ahhhhhh thank you SO much for sharing! not many in-person photos available so this is a jewel.
those crystal-studded boots are absurd (but also more beautiful than i thought they'd be!)

did you get the varenne tote (the photos!) or the quad XS? if the latter, do you have any closer photos of those??
thank you thank you!
i just got the varenne tote, unfortunately i have no other close ups of the quad but you might be able to find some on insta

sooooo, Selfridges delivered! here are some of the photos ...

Varenne XS featuring SM, the phone case, and the two shoes (I'll return one!). Leather on the Varenne is okay, sturdy; the PU on the phone is not great but the case is actually very functional size; and the sneakers are actually stunning but two issues: shoebox / toe area is quite narrow so wondering if I needed to size up :sad:; and the leather will totally wrinkle upon first wear. Will have to live with it... Or just treat as a collectible...

On the shoes, any votes on which one to keep vs return??

I think the black and white is easier to coordinate but the rainbow are just so special - I vote to keep the rainbow!

I ordered the two shoes you got as well! (Still not arrived from Selfridges). If they fit, I would keep both as they are so special, and you can't order them anywhere now.
I also ordered the bag in blue which is also not here yet. I wonder how the quality is. I never have any Jimmy Choo bag and only bought it because of Sailormoon.

Yes, I wonder how much stock they made - it feels like very limited run and LV sold out in like a day, Selfridges the next. I didn't think the other shoes were special enough, but thought the trainers were :biggrin:.

On the leather of the handbags, definitely not as soft or supple as our other favorite brand (even compared to the satin leather), and the threadwork is just okay. But the Varenne Quad XS is at least the better quality out of the other bags, and the faux pearls are fun. I got the Kiss Scene too so will post photos when it arrives. let me know what you think when the blue gets there!

On the shoes, the designs are good fun - and I agree that the black and white is easier to match but the rainbow is more special! Caveat: if you look at the reviews online of the diamond maxi, there's some criticism of how easily they wrinkle. Wide feet here too so the narrowness of the toe box is a bit concerning - love to get your read too!

@lemonlime46 or others, what do people think about the PU leather on the phone case or the cardholders? not sure i love it enough to keep it; the material doesn't have a supple texture even though i appreciate the manga print. i'm thinking of returning it

@Tarochan would love your thoughts on the varenne xs bag too when you get it!! the kiss scene arrived! this is definitely a bag I wouldn't normally have gotten but for the collab... But it's such an iconic scene

I don't mind it so much to be honest. I knew I was paying more for the manga print than the leather quality

The bag with the kiss scene looks beautiful and glad you got it! I received the blue bag a couple of days ago together with the shoes. I will try to find time to take some photos soon. Like many of you guys, I also bought the items just because of the collab and I would not have bought them otherwise. I was not super impressed with quality so very much, but really I look at them as collectibles or fashion pieces more than something for practical uses. I also got the Luna card holder which is a bit on the odd size and the strap was quite rigid. For the shoes, I wore the black sneakers the other day. They are definitely cute and stylish with a bit of heel. They are definitely keepers. :smile:

Here is my Sailor Mercury bag! It's so cute although I don't know which occasion I will be using. I definitely love the sneakers as they are definitely more practical for me as compared to the colorful high heels. :heart:

Love it! Model the blue sometime!! i think the length of the strap is good btw - right length for cross-body and not too long if you just to wear it as a shoulder bag.

The heels on these shoes are awesome - love the bounce and support. the narrowness still bothers me a bit but i'll just wear thin socks :) you and i look like same shoe size btw!!

I got the rainbow in 38 and the black in 38.5. They both fit!

tried out the varenne xs today - was nice and fun! bag is a bit small for the iphone but otherwise roomy enough to accommodate phone + cardholder + some makeup. white leather does mean that i probably babied it too much (i.e., wore it underneath jacket) but ah well.

The Mercury bag is the best one bc it has Luna on the front!!! :heart:(pretend this is a blue heart!) I didn't buy anything from the collection but the Luna tag would have been it had been a bit more budget friendly. Sooo cute!!! :catlick::catlick::catlick:
