Post your 2021 July Jewels Here!!

What an awesome July everyone's had

This is a sentimental pre-loved haul. I guess I even have to call them vintage at this point :shocked:

I first got into fashion and luxury in 2003/4 and Marc's LV work fascinated me. For S/S04 he did the "Desert Goddess" campaign with Theda as the headline runway piece. This frankly odd-looking bag captivated me for some reason and 14-year-old me would go by the store just to look at 'em. 17 years later I'm stoked to have scored an excellent deal on two pre-loved ones, even an exotic :panic:

They aren't very practical and my plain style doesn't match their energy but I don't care :biggrin:

yay! Lovely bags, and 14 yo you is now thrilled and happy! :P amazing how so many years ago you just knew, and here you are after waiting all this time. Congrats!
 
I was so taken by the pink WAH hat I made a complete impulse buy! It arrived today, and it’s gorgeous, but I didn’t realize that under the brim appears to be very thin vachetta leather (and I didn’t read carefully before buying)! It’s also dry clean only. It’s a medium and fits perfectly, but I just don’t know if I will feel I have to totally baby it. Any other folks get theirs yet? Get the feeling this one is going back. One rule lately for me that helps enormously is if I don’t love every single thing about it I don’t keep it, thereby funding other more loved purchases. Gorgeous, perhaps too impractical. Decisions decisions!!

It's a gorgeous hat but I think it's too much for what it is. I didn't even know there was vachetta underneath!

It’s lovely! But I really think you would have to baby it and still could not prevent certain things.
Your rule is very good! I will adopt it too :smile:

I know - vachetta isn’t my favorite for that reason - it’s lovely but not as carefree as other leathers. And on a hat bill! Yikes. Glad you like my rule :P I even use it at Target - have to fund LV somehow:drinks:

It’s a beautiful hat :smile:. I agree that the vachetta might be too hard to maintain on this piece. I love your rule about needing to love everything about an item for it to deserve a place in your collection. Have a great week T :smile:
