Well done i.d., Mariapia!

I am undecided about rockstud spike bag.
Is meant to be "everyone's" bag. And often clutched through top handle.
Worn with wide variety of clothing.
More spongy bag to hold, less structured--cannot decide if seems cheaper quality because of this?

Unsure if lots of rockstuds suit my lifestyle.
I predict clattering noise. And sun-heated metal rivets burning flesh.
But is cute design & pretty popular. Fun in all the colors.

Ohhh. There is even a video around. Now I feel a bit stupid that I did not know the bag. [emoji85]

Check the studs before buying the Rockstud.
They sometimes fall off.
And that would be bad.
Smash and grab at the local Chanel boutique in the Saks Fifth Avenue yesterday.
Chased the perps for 60 miles. Caught 7 out of 12.
THATS dedication for you. Plus overtime.

Only valentino rockstuds I own are on embroidered guitar strap. Still doing fine.
Not convinced I need more, yet.;)

Chanel has been hit with several such robberies, recently.:frown:
I blame ebay, sadly. For making stolen goods so easy to resell anonymously.

I've wondered about that, when I see all the NWT items there. I mean, I understand one of us selling a bag she no longer uses. And said bag might be in great condition, because we all take good care of our bags. But all these supposedly pristine bags... where are they coming from? Did they fall off a truck? Disappear from the back room of a boutique? Makes me very uncomfortable, and I've never bought one.

There are many robberies like this lately. Many boutiques have certain barriers in front of their shopping windows so you cannot drive a van into them.
Blaming ebay is wise. It is easy to sell stuff there. For consignment you need at least some paperwork about your bags. At least I guess. Never put something to consignment. [emoji3]

I received a cute video today (unfortunately in German). The text paraphrased roughly is:

"Vegetables, salads, low-fat products and cucumbers are off to their well deserved break until the 7th of January. In the meantime roast goose, leg of lamb, fat sauces and lebkuchen will take care of your physical well-being. Mission "f*** a perfect body shape" starts now."

I had to laugh to hard. [emoji23]

That's very funny, ludmilla!

I have to ask... what is lebkuchen? Is it a kind of a pastry?
