Does Chanel Reissue ever come with leather woven chain???

Hi all, I actually have a hybrid reissue already, I’ve loved it for years without knowing what it was! However I have another that is similar, when I bought it I just loved it and didn’t think much of its quirks! Has anyone seen one before or know what it is? It’s in soft caviar, black hardware and has a woven chain. This isn’t my bag, but it’s the same. Mine is in storage and luckily on much better condition!

Help me decide!! Reverse Mini Boite Chapeau or Boite Souple MM for my collection...

Hi guys! I really want to add some version of the Boite Chapeau to my family... and it’s tax-free weekend in my state soon so thought I might use the opportunity to do so. However, I’m stuck on which one to choose! I love the Mini Boite Chapeau in the reverse but am unsure practically how I will fair carrying my phone all the time. (Even though I end up doing this frequently with my bigger bags, its comforting to know its not required.) I also really like the optionality of the Boite Chapeau Souple MM, including that it can be worn as a backpack, but I already have what I would consider two casual bags (the PM and bumbag) that hold similar amounts. I’ve posted my LV family below. What would you choose if you could only get one?

You know where my vote went!! :lol: I hope we can be reverse twinsies on this one! Good luck with your decision. Can’t wait. And what is tax free weekend? I don’t have that where I am, but damn that would make a lot of difference in price. I need to move where you are!

Opinion on this Chanel Maxi CF?

I like it. But also do give the jumbo a try! I’m 5’7 as well and the M/L has a really short strap. Not my favourite e.
The maxi looks great on you but also try the jumbo if you can. I am 5"8 and think it fits great! Feel like the maxi could be too heavy.

Thanks, I was thinking the same, or a M/L depending on the strap
I liked the maxi but not enough to buy it- I have too many large sized bags so looking for something a bit smaller! Although the Maxi wasn't as huge as I was expecting!

Is Gucci A safe brand to buy...?

Hi there...I have both bags (although not in white as I would have a difficult time keeping the bag white) and love both and use both often. That said, I too am a Chanel flap bag lover and find that both these bags should be appealing as they have good weight to them due to the chain just like a Chanel. My only slight issue with the bee bag is that I find it is a wee bit on the small side. I think there is about a 2 inch difference in the length of these bags and so it can be a challenge deciding what will go in the bag when being used. A large phone is too squishy in my opinion or may not fit at all so this may be a concern. Anyway, all in all I think you have chosen two great bags and hope my 2 cents helps!

Alma PM - What uses?

I would look through the Alma club page for inspiration. I haven’t used my handhelds in a while, as cross bodies have taken over during the pandemic, but I always wore my Alma pm as a daily bag. It really elevates any outfit. And it is bigger than my usually daily bags, but that is not a problem- better to have too much space than too little.

Old school Suhali: Pre-loved reveal!

Ta da, my 12 going on 13 years old new-to-me girl! I filled her w/ a couple of thick textbooks but even without she is upright w/ hardly dents/slouching. Built like a tank but pretty as a rose. I love love this red shade which is bright in the sun but subdued indoors. Former owner must not used her much or was very careful that there is hardly any corner wear.

New bag - missing controllato card?

If you're making a special trip and it will cost you to go back to the store maybe just take pics, email your SA and get them to change the spelling of your name and send you the con card and new dust bag.
Thank you for the tip! I live within walking distance to my local store (a dangerous perk!) so I ended up just going back in but definitely good to know for the future!

I have been waiting to see fuchsia in a real picture. Thanks for sharing!
for your reference, I posted more pics of the fuchsia slh here..post 452

Turquoise durability

@RTone has given you some great information.
Natural vs stabilized will not change it’s ability to scratch. Stabilizing is mainly used so that material too brittle to use for jewelry can be used, and also watch out for composite turqoise, I am not sure about it’s hardness. Also, it is extremely hard to tell what is natural vs stabilized.
The formation of turquoise does not happen under pressure like say diamonds, it will never have a hard structure compared to some other gemstones. But it will get less wear around your neck vs your wrist or hand which tend to bump jewelry around. If you are worried about its durability but like blue there are many blue gemstones you could look at.:flowers:

And finally:PI apologize for my ramblings.

No need to apologize, I’m obviously here for jewelry talk. :lol: I have to think about it. They have a few different stones to choose from but the turquoise/sapphire combo is :loveeyes:
