I love it, its very light and so pretty. Although to use the C18, i have to downsize my wallet to a calvi and a bastia. Fits my phone, keys and a lipstick. Only for the C18

very user friendly, love that you can double strap it for a more formal look and use it crossbody as well. i dont use a full sized wallet generally due to mini bags, i use this with my calvi. fits everything i need! i have 3 C18s for this reason

Thank you for your input ! Now I’m super excited. SA hinted that she may be able to get a C18 for me. Though I really want a B or K as my first Hermes bag, but C would be more practical as I love carrying crossbody and generally more casual while in SG.
Another question: hardware protector and bag insert - yay or nay? I came across OrangeShields for hardware protection and bag inserts are pretty rare but available on carousell. I was wondering if it would be an overkill for a C18 given there’s already limited space …

You can try samorga for the bag inserts. They have thin ones. I use them just to protect the inside leather. For the protectors, I use Orangeshields or Havredeluxe.

Perfect thanks for this

Hello! Just want to say you’re not alone with feeling this way - for Liat. Hope this helps u!

There have been couple of new things recently - saw the Kelly/ Constance necklace too but I suspect maybe it’s not what you’re keen on. Perhaps just continue to make appointment so you can drop by and look around?

I shall try that ;D
All the best!!

Hello guys, does anyone know usually how frequent the shipments come in at liat tower?

I'm looking to make more purchases to get a Kelly 25 sellier in light neutral color with GHW (so far I've purchased 14K of non-bag items) but my SA always tells me there's no shipment though

I know the ratio for the combo i like should be higher than 1:1 (I want Craie the most but I did tell my SA that I'm open to any light neutral colors) so of course I'm willing to spend more so I can get my dream bag, BUT whatever I asked my SA for (be it clothes, scarves, shoes, accessories or jewelries) my SA told me no shipment came in at all therefore there's nth I like for me to buy (either no size or just no stock)...

The last time my SA told me to go shop for new shipment was in mid-May (almost 6 weeks ago) and my SA said no restocking since then, so it's been a month. I know there's covid but, a month? It seems like MBS and Taka are always restocking...

I really wanna purchase more soon so I can hit the quota for my bag sooner, I really wanna know if anyone hears about new shipments at Liat recently.

It'd be really helpful if any of you could share your experiences at Liat with me because honestly it's starting to get quite frustrating

Thank you guys for sharing! Really appreciate it! I guess I'll try to make an appt soon

I shop at Liat and I think each time I went, my SA showed me something new or mentioned about new shipments. First time, SA said got new shipment came in some Twillys (but in all honesty, not much variety), another time, new Kelly/Constance/Birkin necklaces and another time, some new scarfs (albeit in the men's department) and I noticed some new shoes as well on my own. I didn't mention this to make you more upset, but more to assure you that there are new items, but perhaps your SA meant that there was no match to your wishlist items, similar to a few other members' hypothesis.

I feel it would be good to clarify with her as this will not be good for your own emotional health to be upset... happyshopping! Hope your Craie comes true!

Hi Ka3na20, did you use the Orangeshields protector for a long period of time? Does it affect the hardware if you stick it for a long time? I have heard about the Orangeshields protector but was afraid to stick anything to the hardware.

Yes I use them for a long period of time. I apply the protectors for every new bag before I use them actually, no problem so far for me.

I have tried Havredeluxe previously, and there were glue residues after removing which i had to rub/clean them off the hardware. Is the Orangeshields better?

have seen many ladies keeping the original stickers on, and the hardware oxidise especially the 4 corners (those part which isn't covered by the stickers). Does your hardware still looks new without oxidise?

I prefer Orangeshields for Hermes. I only use havredeluxe for my non-Hermes, like LV metis and Chanel flap. I haven't removed the original stickers of my Kelly (see pic below), so far no oxidation whatsoever. I bought the bag in October 2019 and haven't used it for so long due to covid lockdown here and there.


On another note, here is my another kelly in noir (bought Dec. 2017) where I removed the orangeshields as I need to replace the protectors with new ones already.

Thanks for sharing the photos!
I'm guessing... the PHW stays rather new-looking as compare to GHW/RGHW.
I seen oxidise on GHW/RGHW, but not the PHW.

by the way your black ghw, the 4 nuts not covered by the sticker looks abit color faded? or is that due to lighting?

Yes they are faded already but I don't mind. My kelly noir's 4 nuts has seen better days haha. The bag has travelled the world with me and I've used it like crazy. Other than that, the bag looks pretty new so I have no complaints. RGHW oxidises more than any other hardware, at least in my experience. I have the constance in rosegold hardware and I polish the H buckle with polishing cloth once in a while.

care to share which polish cloth u use ? can use for both rghw and ghw?

i think... those 4 nuts turns black on both rghw and ghw, not the PHW.
my KDT bracelet ghw also 4 nuts black already.
