I have a Natural Barenia 37 Bolide, so they do exist. I have yet to see a bolide in black Barenia, though. Black Barenia items are very hard to find. I do have a Black Barenia 35 Birkin and a Black Barenia Whitebus GM (40cm).

- I was curious about whether anyone else, given the circumstances and excuses, suspected shill bidding.

If my opinion wasn't clear, I think I did answer the shill bidding question. I think the seller and/or an accomplice did do it.

I am interested in the piaget possession bracelet here: https://www.piaget.com/jewelry/possession/yellow-gold-diamond-open-bangle-bracelet-g36pf800
But I realized from the weight of it that it's hollow from the inside. Does anyone have experience with how this wears if I would wear it everyday, especially stacked with other bracelets?

i am in between this and a JUC, and I feel like the JUC is more sturdy since it's not hollow like this one, but I really do like the look of the Piaget bracelet. Another thing about the JUC is that I'm already a size 15 in the love bracelet. Would it look okay if I were to get a JUC in the size 15 as well? I called the store today, and they mentioned that many people do this and it looks great, but from everything I've been reading here, you need to size down.

Take a look at the Coach Madison Drake Briefbag 4420 that was made in Italy in the early and mid 1990s. It is not a big, heavy briefcase. I think that it is a slim, elegant bag. It comes in a variety of colors and has a suede-cloth lining. It has a outside slip pocket and an inside zipper pocket. It looks like the other vintage Italian Madison bags (like the Copley) and it could be worn as a purse as it says in the catalog description below.

You can see pictures of a Forest Green Drake that I recently rehabbed at the link below:

Happy Birthday!

Interesting... I called the 1800 number this morning and the Advisor said it’s scheduled for September but maybe October but will def be coming to the US.


I just sent a text to my SA and she said the same.


I was hoping to get it for my bday this September. I’m okay waiting as long as I know it will be released in the US. I like the look of the thin and was about to get it pre covid but I’m glad I didn’t. The thin with the diamond is just so pretty!

Yeah - I think in the back end it's definitely coming... but the SA's just aren't 100% sure of dates yet. Any delays can happen with COVID. So it makes sense. I hope you get it soon!

I'm also very interested in this bag... Love the design.

I store mine standing up it’s on a dostbag and stuffed with a samorga bag organiser

I'm 5'9" It is super cute but I passed on it, it felt quite small on me but probably not used to this size. I got the Heart Coeur bag instead.

Hi! Is the “crack” on the other side as well?? I had a PSM earlier this year (has to return because the corners started peeling after less than a week) and it had the same thing on both sides and I was told it was part of the design (easier movement and to prevent cracking in those spots) my bumbag has the same thing on the backside zipper (on all four corners). Hope that helps!

I realise this is an old thread but I just thought I'd comment as I have just returned by new MWT bumbag because of two cracks on the back zipper. It was deemed faulty and I got a refund. I have just received a PSM and checked the area around the zip. I don't have any cracks like in the original post here, or like on my returned bumbag. That area should be 'fused' together.

update I finally found a SA at the SoHo Boutique to help me... bag purchased with no issue

What a cute thread! How do you tie your scarves on your bags? Also is there a Cassie and Marlie thread on here? I’m eyeing those bags

Thanks so much!! And excellent idea with the straps Hope you’re having fun being creative!

You’re welcome. I found a strap that I like - it’s from my Pochette Métis in monogram. And I doubled over the gold chain to make a small handle and to make it so it doesn’t rub too much on the stickers. I’ll have to take a pic in the morning.

Thanks BB.

Beautiful - congrats!

As long as you are not living in a hot and humid country, keeping the bag in an airy room on a shelf to let it breathe, I think your bag is safe from melting and peeling.
I have the bucket pm for over 25 years and it is in a horrible condition like what you described including the small pouch that comes with the bag. I ended up cutting off the lining which is better now exposing the inner lining just like the PA nevertheless I don’t use the bucket bag anymore. It is officially retired due to the disgraceful conditions.

I do live in GA but will never leave it in the car! I hate that they didn't fix the problem and rerelease the bag. I haven't received it yet but I think it's going to be my go to bag. Thank you for the info!

Is anyone else having delays/difficulties receiving their new Coin Card Holder in the Monogram Eclipse Reverse?
I know a few people have already received theirs weeks ago. I had ordered mine on 6/16 and after 3 weeks there was no update so I called CS and apparently there was an issue so I was able to re-order it thankfully (on 7/6).

I was curious and had the time so I called CS again today to inquire and they said there is a delay in shipment and could take a month and a half?

I thought about contacting them but figured it would be a lost cause. I also wondered if they would make me return the bag, and I like it too much to give it back! LOL.

Click to expand...

Lol! Totally understandable. I bought a bag and it came with some flaws that the company was not aware of so I contacted them and I got $100 back. That’s what I meant!

I have a small leather Dionysus in pink. It’s a beauty. But it’s heavy and not that small (not like an evening clutch or woc you’d wear to wedding or event). I love the bag but not sure it’s the best choice for what you want. It cannot be carried crossbody (the mini can be). But, it’s a real show stopping beauty. Whenever I wear it I get compliments.

Cute!!

For color,
Definitely a black birkin then If Patti Smith. But maybe I’m distracted by Apfels glasses, I almost think Appel would do bright color. . . I definitely don’t see either woman choosing a light neutral which I think you mentioned as a possibility. Not gold or etoupe or tan or noisette birkin. Apfel is also not what I would consider minimal or avant-garde in the way I imagine Patti Smith (Smith could rock a dries van noten or come dea garçons style though) . . . Though maybe both of them would do raisin. patti smith would do rouge H but I’m not sure Apfel. . . Prune or Bordeaux with phw maybe?

what is your hw preference? I think I’d Appel more ghw, whereas Patti smith is definitely phw.

i forgot to mention think my swift B weighs more than the barenia. I can weigh it later. VN or Box would be lighter.

Click to expand...

I'm definitely more Patti than Iris as I tend to like brands like Comme Des Garcons,Rick Owens,Anne DeMulemeester, The Row, Loewe, Old Celine-BUT I also wear a lot of vintage 70's long dresses in strong colours (hence the Iris thing I suppose in that I'm not afraid of colour and I often layer clothes-but although I wear glasses I dont do a 'wacky' look with them, nor do I wear chunky necklaces but I do like a bracelet and big rings )
I veer towards PHW but having said that I do Mix gold and silver rings so I'm not anti GHW (though I would hate rose gold !) I have 2 cape cod watches both GM one black face with silver metal strap the other white face with double tour red strap -that is silver too.
I wear a few Hapi layered up and all those have PHW and I have 2 CDC one black with PHW and one tan with GHW....So I suppose I'm more of a PHW woman but there is something about GHW on a Birkin or HAC that still looks fabulous.
I mention my jewellery tastes because I think again that gives an insight into my style-most my Hermes bracelets and watches I've worn almost daily for many many years
When I mentioned a light neutral I was thinking a rich deep patina like you'd get on an old saddle in which case I think GHW would look great but I think you're right I'd probably regret not getting a dark colour.
I need a bag that will go with my 'bright clothing' days as well as my Black or dark clothing days.
At 5'3 I worry that a HAC may be too 'long' even though I love them I dont want to scrape the bottom of the bag walking up stairs!
Sorry for information overload I really really value any input as when buying pre-loved its almost always online and therefore not possible to actually hold the bag in front of a mirror on me until I've brought it.
Also In London Hermes stores Birkins are few and far between to try hence me considering a 40cm which I now realise would be a BIG mistake.....I AM the woman who brought a pre-loved Loewe Holdall online ...forgetting that I was buying from a US reseller I thought the measurements were in CM not INCHES....omg!!! the bag turned up and it was huge a weekend bag not a daily tote..I've used it once and ended up asking my husband to carry it most the day because it weighed so much !
I dont want to make the same mistake again

hi

Bought this off ebay and I am.totally confused whether its real or not. Hologram is peeling off and one of the wesite showing the serial number below hologram as a fake.

I ended up exchanging it with a letter dics pendant. The pendants keep moving and it bugs me. I was looking for an everyday pendant and the disc was perfect for me.

Hello, yes I have recently bought this bag and have used it about twice so far and am really loving it. Like you, mine fits my phone, sunglasses keys and cardholder and can probably fit one or two more small items like a mirror or make-up if I wanted it to. I'm really into small bags at the moment and bought it to use on the weekends and just to carry my daily essentials either on the shoulder or cross-body. The bag's very comfortable to carry either way. If you like it I think you should keep it especially if you got a good deal.
