How to care for Speedy 25B in DE? Did I pay to much?

Do you have the bag yet? I really hope it works out ok. Most trade stories I have read don't end well. I hope they accurately described the condition of the bag and any odors. If you paid basically retail I hope it's in perfect condition!

Honestly the trick for lasting LV canvas is rotating your bags. My DE speedy from 2010 has some wear at the corners, but it still looks great. But I rotate my bags. Storage also matters. It can't be too humid or it will dry and crack. Only store in the dustbag.
Thank your for caring, it wasn’t really a trade trade, she paid the full asking price of my neverfull and I turned around and paid it back to her plus a few hundred. She is premium member from a group I’m in I’ve actually purchased from her In the past so I know she trustworthy. Is there a way to condition the canvas and coated leather. Right now this will be my only bag so I will use it all year round and I do tend to baby them a little. Hoping I can just learn to enjoy my bags.

Advice for first chanel (reissue, ivory or black)

I bought a pre-loved cream color 226 that was in new condition. I barely used it because I was so worried about the color transfer and I felt that it was a little too big. I ended up selling it and earlier this year I bought a 225 in black with rhw and I use it all the time. I would wait for the right bag and not compromise. I think the 225 holds quite a bit and is still small enough to use for a night on the town. Good luck deciding!

My first Twist!

While I have a Twist WOC, I’ve never had a full sized one - I always end up buying something else even though the Twist is one of my favs!

I went into the store intending to buy the black on black twist, but saw this new release which is etain with ruthenium hardware. It was absolute love at first sight - it combines the classic coloring but also has the chain strap, but it’s just different enough.

Anyway here are my two purchases from today :love:

I just bought this today. So excited. Love the color combo of the grey and ruthenium.

VCA Alhambra durability and customer service question

1. It is definitely better to get it from the boutique. There are too many fakes on the market.

2. Alhambra is beautiful but definitely needs to be taken care of. The best option for durability is the all gold hammered one and next would be onyx. Sales associates will definitely make sure to give you instructions on care.

3. I cannot comment on repairs/costs since I have not needed the service yet.

20A Velvet Bags Thoughts?

Hey everyone, I saw the 20A velvet bag that'll be coming out. My SA has put one on reserve for me already as it was a bag I was interested when I saw the show. I have yet to see the bag in person, would love to hear what people's thoughts on it and if anyone has seen this in person? Would love any mod shot if anyone has any as well. I've gotten a smooth leather mini/small black flap with pearls a few months ago and am worried if they're too similar. I don't have any velvet bag so would love to hear from anyone who may own a velvet bag and their thoughts as well.
