Will a US boutique transfer an accessory in from another country (between $500- $1K)? I came across an item on the website and there isn’t one available in the US.
There's a chance they might. When I patronized a boutique for some time years ago they would offer to do a worldwide search for a scarf not in their inventory. Your request is easier b/c you know what you want.

I agree with everything Eagle just mentioned. I believe Fashionphile has good authenticators. Sometimes people buy things in the heat of the moment, bring it home and after the return period realize it does not suit his or her lifestyle. It's better to get some $ back and use the proceeds for something else rather than just have it sit in the closet or jewelry box.

It's great for people who buy in the resale market because you can buy beautiful items at less than retail. And if you decide to sell, you do not realize as much of a loss. I recently got a steal on an Hermes silver bracelet with a gorgeous agate cameo of a horse. I got the item at half off the reseller price because the store took terrible photos of the item. I KNEW what it was and purchased it. It was not returnable. But I did not care.
A jewelry designer carried by NM, Elizabeth Locke, does intaglios, or so I remember from 10 years ago when I used to browse in NM. She used very nice stones for her gemstone rings, tourmaline, zircon, etc.

EB what do you think of the NM closing, the one on the other side of town from you?

It really does not affect me much. Since Hermes left that store, I really had very little reason to go back there. I rarely shop at NM anymore since my SA left NM. I shop at Saks in Tysons for expensive RTW as I have a fabulous private shopper.

With my retirement and consulting gig, I rarely get dressier than jeans. But that may also be due to the pandemic.

I love Elizabeth Locke. I like to drive to The Other Elizabeth in Boyce, VA. It’s fabulous.

Hi does anyone ever purchase hermes from femme.authentic ( she based in Indonesia )
There's a thread on "Discuss Hermes resellers and ebay" under Hermes shopping. The latter is one of the first threads listed at the top of the page that is the overview of all the threads contained in the Hermes forum.

It is so much fun to have a private shopper. When G Street Fabrics resided on G Street (its original location) they had shopping assistance like that. I had a celadon tweed suit that I loved which she paired with (fabric for) a turquoise blouse and golden brown pants. I never would have thought of that combination which I loved.

It is a Togo Bleu Encre. I LOVE LOVE your pictures. It makes me want to snuggle them. I was heartbroken about the little Joey who passed. I am such a sucker for the injured animals from the fire. Thank you so much for posting them. Your posts are the little things that make me happy during this pandemic. Thank you.
My fellow Koala lover, @Gnuj, feels the same as you do, @haute okole. And I do, too! :hugs: :hugs: :flowers::idea: These animals are just so expressive (mums and joeys nuzzling and hugging each other, it's just so beautiful. And, as Gnuj says, it's cuteness overload. They really do look like teddy bears and will happily accept a stuffed teddy to cling to if mum's not around. In creating koalas Mother Nature created the prototype of a teddy bear. That thought cheers me up.

Haute okole, Gnuj, and of course @etoupe Birkin, I'm very pleased you enjoy these pictures. Thank you all.
 
@Rouge H Good news, I hear from the group Koala Lives Matter that Anwen was released to the wild. And so was Itty. (The "Itty" from the photo I posted in Chat: "Itty and Harry are hatching a plot.").
I had to search for Anwen since I’ve been out of the loop. So glad she’s recovered and been released. Thanks to all the rescuers and carers. Last year I followed the fires news along with many others around the world. I think Canada sent about 170+ firefighters to Australia last year. Last summer we had bad forest fires in the northern part of our province as well but I don’t think we have many animals that weren’t able to escape south (wolves, bears, moose, caribou, deer, foxes, etc. tend to run rather fast). I believe we’re gearing up for another dry summer which is conducive to fires.

Just curious, how long do koalas live?

Is the agate black agate or red agate or (I doubt this) a yellow with maybe a slight brown undertone, like a bit muted?

If the agate is black I think we have the same bracelet, got it in 2019. Mine's a little snug but the bracelet was so different from H's pure silver items that H carries I decided to get it. At the same time I got a coordinating silver chain necklace with 3 or 4 thumbnail slabs of agate in black, red, yellow. (Would like more slabs but I have an agate bead necklace I'll probably pair with it to give it some presence).
