Saint Laurent.....just got this cardholder and the leather is divine...a chevron camera bag is now on my list :biggrin:, and this vintage scarf i got on Etsy a couple of years ago...the drycleaner was not able to get the staining out that you can see near the name label....i am afraid to try in case the color bleeds...curious to know if any of you think its possible to get them out? I wear it anyway, its a fun colorful scarf with my jean jacket!

It looks like a lovely scarf and I would just use and clean as you go along. Eventually, the stain may come out. If it's oil, it won't come out anyway and doing harsh things all at once won't help. It will depend what age the scarf is as to whether the colours will run. It could be '70s or it could be 1990s-doing-70s. The logo on the scarf is def a 90s fine script. You would have to to research more to check whether the 1990s scarves are safe to wash - I personally would risk a 1970s.

Wearing a Pucci dress I bought last year (it has its own belt) with Flamingo Party scarf on head (I think @Cookiefiend is a FP twin) with grey double-faced cashmere coat and trusty Evelyne that I can't seem to take off plus DS on the Etain side. I took myself for a 'just see what's around for gifts' day. Didn't buy anything but the walk was nice, it was also good to stick 'out of office' on my my emails for once.

My Prada belt bag is too beaten up to show but amazingly my YSL Ivory Marjorelle is almost pristine. It's 10 years old now and I still love the retro mod look of it and wear it quite often. A lot of the newer contemporary brands have bags that are quite streamlined and sculptural and no one remembers this as a YSL anymore (when I say 'no one' I don't mean on this forum). It's actually quite a good bag to wear in the Winter because it's both a pop and a neutral. Great with a narrow coat. This pic is from a long time ago but the bag still looks the same.

It’s wonderful to have a sparkly bag that fits what you carry!

Sounds like a great outfit! I am currently resisting purchasing a beautiful grey double-faced wool and cashmere coat on sale. Your post just made me think of it again when I am trying to be disciplined :angel: It’s wonderful you were able to get out for a day of window shopping.

Questions for everyone, what are some great gifts you will be giving and what is on your wishlist?

I love your YSL Majorelle. It looks great with this outfit. I like how you explain it as a pop and a neutral. I long ago owned a white YSL Muse Large, your pic just reminded me of my old bag.

Thank you @papertiger :smile: I hadn’t considered that the stain may come out with additional cleanings! I will do some research based on your thoughts, and if it seems ok i might try a little handwash, but i am ok with it as is rather than have the colors bleed...

Thank you. Those Muses were iconic.

Sorry to enable you on the double-faced wool/cash coat. Mine is as comfortable as a dressing gown and sometimes that's just what I want. Very cold here today.


I'm glad you asked this question because I sorted my list today:

Terre d'H 200ml for DH - should keep him going for a while.
Chanel hand cream (white 'egg') for 4 different people - the world's most stylish hand cream
Chanel, Bleu de Chanel travel pouch (fragrance and atomiser) for male friend who is always very generous
YSL manifesto for another friend (her sig scent)
Brora cashmere mittens for 3 others
I usually bake bread for the office.
I have to find something for another couple but they are always buying homeware so...???

My Wishlist:
Asprey gold brooch (I never said I was cheap to run :p )
V&A museum pass for a year
Present to self, Gucci Flora silk blouse (50% paid for)

I think I may pop back tomorrow for Gucci's Rush that's on offer.
