damage lol. Ideally I would have liked to purchase another one but Tiffany no longer makes it. Is there any way they would do a custom order and recreate it??

Tiffany might repair it, but wouldn’t custom order a new one, unfortunately. They will only custom order pieces over $50,000 usd at this time. You should definitely bring it in to discuss how it can be fixed further and then best to try to locate one second hand.

I was told by CS they do not track the date code and just go by the shipping label. From experience, I would say that it’s true.

Did you end up getting it?!

Click to expand...

No, sadly not. I was a little worried about it so thought it was best not to

I have two- one in black and one in purple. I cinch them frequently but use a little key ring to hold the cinch together and there’s not much creasing. I’ve had the epi neverfull since it debuted bc I wasn’t a huge fan of canvas bags and wanted an understated look. It makes for an awesome work bag. I’m pretty sure you can get your handles replaced. I had mine re-glazed and they’ve smoothed over the issues it initially had (the glazing melted onto my clothes). All in all, a great purchase.

i would get the vintage size. go bold ! i doubt it will be too much on you. there are probably a ton of photos you can look up of petite women wearing this size to get an idea about how not overpowering it is.

yes there is a melted waxy look but no cracks, no rip and no hole. I guess I will bring to LV to see what they say. Worse case is they turn me down right? I will save money to buy new then. Thanks all for input.
