There is currently no YSL authenticator on TPF, sorry.

I usually buy all my designer purchases in Europe since I typically go at least twice a year and it’s saves me usually 35% off. Unfortunately with COVID I don’t know when I will be back so I caved to buy in the US.

I purchased the pouchette metis online and did Nordstrom pickup as I’m hoping to be able to use my Nordies card and get double points. Has anyone done this? When I go can I return it and rebuy it with my Nordstrom card?

Also curious to know how difficult it is to snag the pouchette metis in canvas? I was a bit surprised to see it available online but maybe it’s not as popular as it had been?

Yes you can use the Nordstrom card to purchase LV and you can even use notes on your purchase

I need help. My new small business affinity tote keeps coming undone on the side snaps. I don’t want to return it unless this is unusual. As I move the bag or place on my shoulder or reach foe inside the snaps come undone immediately. It almost seems like a design flaw. Why did they place such small snaps for a caviar leather. It needed something much stronger. Can someone help me figure out if it’s just my bag or all the small totes do this ???

It’s a beyond gorgeous color. I was offered it and gladly took this color. Previously had a vert fonce and as much as I love the forest green, vert toundra is super versatile. A beigey khaki green brown that changes color depending on lighting.

I actually did. It’s easy fix they said, but they thought the workshop in NY can fix it, but ended up they dont have the part in stock, so they have to ship to paris, but I decided for it to break more before parting with it for so long.

I just feel like they should not be breaking so fast. I literally only used twice.

I agree. These are the kinds of little issues that begin to creep in when demand is higher than careful production can support. For whatever reason, everyone seems to illogically believe there are no limits to production speed and quantity without affecting quality. Even the parts, like the clasps and rings and hooks and little plastic thingys H buys to put on bags must be manufactured by someone. High quality parts also take time and care, and those manufacturers cannot produce unlimited amounts of perfection either. But we want what we want fast. So I imagine as H clients we will deal with more of these issues going forward than we ever have in the past.

if it does have some smoke try putting it in a garbage bag with a few dryer sheets and tie it up and leave it for a day or two.

Even if the OP does this or any other method to try and reduce the smell, I feel it should still be disclosed as coming from a home with a smoker as some are allergic or have other reasons to avoid that.

A Noe, a speedy, and a Neverfull are my must have bags. After years and years of buying and selling, I'm a huge fan of the Speedy 30 (hand held), original Noe (the big one!) and a Neverfull GM (for travel). And I don't think I could live w/o my Metis.

SLG-key cles or key pouch, Mini Pochette and Pochette Accessories. Anything else is gravy.

I also love my handheld speedy and I’m looking to get a Noé and I desperately want a Pochette Accessoires!!

I think the pm is to small for an everyday bag. I needed up going with that mm. The pm is just so cute, that’s what’s in my picture.

Click to expand...

I agree. I think the PM is TOO cute, but for my daily needs, the MM will do.

omg. Saks should be embarrassed. I have Moncler that are like 3-4 yrs old and they still look perfect.

Click to expand...

It is embarrassing! I didn't realize saks had so many issues. I mainly use Neimans. This thing even smells like its been worn. But the straw wrapper in the pocket is unbelievable. I am really hoping they refund it and don't give me a hard time.

The PM is a little small. I like small bags, carrying the Favorite MM now. Love both of my Favorite MM’s, I have them in Azure & Ebene. You can get in & out of them so well. The Odeon PM, not so much.

Waiting for the MM to compare.

How much was retail for the MM in 2024? I just realized LV pulled off ODEON altogether on their site.

Plathughes said:

Do the mono pm still have glazing issues or were those fixed? I love the pm too! Was considering getting one in mono but I’m afraid of the glazing issues like you had before

Click to expand...

So what I have been told, they fixed the glazing issue. I had glazing issues with my Montaigne and it was replaced without question.

I’m curious if it’s true for ostrich also. Once I asked at FSH if I can get ostrich Kelly (thinking it’d be easier due to higher price) but I was told that Ostrich is also popular request and harder to get because it’s exotic. I wouldn’t be surprised if SA was lying just to finish appointment sooner. I know there is always stock at FSH but curious if it’s really hard to get ostrich there

Click to expand...

I really do not think he was lying. Generally exotics are actually harder to get at FSH because these are in demand with their regular clientele. For exotics, Ostrich is most available after which there is Croc/ Gator followed by Lizard. Lizard stock remains low but much improved compared to previous years.

It is far from being a defect. Glue residue is very common on LV bags. Unfortunately.
I had a Pochette Jour that had glue right in the middle of the canvas. It looked liked as if the canvas was torn, but turned out to be glue (it was not clean as on yours, probably mine got dirty). My SA just scraped it off with her nails. I believe that you can remove it if you want or leave it there and it will fall off eventually.

Thank you so much that’s very helpful

They still have other RTW with this print and trim atm. But AM purposely repeats best sellers seadon to season so it's hard ro know without seeing the code

Hi, I use my Samorga organizer that I purchased for my 35 birkin a few years ago inside of my Goyard PM. It works just fine. The color I got is beige/ linen color, so it goes really well with the inside of the bag. No color transfer. But I don't know if with a darker color, transfer will occur or not. I suspect no.

Definitely post pics of your bags for us to see! That’s part of the fun here. I agree that the club colors are amazing! I’m hoping to venture into the cuirs soon. Between the crossbody cuir n the clutch, which do use more? Do they serve more or less the same functions?

Click to expand...

i travel a lot for work (used to anyway). i bring and wear the crossbody cuir a lot. its great and secure for travel. as for the clutch, it started with the LGP version. i found myself reaching for it so much during errand days this lockdown period, that i got the neo versions too. maybe im just liking the way the clutch looks more lately.

i think they serve more or less the same purpose, just depends whether you want a crossbody or shoulder bag

ill try to take photos, need to organise a bit

It took me a bit to find a file! I am not 100% sure on the size for this, but I was in fact able to fit it!

It does stick up at the top, so I probably wouldn’t put it in the back section because it would get in the way of the flap. I’m not sure if that’s a dealbreaker. Also, it is a tight fit—I had to bend it slightly to get it in there.
