Yes, I am in Van, too. Did you get your stuff from Holts? I much prefer the SAs there than Hotel Van but probably because I find two of them at Holts to be the sweetest people (they don't push you to buy stuff and are honest if something just isn't your style). Did they mention anything about the price increase?
Sorry to be such an enabler
but I am stuck at home for a few weeks and can't get out to see things IRL unfortunately (and I am really having an LV craving for some new stuff - my pregnancy cravings haven't been for food but for LV bags). So I have to check out everyone's purchases this way until I can make it to the shop myself to load up.
Do you think the clanging will bother you or do you think you won't notice it as much after wearing them for a bit? But I really do like the colour combo together so hopefully you decide to keep the pink, too.
