Sharing your 20 motifs necklaces...

So I already own the 10 motif Tiger Eye but maybe I’ll upgrade over time. I have the 5 motif bracelet on the way so I can combine and make sort of a 15 motif. I mainly wanted to check on the length of the 20 motif but sort of silly I was wearing a bulky turtleneck.
If you have TE 10 + 5 I would choose another one … I love hammered pieces and guilloché pieces (but heavier).

Gold earrings below $1k?

I am looking for new earrings but need real gold (my holes get infected otherwise) indeed to stay below $1000.
Obviously most brand names will be out.

I would like a drop or dangling earring, not studs.
Where do I even look?
I checked macys, Nordstrom (thought maybe w the sale), bloomies but nothing caught my eye.
Would love some ideas, links etc .
Thank you!

Etsy! There are plenty of talented, reputable artisans on Etsy who make gorgeous jewelry in a variety of styles and price points there, from vintage to modern. I buy most of my jewelry there. Type in a couple key words for types and metals - ie: “14k minimalist studs” or “18k simple hoops” - and go from there. The best part is that you can often have pieces customized if you find a metalsmith! Good luck!

Purse liners - do you leave it in the bag while not in use?

Joyinbag from Etsy is also a good one. They have good customer service. Organizers are cheaper than Samorga and their shipping is faster too. Except one time the owner asked me if my bag is authentic when the liner didn’t fit lol. They made another liner to fit my bag and sent it for free. It was nice of them. I use an organizer for my 19 which I keep when I use the bag. I also have an organizer for the CF jumbo but I take it out before using the bag. It takes too much space and gets more heavy.

How to resell the LV bags...!!!

If youre based in Singapore, you should try local resellers (who can provide authentication services). Usually, the resellers fee are low as compared to very premium resellers out there. I asked for a takeback price from one of the premium resellers (in marina) and they only offered $1.1k for the bag. Found a local reseller (Luxanna Bags & Co) and sold my bag at $1.8k. Yes, it may take longer but it's worth the wait for that price difference imo.

Henry Leather Goods

Just following up in case anyone happens on this thread looking for information about Henry's. Several YouTubers just did a collaboration where they all unboxed purchases from Henry's. Of all the pieces I saw, only one piece (a large bucket bag in British tan) was made (in USA) of the full-grain leather shown on the website. All the Italian-made pieces were lined, top-grain leather with a bit of stiffness and other issues. Reviews on the website complain of similar issues. So sad.

Between those issues and the non-removable taupe fabric strap on almost all of the bags, this line will be a pass for me. So far so good on the no-buy year.

Contact at the Realreal?

Maybe these two threads should be merged. Seem to be the same topic of conversation & its an important one.

I know they are totally different item,but i can only choose one for now. Which one is worth getting? this is my first time posting so pls bear with me. Thank you! :smile:

Dooney Florentine Derby Flap

I don't have that bag. But somehow, it's familiar to me. I've probably seen similar leather
on other Dooney flap style handbags. They were very thick solid pieces of leather
with the underside being the raw leather. Saddle leather comes to mind.
If it doesn't please you, then return the handbag. But I think that overtime it
will get a bit softer. I actually think it is probably a higher quality leather, in technical
leather terms, than we see on many handbags.

I've been reading about leather
and handbags and most of what is used today isn't very high quality. That's one of the
reasons that Dooney Florentine and Alto leathers stand out for their quality is far above
other contemporary and fashion brands.

And..... your new bag is stunning!
Thank-you!
