EU Chatting and Stalking

For canvas? Crikey . To me it’s looks dated and a little old fashioned. Someone in the comments said it looks like the PA and wallet had a baby .

I saw someone selling a vintage bag in one of the Facebook groups and it had exactly these type of pockets with a buckle on the front. I see what you do here LV, bringing back the oldies

Maybe in classic mono it would look better. It seems extremely expensive considering it’s not in leather. Effectively you’re paying an additional €750 for a PA that has buckled pocket and an adjustable strap. I don’t get it. Or am I missing something .

Hahahaha, I’m sorry dear I remember now, it was @EveyB looking for a caramel bag a while ago

Thank you for thinking of me!
I am still looking for a caramel or cognac bag, but without cream logos. We’ll see what else comes out for fall.

I had this bag on the back of my mind because I looooove the white canvas but with this price, nevermind I would pay max €1400 for this Didn’t @Emphosix mention there was something special about this canvas, extra sturdy or something? Correct me if I’m wrong please

Eeek it’s in stock! It wasn’t when I checked during the week…… preloved Palm Springs or the key pouch….decisions!!

I love this kind of decision, but I also get the agony think we can all relate! Good luck deciding!

 

[bagsamplified]

Never liked it either. I tried but just couldn't get into it .

I remember Fredrik is your favourite from MDL. Here's my response to you guys not liking Friends :



Been watching MDLLA again- reruns

Thank you, doesn’t help I’m the most indecisive person in the world…a real Uncle Bryn for any Gav and Stacey fans!

I'm a collection behind, but I went and compared the SITC Kirigami and 100ml Sunrise Pastel case. The 100ml case has beautiful glow which doesn't come out well on camera. The colour way is different to other SP pieces, I think they all differ slightly eg. 100ml seemed to have more greens than Kirigami. @bellababe I agree it makes a beautiful display piece!

My Daily Pouch also made it out in my tote. I remember now why I love pouches so much. I used to carry them heaps before WFH and when I flew a lot. It's going to be so fun coming with me back to the office and maybe the Kirigami and / or 100ml car might join us

Such great pops of colour in a bigger bag! @Bumbles you are right that it's a great option if you can't decide on SP/MF .

I ran out of camera space but I tried on the Stardust MPA in pink, it was my first time trying on the pink and seeing it in person... SWOOON... but it might be too candy bright for me.. I will wait for the SLGs to be in store here! Wish the pink cles was available in more countries

What another fab day you’ve had at LV! The kirigami and perfume case both look so pretty in their own way! And definitely each piece is slightly different in colourway depending which part of the canvas they used. The perfume case does looks more tea/green for sure. I’m also getting a sense you’re about to make a decision on one of them to add to your collection?! Did you end up bringing something home? I hope so! Would be so excited for you, as like me you’ve been eyeing this collection for a while too and been going back and forth and undecided! You can’t go wrong with either, as they are both stunning and statement pieces. Keep us posted on how you go!! I can tell you’ve narrowed your decision down ever so slightly and getting closer to what you want to choose. Good luck

I bought the Palm Springs…..eeek!

P

i got an email from Gucci about those trainers. They are so pretty. Are you going to get them?

Ah all this talk of Oz makes me miss home (NZ) hope to make it over next year to my beautiful Aotearoa

Speaking of working remotely, I thought I read recently that Adelaide in Oz was offering to pay for peoples’ flights there (from Europe, or maybe just the UK) for those going on work visas, to aid travel after Covid

Random question @bagsamplified but do you find with the humidity that it affects how you have to store your luxury bags etc? I know that humidity isn’t good for bags eg can cause mould etc so just wondered really.

@Struck by Designer Cupid sorry I missed your messages! I was off for like a day and look what I missed welcome back and Kia Ora neighbour!

I didn't buy the Adidas trainers but they are beautiful, I'm hoping everyone hates them and they appear at an outlet in my size somewhere I love Gucci outlets but none in Australia

I heard of government support for overseas healthcare workers to come here but not sure about the specifics and each State/Territory. It might not just be healthcare workers but of course they'd be the priority as well as aged care etc.

Humidity yes definitely- I actually used luxe bags a lot less in Qld because of that! @Mapoon and others would have more to say but for me, when I did have a luxe leather bag in the wet season at home, I'd use the Daiso dehumidifier beads- those tubs of beads that soak up moisture in closets and rooms. You may need more than 1 tub per cupboard! It did help. Unfortunately I've had mouldy bag from damp wardrobe before, luckily not luxe or expensive but still a special piece so that was disappointing- and that happened in winter! Don't know if you have Daiso in the UK but other places like maybe hardware stores, supermarkets, might sell them too.

Airflow is important too. I used to keep cupboard doors ajar so aircon would flow in , but you have to be wary of moths and other random flying Australian objects.. Daiso also sold cedar moth balls which seemed to work. Usually if aircons on and windows closed, there shouldn't be bugs flying inside of course but there's the chance of a random critter getting in when you just enter and leave the home.

You also don't want the aircon or fan directly on your bag or it'll dehydrate and risk cracking. And of course avoid direct sun when storing.

When I lived near the beach I also worried about salt potentially tarnishing the hardware. But only lived there a short while.

That being said, luxe is very popular in Queensland, some of the best shops are there, and it's probably the fastest growing luxe region in Australia with all the pandemic migration- so people definitely enjoy their goodies no matter the weather!

I hope you get to go visit Aotearoa again soon! Heard they just lifted their covid test requirements for entering so it'll be much easier

Took a photo of the stardust beige nano noe in natural day light, looks like it does have a slight goldish shimmer effect to it, not totally matte

Morning my favourite ladies and @Emphosix,
Oh what a weeks I had! First my daughter was really sick with 41 temperature for 7 days and then both me and hubby got covid (for the first time). 3 weeks later we finally (hopefull) recovered.
Not sure I mentioned before but we are building a dream house in a village on the seaside (there are only 2 houses where people are actually live, the rest are summer houses). I thought we will move there in X years (more like 10) but apparently my husband decided to do it quicker (in 2 years time). So now I am thinking, why am I buying all my luxuty goods Where would I wear it? Hubby is laughing that I will wear LV’s for mushroom picking and Chanels for blueberries (since my Chanel are smaller) . I am actually terrified, not sure if I could live in a village. I spent my whole adult life in London so that would be a life changing experience but in reality having a dream house 8 minutes driving from the beach with swimming pool sounds like a dream. Does anyone here live on a countryside and can share your experience?

Sorry to hear your daughter was sick and you and your husband caught covid . Glad you have all fully recovered and are feeling better. Congrats on your dream home . Sounds so exciting. Farming in Chanel and LV sounds hilarious, but why not do it in style . Is there a main town/village close by that you can drive to that has shops, pubs, restaurants etc.
