Opinions on MylockMe bb as first LV

i have one in noir and it's my first luxury bag ever and I love it so much! I returned my pochette metis (too many issues) and picked this up instead. Not a single regret. This may not be an "LV classic" but the style, and shape is really classic, imo. It's structured but not as structured as, say, a twist, which makes it a lot easier for me to wear. the capacity is works really well for day to night as well.

If you are worried about keeping the shape I recommend taking it easy on how heavy you carry, or maybe get an organiser/shaper from samorga, im planning to get one myself. Hope you love it as much as I do if you end up getting it, but I must say, you won't regret it.

LV Hotel Vancouver Manager implies I'm a liar

I just returned it today and the manager’s attitude is still the same, like she just wanted to be done with me I walked in, tried to be friendly and asked “Hi, how are you doing today?” with a smile. However, she didn’t even reply or smile back. She just said “Hi, do you bring everything today?” then went a head and refund me.
I honestly don’t know how a person like that got to be a store manager!
I've always thought LV had the worst customer service of all the luxury brands I've shopped in store.

Scarves Shipping Fee 2020

I agree with what you are saying for the most part. I don't buy bags so I don't play the purchase game. I DO check scarfs very carefully because I hate those run/pulls that occur at the hems when the "hand-rollers" hemming the scarfs use a dull needle. I will never settle for any scarf with these pulls (& my SA is good with this and always gets me another one). My issue is really with the C'est La Fete scarf I bought. After checking the multi-coloured print side carefully, I was satisfied, never thinking that the solid coloured side would be a wreck (yes I understand NOW that the second side is essentially another scarf and should be considered as such). My annoyance springs from the fact that even though Hermes freely admited there was a production/quality control issue, my boutique would only give me a store credit for the return. This is not the level of customer service expected from a luxury retailer. JMHO.
Oh I completely agree with you and didn’t mean to suggest that I infallibly agree with H’s policy, I was just trying to point out its origins. I fully concur that anytime there is a legitimate quality/defect situation, the customer should be refunded in full without hassle. (I think other parts of the world even have consumer laws to force companies hands on this too!) :flowers:

Speedy 30 - better to buy new or older & pre-loved?

Preloved speedy prices are surprisingly high. I personally wouldn't buy preloved for such a small discount especially if something does come up, it's easier to get it serviced when you buy directly from the boutique. One thing to note the DE leather has changed recently so its matte instead of glossy so if you have a preference, that should be a consideration. Good luck!

What Luxury Tote Bags Can You Recommend For University/Work?

I agree with the above posters who recommended a workhorse for the books/laptop. Longchamp was someone's suggestion; how about Madewell? They're more easily replaceable; heavy items will cause wear and tear more rapidly than just your everyday essentials. Of course, if your heart is still set on a high end tote, then by all means, get what you really want - but expect the constant use to show pretty quickly. Or, you could always reserve the luxury bags for occasions away from the daily school grind.
(I remember centuries ago when I was in college, book bags were slung about rather carelessly. I hung mine over the back of a chair or plopped it onto the floor to get it out of the way. Not that I predict you will treat your items so haphazardly, but I remember the culture: you're too exhausted from all-nighters with study groups and endless pots of coffee to take care of yourself, let alone a bag.)

The reveal that has been 14 years in the making...

How do you guys feel about Reetzy? I'm in one of their FB groups but the admin/mods don't authenticate and I've had to report some pretty obvious fakes that were posted for sale. How's their actual sale website?
I bought this one off the site from probably their most well-known seller. I paid PayPal so I was comfortable, though I feel comfortable authenticating myself as well.
