2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[cowgirlsboots]

I thought it was a success. I went back to look at the blackout one and was told it was sold out. They also said the neon stuff sold out. I remember seeing the camo stuff at the outlet. It didn't do well.

I can only refer to what I read online. It said that in many locations lots of pieces had not sold when the time frame ended. Possibly they did refer to the camo bags... they are quirky, but the leather pieces are much nicer (in my humble opinion.)
The blackout Lady Dior is gorgeous. Classic with a twist!

The background of my google search is a piece I spotted in the classifieds- back into the deep wallet hole.
It´s the gunmetal wallet on chain with the pink stitching. It caught my eye immediately as it sends out "red" vibes even if it is not red. The price seems fair to me and I´m very tempted...

On the subject of Jil Sander (yes I know this was pages ago but I don’t keep up people). I also unfortunately got rid of some of my JS stuff. Most memorably a black puffer jacket that I put up in Vestiaire and went in minutes, what was I thinking of?

I haven’t got rid of the skirt suit I wore to my sister’s wedding and which is from the last collection Jil Sander designed before she went away the first time and everything became messy with her brand. I went to an exhibition on her work a few years ago and they showed the suit, which made me happy. It is made of a mix of wools in the most beautiful and subtle sort of seafoam green and plum that are not weaved but somehow superposed and look iridescent with the light. I really think there is no one right know in high fashion doing the kind of experimentation with fabrics and materials that she did.

By the way, in that exhibit they showed films of the gardens at her Hamburg home, and oh, they are so incredibly beautiful. I guess pics could be found in google.

Anyway, a new small vintage shop has opened in town and of course we had to visit. On top of a mannequin, a vintage Jil Sander leather trench in caramel was waiting for me. It was precisely my size and there is not a stain on it to show it was ever used. Needless to say it had to come home with me.

It goes perfectly with my new old Chanel flap backpack that I finally got... I really have to sell my bags at this point. I did ask in the shop because it would be so easy right, to just bring them there and forget about it. But they charge 50% commission which is a tad to steep non?
I have to check the commission in VC, have forgotten how much that is.

Where is your mask from?
Whenever I see your maxi DS, I wonder, should I give the DS in Sikkim a try or try to find one in maxi size... (I did find one maxi DS being sold by a TPfer for a really good price actually, but didn’t finally go with it. I just found the bag in clemence so irritating and uncomfortable to wear...)



I always found the Yeoh bag intriguing. Didn’t know it had been designed by Michelle Yeoh, thanks for all the info, so interesting! I get exactly what you mean by being attracted to the dorkiness of it . I had the same with the old Herbag, the idea that you could change colors and sizes... (like what precisely is the point of the new Herbag?). But then I got one and after the first 5 minutes of nerdy satisfaction I felt like, eh, am I really going to be playing lego with a bag?

I think I have seen these pop up in VC? I am sure they’d have some.

Indigo is such a wonderful color.
I have to say, I got myself a bandana this Summer that I have been taking everywhere, and I find the 70s size so easy. I have to investigate further. Which 70s you want?

It's a double-sided silk mask from Wolford

I can't see the lace/black ones anymore on the website but I'm sure they have some more in B&M stores.

It was recommended to me. It changed my mask life, I couldn't breathe before at all, I also couldn't see to walk down stairs. I hand-wash it and it's dry in a mo. I almost forget I have it on.

Clemence can be heavy, which is probably why they went for Sikkim for the largest size. Seems quite resilient too but I hate writing that in case I curse myself

Congratulations on your trench and my commiserations on your black puffer - as you know, I know the feeling.

I know JS is a totally different aesthetic but I am positively celebrating that my Lacroix striped jacket never sold on Ebay even though it was on there for months for an amazingly reasonable price. I'd never be able to afford it again. Cheapskates lost out and I'm happy.

I remember that I have a Jill Sander dress black dress somewhere too, but I have a feeling it may have been after Prada bought the company. Anyway, I have my boots (I hope). I also have vintage Helmut Lang

50% is normal at most B&M concessions but they are usually negotiable for very large ticket items because they also make the shop look good and bringing people in to enquire, as well as making them a very worthwhile sum if they sell (and this is the same for most traditional auction houses) shame this was not the case for yours.

Vestaire is 25% up to a certain amount and then gets less.

@Cookiefiend : I got the twillies for my picos! It felt wonderful being in the boutique, even as the only customer. My local store (not big) doesn’t have any new season stuff, and they haven’t ordered the 70s I want, but it was just so nice to be in H world again. View attachment 4850452

That’s a pretty mask! Nice twilly and drink. I’m ready for some normal.

Playing lego with a bag had me chuckling. Exactly!
Some of the new 70s are reissues with fabulous striped hems! The SAs only had those printouts with tiny pictures - meanwhile on these threads we've seen plenty of action shots, close-ups, everything. I always love bringing the H SAs up to date, LOLOL.
I like the Promenades de Paris but there are TWO blue-based colorways and I'd love to see them back to back. But Monsieur et madame is also super-cute, and the geometric one (don't know the name). I'll probably pass on the doggie design. Are you eyeing some 70s?

 

[momasaurus]

This looks fantastic!

Thanks! Credit to @Cookiefiend

Really pretty twillies!

Obviously the Pico is super-chic

Thank you. I do prefer some contrasty elements in the pico - like @Cookiefiend's leather combo, and the contrast handles here.

Yummy! Mouthwatering! Everything! The handbag, the twilly and the drink!

I love sidewalk drinking!

That’s a pretty mask! Nice twilly and drink. I’m ready for some normal.

Thanks. I picked up some masks from Johnny Was, and now I'm eyeing some of the clothes..... Uh-oh.

I know, I thought being a new shop they’d may have a lower commission. They did say for items over a certain amount they lower it. But still, I don’t know if it is worth it. I have only sold stuff in VC, I am not that experienced in selling stuff... The first thing I ever thought of selling I did in eBay and the buyer claimed only one of two shipped items in the same box got to them, so I thought never again.
I never shop in eBay either, or I would have grabbed your Lacroix jacket I am sure

Thanks for the mask tip! I just ordered a bunch!
The only ones I can breath in are some Greek linen ones I got, but they are already looking too summery.

We want to see!

It is under wraps but it is this one. Couldn’t find a better pic... the fabric is impossible to describe.
I did wear it a lot after the wedding, specially the blazer.
It was a winter day wedding and I wore it with a burgundy fox stole, purple MiuMiu snakeskin retro platform peeptoes (remember those?) and a MiuMiu clutch with appliqué leather flowers. Ms Sander would have most definitely NOT approved, but a girl can only handle that much minimalism in one go

What a beautiful suit! I can totally “see” the luminosity of the fabric.
I just Love suits..really miss those corporate days (I just don’t seem to be able to let go of those)

Wait..what about the leather trench?

SAs keep saying Les Bassets have all old out. Reading between the lines I think it's more likely that they haven't arrived as well as other 70s.

Officially, this is called a tonic weave, as you say it makes it look iridescent.

If you ever sell this 'we' want first refusal. And when I say we, I mean me

I’d quite like a winter 70 yes... I tried to check the thread on this season scarves, but it is impossible for me to keep up with that one! So much info I get lost...

Right, that
I actually have a pic...
Classic trench shape, buttery leather.

Ah, how much I love your erudition. I am googling ’tonic weave’ but all I get is hair products . But I think this was different because it is not weaved. The material, in two colors, is sort of pressed together. I want to say kind of like felt, only it feels nothing like felt, it is almost silky.

Congratulations on the Jil Sander leather trench! You certainly couldn´t leave something like this behind! Will you take a photo with the Chanel backpack and the coat?

As far as I know VC takes around 25% comission. The rate depends on the price of the item you sell. Definetely not 50% which is very steep in my opinion.

 

[cowgirlsboots]

Right, that

Wow! This is gorgeous! You look so effortlessly chic! Well done taking this coat home! It must have been waiting for you!
