Purchasing Chanel during the pandemic.

Enjoy your new bag!

I purchased a bag back in mid June. I spoke with my SA in NYC over the phone, and my new Business Affinity bag was shipped to me. Not the lovely in person Chanel I enjoy, but happy nonetheles.

2020 has been a rough year for everyone due to this virus. A beautiful new Chanel bag puts a smile on my face.
Oh wow!!! Beautiful choice! I purchased the WOC with the adjustable strap! I’m so excited!

Coco Handle Metal Issue

thanks for your message! Mine is a small compared to her medium. I wonder if this issue mainly towards aged gold? If I got one with light gold, would the quality be better? I do think the metal is a bit thin causing the indentation in the metal.

However, watching her video, she actually puts a lot more items in her bag than I do. So weight could also be an issue in creating that chip.

my bag is still currently with the boutique and has not come back yet. So we will see when they receive it back.

I do believe you should still get the coco handle because it is a lovely bag, I would not get it with aged gold though, fear of the same thing happening!

Thanks for your advice n encouragement! It is indeed a beautiful n classy bag. I like the fact that it can hold more stuff than the classic double flaps. N the handle makes it so lady =)

Air Dior Items (Cardholder)

Hi! Forgive me if I sound ignorant or dumb, but I tried Googling this and cannot seem to find any answers. I am currently in the US, but I have a few friends in Europe who are planning to come back state-side soon.

I was wondering if the Air Dior collection in store is all sold out already or on reserve? I was interested in the cardholder.

Thank you.

Experience with YSL @ Saks Fifth Avenue?

Their return shipping and process take forever, so I now go into the store for returns.

They also sent me a scuffed YSL bag recently and I went in to exchange. They were very helpful and honored my original discount price ($300 off $1200). It's now coming in the mail with 3-day shipping.

By the way, apparently the YSL boutique inside the 5th Avenue NYC Saks can't help with orders you place online. They have a completely inventory and order system. So when I went in for an exchange, they could give me a new bag from the YSL boutique and had to order a replacement to be shipped directly to me.

First chanel bag..?

If you loved the classic flaps then that’s the one - just choose the size that fits your needs. I don’t like any of the seasonal you posted. I get tired of those quite easily, but that’s just me.
Take your time, try them on and enjoy!

yea i get it i change my mind too. Often so if i dont get classic design i might regret anyway i will sure checkthese bags taking my time! Thank you!!

Michael Kors What would you do to refresh the MMK bags?

The only MK bags I truly like are the pebbled leathers - I find the saffiano bags too heavy. I'd like to see more pebbled/smooth leathers and perhaps the saffiano phased out. I pass up a lot of items because they look too boxy or stiff. And some lines seem to never go away, like Jet Set - maybe retire some styles. I have a few of the newer bags with smaller MK charms and circular small logos, they look better, so more of those, too.
I agree re: retire some styles & smaller logos.
I think that they need to retire the Hamilton. I really dislike the Nouveau Hamilton, it looks too gimmicky. I do not think it will age well because all of the Nouveau Hamiltons have such loud, shiny hardware and colorways. I still remember the first thing my mother said when she saw the Michael Kors Dillon bag I'd gotten: "Why is it so stiff looking?"

Rebag

Thanks for sharing. Was your Rebag experience recent?

I plan to take my bag to their WTC store in NYC. A customer service representative told me over the phone that it can be reviewed by an expert there and the buyout can be finalized on the spot—rather than shipping it to the warehouse, which can take forever. I feel like dropping off the bag myself is the safest way to sell to Rebag.
It’s a good idea taking it in person. We are in summer and offers-buyouts are usually lower. I find that offer prices are a bit higher September October. Again, Rebag have been around for a while, they started with a different name, Trendlee, and in my opinion they are a bit slow but steady. I love Fashionphile and Yoogis as they are much faster and reliable as well, but again I find that prices fluctuate among all of them

Two shoe styles same color.

I just got this shoe in camel and was debating to get black as well. Obviously as you can tell from pic I got the open back ones and want to get the black in the same style. Or should I do closed back? Idk why I’m not a huge fan of the closed espadrilles.
Please help!

I would try to variate a little and get the regular espadrilles in black instead of the espa/mules. You can wear the black ones till it gets a bit colder as opposed to being limited to both shoes for warm weather.

Need help deciding new or pre loved

Just curious why you didn't return your FP item? And usually on the description page they note odors.

I don't think it's worth it to buy azur used. The only way you'll save money is if it has patina and wear. If it's like new it will be close to retail.

I probably should have returned the item because the smell was so strong! I really wanted the bag. I regret not buying it new. There was several factors. I was planning an elopement. Covid. I was sick and couldn’t drive to UPS. I did really want the bag though.


After thinking about that today I ordered new!!!!! I mean it wasn’t a huge difference in money I just hate white vachetta lol. Now I’ll look for post on tanning it faster. Thanks for your response!

LV Volt pre-launch event

I really like the LV fine jewelry line. The jewelry designer came from Tiffany's, according to my SA. I got the B Blossom Ring in YG/Malachite. Love it! I pair it with my VCA perlee pendant. Simple, and understated. It doesn't scream LV ;)

May I ask how your malachite ring is wearing? Does it need to be babied?

Pochette Metis crooked lock after less than 1 year of non-regular use

Hello All..

I just purchased my PM in mono and after reading so many past issues with the PM I think I’m overly paranoid. Does my s lock lean a little to the left? I feel like it’s a little crooked but not sure if it’s worth exchanging it or just keep it. Other than that, the bag seems flawless. Thanks for you help.

Leather Decisions

Hello loves,

I’m currently updating my wishlist for my SA which consists of birkin 30s in gold, kraft, malachite, or vert Verone. Since I am very open to any leather, except for Epsom, I’m going to say togo, clemence, swift, or fjord are my preference. I was just wondering, does Hermès still use fjord on its current birkins? I seldom hear fjord offers nowadays!

Would love to hear your opinions!

XOXO,
