I placed an order for a bag of which there 2. As I attempted to login, etc, it went down to one. It looks like I successfully submitted the order. I did not get a confirmation email right away, however. Then I got an email saying that my order was delayed. I could click through from the order number and I could see that it was in process. When I did a search, it said the order didn't exist. So I probably didn't get it. I would just rather it tell me they were all sold out. I've been lucky with some other bags. I might not get this one. No big deal. Just hope they don't hold on to my money.

I have both! And I love both. I think valentino rockstud or spike bags are very very underrated. They are fully leather lined, soft structured, light, punky and shockingly versatile. I abhor that bags have to be ’trendy’ to look cool rather than focussing on quality, aesthetics and styling. That is my rant done.

I really like the rockstud bag and rock mine as an evening bag as it is in patent.

Having said that, saint laurent’s styling is very classic and these bags will outlive trends. They are good qual bags too.

Go with what makes your heart sing. You will get more wear out of your Saint Laurent bag as it is a tad more versatile. Good luck And enjoy having the choice.

Also please check out my video on Saint Laurent Lou belt bag. You might find it helpful. Looking forward to connect. Thank you.

I was cleaning up the zipper pull on a 1980s piece using blue magic metal polish. I also tried a sunshine cloth, but the blue metal polish is definitely better. I noticed, however, that a small part of the hardware has a pink sheen to it now. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to reverse it? I’m not certain I’m working with solid brass, but I think it’s more likely since it’s vintage.

How is this bag holding up? Thank you!

B4GBuff · Dec 15, 2020

The small is cute but doesn't hold much at all. Also the opening is not that big so its hard to get things out IMO. I have the small in the beige iridescent with pink undertone and love the color but wish it was medium. I also have the medium Gabby in gold python (my fav bag I have) and the black chevron medium (my most used bag being black goes with anything, doesnt show dings and scratches as much and holds a ton of stuff!!) The medium also seems to work with more ways to style it. Like you can turn the straps backward to each other and sling over both shoulders so it hangs like a backpack. The small just doesn't look good like that but the medium does for sure! The medium top opening is a lot easier to get things in and out. As for color go for what you think you will use more. Probably the black and beige.

I like both but would go for the dark purple cause I love the chevron pattern and also I would be worried about color transfer.

I've not been very lucky with patent leather. I had a patent Chanel burgundy that started showing dark spots, a patent blue Dior that became sticky, a light pink Dior wallet with brownish glue marks... I love patent leather, but I stay away from colors other than black.

I am not a seller but has experience with one. I think best is to ask your seller. Different seller may have different term. I asked my seller to disclose full amount and she agreed initially but then talked me into disclosing as a gift as she always do with all of her shipment. I stood strong (I didn’t want a trouble) but in the end leave it to her as she also didn’t want to disclose full price. I think it has something to do with insurance charge, maybe. The more expensive the goods, the more expensive total shipping cost. It was by DHL. In the end, it went through custom just fine. But that left me a few sleepless nights until I receive my bag. I’m not in the US. The seller was. But bags coming from UK.

you can check custom fee from your country’s custom and duty website. Each country has different rate and also some exception that may apply. HTH

Thank you so much for this. I been trying to look it on and it's been difficult to find an import calculator online.

Have you considered replacing the Vachetta on your original?

I thought about it but I figured it would be easier and more cost effective to just buy a new or newer one.

I am not proficient or skilled at social media, but I’ve heard that sometimes companies are more responsive on Facebook or twitter or something like that? Would it be possible to complain on one of those platforms in a public way, since I am sure that others have your issue too! Hope it gets resolved quickly! Good luck!

Great advice 880. I've heard that, and tried it myself. It at least got me a much faster response - since they don't want negative comments on their public social media. I would suggest starting with a public comment, not a Private Message - though a Private Message may be needed to give them your details once they respond to the public comment. Good luck!

Hi all - could you please tell me a bit about the Kiss Lock bag? I thought it was available in stores now but turns out they were in the early part of June. This is the info I am able to gather from my SA at the store, but she wasn't sure. Does anyone know if this is still available? Any leads or info? Huge thanks!

I can’t see anything wrong from your pic but if you’re unhappy exchange it.

I've seen this envelope chain WOC (grained leather) on a few different people when I've gone to bars and night clubs! It comes in silver, matte black, and mixed metals. The medium size I believe can fit a phone and a card case. I don't have it but I am thinking of adding it to my collection for going out!

I’ve had this WOC for four years and it’s perfect! It’s a great choice!

I just visually like looking at the fir color more than the gunmetal!

Fir it is then. Trust your gut and get the color you love. You will definitely use it more as well. Do post after you get it.

I almost pull the trigger on the white gold onyx bracelet SO.

But then my i got distracted with other items i want lol

Below are a few things I consider

1) wg onyx can be a great pop of color. But need care

2) wg pave would be a much better addition for daily pair. I don’t like mixing metal. But buying two of the same thing can be redundant.

3) I will get my 10 motif Wg pave first. And if i still cant find any other better choice by that time, then I will get the 2nd pave wg bracelet.

I really dont like the extra care i need to the stone bracelet and pendant.

I can deal with the earrings because it is easy to take off daily.

What do u think?

Excuse my ignorance. I always understand that onyx ones are carefree as per SA claims, why they (sort of) need care?

yesterday and today as well i bought curtains and lights and wall hanger.

I had purchased 2 separate items through a wonderful Saks SA to ship to my home. Although they did not provide tracking, I did get free alerts from fedex including the tracking number!

I vote necklace. I don’t like the single sweet bracelet. To me it has no presence. Even though the size is the same it would look better as a necklace.

Agree. And if it looks small, you can at least layer this.

I agree. I wouldn't worry. VCA is sending you the shipping label, so if Fed Ex loses it, and cannot recover it, VCA will make things right for you. Tons of people purchase remotely, and send stuff back and forth.

THIS!
Don’t worry VCA does this all the time - your treasure is safe

Hi! I am curious if you end up purchasing this bag? I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the small size.

@sparklywacky did anyone end up getting the bag? thinking of getting it as well!

That's quite some time. Happy birthday!

Regarding the soft Antigona, I personally can't see it gaining the same popularity as the original, but then again, I was not that impressed when the original was released either. I thought it would be a cute bag to carry to the gym or other casual use. I'd still wear it like that if I would buy one (I might!), I just can't see it as formal bag, like most others seem to do... :smile:

Can anyone tell me where I can get an Hermes Avalon blanket authenticated please? Thanks

Thanks that's helpful! Might just be faded black she's passing off as grey lol. But does have extra tassels

That should help, the tassels probably wouldn’t have faded if they were never used.
