So far, I’ve carried this bag quite a bit since acquiring it. I don’t notice any new marks or scuffs at all, so I think the colour hides things like that well. The tassel on the front zipper pocket ripped a tad so I had to fix it. Other than that, the bag’s been a dream so far! I just have to remember how delicate the old chèvre tassels are.

love that color....good to know it's not too delicate
my kitties have played with my tassels a bit but no noticeable damage - my bag is black though, so very forgiving

I personally wouldn't use a calf hair bag in summer ( May, June, July, August) here in Canada, or New York. Come September, I would feel fine using it. Eight months out of a year is pretty good when it comes to bag useage.

Now that there are less opportunities to wear our bags I’m craving something pretty on my home office desk and/or vanity... any one using any LV items like the Nice or perfume travel case to organize things that can share pics?

I can wear it anymore

Have you taken it into the store ? Let them examine. I hear sometimes that they will examine the condition of the bag and kinda do a appraisal of how it's been looked after. I guess if it's really pristine no dirt or looked liked its had a hard life. Then maybe they more inclined to believe its premature cracking. I have the same bag and have a bag insert. It's my most used bag it hasn't showed any signs of wear. Were those creases on the side leather already there when u bought it? . Cos I would have rejected it if was like that.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but what there is, is up on the website.

Nothing in store yet, I noticed that even some of the Summer stock had literally just arrived last week.

Some things are available for preorder now like the Small Jackies.

For anything else you could do a chat with Gucci CS.

So I am debating between two bags either the Deauville in the new dark denim that was just released or a grey timeless clutch. I know they are two completely different styles but this is what I am debating for my next purchase. I am attaching a photo of the clutch.
I would appreciate any insight. Thanks!!

The grey clutch .
It is just sobeautiful..

I love the PM. I own one it fits perfectly on the shoulder for me.I think definitely try on before purchase as for some people it might not work over the shoulder carry. It fits a ton lightweight and not bulky which I love! I did sell the pouch it came with I found it too thin and small to carry anything other then flat items so I never made use of it. The bag is amazing tho I’ll never let it go. The price is going up more so try and grab one of you want it.

It’s totally up to you. It sounds as though you prefer pre-loved, which is great - just be sure you are buying from a reputable reseller and I would also go a step further and get it authenticated by a third party service.

I will tell you that personally, Chanel is the one brand I am hesitant to buy pre-loved from the newer seasons. For that amount of money, I want there to be no doubt in my mind that it’s genuine.

Thank you!
The color of the zipper is a little yellow than the ring, i don't know if it is the light......
And the shoulder strap is not white white, is it normal?

Hi all,

Just came across this interesting article regardless of your general preference towards natural or lab grown diamond, so thought to share it here with all the jewelry aficionados!

Lab-Grown And Natural Diamond Industries End Hostilities, As Declining Jewelry Demand Threatens All

With a name change from Diamond Producers Association to Natural Diamond Council and new positioning of mined diamonds as the natural alternative, the lab-grown and mined diamond industries are learning to live peaceably together. Its a change that will benefit jewelry retailers and consumers.

It'll be worth it if it's real. The price seems low, so I'll be cautious (i.e. have it authenticated first). Most minis in caviar I've seen are going for at least 3500 USD, more if classic colours and/or with edge stitching.

Wow, you have the 10 wg pave too?! I think that’s the blingiest and most beautiful of the paves, but I could not pull that off. I guess it’s good that it’s realistically out of my price point at this time. I do have the pave pendant and ring in yg and i love it so much that I did kind of want it in the 10… I should probably just try (very hard) to get the hammered yellow gold 10 instead and just wait for my new tennis bracelet that is on my way to me to satisfy my sparkle needs haha.

Thank you! It’s surprisingly easy to dress down, similar to a tennis necklace. I think going for the hammered is a great great choice though!

Thank you.
Hope the store near me has stocks for me to try on.

I went to Cartier multiple times to try on different combinations before I finally made the plunge. I hope your store has stock too. Good luck!

Hey all,

I went to get my bag initialized today and the person who did it could not knot the leather strip back to its original position and I just told him to stop because he was ruining my leather and the bag.
I just knotted it temporarily but it seems like it wasn’t like the or
I was wondering if anyone had a photo or a video or can help me out to knot it properly? Thank you!!! Soooo much

it’s the LV monogram moon bagpack

Thank you @Soniaa. I am so holding on and agree that I should not give in to consignment. I have also informed my SA about PA but she mentioned that order is now closed, will be some time before we can be reorder. I am also camping on the site daily but no luck yet. Thanks for the tip on the stalking site - hoping there's alert on Asia site. L

Thank you @Wondermuffin for suggesting. I have Toiletry 26 and bought the inserts with a chain - it turn out to be bulky and has depth to reach out for items. Also, I am worried about the TP zip being damaged if the chain is used frequently in this case. I have not had TP 19, so perhaps I can consider this. Are you using TP as a crossbody? How is the zip or zip edges holding up?

To add, I have the double zip pochette and notice that it could not fit as many items without me be worried of the zip being busted or it looking bulky. It fits well if I am using the card slots (so I need not fit in my card holder), 4-key holder, pochette cle and wet tissues. My phone already occupy the first pouch almost fully. The double zip pochette is frequently used for dinner and events where I need not reach out for my phone or cards as often.

I was told by the customer service that the white card is for them to track (sales or something related to that) and are discarded. Didn’t answer the question though.

Hi guys, posted this on Reddit, but this community seems much more active and knowledgeable.

Wife and I recently got married (small off the cuff wedding because of COVID) and we didn't have time to get each other gifts like we promised. Since things have started to open up, I thought I would get her a pair of Louboutins. She's not a big heel wearer or girly girl, but she is willing for the bedroom, and I think she looks super hot in them. Not long ago I got her a pair of Stessy pumps, and she was a little hesitant at first, but after we had some nice nights with them, I couldn't help but notice she would discreetly put them on in the house just to check herself out. So for sure she's into them on some level. I think she just wants more confidence wearing them because she is already quite tall (5'11). Also, she would always comment on Christine's Loubs (from Selling Sunset on Netflix).

Anyways, I'm wondering what the best pair of Loubs might be for her to possibly have a chance of getting her to wear them out on date night (although I have strictly ruled out true 120's, as she already has a bit of trouble walking in 100's, so unfortunately So Kates' may be out, unless someone can convince me otherwise haha). She is a size 9 in normal heels, like the Stessy which fits like a glove, and her feet I would say are narrow to normal, but toes are a bit longer.

I've done a fair bit of reading, and I've narrowed it down two styles that I think are sexy, but may also be timeless: Kate 100 in Black Patent or Nude Patent, New Very Prive in Black Patent or Nude Patent. I've listed both colors for each because I can't honestly decide what would be the best to go for. The Black I think is very sexy, but I think the Nudes she might feel more comfortable as they are less attention-grabby and more flexible with matching to other things. To me it's the silhouette that is what really drives the "wow" factor though, but I'm not a fashion expert. I could be totally wrong.

It's very important I think that they aren't toooo painful so she might be encouraged to try wearing them more often, and even outside the house. Maybe this is the wrong kind of thinking.

I'm open to considering other styles too btw, I would just like the community's opinion. Is there an absolute must-purchase for a first pair of Loubs? And what size should I get her to minimize the chances of having to return them?

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. PS. I read the sizing thread about the New Very Prives, and it says to size 1/2 down or full down, but the Loub website says it fits true or to size 1/2 up. That's very confusing.

I would go for black patents. Or black suede as a less aggressive option

Question. I posted this in the Bandit Clubhouse thread so forgive me for those that see this as a duplicate.

I have massive FOMO on the bandit. I just love the smooshy pebbled leather and I'm leaning toward bigger bags these days. I want to pick up a Bandit on the after market but want to know what I should look out for with regard to fakes/scams/other concerns. Specifically, I'm looking at this one and I'm wondering if I should ask for any authentication or if I should be concerned in any way. This would be my first pre-loved, after market purchase.

This is the bag I'm thinking of getting. At least the color, anyway. I just want to get a decent deal on a new-ish, in good shape, authentic bag.

Cute! Are you able to close the bag securely?

Yes! It’s pretty secure. Has been working out great.

I think it is absolutely normal that you want to complement your jewelry set so that it looks complete and harmonious. I think the pendant will go well with these earrings and a bracelet. I hate women who have no taste and who try to put on everything they have. I am always for harmony, beauty, and elegance. I complement my look with stunning earrings, which I have been ordering for a long time in the online store and I always get thousands of compliments. You all know how compliments boost your self-esteem and mood. I love this online store for its great selection, reasonable prices, and the beauty of their products. I'm just in love with it.

Thank you all for your recommendations :biggrin:

I do love a speedy and can’t believe I didn’t think of that as an option! But also love the idea of taking her to pick herself!!
She lives in a small village in Yorkshire in the UK so luckily doesn’t worry too much of open bags either! x
