Any one know how to get smells out of bags? My mom gave me her Pochette Accesories because she decided she didn’t like it and wasn’t really using it. But it has the smell of big red gum because she was using it as a catch all in her large bags at the end. It’s not like the smell is bad, I just like my things to not have a smell at all or still smell like new. Ha. And I don’t want the smell to come off onto my LV SLG that I put in it. Will that happen? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Oh man, I love the smell of Big Red! How funny, I just got a vintage Pochette also that is a bit stinky and found a post on this site that mentioned using odour absorbing crystals like Damp Rid to absorb odours so will try that. Also baking soda. Thread:

Thanks for the tips! I’ll give some a try. I don’t mind the smell of big red really, but I just don’t really want the bag to smell like anything. Haha and it’s just got a strong presence (might be a mix of another sent in there too). I tried to use it once and it bugged me so bad it’s back to being empty and sitting on my dinning room table to continue to air out. I’ve had LV bags for a few years and they still smell like new.

I need a little tech shopping help. As tech savvy as I am, one thing I have never gotten into was PayPal or EBay. And I'm not much of a FaceBook fan either. But I've recently joined an LV group on Facebook and you can only purchase through PayPal. I have a PayPal account (only used once in 2009, but I've updated all the info) .... So here's my question: When they say "to buy something you have to be invoiced through PayPal" does that mean I pm my PayPal info to the seller? Would they contact me through Facebook with a PayPal invoice? Do I go to the PayPal site and put the seller's info in the "send money" section? Do any of you ever buy LV items this way? Any help would be appreciated. I've never bought a Pre-Loved item, but I've seen a few things I'm interested in.

If I remember correctly, you would give the seller your email address you use in PayPal and they'll send you an invoice. You'll then pay it through PayPal. Just make sure the invoice includes a description of what you're buying.

Ugh normally I don't pay attention to silly comments from people, however I am super jet lagged and today is my first day back at work. Someone has already made a comment "I met a buyer for Louis Vuitton in Indonesia and he told me that the $40 knock off is made in the same factory as LV"... I hope my face portrayed a "that's nonsense AND I didn't ask your opinion" look :whut::lol:

Of course LV don't keep an eye on employees, where and how much is made, goes out of the factory etc...

This is a vent. I have sold LV on eBay before but I am now preferring a Facebook group I belong to because those people know their prices and are not rude. I just listed a LV Speedy B 25 on eBay (not sure why I didn't first list on the FB group - perhaps eBay is a tad easier). My bag is like new and I listed it for $300 less than current retail ($1,430) plus sales tax. I was not totally firm on the price but it was a reasonable fmv starting point. Anyway, this person messaged me saying "A new 2018 Speedy is only $950 and you are asking $300 more for a used bag so will you take $650?" I responded politely educating HER on the new prices and thanked her for her interest. But, why not educate yourself first before you get sarcastic, negative and insulting? Ugh. So, I ended the eBay listing and listed on the FB group.

I completely understand ur pain. I’ve been selling a lot of LV pieces on EBay also and it can be so frustrating. It amazes me how creative ppl can get. When I get lowball offers like that I just ignore it. I even had psycho buyers that wouldn’t get the hint and kept messaging me - for days lol. It’s even more crazy when they create a new account and message you all over again lol. No I’m not selling you my barely used LV for such an insulting price and no I’m not accepting any installments either. It deff has learned me to think twice now before buying any new LV in the future.

Hello Bag lovers, I need your help!

I got a call from LV as my Palm Spring Mini has arrived. I have been waiting for this bag since 3 months, but when I got that call I was kind of excited but NOT THAT excited. Now I have 4 days to think whether I should take it or not.

When I ordered that bag I was so excited and I was waiting and waiting, but now since it arrived I am not that excited anymore. There was a time when I was so thrilled on getting that bag but now.... not anymore. is that not weird.

Currently in my small bag collection list: Favourite MM, 2x Pochette Metis, 1x YSL, 1x WOC from Fendi.

Should I take it or not?? Was the waiting time to long or does it mean that actually I DO NOT NEED THAT Bag but I am afraid if I let it I would regret of not getting it, but if I get it I am afraid that I would not use it that much!!! HELPPPPPP PLEASE

I’d pass. To me, I’d rather have to get on the waiting list again than spending on a bag I don’t love. I’ve found that there will always be another bag released that piques my interest and I’d rather hold off until it’s one I love than miss out because I bought one I merely liked.
