My purchase on our recent trip to Paris. This is only my second LV bag and I ended up getting the tourterelle/crème. I'm in love with the design and colour and its so soft View attachment 5762388:loveeyes:

We have only been back a few days though and back to work so I haven't had a chance to try the bag out but when I went to try today I'm struggling a little bit with the zipper. Its very hard to open/close and keeps pulling. Its actually impossible without holding the zipper closed with one hand and closing with the other.

I'm actually worried about the zipper pulling and wearing over time.
I was considering bringing the bag back to my local store for them to look at as I wasnt sure I'm happy with how its pulling. Maybe thats just how they are? As I said its only my second bag and my first was a NéoNoé so no zipper.View attachment 5762402
Does anyone else own the petit palais and know if this is just how the zippers are on them?
Beautiful bag, and congratulations on your purchase! But sorry to hear about the zipper. While most of the zippers on my bags have been smooth (LV, or otherwise), I occasionally get a difficult one. The trick I use, which I learned here on tPF, is to run some wax paper over it, then open and close the zipper a few times to distribute the wax in the teeth. It’s easier to use than a crayon and colorless; it won’t leave any residue, either. That has worked like a charm in the past for me! As bags age, I’ve found zippers also sometimes get a bit tough, likely from lots (and lots!) of use, and this same strategy has brought those zippers back to life.

These shoes (archlight 2.0 sneakers) were sooo impulse purchase. I didnt even had appointment today, but my SA clocked me from the queue and I got in immediately. Gotta love her. I enquired about the Ivy on chain but the availability is still ****, then I tried the new small Cluny and fell in love with these chunky shoes. So home I go with them.

A bit earlier in April, i got the nanogram wallet and my monogram large Square sunnies (apparently they dont make These anymore, i wanted them in pink too..)

Thank you lovely PaP ❤️ you always say the nicest things possible. And yeah, nothing will bring me my happiness and normal life back, but at least these help my mind to go some other direction than wallowing. God knows I do it enough anyway.
 
In love with this mini Capucines that my husband got for my birthday (which is in a couple of weeks)-it’s from the Ramadan capsule collection. I’ve always liked the Capucines and was just waiting until I found a colour combo that I love and now I finally have one:love: it’s the only LV bag that I have in my collection now (sold a few that i didn’t really love) I do plan to add the petite Malle in the classic mono soon:graucho:

Congratulations @Familyfirst on your gorgeous capucines. Wear her in the best of health and happiness :hugs:
If you can only have 1 LV bag that is a pretty spectacular one to have :smile:
 
My package arrived already today! What shall I say, she‘s beautiful and definitely a keeper
:loveeyes:

Very smooth leather strap, right length for me. Love the rose interior against the dark brown. And I swear they use different hardware now, the zipper pulls and D-rings are much more shiny!
:coolio:

I went and did it. I got a fifth Kusama bag. I am visiting London and went to Bond St only to check out the decoration. But then this bag had to be on display … I couldn’t resist once I tried it, the shape suits the pumpkins so well…! I still think of a couple more bags in this collection but this girl has boundaries and will now apply them.
