I just got one preloved for $160. I have a toiletry 15 and am wondering if I need both. I got caught up on the frenzy of finding one plus the price was unbeatable :biggrin:

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. I'll have to use it next time, as the bag has been sold.

Well then, it wasn't meant to be. I'm sure the exact right bag you're looking for will come along at some point!

It has been a few years. I believe I just called customer service and asked where I would send such a
request. I am almost positive I mailed to a New York address, I probably took about six (6) weeks,
but when I received it was quite thorough. I live in Florida, but love to travel. When traveling, I like to
purchase a little something. It had all of my purchases whether from New York, Texas, etc. I was impressed.

Thank you! It would be great to have all of mine too.

I found them to be heavy. And, for the price I'd rather put the money towards leather sandals.

Hi everyone! I am a HUGE fane of Apple Garde for vachetta! I just started collecting stamped luggage tags and was wondering if anyone has tried using Apple Garde on foil? Not sure if it will cause the foil to come off?
I don't want the tags to patina too fast and I plan on having them on a wall display.

Thanks for any info you all can provide!

I Apple Garde all of my vachetta except the luggage tags. Foil stamping can come off without it so adding it didn't seem like a great idea to me.

if you're close to Toronto/GTA there's a YSL outlet. You can call the store and ask if they have any currently in store

Wow - had no idea. Do you know what gets sent to the outlet usually/is the stuff usually damaged?

In my opinion, the LV store in Fashion Valley is wonderful! It is a larger store than the LV in Scottsdale Fashion Square.

I don't have a store in my state. I have to drive about 1.5 hours. The SA I've dealt with there I feel is hot and cold, can be rude. The last time I experienced it (in July) I hopped back in the car and drove another half hour to another store. I had to wait about an hour outside and found someone so nice once I got in. It's such a shame they don't value their customers! While I make purchases, I'm sure I'm not making the level you are. Shame on them for treating you that way. I feel we're stuck since we love the products!

Am interested! Do you mind sharing what you use? Perhaps pictures will help. Sorry, am new to LV

Sorry for the delay! Our LDW plans kept me busy and away from my computer haha. I filmed the entire process for a blog post later this month, though I don't believe I took any still shots. For the dye, I used Fiebing's.

Leileka,

You seem like such a nice lady with such good opportunities (in terms of buying handbags

). Enjoy it ALL in good health. At the risk of sounding morose, we're all gonna be dead in 50 years. Have fun now! One bag too many? A bag you don't use that often? Do it like me and just gift it to your niece or a good friend. Let them enjoy it.

In the meantime, if it's not a burden, sure! Get some more

Why not? They will either work for you or for your niece

Or for a good friend.

And no, you will never fill fulfilled (or not...) just because of a bag, which simply holds your things. At the end of the day, it is just a container to hold the stuff you happen to have at the moment...

Good luck!

Beautiful, enjoy!

step2005 · Sep 26, 2020

I saw them side by side and found them both beautiful. The 20s might have a tiny bit of orange undertone, while I find that 20b is a true ‘blood’ red. On red
lambskin I also prefered silver Here’s a picture of mine but really the color changes depending on lighting, background, position...If you are able to check them in boutique that would be best...

Success finally!!! I have struggled with this strap longer than I want to admit. I tried suggestions from both @frenziedhandbag and @SmokieDragon. I got so frustrated that the strap didn't budge so I was desperate and took out a screw driver and used it to make the hole area stretch a bit as I pulled an tugged at it. I did this to the hole closest to the end of the strap. Once it released, I think I did a tug of a combination of both your suggestions on the next hole and it released easily. I am so much happier with this bag now!

Be careful if you ever use a screw driver to do this as it could slip and stab yourself. I was so determined to adjust the strap that I had to take the chance.

Thank you to both of you for your tips and encouragement!

Yay!! Glad it worked out in the end

Congrats and enjoy!

Thank you AverageJoe, I will call the store and ask. :smile:

Hi guys,
So I ordered my navy classic flap not too long ago in May before the price increase from Saks. I noticed today the sticker was folded in. Do I have reason to worry? Like another sticker was stuck on? LOL I’m so paranoid about fakes nowadays. Has anyone else had this issue?

anna2b2 · Sep 3, 2020

Thank so much, everyone! I picked option 2. I went in to get the diamond JUC and it was very underwhelming. I love the simplicity of the regular one though!

I'll chime in that I have a Mono NF, DA NF, Mono Petit Noe, and I'm waiting for my Speedy B 35 Mon Mono. I was crazy anal about the vachetta in the beginning but I've learned to unclench on some level. I still don't want dark/dirty leather but I'm ok with a natural patina and the occasional beauty mark. I have sprayed the vachetta on all my bags with Apple Guard. None have seen much bad weather but I've also stopped worrying about every drop hitting the bag.

So this said, I did order my Speedy B 35 Mon Mono for the purposes of a travel bag that will see more wear. I was torn between the DE or the Mon Mono - but I've finally embraced the idea that the vachetta wears with you and tells the story of your life and travels. In fact, I've moved from wanting to preserve the lighter color of my vachetta to wanting to quickly (though still lightly) tan my new Speedy once it arrives.

Overall, I'd say go with your gut. Do you prefer the Mono/Vachetta or the DE/coated leather? I've never been a DE gal (for bags, I have DE SLG's) but at times I've tried to convince myself DE was the way to go because I was afraid of the vachetta patina. I've been thisclose to buying a DE NF (which would have been my first LV) but I went with the mono instead and I'm glad I did. Then I tried to convince myself the DE Speedy was the way to go because I wanted a more "care free" carry on/work bag. But yet again - I decided the DE isn't my style and I can live with patina for the bag I really want.

Thank you for your insight! I’ve been really stressed over vachetta and I’m not sure if it is valid or not. Has your vachetta gotten really dark with wear? I’m looking for an everyday bag I can have enjoy but also relax with.

I actually was in a line for the vaccine the other day and saw a lady with the mono neverfull and was super put off by the vachetta because it was literally so dark brown. Does that happen from normal wear or taking it out in rain? Or is that the level of patina that should be expected.

I would also be looking to take my bag into work as a everyday work bag when the offices open back up. I wouldn’t want to change into a different bag every other day it rains (north East). I did spray my bag with Apple Garde but it still has gotten marked on the vachetta.

I do absolutely love the monogram print it’s very light and airy of a look compared to the heavier print of DE. I love the DA print as well and actually have a DA neverfull im getting for my birthday as a gift but for some reason I love the contrast of darker vachetta on a light canvas such as DA.

Also scared of the summers with humidity and vachetta. Potentially spending a decent amount of time in Florida in the future my company is actually relocating there.

Possibly looking at the world tour neverfull because of the black treated leather option. Or the Damier Ebene with the Rose Ballerine interior to make that bag look a little lighter looking.

I have a mini pochette I carry in my Gucci Marmot Small camera bag. It fits perfectly but not much room left for anything else except maybe keys.

middlemouse318 · Aug 29, 2020

Metallic one for sure! That color is TDF :love:

I might be in the minority. Not a fan of shiny hw on the boys, a bit too loud IMHO.

Yes i'm going to take it to the store. my appt is this thur. Just trying to get some insight here before I go. I live in LA, I never shop here because SAs here are just nasty unless you're VIP or a celebrity. tbh, I'm pretty sure the SAs are going to be dismissive about this like the original post member experienced. So I'm just wondering where @eeyee 's store is at. I will keep you all posted.

Just want to say, congrats on getting a constance at an airport H store, and hopefully Paris can fix your bag!!

Love earrings

Hello everyone. I'm thinking of getting the Love earrings to add to my collection. I have the Love cuffs and rings, both in WG and YG. I haven't decided yet what metal or size hoops to go for and won't be able to get to a Cartier store for a while. Does anybody have the Love earrings? Do you...

Ah! Thank you for this! Saw the photos you posted! Congrats (albeit late) on the wonderful gift from your husband! :yahoo:
