I made an appt with an SA with Cartier over 3 weeks ago to go have a look at some rings today...but sadly due to the torrential rain in Queensland/Brisbane....I decided this morning not to go and cancelled my appt...and the only C store is in the city and it's near the river which has now overflown with boats and things drifting away...walkways submerged....gosh it brings back memories when I lost my car in the floods about 7 years ago....Im glad I decided not to go at 6.30am this morning (surprised Hubby didnt suggest not to go) and he know Im disappointed and the store has closed today too due to this...good decision made...Hermes opposite was open but has since closed...LV and Chanel on the other end of the spectrum is still open (based on website search) hope they can close and let their staff go back safely...I am safe where I am as our place is uphill...there are many ppl losing power and having water in their homes....

Some photos of how bad it is and is getting worse as the rain hasnt stopped since it started last Wed...

But on the better side...my taigarama PO has been shipped!! That means I can prob pick it up next Sat when I see my SA to pick my my viv bandeau (which I saved $20 on haha)...hope the cch wont take too long....

So what did I do today? I tidied up my drawer with the LV slg boxes (with H) and receipts...to make space for these 2 new slgs...put all the box ribbons in a box...a lady on insta suggested I use the pyramid set up take a photo top down with LV showing on top for my feed...hahahah...I was definitely bored...
Glad your safe, it was a wise decision not to go!
 
What was everyone’s first bag, and did you plan to buy more than one? Mine was a Speedy B25 in mono. I purchased it online for our 10th anniversary and I swore it would be the only one I ever bought. For some reason, my card payment wouldn’t go through so I ended up purchasing through client services where the lady could see it was my first purchase and congratulated me. She also told me it would not be last. I disagreed with her and laughed it off as I was sure it would be my one and only. 6 years later, my collection has grown substantially. Turns out she was right! The LV addiction is real! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
My first bag from LV was in 2015 a preloved PA in DE for around 250€, just a few months later I bought myself as a birthday present the Speedy 30 in DE. I wanted this bag so badly after seeing it on my EX his sis, she also worked for LV :giggle:
 
@girlwithbagissues mine was my moms Saumur as her last inherit to me before she passed away 14 years ago . And the hubbie gave me Speedy B35 DE 9 years ago. I didnt buy any LV or other luxury bags with my own money up til 5 years ago. My mantra was : ok , last one … Just this one and Im done … Says nobody !!! :biggrin: :lol: Fast forward , around 20 ish bags/ clutch and still cant stop . If there is rehab for bags addiction , I will be the first one to signed up:lol:

Mine was Alma PM DE. Actually technically Speedy 25 DE but after I brought it home, I realised it’s not it and replaced it on the next day for Alma. It was in 2016. I thought that’s it, I finaly have LV bag and don’t need another. I purchased 2 other bags in 2017 already and then stopped for few years and started again (like crazy :lol: ) during pandemic. it is definitely addictive :loveeyes: I had the same story with Maldives trip. We were saving for like a year to get there in 2012 and it was supposed to be our once in a lifetime trip. In 2 months I am going for 5th time and am planning our 10th wedding anniversary there again in 2 years time.


I am also curious what is your most used bag from your collection? I thought it should have been one of my first purchased since I have it for longest time but I think I am using bigger pochette from MPA the most. Second most used is Retiro. I was wearing this bag almost everyday to work once I purchased.
 
Wow, another person with an all leather first bag! Great choice though! And yes, I was the same… no way am I going to buying more of these… then oops another, and another, and another :lol: :lol: :lol:

I actually don’t mind if a bag is canvas or leather! I just buy whatever I like and don’t really worry much about the material or resale value. With one exception for bags over 2k, if they don’t do well on resale market I really have to love it 110% before I buy it. Luckily I’m mostly into mini bags and they rarely go over 2k (at least for now, ask me again after another 3 PI’s:lol:)
 
Hahaha I feel you @Mapoon , my boy is same age as ur girl , his life at the moment just revolves around PS, Tiktok and Roblox .. The girl is just so much complicated , she is all over and the attitude just killing me .. May God bless us all when they hit teenagers age :annoyed: :annoyed:

Im ordering Large Boy calfskin black in black metal hardware:biggrin: Was in the big city Friday to drop off my Noe for reparation and passed by Chanel boutique might as well to see what they have . BIG MISTAKE ! It was always my dream bag , the Boy . And finally I dare to pull the trigger since now I have some fund for it and see it in RL.IWas actually aiming for the Boy but doesnt really fits with my posture so I choose the Large Boy instead . The SA told me that it was made to order ? I dont know much about Chanel as much as LV to argue so I just paid and hope to Chanel gods that I can have it in 3 months:blush:
Can’t wait for your unboxing of the Large Boy bag! :loveeyes:
 
I was able to finally go to my LV...2 hour drive was praying the whole journey I wouldn’t go into labour in the car :lol: really went in to see was the speedy b 25 in DA something easily ordered....will be here within 3-5 days:doh::doh::doh: good news is I now have a SA:yahoo:
Ahh that is so amazing, I'm pleased it worked out for you and it was worth the journey! Can't wait to see your speedy 25! :love: :loveeyes:
 
Forgot about the scarf love it! First time doing an in store order.....it’s not showing in my online account, does this Bag still count towards the “6 leather goods” items in 4 weeks like online?

My store order showed up in my online account the day I picked it up from store! You will get an email once it has arrived in store and store purchases also count towards to limit rules unfortunately :flowers:
 
Can’t wait for your unboxing of the Large Boy bag! :loveeyes:
Me too ! :lol: Im sweating bullets when I came to the store , and sweat even more when I swiped my card. Never been so nervous in my life , its like walking into the Headmasters office in there:lol::lol: So tense and all the SA was so uptight , looked me in one eye:annoyed: Once I said what I want thennnn they start being nice to me .. Glad that this bag will be my one and only Chanel(again , says noooobooooodyyy) since my first experience wasnt all that good:sad:

Sorry to hear it wasn’t such a positive experience. Spending so much money should be delightful. I heard so many negative stories about Chanel that even though I keep eyeing the Mini square flap, I stick to LV because visiting the store is always so nice :)
Anyway, excited about your first Chanel!!

What a wonderful gift from your mom ❤️ Definitely something to treasure! And I totally subscribe to the “last one” mentality too… so I guess I’ll have to join you at handbag rehab as I can’t seem to stop either! :lol:

Aww I’m so jealous! I am dying to go to the Maldives! I bet it is beautiful. We have a 7yo daughter though and I have a feeling it might be better as a couples getaway rather than a family trip so possibly for a big anniversary? What do you think?
My most used was my mono speedy B25 which was my first bag and it remained in the number one spot for years until I got my Pochette Metis, since then the PM has had my heart and I just cannot put it down!
