Phone holder

I also got one in goatskin of the Chanel 19 design which does not stretch out as much as yours in caviar. But I do need to push a little bit in order to fit in my phone. Guess yours design would be better since won't give too much pressure to the leather which may make it out of shape. (Just some share of thoughts :)

Sac De Jour Smooth Leather Care Tips

That’s great! I never had smooth leather bags so I was hesitant at first. No, need. A good quality leather lotion or cream will do the trick. I haven’t ordered as it still is sold out from where I live. I’ll give it a go when they have it in stock. I’ll also read more reviews and feedback on the product if it is well worth spraying it on. I wouldn’t want my bag spilled with something hard to remove. :shocked:

Yeah it's always best to be on the cautious side, since you wouldn't wanna ruin bags at that price tag
Keep me posted, thank you :)

Dior Saddle Bag Reviews/Functionality

I have the original vintage version, and for me it’s not an everyday bag, but I tend to carry quite a lot with me.
It’s not difficult to open but it can be a problem to get things inside if you’re carrying a lot of things that have to be stacked inside. I have a ginourmous BV continental wallet which is now almost useless because I rarely carry cash, and it wouldn’t fit in the saddle.
It is a lovely bag though, I’m not going to part with it.

[REQ] Umbrella Academy: Klaus' sunglasses (Season 2)

My dear lovely people at the purseforum, so I just started watching season 2 of Umbrella academy and I got struck and immediately lusted over the sunnies Klaus is wearing, can anyone help me ID the designer / brand and/or style he's wearing (really hoping these are a real life model and not custom made by the costume designer)...

Reverse double zip pochette?

I bought one (because Jerusha influenced me :lol:) the first day when it was launched in Europe, but returned it because it was definitely a return piece - there was some dirt inside and outside and the canvas on the front side was already peeling. :whut: The date code was something from the beginning of the year. Although I liked the look (especially the reverse side), I am not too sad that I had to return it as I find it pretty expensive for what it offers and still prefer the PA mono. However, this is just my personal opinion / experience.
I have quoted my post from the LV in Europe chat thread where I have shared this experience with the double zip pochette in case you are interested.

Hey guys! I have ordered last week the new Double Zip Pochette Reverse Monogram and wanted to share my experience with you. I have just received and unpacked it and am really very disappointed by what I've gotten. The bag is not brand new - it is made in the third week of 2020 - and the strap looks very thin and not very robust. This would not bother me, but there are many issues:
  • First, the upper layer of the canvas is already peeling off on the front, reverse, side of the bag along the area of multiple cm.
  • Second, there was some yellow / beige dirt in two places - inside the first pochette and in the fold between the both pochettes.
  • Third, in both pochettes there was some small white fuzz, especially in the credit card pockets.
Inside the pochettes were already some creases on the microfiber.
So my impression is that somebody might have already been using this bag. I am returning it and regretting to have wasted my time on it.
I just wanted to share the potential issues in case somebody is interested in buying this bag.

My feeling is that this would be a permanent piece such as PM reverse of OnTheGo, but I do not know exactly.

Sending bags in for repair

Online isn't always accurate status though. For example, it shows my two requests (straps) with dates I requested. Both still say in process. However, I emailed repairs and they said ONE was at the store waiting for me to pick up. I texted my CA and he confirmed BOTH were ready to be picked up.
That is true. I've had one item that said it was still in process, but the repair manager called and said it was ready for pickup. I think it depends on the repair manager and how much they're on top of the pending repairs. I'm lucky that my store has a great repair manager that keeps in touch and gives me updates on my repairs. As for the online repairs, I'm not sure how accurate the status is for these or how much communication, if any, one would get.

Linda Hamilton's (Sarah Connors) gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses worn in The Terminator - Dark Fate ??

Any ideas who the designer/maker of the sunglasses worn by Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connors) in the movie The Terminator - Dark Fate? They were the gold-rimmed ones not the black rimmed aviators worn in the beginning and for most of the movie. They look like the Le Specs 'Prince' aviators in gold with green lenses. The only thing is the 'Prince' aviators lenses are flat whereas the ones in the aviators worn by Linda Hamilton are slightly curved. Find a lot of "look a likes" but not the real ones.

Just found a super old (late 70s) pocket purse at an estate sale also in bone— but in really rough condition so I had to paint her :(. Hope I did her justice to bring her back to life!

Received an empty box from LV!!!

Going through the same thing now, but with a twist. I ordered an SLG and received my LV shipping box from UPS. It had been resealed sloppily with clear packing tape. Even though LV required a signature, the box was left on my porch. I was home when it was delivered and retrieved the box from my porch right away. I thought it looked odd. When I opened the shipping box, it contained two empty SLG boxes and two receipt envelopes for two other customers. The actual receipts were taken out of the envelopes, but whoever took the receipts left behind the return shipping labels. As we know, the return shipping labels have the customers name, phone number and address in the upper left hand corner. The bottom left corner has the order number. I have relayed all of this information to LV and to UPS and also sent pics of everything. So far, UPS is saying they’re not liable. I have asked them to explain how I received return shipping labels for two other customers? I have not received a response. I reported all this on 8/12. LV says UPS has until 9/2 to make a decision. I hope LV makes this right since it does not appear UPS will accept responsibility. So frustrating and time consuming.
This is horrible!! I am sorry you have to deal with this.

Help me choose

I ordered the key pouch in DE and then later in mono last week but I can't keep both and my head is spinning trying to pick one.

I don't have anything in mono yet, (I have the speedy, mini PA, 6 key holder in DE) and both pouches are pretty perfect. I'd say the DE even more so.

I plan to use it as a key chain on my DE speedy and other bags. Does the mismatched print look odd?

LV agenda PM?

I've been interested in getting an agenda PM, though my plan is to use it as a regular notebook instead of as an agenda. I've been looking for reviews to see if the size would work for me, and I'm seeing some people talking about how the rings make the PM annoying to use, with pages not turning well. Does anyone here have personal experience they'd be willing to share? Thank you!

I have a set of rings 16mm gillio that I swapped out for one that needed to hold more. I also have a hole punch for the small size. As I use mine also for passport cover in the past and a monthly calender and to do list, to me this made sense. It holds more, the pages flip easily, and overall makes a huge difference. I wish lv came with the larger rings, as Gucci does and likely other high end brands as well. The PM size is great as a carry around as it fits in most bags and remains light weight. I highly recommend!

Help! Cleaning tips please!

I was over at a friend’s house with a Doritos eating toddler..... You can guess where this is going. She saw my Félicie Pochette in DA and picked it up and wanted to play with it. Her dad freaked out bc he knew it was LV and told her to put it down. There are a couple Doritos finger prints on the inside rose ballerine fabric. I didn’t want to stain it further just winging it. Any tips on how I can try to clean this off without making it worse?
It is just the lining so I would start with alcohol baby wipes, which should work.
