EU Chatting and Stalking

[Mapoon]

How “gold and silver” are the card holders? Last year there was a silver glittery men’s soft trunk. Is it that kind of silver? Or brighter and shinier?

Correction - just saw @Emphosix reply…hmmm I like both but I do prefer the silver version better….decisions!!

Help ladies! SO I unfortunately did not order the bum bag before it was discontinued. I found one for 3300 brand new. Does anyone on here who has the bum bag think its "worth it" I know its a lot but I definitely think Id get a lot of use out of it. I also wonder if LV is coming with a new bum bag? Maybe then Id just hold off to see that one (or get both hehe). Anyway, Im here for all the bum bag reviews good AND bad so I can make a good investment.

You ladies need to teach me the product comparison trick. How does that work?

For example for the new item there is only the price in AUD - then I look for an item on the Australian website that has the same price but which has been released already in Europe too, so I can then look on the European site what the price in EUR is - voilà the price which the new item should have in EUR. I hope that’s understandable, I‘m terrible at explaining things

Off topic, has someone here ever bought something from Cider? I keep getting advertisements here on the site and I wonder what it is.

Thank you for thinking along! I’m a real tiny bag lady, in my Speedy 25 I could get in 2 other bags, a whole Kirigami set and sunglasses in case and some small stuff like keys. I’m still amazed myself but that’s why I think a 30 would be perfect and a 45 too big. I’m afraid I would use a Speedy 30 also only on holiday because going anywhere else I would take a tiny bag. So yeah not sure to spent so much money on a pre loved bag I would use so little. I’m just a sucker for limited editions, ugh

I’m usually really easy in making decisions for myself what to buy and what not. But this got me buggin for a while now

funny, for me the speedy 30 is a smaller bag
i only use the keepall when traveling and I don't regret having bought it for this purpose, even if i only use it seldom. but basically i would recommend you to only buy a bag if you are 100% convinced of it. i first bought the straws and pouch set because plastic straws are banned in germany and i hate paper straws. they are in monogram and actually i'm not a classic monogram girl. i also love limited editions. now i regretted it 2 months later when i saw the set in sunrise pastel. i think if you spend a lot of money on something you should really want the product. unfortunately I know it when nan wants something for a specific use and buys something that you are not totally enthusiastic about. if you usually make quick decisions and now think about it for so long, maybe the right bag wasn't there yet.

This is so true actually!

That made sense, great tip! I've done this before too and it's very helpful

Off topic but I wandered into Chanel inspired by all your beautiful Chanel unboxings- BIG mistake- saw a really cute little pouch in pink caviar that's new season and can fit phone, has 3 card slots and a slip pocket . I haven't shopped properly at Chanel in years and know nothing about coloured caviar leather. How does it hold up over time?

Also saw this at LV - @nicole0612 I thought of you! I remember you liked green bags too


S LOck Vertical i think it's called. This is $3050 AUD , magnetic closure and LEATHER strap! The strap was detached halfway and I didn't want to spend time putting it together



Synthetic interior

Very vibrant colour!

Also an SA informed me July 7 launch date for rock-climbing in stores here, that's about 2 weeks earlier than I originally heard

Thank you! I love green, but I think I will hold out for the other items on my growing wishlist. I pushed this aside on my wishlist for the keepall 25 in kelly green, but now I am thinking that may be too large for me. I want something from rock climbing, the Hobo cruiser is so nice but kind of pricy. The chalk pouch is priced well but I’m not sure about the cinched top; maybe I could just leave it open and tucked inside. I do like the standing pouch a lot also, but I don’t seem to use pouches as much as I mean to. What are you looking at from rock climbing?
I love Chanel caviar. Some versions are hardier than others, but there are no “bad” caviars now (in years past they had sueded caviar and other variations on caviar that aged badly). Pink in caviar is a HG for many! Just be careful about color transfer, like you would with any pink leather.

I love your collection of summery goodness! And I love those shoes…I jumped online and got myself a pair - thank you for sharing

Thank you! I'm so glad you found a pair of these Toms, they are so cute!

I get these too…looks like a Dior knock off…

Thanks for the caviar advice!

I'm not sure what I'd like from the rock-climbing, everything looks good! I'll wait to see in person, same with the florals- it's just a whopper of a collection!

Agree re: the chalk pouch, it can rain a fair bit here and I have enough totes/bucket bag-type open top bags. Look forward to seeing what you decide

I live in a city known for its rain as well! That is a good point It will be fun to see what we end up with!

I googled it, it’s a Chinese fast fashion retailer.

I wonder too! I downloaded the app, it looks like a more expensive and fancy Shein? But I can’t figure out where they ship from and if you have to pay import duties.
