I have 3 of her scarves now - 1 silk, 1 CSGM (and one on the way), and one wool and silk that's like a mousseline but heavier.
I won't buy another of the plain silk - it's no where as nice as Hermes.
I love the one that's like a moussie but heavier, it's 135cm, and I love to wear it with the leopard's eye showing - it practically glows.
The CSGM is sturdy, and the colors vivid. It's warm and lovely. While maybe (see-sawing my hand here) it's not as nice as Hermes - it's literally a third of the price. My only quibble is that instead of a rolled hem, it's fringed.
(lemme know if you want pictures!)

Thanks for this info. Good to know about the silk. The cashmeres are 100% right? No silk? How do they feel?
I love her stuff, and the medieval vibe, but lots of brown and gold which are not so friendly to me. Can we see your glowing leopard sometime please? TIA!!

Its 70% wool, 30% silk - they feel about the same as H’s CSGM to me, but I only have 2 of theirs To compare with. So I’m a newbie on this.
Here‘s a picture of the weave - and I have a couple pulls I didn’t even know about! :lol:

I did post a picture of the other, just up thread a bit. It’s post #9317, but I’d be happy to post another!

The money for the second bag I sold did arrive!
So it´s 2 bags out for October!
I sold my Pollini and am very happy about it.

The bag was lovely, looked brand new, but must have been sitting on my shelf for about 5 years and I did not wear it once. It sold for exactly what I paid (including shipping) when I bought it. Hopefully the new owner will wear it.

Well done!

I have gotten to the point that there is really no other LV that I want, which is good! I bought two in October...both pre-owned, both DE. Alma PM and a Saleya PM. The Saleya was the bag I really wanted but the Alma was an offer I couldn’t refuse, plus I did not think I would find a good deal on a Saleya when I decided to get it.

My dilemma...I am thinking of selling the Alma PM DE since the Saleya is about the same size and a more wearable style for me. Plus I have another Alma PM in Mono that was a gift from my husband and I will never get rid of. I know I could probably make a little money on it too. Should I sell it or should I wait, since I just got it and it is a classic?

It does not sound like you will use it. I would sell.

Hi BowieFan1971, the question I will start with is will you use both the Alma PM DE and Saleya? If yes, then keep and enjoy carrying them.
I do hear hesitation, you say the Saleya is the bag you really wanted. Can you examine why you bought the Alma? Classic or not is irrelevant to me if I am not using a bag. Feel free to talk about your goals with this group, are you looking to downsize your closet, be a mindful shopper, curate your closet ...? Hopefully some reflection can help you answer your question for your specific situation and bag wardrobe. :flowers:

The delicious scent of Dior leather is filling my room like the golden starburst in the current Dior Cosmetics Christmas ad...

...my impulse purchase arrived today!
I´m very happy with this bag and still cannot believe I got it at this far too good to be true price. It looks so much better in person than it did on all the photos in the listing.

Drumroll.... here she is:

Dior New Lock from 2011, patent leather, GHW. The colour is a strange curry-golden beige.

I was reluctant because of the circumstances of the purchase and because of the GHW, too. Seeing the bag in person I do not mind the gold anymore. It´s dulled by time which serves me very well!

The bag came with its papers and the second key.

Sorry, the bad light in my room combines with the camera flash make the rich colours of both my coat and the bag look very pale.

I can´t find any clear information on the original price of this bag. Does anybody know, please?
