I have never seen those stickers before but they are a great idea!! No experience with their products unfortunately but would love to hear if other people have?
I am a panic person when it comes to beauty marks on new bags .... so kept the original sticker on it but it fell of very quickly. Now I have these and its not pretty and some may find it ridiculous but I am calm when I can‘t find the hole to close the lock and shuffle around with the closure... nothing can happen. When these stickers fall of the bag isnt new anymore and i will deal with the wear :noworry: its a bag after all..

Oh I completely understand. I got a smart watch in January and still have the protective sticker on the face. Just don't want it scratched.

I’ve bought so many products to try during lockdown so here’s my review:

From https://www.thehandbaghaven.co.uk/ I’ve tried the gentle foam cleanser, the nourishing conditioner and the wonder balm. Not a fan of the cleanser and conditioner, I much prefer this kit of the cleaner and the conditioner from handbag clinic which I have also have: https://www.handbagclinic.co.uk/care-products-c22/leather-care-kit-p40

I believe you can get it from amazon as well! I’ve used all items on vachetta. The wonder balm is very good from handbag haven though, extremely nourishing and works wonders on a very vintage piece or if you’ve scuffed up an all leather bag (Used before on Chanel and mulberry). It can darken vachetta though so be careful.

I used collonil carbon pro spray on my vachetta with no issues either.

That is such helpful information. Thank you:tup:
 
Spam away! Before you do, do any of you know how to turn off mail notifications? I'm getting spammed on my mail as well and I'd prefer not to :giggle:
If you just unwatch the thread, and click watch thread, it gives you the option to select “don’t recieve e-mail”
I don’t.... I think it’s in settings but for me I can’t seem to turn on my email notifications so weird... so I miss out but you get spammed.
 
Question: Do you sometimes step away from bags because of your age?! Sounds silly I know...

what I mean: I thought about the palm springs mini and use it as a real backpack on my back :giggle: (I dont like the straps of the larger version) Or Inthink about buying a Neverfull with rose ballerin interior :love:

Now the PSM is so small and I am afraid I am „too big“( sizewise )for it and it looks ridiculous and I am too old for it ... and the pink interior is pretty but I don‘t really wear pink and it is so girly .... that keeps me from it
I am in my mid thirties ....
btw how old are you ladies?! :smile:

I'm also in my mid thirties and I think you would rock a palm springs mini backpack. The neverfull with the rose ballet interior is ageless imo.
The only bag I've ever thought I might be too old for is one of the limited edition saddle bags from the Galliano era. The man is problematic af but he could put together a look.

I'm not a mini backpack (or backpack in general for that matter) person myself so can't really comment much but I do love the look of PSM mini on others I have to say. And I've seen it on various age, style, size people.
I'm sure you're rocking it as well! :hbeat:

But I know what you mean, I think.. We women can be rather harsh on ourselves sometimes, e.g. I have small crosbodies that I've been staying away from for a while know, as I know I've gained a bit of weight in the last year and I'm thinking they no longer suit me (or maybe - vice versa??) I do feel uncomfortable with the way I am at the moment, so I've been hiding behind large totes lot...:frown: which is sad, as I love smaller bags more..
Oh, and I'm turning 37 this summer - I sure hope this is still classed as mid-thirties...:giggle:

Does anyone have any of the world tour items? I am debating a Victorine purse with some of the prints but not sure if it's worth it or if I just like playing with the combinations on the website...

That's definitely still mid-thirties. I hear you on being hard on ourselves. It's so easy to convince ourselves that something doesn't suit us when in fact other people will think it looks unreal.
