hello ! so my SA at VCA indicated some rare pieces like the Magic Alhambra collection are soon going to be unavailable for pre-order globally.
She indicated that in some Asian countries the Alhambra line cannot be preordered (atm) but can be bought only based on availability in stores.

Is this is the same where you live ? any one know anything more ?

Hi! I am based in Asia and have been frequenting 2 stores (in different countries). I can't say about Magic as of last weekend - my SA told me that the order for Magic is still ongoing. FYI, I was enquiring about Magic in Pave though, not in colored stones.

However for Alhambra - this is true. All Alhambra items are not available for pre-order/deposit and we can only purchase when they are received in store. Having said that, I feel the stocks/inventory are quite OK in general except for earrings. Earrings may be a hit or miss I must say depending on which stones/metals one is looking for.

I believe that magic YG pave earrings are coming back as a regular line item, was this communicated to you as well?

I could use a bit of advice… Chanel jacket or Frivole pendant??? I’m treating myself, but can only choose one. Sigh…
Chanel jacket: love this piece more than anything I’ve seen from Chanel in a while. Love a good masculine/ feminine look. Cons… I’ve got some more baby weight to lose before it’s comfortable for me to wear and not feel self conscious.
Frivole: would be my first VCA necklace. I have a pave 5 motif VA bracelet and matching earrings. Love the idea of a similar, but different pendant. Would be worn daily.

Would love your thoughts on if you would choose the Frivole and why? Or if I should just keep the jacket and know I’ll be back to my usual size soon enough :angel:

Both look beautiful on you! For me, I would choose the pendant though because it is something that would bring me joy everyday, whilst the jacket would not be able to be worn on a daily basis. So, when treating yourself to something special, I think wearing and enjoying it daily feels extra special. Good luck deciding. :)

Hi Everyone!
It's almost Memorial Day here in the U.S., the unofficial start of summer!
Summer and travel jewelry boxes go hand in hand.

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of Wolf jewelry boxes and love love love the Maria cube and box for travel.
I caved and also bought the new Tangerine color in addition to the Mustard color I have. I thought I would post a photo of the new color in case any of you might be interested. Even though the color is called Tangerine, I would say it's more a bright Persimmon, a very happy color. I put VCA travel pouches in the jewelry boxes so you can see how perfectly they fit.

I got my new Tangerine Wolfs at NM during an EGC 25% promotion. Lo and behold, the same promotion is back, so I wanted to share. This promotion includes Wolf and Beauty. I love it when promos include beauty!
Two Wolf Maria boxes and some facial lotion/treatments (I vote La Mer) will definitely get you on your way to 25% off.
P.S. I stock up on La Mer when these promos come out. Best way to save on La Mer.

Oh, the interior of the new Tangerine color is also Tangerine as you can see. The interior of my Mustard is beige. Just a small detail to point out.

Hope some of you found this helpful.IMG_2167.jpeg

Thank you for highlighting this. I like the size of the Maria case. I received my first Wolf travel case (Pink Caroline Travel Cube) as gift and have given a couple as gifts as well. Nordstrom includes several Wolf jewelry and watch cases in its Anniversary Sale, which usually starts in mid-July. If memory serves me correctly they are 35-40% off. I also like the Wolf jewelry trays that are stackable for jewelry storage at home.

Hi! Question, how many of the VCA larger size travel pouches can you stack in the smaller Maria travel cube?

Love this new pop of Tangerine color!! I bought the Maria Cube in Mustard also as per your recommendation during the winter sale but haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet for travel. It’s a great container for storage though! Thank you for the heads up on the sale!

Hi. Does anyone know if they removed mto for vintage GMOP in RG? Was trying to order the earrings and I can only do magic now. My friend was still able to do as of late last year. Thanks. Is it the same where you are based? This is in Toronto. Thank you. My only hope is that it will be part of regular line Thanks
