Just an update, I got brave and cleaned the hardware with a Q-Tip and some Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleaner. It looks great and I didn't do any damage to the leather.

Loving a vintage Petite Now in black Epi! It is from 1988 and the quality is amazing. It comes with an adjustable shoulder strap but I am using it with a short hand held strap and a longer strap for crossbody.

What a super cute bag!

Most if not all of my LV bags are made in Italy. Having compared some (my Néonoé in particular) as against the MIF ones, I would say that the MII was of a higher standard/quality.

My Givenchy Medium Antigona had that problem when I first received it as well. I found that kind of curving them in towards each other while it sits on my display case helped with the issue. It took a few weeks though. Hope that helps!

Thanks for help.

but how do you know which black it is? have you gotten RM tags on some of them with the name - "midnight" or whatever. I had a black MAM and I don't think it had any special name - same with my Cupid - just black.

I know which black it is by the lining, but only for OS bags. I don't know the names of any after 2009 or so.

I think the PM is closer in size. It is about the same length at the bottom but wider, so you can fit more than the SBB.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you all so much - looks like I’ll be making an Easter shopping trip with baby, rather than a Christmas trip with bump! I’m sure the wait will make it all the more worth it ☺️☺️ Xx

If you are going to get the lindy touch, do not get it in the craie color. The croc strap truns yellow quickly and the bag remains white. Imagine how dated the bag would look after several uses.

I walked into the boutique fully expecting to purchase the green camo saddle and coordinating strap... it is sold out locally but can (possibly) be ordered from another boutique... HOWEVER my SA had this little tie dye beauty set aside. I'm not an impulse buyer and needed to step away but keep thinking about the tie dye. Would love your thoughts! Also how is durability on these non-leather pieces? Any issues? Thank you!

Sorry to high jack your thread but do you remember the retail price for the tie dye one? Looking at a preloved one, but don’t know if it’s worth it.

I have the eclipse one. If you love monogram then it’s worth it & very luxurious to have in your home. The cashmere is very soft & thick too - slightly thicker than my friends’ H ones.

Awesome! Great to hear, and thank you so much for the photos! Appreciate your opinion.

You have a stunning ring and, while I’m personally not a fan of halos, I do think they look best on emerald cuts. That said, you’ve got another vote for ring #1. The trapezoid side stones with your stone would looks sensational!

Thank you. It seems every major brand has an equivalent jewelry line.

It might be similar to a Chanel Mini Rectangular flap bag - the model code is A69900. You can search from youtube or google website. I think that might be better for long term use. It's just my advise, if that's your first purchase! Good luck ^_^

Thank you!

Thenewestgirl · Sep 7, 2020

Yeah, this doesn't look great for the bag, but if practicality means the most to you then it's a purpose-filling hack, sure. I just can't help but worry that you'll regret having done this later if the handles get ruined for good.

Forgot to say, I love Suarez bags

Right? Aren't they nice? I guess people think they too heavily borrow other designer's ideas, and maybe they do, but they are nice bags for a good price!

Hi all. I saw the dimensions of a reissue 225 to be 9.4” length, 6.3”
Height and 2.8” depth. The one I just bought from a recommeded IG seller is 9.4 x 6 x 3.2
Can anyone tell me if this could still be correct as the bag is made to fold in and I have my base at its largest size? I bought the Reissue 225 so black in chevron and it feels authentic as I used to have this exact bag in the 226 style but for some reason I got super paranoid about the dimensions. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Always happy to enable. Lol.

I recently made a few everyday totes from extra leather hides I had in my fabric stash but didn't think about trying to make a crossbody bag. Please share a picture of your final result, I'd love to see what you come up with.

Hi! - I'm looking at ordering a bag from Selfridges as I would save over $350 CAD it seems. I am missing any hidden costs? It says Taxes and Duty are included, but I can't fathom why there's such a price difference.

So black.

Sorry to hear that! I am a firm believer though that things happen for a reason. Even though it may seem like you missed out on something, whatever is waiting around the corner will be better.

That is such a lovely thing to say dear atlsweetpea11

Very positive.
I’m a firm believer in this as well.

Hi, all. Quick question: I have a few Vuitton canvas (DA & DE) bracelets in 17cm but am lusting after a Vuitton Confidential mono bracelet in 15cm. , given the slightly oval shapeDo you think it would be too tight for a 5.75" wrist. The 17cm are quite loose but not overly much. Any advice appreciated. TIA!

Rockerchic · Aug 12, 2020

Hi all,
Does anyone have both potiron and etrusque? if so would you be able to post side by side. Reason I'm asking is i have a potiron bag with phw and saw an etrusque bag with ghw that I love BUT they are the same leather and size so only difference is the color and hw. Too close??
